Donations And Foundation

Viola Olschewski is currently undertaking a dual Master’s degree in History at Ruhr University Bochum. She also works there as a lecturer in the field of regional memory culture in the Ruhr region.

Her academic research focuses on ancient history, in particular the legitimisation of power through religion, the conceptions of poverty and wealth held by Christian and pagan authors, and the culture of historical remembrance and memory.

Alongside her academic work, she is currently a journalist at Vatican News in Rome. In her series of articles entitled ‘What Remains?’, she explores history within the Vatican and examines the significance that historical sites and traditions continue to hold today.
