 Ulrike Becker
Graduate Fellow, YIISA Ulrike Becker is a PhD candidate in History at the University Stuttgart, Germany. Her dissertation investigates the Middle Eastern Policy of West Germany, and issues of Antisemitism and hostility toward Israel in the Arab world between 1952 and 1979. The analysis focuses on Germany's relations to Egypt and the PLO. Ulrike's research also assesses the German political elites' relationship with their Nazi past. A scholarship from the Fondation pour la mémoire de la Shoah has made this doctorate possible. Ulrike's earlier studies focused on contemporary Antisemitism in Germany. Her MA thesis examined the depiction of Israel in the German press. In 1997 she was co-author of the book "Goldhagen und die deutsche Linke," a study assessing how the German Left perceived Daniel Goldhagen's book "Hitler's Willing Executioners." In 2008, Ulrike was the co-founder of the Mideast Freedom Forum Berlin, a non-profit organization that focuses on raising awareness about the threat of the Iranian Regime to its citizens, to a democratic and secular interests in the Middle East and Israel. |
