Claudia Ann Koonz is an American historian of Nazi Germany. Koonz's critique of the role of women during the Nazi era, from a feminist perspective, has become a subject of much debate and research in itself.[1][2] She is a recipient of the PEN New England Award, and a National Book Award finalist.[3][4] Koonz has appeared on the podcasts Holocaust, hosted by University of California Television,[5] and Real Dictators, hosted by Paul McGann.[6] In the months before the 2020 United States presidential election, Koonz wrote about the risks of autocracy in the United States for History News Network[7][8] and the New School's Public Seminar.[9]
