"i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)"

– e.e. cummings

Welcome to this episode with the historian Prof. Dr. Sarah Cramsey where we talk about love as that invisible work that constitutes the bulk of human history.

Prof. Dr. Sarah Cramsey is the Special Chair for Central European Studies at Leiden University, an Assistant Professor of Judaism & Diaspora Studies, and Director of the Austria Centre Leiden.

From 2025-2030, she will be the Principal Investigator of “A Century of Care: Invisible Work and Early Childcare in Central and Eastern Europe, 1905–2004,” or CARECENTURY, a project funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant.

She is a historian of central and eastern Europe, the global Jewish experience throughout historical time, and the significant Jewish diasporas unleased from the lands between Berlin and Moscow as a result of the Holocaust, World War II, and postwar events.

Her second book is forthcoming with Indiana University Press and is called The Other Holocaust: Care, Children and the Jewish Catastrophe.
