Antisemitism has been on the rise and is something we have to take seriously and combat. But if we let the media get away with framing the existence of Palestinians and discussions of their treatment as antisemitism, we face a much harder task.

I actually think it's useful to unpack the "why". There's actual reasons why the U.S. is willing to memorialize/educate about certain events and not others. It doesn't diminish the importance of Holocaust education to address this (and I say this as a Holocaust educator)

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I think if you’re a Holocaust educator, you need to be prepared to address this question and not just dismiss it as offensive out of hand - if it comes from a student, that is. It’s very different if this comes from a politician, of course.

I've been emotionally fine through our first six genocide case studies, but prepping for Rwanda tomorrow (a genocide I've taught 2x before) and I just burst into tears. I think it's starting to weigh on me.

I made cookies for my students & colleagues. Do they look like a child made them? Yes. Did I make them with love? Absolutely.

Yes, the threats from outside academia are serious. But being on the job for the past year & a half has taught me that some of the biggest threats come from within. How can the academic community survive when predators and their protectors are never held responsible?

TW: suicide That piece floating around about historians and trauma really hit home for me. A couple of years ago, I became friends with a historian I deeply admired. She was THE figure of Jewish/Holocaust studies in NL. I immediately connected with her and what she stood for.

We found out today that Kiki, our first family cat, has cancer and its spread throughout his body. He found us as a kitten and I insisted we take him inside and he's been a part of our family for 12 years. I'm just heartbroken.

Debating historical analogies or making sweeping statements about 20th c. European history is not what needs to be done now.

1/ Today, my Holocaust class discussed what I consider 1 of the most important Qs of the semester: should we engage with atrocity photos? & if so, how? I chose a few quotes from Sontag's Regarding the Pain of Others & asked them to respond to one to kick off the discussion.
