Ep. 73- Babi Yar History and Memory with Victoria Khiterer - The Holocaust History Podcast It was the largest open shooting of the Holocaust (and perhaps in history).  Yet the murder in Babi Yar of 33,000+ Jews and other victims remained for much of its postwar life, unmarked and uncom...

In this episode, we go back to Babi Yar, the largest open-air shooting of the Holocaust which took place in Kyiv in September 1941.

I talked with Victoria Khiterer about the massacre, bystanders, and the incredible struggle to commemorate this event.

A COTTAGE IN NORWAY – JUST CURIOUS JANE In April 2025, my family bought a beautiful but unloved forest cottage in Norway. Gradually, it's being brought back to life.

New blog post out today - I've returned to where my writing journey began, with a little spot of travel writing. Enjoy!

Some have queried the need to raise funds for my book on architect Alfred Waterhouse. I attach images which can be bought online for £30 each. If you go thro an online image library you will pay £50+. Over £700 raised but aiming for as much as I can! . All donations acknowledged. lnkd.in/ecXyGc4A

Invisible Rainbows The tale of the invisible Universe and the LGBTQIA+ astronomers discovering it

UK folks!! Marvelous new book coming out there in May from @drcarpineti.bsky.social! It's very 🔭 and very queer, so very 🌈🌈🌈🌈!! 🧪

Happy St David’s Day and 1st day of meteorological spring!

Very much like, but not for breakfast. When I can persuade the family to have the occasional meat-free meal, it’s a great supper dish.

The variety of buildings by Waterhouse I find astounding. Not only town halls & uni buildings but many domestic properties remain. The book is underway & the plea for donations for historic images is reaping a response. A plea to donate if possible all donations acknowledged.

Victorian Drinking Fountains Talk by Kathryn Ferry Kathryn Ferry will share the findings of her study of the public drinking fountain, found in almost every town during the Victorian era.

#victorian #drinkingfountains seem pretty niche now but if you lived in the 1850s, without access to piped water & only the pub to go to when you got really thirsty, they were an absolute marvel. As I'll explain @thevicsoc.bsky.social in #manchester next month

A doggie privacy screen in an airport

I like how the Kamloops airport has a little spot for dogs to take a shit, but with a privacy screen in case little Rover is shy

This makes me incandescently angry. A refugee from genocide, a vulnerable, nearly blind man in an unfamiliar country, just treated like trash.

Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail.

This is always so nice when you celebrate your colleagues ❤️

LOL...the one time you need an autocorrect to get it right. Luckily, I hadn't hit send.
