There are more of us than there are of them.

Boarding a 15-hour flight to Johannesburg for the Biennial Conference of the IAGS @genocidescholars.bsky.social! Looking forward to visiting South Africa and presenting some new research. #history #historians #Booksky

My book Spaces of Treblinka was selected as a finalist for the German Studies Association’s Milton Prize that recognizes the best book on the Holocaust from any field!

From a student’s paper on Hannah Arendt: “The reason totalitarian propaganda works is that it relieves individuals from the burden of thinking.” literally 💯

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end. In the meantime: • Figure out a small way to help someone • Figure out a small way to fight back • Figure out a small place to find joy • Figure out a small way to grow and thrive And do it often.

"@jacobflaws.bsky.social is to be commended for producing an insightful and original perspective on Treblinka and its environs...the book is well written, amply illustrated, and compelling," writes Joshua Hagen for the American Historical Review. bit.ly/4o1ECsH

I have a book cover! After years of work, "Survival at Treblinka: Geography, Gender, and Social Networks in Jewish Resistance" is available for pre-order. It will ship in March and the official release date is set for April 2026. I can't wait to share this important history and hear from readers!

My book is up on the publisher’s website and available for preorder! Things are getting real now.

So if Trump issues an executive order suspending the Constitution now, each federal district judge would have to block that for their own district? So you could end with the Constituion suspended in parts of the country but not in others? #SCOTUS #Trump

Excited to be delivering this talk on 7/1!

Can’t wait!

On the 84th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, I am reminded that throughout history, madmen at the helm with delusions of grandeur pay the costs of their blind ambition with the lives of both vocal supporters and those resisters dragged along along for the ride in equal measure.

This is fascism.

@jacobflaws.bsky.social there’s only one copy of your book. The space is where I took one to buy!

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

From last September…

At least we will always have this.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Good luck today, Canada. It’s an open note exam.

I’ll take “Things fascists say for $100”
