@JHIInstytut
! This project involved over 200 translators, editors, academic editors and members of the publishing department, I couldn't be more proud.
It's really here! The German translation of "Dipisi" and my first ever book in German. With massive thanks to the Viadrina Center of Polish and Ukrainian Studies, Harrasowitz Verlag and Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung.
There is a cover so it's getting real and the publication date is getting closer.

@dieter_steinert
and I wrote on the camp for children at Przemysłowa and the postwar investigations of the camp staff and leadership will be published next year by Palgrave Macmillan in the "The Holocaust and its Contexts" series.
So, it seems official that "Dipisi" are coming out in German this year. My first ever book in German and it will also be immediately available in Open Access. Thank you to all without whose help it wouldn't have happened. I'm really happy this story will be shared.

Testimonies (Relacje) collection is gradually becoming accessible online. Painful and emotionally raw, they were gathered among Holocaust survivors from 1944 and tell stories which we are still looking for the right words to tell.
Today is also the deadline for the summer school "Crises, Change and Creativity in Jewish Experience" at the Hebrew University, 31 July-4 August. I will be teaching there (on sexuality and the Holocaust) alongside several excellent colleagues. Apply!
