Anette Isaacs, M.A., is a German-born public historian, educator, and sought-after lecturer specializing in German history and culture, the Holocaust and the history of the Third Reich/Nazi Germany. She has spent more than a decade bringing history to diverse audiences through engaging, accessible, and historically rigorous lectures and educational programs.
Anette earned advanced degrees in American Studies, Political Science, and History from the Freie Universität Berlin. She also pursued graduate study at Emory University as a DAAD Scholar and at the University of Vienna as an Erasmus Scholar.
Holocaust history and education are a particular focus of her work. She is passionate about helping students and public audiences understand the Holocaust not only as a historical event, but through the experiences, choices, and individual stories of the people who lived through it.
For many years, Anette served as Director of Germany for Group I.S.T./Road Scholar, developing educational travel programs throughout Germany for thousands of American customers. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Florida International University (FIU).
Today, Anette, who makes her home in the Miami area, continues her work as a lecturer, lifelong learning strategist for NSU NOVA's LLI, and public educator, speaking to university and school audiences, museums, Jewish communities, and the general public. Her goal is simple: to make history intellectually compelling, deeply human, and relevant to the world we live in today.
Her vast knowledge about her native country's history, culture, society, and politics will undoubtedly be a real asset to your institution and event! To book her as a consultant or lecturer, please see the contact page.
