Thrilled to announce the publication of my review article on children’s histories of genocide in @JournalGenocide. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Not to mention that the IHRA definitely is widely rejected by many scholars of antisemitism!
You need to understand how crazy this antisemitism bill is that just passed the House with wide bipartisan approval. The law requires the Department of Education to adopt the definition of antisemitism provided by something called the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

Critique the movie all you want (and we should), but its impact in inspiring interest in the Holocaust remains unmatched among every group of students I’ve encountered.
Understand but … I think the film and the book had a far more important impact on advancing interest in the Holocaust than many of us academics are prepared to accept. It certainly achieved an instant emotional grip unlike more high brow films.

Viktor Pestek, an SS man in the Terezin Family Camp and famous for collaborating with Vítězslav Lederer to escape, openly expressed his Romanian identity! The Museum’s claim is overtly false.

The actual Auschwitz museum is engaging in denial! What world do we live in! We need to call out this unacceptable behavior and not just blindly retweet Polish ethnonationalist views.
The actual Auschwitz Museum is saying that a direct quote from a survivor was put out of context by the author of the article. Most likely the article talks about SS guards and functionary prisoners that guarded other prisoners in the camp without accurate clarification.

A case study in the politicization of Holocaust memory in Poland. Those 30 prisoners were issued prisoner numbers! We cannot erase history to fit far-right nationalist narratives of martyrdom.
We consider June 14 to be the date of the beginning of Auschwitz.
May 20, 1940, when the SS brought 30 German criminal prisoners to become future functionaries, was still a preparation phase.
