Between gang wars and burnout: being a teacher in New York City

Thomas Strasser studied physics and PPP (philosophy, pedagogy and psychology) at the University of Vienna and came to New York in 2003 as part of an exchange program for Austrian teachers. He did his community service as a memorial servant in Auschwitz and he helps coordinate a round table for German-speaking Holocaust survivors, which has been held weekly in Manhattan since 1943. Every week Strasser helps the hostess, a 94-year-old former Viennese woman, with the preparations and tidying up.
