Christine Liu

Christine Liu is a PhD Candidate in History at the University of Maine. Her dissertation, currently titled “‘No place to go, no place to sleep, no place to eat’: Reimagining hunger in Holocaust ghettos in German-occupied Poland through digital spatial analysis” looks at experiences of Holocaust ghettos as inherently defined by hunger. It analyzes how starvation conditions destabilized conceptions of traditional gender roles, actions undertaken in pursuit of survival, and the permeability of boundaries. Her research has been funded by grants from Duke University, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI).
