Academic Experience:
With regards to my Masters dissertation at the Universityof St Andrews, the main information was derived from an interview with Heinz Skyte, originally from Nurembergand who now resides in Leeds, England. From analysing the personal accounts of a Jewish citizen living in Nazi Germany during the interwar period, the dissertation was able to recreate a contemporary viewpoint of the actions of the Gestapo and bring a welcome sense of zeal and colour to the often impersonal interpretations within scholarly publications.
