Education: BA (Honours) History & Medieval & Medievalism Studies, Laurier
Supervisor: Gary Bruce
Alicia recently completed her double-major Bachelor in History and Medieval Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University and moved across the street to the University of Waterloo to complete her Master’s Degree in Holocaust studies. A life-long interest in Nazi-era Germany and several courses on the subject in her undergraduate years, including a 2023 travel course to Poland to visit former sites of Holocaust atrocities led her to pursue further studies specifically in Holocaust memorialization. Under the supervision of Dr. Gary Bruce she will complete further research on how former camps, ghettos, other relevant sites, and later memorials within Germany, are used as places of mourning and education in the years following the Second World War and into the present day.
