FUNDING IS REQUIRED TO CONTINUE DOCTORAL LEVEL RESEARCH INTO THE FORGOTTEN VICTIMS OF THE WW2 NAZI HOLOCAUST: THE MURDER OF THE MENTALLY ILL ON THE EASTERN FRONT BY THE EINSATZGRUPPEN.

THERE IS INFACT NO ACADEMIC RESEARCH LITERATURE UPON THIS TOPIC AND SO INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY. SO FAR 70 OF THE 195 OFFICIAL EINSATZGRUPPEN REPORTS (U.S.S.R. O.S.R.s : RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN OPERATIONAL SITUATION REPORTS) HAVE BEEN ANALYSED BY MYSELF AND FUNDING IS REQUIRED TO CONTINUE THE RESEARCH BEYOND THIS PILOT STUDY STAGE TO ANALYSE THE 125 REMAINING.

IT IS ENVISIONED THAT THE STUDY WILL PRODUCE RESEARCH PAPERS WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED TO ACADEMIC JOURNALS FOR PUBLICATION AND SUBMITTED TO SYMPOSIA FOR PRESENTATION BOTH IN THE PSYCHOLOGY AND HISTORY SPHERES. MORE GENERAL ARTICLES DERIVED FROM THE RESEARCH WILL ALSO BE SUBMITTED TO MAINSTREAM NEWSPAPER/MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS. IT IS IN SUCH WAYS THAT THE FORGOTTEN VICTMS WILL BE REMEMBERED.

IT IS HOPED THE RESEARCH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPLETION OF A PhD. I HAVE PSYCHOLOGY PhD EXPERIENCE (ASTON UNIVERSITY 1998-1999), A POSTGRADUATE MSc IN RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY (READING UNIVERSITY 1997) AND A 2:1 B.A. (Hons) PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE (READING UNIVERSITY 1992-1995) AND EVEN AN A-LEVEL IN PSYCHOLOGY (GRADE A) ! I HAVE BEEN A BOOKSELLER SINCE 1999 AND HAVE RUN MY OWN ANTIQUARIAN, RARE AND OUT-OF-PRINT MILITARY HISTORY BOOK BUSINESS FROM 2002 TO DATE.

MY HERITAGE SURNAME, FORMAL PSYCHOLOGY EDUCATION AND MILITARY HISTORY EXPERIENCE WILL CONGREGRATE PERFECTLY, MAKING ME THE IDEAL CANDIDATE TO CARRY OUT THIS RESEARCH.
