Four topics are the area of focus here. Holocaust studies is broadly defined and includes material in Israel as well as Western Europe, all of which focuses on events leading up to and including World War 2. Ottoman Balkans is an area where it is difficult to find research materials. The focus here is on Greece and Albania and the late Ottoman Wars in Europe. The Spanish Civil War is an interesting topic because it was a staging ground for World War 2 and enabled the Germans and Italians to refine their war material and tactics. World War 1 and 2 is a huge area of research in itself. The focus here is primarily the European theatre, focusing mainly on German and Italian sourced material
