Sarah Lynne Crane

Professor Crane studies the Holocaust's impact on contemporary understandings of a "just" response to genocide and other mass atrocities. Her research focuses on the Holocaust’s influence on international criminal law through examining the judicial and expressive functions of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Eichmann, and Frankfurt-Auschwitz Trials. Her research has been supported by the German-American Fulbright Commission, the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. She holds a Ph.D. in History and Peace Studies from the University of Notre Dame, an M.A from Indiana University Bloomington, and a B.A. from Earlham College.
