Biografie

After a certificate in Applied communication from the Sherbrooke University and a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Montreal, I am now an active member of the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies (CCGES). Currently a graduate student in history at Montreal University, I am studying the contribution of youth culture to the acceptance of National Socialist values by the German youth during the Third Reich. By focusing on the cultural aspect of Nazi education - via children's literature, toys, and board games - this work sheds light on the practices and ideas that defined, within the private sphere, the experience of the youth under National Socialism, as well as the memory that ensued.

Après un certificat en communication appliquée de l’Université de Sherbrooke et un baccalauréat en histoire de l’Université de Montréal, je suis aujourd’hui un membre actif du Centre canadien d’études allemandes et européennes (CCÉAE).  Présentement aux études supérieures en histoire à l’Université de Montréal, j'étudie l’apport de la culture jeunesse dans l’acceptation des valeurs nationales-socialistes par les jeunes Allemand(e)s sous le Troisième Reich. En focalisant sur l’aspect culturel de l’éducation nazie - via la littérature jeunesse, les jouets et les jeux de société - ce travail éclaire les pratiques et les idées qui ont défini, au sein de la sphère privée, l'expérience de la jeunesse sous le national-socialisme, ainsi que la mémoire qui en découle. Mots-clés : Alltagsgeschichte, Histoire, Allemagne, national-socialisme, culture jeunesse, enfance, éducation, propagande, mémoire;
