Dr. Martin Jander was born in Freiburg im Breisgau. He works as an instructor for German History in European Context at Stanford University (Berlin) and at FU-BEST, a program of Free University Berlin for Universities in the US that do not have their own campus in Germany. During his studies of German, History, Sociology, and Political Science in the late 1970s and early 1980s in West-Berlin, he establisheded contact with several opposition members in the GDR and followed their activities. Since then, the topic of opposition in the GDR has been one of his main research fields. His second important field of research is German left-wing terrorism and its international connections. In both fields of research, Jander is particularly interested in references to Antisemitism. Anetta Kahane and Martin Jander developed the concept of an ‘unfinished republic’ to describe the current Federal Republic of Germany (Martin Jander, Anetta Kahane, Gefährdungen demokratischer Kultur: Die unvollendete Republik, in: Martin Jander, Anetta Kahane, Gesichter der Antimoderne. Gefährdungen demokratischer Kultur in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Baden-Baden 2020, pp. 11-36).
