Anne Berg is Assistant Professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. Trained as a historian of modern Germany and Europe, Anne studies waste and recycling, film and cities, racism and genocide. Her research proceeds along a number of parallel tracks, connected by a sustained interest in the visual, the spatial and the material. Her first book, On Screen and Off: Cinema and the Making of Nazi Hamburg (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2022) examines the processes by which local actors from welfare workers, cultural experts, to administrators transformed Hamburg into a Nazi city, using film and film discourse to articulate their ideas about how Nazism ought to work. Anne has published articles on the history of waste in Nazi Germany, the United States and South Africa. Her second book, Empire of Rags and Bones: Waste and War in Nazi Germany (Oxford University Press, 2024) examines the disturbing connections between waste management and genocide in the Third Reich. Currently, Anne is working on a global environmental history of garbage. At Penn, Anne teaches courses on German and European History, the history of National Socialism, world history, environmental history, and the history of garbage.
