From the end of March 2009 until November 2011, she was the founding director of the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism.
She gained her doctorate with a thesis on German Jewish and political emigration during the NS period to Latin America, also in Bochum.
The Lord Mayor Christian Ude announced disciplinary steps in April 2011 as a result of this, and the city councillor Marian Offman, who is also vice-president of the Jewish Community of Munich, demanded an apology from Wojak.
Wojak, on the other hand, initially emphasised that she had not had the opportunity to explain her concept, as it had been presented without her on 7 October due to illness.
In mid-November, an agreement was finally reached and a joint press release was issued by Wojak and the City of Munich, which spoke of "sustained differences of opinion" between Wojak and the advisory bodies about the "orientation, content and function" of the planned centre, due to which a separation had taken place.
