On the anniversary of the Night of the Long Knives, we want to highlight our resources for teaching about the Holocaust.

Our comprehensive toolkit for teaching Holocaust Education with film walks educators through preparing, teaching, and wrapping up Holocaust Education classes.

Like all of our resources, this is free for everyone.

I got this email today recommending the book "Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II" and it sounds like something many here might enjoy.

However I have not read it myself.

I thought the 2 comments before the book synopsis were interesting and worth sharing along w/ the synopsis.

1/

I’m listening to “Secret History of World War II, The: Spies, Code Breakers, and Covert Operations,” by Neil Kagan and
Stephen G. Hyslop, which is free with my #Audible membership until December 31st. Excellent book with a lot of information I had never learned about before, including intelligence leaks by the Allied forces that could’ve truly been catastrophic had they been exploited. #History #MilitaryHistory #MilitaryIntelligence #SIGINT #MilitaryCommunications #WWIIhistory #AudibleBooks

‘Where The Love Light Gleams (Or: Christmas as Ritualized Trauma)’
 
'I'll Be Home for Christmas' and similar ballads share a common origin that explains why they're so good at helping us exorcise personal and cultural grief at the holidays.

Dr. Mark Baldwin holds a talk on the Enigma machine in the museum

An exhibition showcasing the original Enigma, which played a significant role in shaping the fate of World War II, and a lesser-known innocent children's typewriter, Barbie, manufactured in Slovenia.

At 12:01am on the 14th of March 1941, which is 83 years ago tonight, 110 people were killed when a parachute mine was dropped by a German bomber on Nelson Street in the Tradeston area of Glasgow, near this junction with Centre Street. This was around 10% of all the fatalities in what is now known as the Clydebank Blitz.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for my first Livestream Sunday! We read "Germania" by Tacitus, as well as the intro to "A Most Dangerous Book: Tacitus' Germania from the Roman Empire to the Third Reich." We had some great discussions about how fascism depends on the construction and mythologization of an imagined past, and about how Tacitus' writing reflects the cultural chauvinism of ancient Rome. we are going to meet every Sunday at 8 PM Eastern (5 PM Pacific) to continue reading and discussion!
