Full Job Description

This is a three-volume book project in Sausalito, creating a one-of-a-kind work. This work intends to provide a much needed inquiry into one of the biggest conflicts of modern history which has collectively left us with a turbulent wake and many unresolved questions. Addressing the notion of healing between historic perpetrators and historic victims of genocide - and their respective heirs - using the example of Nazism and the Holocaust, the work looks at the 1933 to 1945 period by carefully documenting the trajectory of two individuals who held unique positions vis-a-vis the top leadership of the regime; it furthermore carefully examines the 1945 to today period by looking at how in particular the German people have dealt with their inheritance; and it also addresses the big open questions this historical gordian knot has left us all with. The project operates on the understanding that functional Wiedergutmachung / T'shuvah have yet to transpire. It aims to offer an improved understanding, improved approaches, and improved notions of resolution of seemingly irreconcilable worlds. As such, the work aims to bridge a complex and destructive past with a desirable and constructive future without turning a blind eye to anything.

You’ll be working with the author, who's out of town until July. The position will start in middle of July 2026 or whenever a suitable assistant is found. Hours likely 4-hour blocks, days TBD. Compensation depends on what you bring to the table. Position will entail complex, tedious, challenging, creative, menial & exciting aspects. Note that the job will be in-person for the time being.

Must-Haves:

- Strong interest in WW II, Nazism, Holocaust & healing on the heels of genocide

- Fluency in both German and English

- Ability to think dispassionately about deeply emotional dynamics

- Excellent and reliable communicator, verbally + written

- Competent research & writing skills

- Proficiency with Word, pdf and image management/manipulation

- Superior organizational skills, from big picture to small details

- Ability to handle large amount of complexity without getting lost (!)

- Complete reliability

- Non-negotiable confidentiality including NDA

Nice-To-Haves:

- AI experience for searching in large documents (not for content creation)

- Deep knowledge of WW II, Nazism, Holocaust, Reparations, other genocides

- English editorial skills, capacity to convey complexity with linguistic elegance

- Proficiency with hardware and software, ideally PC-based

- Deep thinker, ability to question any and all assumptions and understandings

- Creative problem solver

- Calmness under pressure & a quiet disposition

Note that unless your response is an actual submission of your qualified interest, responses to unsolicited observations or questions in general are unlikely to be responded to. Thank you for your consideration.

Address all points in your own way, ideally reflecting the above stated qualities. Undersell and overdeliver is a good guiding principle, and references are a good idea.

Pay: $30.00 - $40.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

Are you competent with high levels of complexity and large amounts of detail?
Are you highly functional in terms of being organized and tracking?
Are you able to think outside of all boxes and do so dispassionately and without bias about highly emotional topics?
