We have only done a few movies twice on Historians At The Movies, but I think Rob Reiner’s work should be on that list. Join us on Disney+ this Sunday, December 21 at 8pm eastern for THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

Thank you to @jewishstudies.bsky.social for the opportunity to present on my dissertation during this year's AJS Conference. It was my first time participating in the AJS and I'm already looking forward to hopefully attend again next year!

A reminder that I mostly left Twitter because I was getting so relentlessly sexually harassed on there that I basically couldn't do anything anymore & there are a group of women who all have similar experiences and we all talk about it with each other! This stuff sucks so much!

I’m creating a panel on children’s perspectives and agency during the Holocaust for the 2026 Lessons & Legacies conference. If you’re interested or know someone who might be interested in participating let me know! And, please share widely!

Reminder: Applications for our 2026 West Coast Germanists' Workshop are due this Friday, November 14! Details about our gathering next spring at UC Boulder are here: www.ghi-dc.org/events/event...

Puerto Rican service to the U.S. armed forces dates back to the Spanish-American War, after which Puerto Rico & other then-Spanish colonies were ceded to the United States in 1898. They have served in every war the U.S. military has been involved in since then. prismreports.org/2025/05/15/p...
