Jenna Fagan joined the Auschwitz Institute in February of 2022 as the Program Officer for the REPAIR program. She received an M.A. in Holocaust & Genocide Studies from West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 2018. While there, she had the opportunity to present her work internationally in Brisbane, Australia, and traveled to Germany and Poland for field research. In 2021, she received an M.A. in History from Lehigh University where her research focused on the assessment of perpetrators by scholars in genocide periodicals. Her work also discussed perpetrators’ capacity and levels of culpability relating to genocide and mass atrocities. Jenna has also done comparative work on the trials and sentencing of perpetrators, the history of human rights as an ideal concept, and worked with survivors of genocide to create oral history archives.
The Eradicate Hate Global Summit brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and policymakers from around the world to share best practices and lessons learned, based on data and empirical evidence, in countering hate-fueled extremism and violent narratives. No other summit, conference, or workshop brings together such an extraordinary group of world-class talent focused on dealing with the issue of hate-fueled violent extremism.
