My library hold came in today. Sadly enough Ruth Hargrove wrote this in 2020 during the first Trump administration. She was trying to stop deportations of some Cameroonians because they would probably be killed” if returned to their country in the midst of a brutal evil conflict”(8). #ranttime

Pickpick

The book is based on a photograph brought to the Holocaust Museum in DC. There were so many important & sad points made throughout the book. There are so many people & families that were murdered that historians feel that they still don‘t have the full story. That there has been so much whitewashing & pushback on researchers. Making it difficult to access archives or digger further into the past. My grandmothers family left Poland in the early

ncsufoxes 1900s. My grandmother was born in the US but her older sister was born in Poland. My mom doesn‘t even know what village they came from. We think they possibly were somewhere near what is now Ukraine. They were Catholic & we understand that something must have prompted them to leave Poland. My mom said her grandparents never spoke English & they never discussed where they were from. I am always trying to find more answers to this puzzle. 1d
TheBookHippie I hope you find answers. This book was so good. 23h
ncsufoxes @TheBookHippie my mom has decided to take a genealogy class to see what she can learn. I‘ve also suggested that she get a copy of her mom‘s birth certificate to see if it lists where her parents were born. Her dad is from Ireland & she had requested a copy of his birth certificate from Ireland (her, my sisters & I are working on our dual citizenship). She knows she has family in Ireland but she wonders if anyone survived in Poland. 23h
TheBookHippie @ncsufoxes hardly any Jewish people did, I heard Catholics were lost in big numbers too -but I can‘t recollect if was from hiding Jews or just resisting in general, or both. It will be interesting what she learns. 23h

Mehso-so

I can‘t say I wasn‘t warned. The above sentence appears in the introduction. While the methodology of the surveys is important for academics and the differences in interpretation of the data by the 2 authors points to some issues, this book is not readable. And it doesn‘t offer me any ideas on how to safely resist. How anyone can make such horror so dry is beyond me. The information is good, but if you put people to sleep they won‘t absorb it.

repost for @ChrisBohjalian

I am deeply alarmed by the state of the U.S. Many of you are, too. So, let‘s learn about fascism — a book club, perhaps. But, if nothing else, book suggestions. Let‘s start with WHAT WE KNEW: TERROR, MASS MURDER, AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN NAZI GERMANY.

Dilara The hashtag #readingispolitical might also be of interest.
I've been reading a lot of non-fiction about fascism, nazism and authoritarianism in the last couple of years, but not in English and not necessarily of direct interest to US readers, so I'll probably lurk rather than participate...
