While this website is being developed, here is a brief presentation of my career and work. After studying history, geography and ethnology, I taught at secondary schools and at the University of Strasbourg. I am now a contemporary history researcher and documentary filmmaker specialising in the history of National Socialism, homosexualities, Alsace and other European territories annexed by the Third Reich.

I carried out research stays in Germany at the University of Dresden, then at the Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin, before defending in 2018 a doctoral thesis in contemporary history at the University of Strasbourg entitled Justice and Homosexuality under National Socialism: A Comparative Study of Baden and Alsace, which was awarded the Schöpflin Prize 2019 by the Förderverein des Generallandesarchivs Karlsruhe. Subsequently, I carried out research stays in Poland and Slovenia on homosexualities under German occupation (1939-1945) with the support of the German Historical Institute in Warsaw. I am currently an associate member of the ARCHE historical sciences research laboratory at the University of Strasbourg and am leading a research project for the Saarland on the repression of male homosexuality between 1933 and 1994.

I also work on the history of annexed Alsace and forced conscription. I co-edited with Peter M. Quadflieg the collective volume Forced Conscription in the Territories Annexed by the Third Reich (2016) published by Presses Universitaires de Strasbourg. I wrote and co-directed with Jean-Marie Fawer the documentary film Torgau 1939-1945 - Chronicle of a Military Justice (2013) co-produced by Ana Films and France 3 Alsace, for which I was nominated for the Franco-German Journalism Prize in the “Young Talent” category 2014.
