Neo-Nazi armband, patch, & pin— from the German neo-Nazi organization Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, 1980s. It’s always eery to physically touch such items when researching in archives. The materiality is so powerful, but also a source of intergenerational trauma for me.

Germany’s AfD party is embedded in neo-Nazi networks that go back for decades, which I explore in the book I’m writing. This news about a secret meeting on how to expel foreigners from Germany is one of the more frightening iterations of their conspiring.

This article is also available in Turkish, Arabic and German. Versions in French and Russian can be found at partner media sites The Insider and Mediapart. Bit by bit, the brightly lit dining hall...

Researching neo-Nazis heals my intergenerational trauma. … and that’s my hot take of the day.

This is the closest expression of how I feel about this terrible war — as a progressive Jew and a professor who teaches the history of the Holocaust. It’s worth a read for all.

I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/

A group of great colleagues ( @JenniferVEvans , @ankahajkova , @RichterHedwig , @BenjaminHett and @nate_stoltzfus ) has produced a thought-provoking forum with @CentralEuropean that I recommend to everyone interested in the relationship between power and historiography. 1/2

There are 38 men (yes, I counted them) in the barbell area of this gym in Berlin — and I am the only woman. I’m benching close to my body weight, and creepy dudes are staring at me. Can’t wait to get back to my usual powerlifting gym in Richmond, which is not so dude-heavy.

Thanks to @ankahajkova for this thread contextualizing the reception of Gad Beck’s memoir and how it fits into queer history. My students always tell me that his memoir is one of the most meaningful texts we read in the semester, and it leads to great discussions.
