Santiago López Rodríguez (Salamanca, 1991) graduated in History and Historical Heritage at the University of Extremadura (2009–2013), where he also finished two Masters: one in Teaching (2014) and the other in Research and Humanities (2015). He completed his PhD dissertation “Spanish Foreign Office during the Holocaust in Occupied France (1940-1944)” with a National Research Grant (2016–2020), which obtained the “International Mention” Summa Cum Laude and Extraordinary Doctorate Award (2021). His research deals with Franco’s regime and the Holocaust, focusing on Spain’s diplomatic role in occupied countries and Spanish anti-Semitism. He taught at the University of Extremadura (2017-2020) and was visiting researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid (2017-2018) and École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris (2019). Since 2021, he has been a postdoctoral fellow at Hugo Valentin Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Uppsala University (Sweden). He is conducting a research project entitled: "Witnessing the Holocaust: Spain and Portugal during the Second World War" (2023-2026), funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. López Rodríguez is the author of several publications, among them the book: El Holocausto y la España de Franco (Turner: Madrid/México, 2022) and was awarded the Charles V European Award (2019) for his research in Contemporary anti-Semitism in Western Europe and more recently the Miguel Artola Prize for best doctoral thesis in Contemporary History in Spain (2022).
