Anna Boogaard is a lecturer in modern history at the University of Amsterdam and an author. She specializes in the history of resistance during World War II, particularly the role of women in it. Currently, Anna is writing her first non-fiction book for the publisher De Arbeiderspers, which will be released in the spring of 2025. The book investigates the forgotten resistance stories of a group of female University of Amsterdam students who later worked together at a cinema in Amsterdam called Kriterion. Known by resistance fighters as 'the girls', these women ultimately became nameless in history and faded from the narrative. Starting as a master's thesis, Anna's research explores the personal resistance stories of these early female staff members and seeks to answer why the histories of these women are often overlooked. Before joining the University of Amsterdam as a lecturer, she worked as a program maker at the Amsterdam 4 and 5 committee and as a researcher at the Anne Frank Foundation, where she mainly studied the life stories of campmates of the eight fugitives.
