Kateřina Králová is Professor of Contemporary History and Head of the Research Centre for Memory Studies. As a historian, her work focuses on reconciliation with the Nazi past, the Holocaust, the Greek Civil War, post-war reconstruction, and conflict-related migration. K. Králová, an alumna of Phillips University Marburg, has been awarded major international fellowships, including the Alexander von Humboldt, the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute, a USHMM fellowship, and a Fulbright Fellowship at Yale University, and has thus conducted a substantial part of her research abroad. In addition, she received the 2017 Scholarly Society Award for Scientists Under 40 for her research achievements. She is, among other things, one of the founders of the Herzl Center for Israel Studies at CUNI, the 4EU+ Alliance research cluster “Plurality of Memories in Europe in Global Perspective,” the CENTRAL project “Institutionalizing Memory in Post-Conflict Societies”, and a leadership member of the COST-Action Slow Memory. In 2022, the Claims Conference supported her application for Holocaust Teaching Partnership, awarded to CUNI. K. Králová is the author of Das Vermächtnis der Besatzung: Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen seit 1940 (Böhlau, 2016; BpB 2017), numerous articles and volumes in Czech, English, German and Greek, and is an active member of several editorial boards.
