Interesting take on the role of photographers at sites of mass destruction (here @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social), grand projects (by whom? for whom? for what?), and of photography's potential to help viewers understand complex historical events. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Roger Cohen on the anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre: “(…) hatred is an elixir, a potent political bomb, a seductive answer to the banality of life(…)It is always available to the nationalist demagogue ready to identify scapegoats, promise vengeance and whip a pliant population into a frenzy.”

Jacy wyborcy i kraj, taki nowy prezydent. Ponad 50% Polek i Polaków NIE wybrało postępu, poszanowania człowieka, godnego życia i kompetencji do sprawowania urzędu. Za to zakrólował nacjonalizm, nienawiśc, zaściankowośc, pogarda, huliganizm, korupcja i oszustwa. Oto Polska w XXI wieku.

Thanks so much to the @claims-conference.bsky.social for inviting me to provide feedback to some amazing early career scholar/fellows this week. It was great to see that our field is in such good hands!

Moja rozmowa z Martą Grudzińską o #FalszywaHrabina w programie @majdanekmuseum.bsky.social z okazji obchodów Jom Haszoa. Wyjątkowe okazje, kiedy mówię publicznie po polsku.

For #YomHashoah, I spoke with Phyllis Zimbler Miller and Evelyn Markus on their Never Again Is Now podcast about Jewish women's resistance during the #Holocaust. Have a listen about the various ways in which Jewish women of different ages tried to resist persecution and thwart the Nazi racist plans.

Zapraszamy do wysłuchania rozmowy na temat fascynującej historii Janiny Suchodolskiej. Transmisja będzie dostępna na naszym Facebooku o godz. 17:00.

W Jom Haszoa, żydowskim Dniu Pamięci o Zagładzie, porozmawiam z Martą Grudzińską w programie online @majdanekmuseum.bsky.social o #FałszywaHrabina #CounterfeitCountess, która nie dość, że starała się przeżyć pod przybraną tożsamością katoliczki arystokratki, to jeszcze pomagała Polakom na Majdanku

An engaged audience is every speaker’s dream. Thanks to the guests at my talk about @simonandschuster.bsky.social #CounterfeitCountess @rowanuniversity.bsky.social we had an enriching discussion. Now there’s a recording.

Two former Claims Conference #SaulKagan Fellows, Drs. Aleksandra Bankowska and Tomasz Frydel, joined the editorial board of the prestigious scholarly journal #HolocaustStudies of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research. Peruse the issues and a wealth of articles ⬇️ www.zagladazydow.pl/index.php/zz

When I speak @deborahdwork.bsky.social, the stress of being recorded disappears. Debórah is the reason I'm a Holocaust scholar and educator. She's my role model and a cherished advisor. I'm lucky to have such a brilliant and wonderfully supportive person in my life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdr2...

Former Claims Conference #SaulKagan Fellows share their expertise in #HolocaustStudies in various ways. Dr. Kamil Kijek is the co-author of the new exhibit concept at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews about Jewish life after the #Holocaust. On view until Sep 15. polin.pl/en/event/194...

From now on it’s not worth obsessing if you say “thank you for your massage” instead of “thank you for your message.”

The Dutch-language @uitgeverijbalans.bsky.social book co-authored by former #SaulKagan Fellow @aaltje1978.bsky.social "Ik weet me geen raad" ("I don't know what to do."

On March 24, the @simonandschuster.bsky.social #CounterfeitCountess story is coming to @rowanuniversity.bsky.social. I will give the Dr. Paul B. Winkler Lecture, in honor of the late exec dir of the NJ Commission on #HolocaustEducation.

On Sunday, I went to the Jewish cemetery in Lübeck Moisling to see the grave of Therese Teichner. She died in July 1945, only 17 years old. Three months earlier, she was liberated in Bergen Belsen. Teichner's story is a powerful reminder of the forgotten Holocaust victims, in a multitude of ways.

Lecturers in the #UniversityPartnership in #HolocaustStudies are committed to #HolocaustEducation. Dr. Karin Hofmeisterova @charlesuni.cuni.cz discussed the Malach Visual History Center, an access point for over 55,000 testimonies @uscshoahfoundation.bsky.social. reportermagazin.cz/87087/pametn...

Holocaust survivor Sonia Klein, the oldest of Itzack and Jospa Joskowicz’s three children, was born in Warsaw on June 16, 1925. When WW2 broke out, their family home was destroyed and they moved in with relatives until the Warsaw ghetto was established in 1940. As rumors of youtu.be/Jq4gWyn0sNY

📣 Launching at the Library next month The traces remaining of the POW and Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen are faint: the SS destroyed records before liberation and the barracks were burnt down by British forces post war to eradicate disease. The site became a mass grave for its victims...

Claims Conference #SaulKagan Fellows are shaping #HolocaustStudies and #HolocaustEducation around the world. In France, Dr. Marie Moutier-Bitan is a Chair d'Excellence in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Caen. Read on about her role @lepoint.fr www.lepoint.fr/histoire/la-...

Love this articulation of why academic work continues to be essential. Agree with commenters on addition of "connecting and contextualizing disparate pieces of information" - staying focused, not flooded.

This Purim, I got to speak with Phyllis Zimbler Miller about another brave Jewish woman in a different era who saved, what she considered to be, her people during the Holocaust. @simonbooks.bsky.social #CounterfeitCountess. youtu.be/wibprbyJfng

Mazel Tov! to former Claims Conference #SaulKagan Fellows! Polly Zavadivker's book "A Nation of Refugees" and @waitmanwbeorn.com's book "Between the Wires" were finalists for the @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social National Jewish Book Awards. www.jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-daily/74t...

Diaries and memoirs of #Holocaust survivors are important records about persecution and survival. Former Claims Conference #SaulKagan Fellow Emanuel Grec wrote about Mihail Sebastian's memoir, a famous Romanian Jewish writer who documented the antisemitic violence he endured in Bucharest.
