Watch this space, friends, for upcoming information about the must-have forthcoming volume, _Keeping Contact: Jewish Cultural Initiatives across Cold War Borders_ (Purdue UP), edited by @labendz.bsky.social and myself.

That must be one helluva bag

Just finished the final draft of my latest book chapter:

"Haredi Geographies: Jewish Cemeteries in Poland and Czechoslovakia"

It's for an edited volume that I'm putting together with @rkpejsova.bsky.social on Jewish contact across Cold War boundaries. (Purdue, forthcoming).

Belarus opposition leader Siarhei Tsikhanouski freed from jail, says wife Tsikhanousk’s arrest and activism sparked unprecedented protests in Belarus, challenging Lukashenko’s decades-long rule.

Belarus has released a group of political prisoners.

Exiled Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s husband Siarhei is among the released. He was arrested in 2020 as the opposition presidential candidate. Afterwards his wife won the election, but the regime did not acknowledge this.

#ASEEES friends!

@rkpejsova.bsky.social & I are looking for a 3rd panelist to present on State Security (organs) in global perspective.

We approach the Cold War as a single system that operated upon the construct of a divided world.

#aseees people: @labendz.bsky.social Jacob Labendz and I are looking to put together a panel on Postwar state security in a global perspective, with or without Jews as the focus. Please send either of us a message if you are interested!
