Many deep thanks to the summer school organizers Helena Duffy (University of Wrocław), Sue Vice (University of Sheffield), & Jenny Watson (University of Edinburgh)!

Let’s do this again next…!

I was honored to speak at two of the summer school’s film screenings for #Denial and #JojoRabbit 🎬

Many thanks to the other participants for their engaging discussions on #Holocaust representation. I especially enjoyed our convos on the role of the #survivor in Denial & the child #witness in Jojo

Had a wonderful experience at the University of #Wrocław’s Summer School on #Holocaust literature & film.

Incredibly well-organized w/ thoughtful lectures, engaging workshops, a visit to #Gross-Rosen concentration camp & time in #Jewish Wrocław at the old synagogue & dinner at Jewish restaurants

The next #Stolpersteine in #Jersey are for Jean and Marcel Rossi, deported for refusing to work for the Germans and having Italian ancestry. They experienced #Gross-Rosen, #Blechhammer and #Hersbruck concentration camps. Marcel died on a forced march.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Looking forward to @soniapurnell.bsky.social’s talk on her new book #Kingmaker at the IWM London

Really excited about the work of the HRC so far! Many thanks to those who have already reached out about our services. We look forward to continuing to work with researchers and families, supporting #Holocaust research & #education!

Since the Shelby County v. Holder Supreme Court decision, a slew of discriminatory anti-voter bills have been introduced or enacted to restrict access to the ballot box.

We must continue to urge our elected officials to protect #VotingRights! #democracy

Absolutely worth the visit…!

🚨Contact your local representative & tell them 📣 We will NOT stand for the overturning of equitable #publiceducation: www.house.gov/representati...

With the Trump admin moving to dismantle the #DepartmentofEducation, we must take action to protect equal opportunities and higher education for all.

I also had a really lovely conversation with Catharine Boyd, Head of Education, about the inclusion of the Rwandan genocide in the permanent exhibition.

Many thanks, Catherine!

Recently visited the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre.

I really enjoyed the focus on pre-war Jewish life, including sports, music, & other cultural activities, as well as the exhibition’s effort to explain Judaism & Jewish customs through ritual objects.

@parkesinstitute.bsky.social hosted a screening of Jessie Eisenberg’s #ARealPain — it’s a lovely example of 3rd Gen #Holocaust representation. Go see it if you haven’t!

Really enjoyed the fantastic discussion w/ EmilyRose Baker, Tony Kushner, & Janek Gryta, moderated by @charlieknight.bsky.social
