Education and career[edit]

Yeomans received his PhD from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London in 2005.[2] He was a member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.[3] He has held fellowships at the University of Oxford, the Centre for Advanced Study in Bulgaria and the Wiener Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies, as well as a European Holocaust Research Infrastructure fellowship with the Bundesarchiv in Berlin.[4]
