For some reason I was just thinking about #lastseen an incredible collection of photographs of Jews being deported from Nazi Germany, led by a team of scholars incl my colleague Wolf Gruner. Soon they will add photos of NS euthanasia deportations.

Thank you to @selbstzeugnisse.bsky.social for inviting me to participate on the workshop "Narrating the Past" yesterday! In the workshop I spoke about how the interview process of survivors can obscure or highlight the experiences of Jewish child survivors and Latin America as a region of refuge.

Puerto Rican veterans facing delayed care due to federal layoffs Puerto Rican veterans, who have served in the U.S. armed forces for more than a century, continue to receive unequal treatment amid cuts
