Analytical Research for Complex and Sensitive Source Material

Multi-month analytical research on previously unpublished archival interrogation records (1944, Cologne region), involving historically and ethically sensitive primary sources.

My focus lay on decoding and transforming complex, unstructured materials into a research-ready dataset through variable definition and categorization. It required continuous analytical judgment, balancing reduction with responsibility towards the source.

The project demonstrated that structure is never neutral, it shapes insight itself.
