Jennifer Marlow, PhD examined the pre-World War II patterns of cultural and socioeconomic interdependence and the evolution of wartime communities of shared responsibility among Catholic Poles and Polish Jews through the Polish Jewish employer/Polish Catholic domestic worker relationship. She used this employee/employer nexus to gain a better understanding of rescue, assistance, and survival efforts during the Holocaust. Dr. Marlow is exploring the bonds of familiarity and affection shaped in some middle class Jewish households between some nannies and housemaids and their charges and the role that these pre-war and gender attachments had in the organization of some aid and survival efforts during the Holocaust. In addition to her native English, she is proficient in Polish and German. Dr. Marlow was supervised by Dr. Keely Stauter-Halsted and also worked under the guidance of Dr. Kenneth Waltzer. Currently, Dr. Marlow teaches at Bethel University.
