@Frau_Mensch Es ist gut, dass sich Organisationen darum kümmern, diese Geschichten ans Tageslicht zu holen. In #SchleswigHolstein hat der Landtag mehrere Studien zu Kontinuitäten, in Landtags, Verwaltung und Justiz beauftragt. Dadurch, dass hier die letzte Reichsregierung saß, sind viele Nazis hierher geflohen und haben nach der NS-Diktatur ein gutes Leben geführt. Der "Henker von Warschau" wurde sogar von den Leuten in den Landtag gewählt.
Israeli historian Ilan Pappe was targeted by US CBP this week. They took his phone & asked him questions like did he believe Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians, &if he had any Palestinian friends.
My first reaction was that CBP doesn't know the first thing about Israeli historians, & likely Israel's govt told the US to target him. Turns out Pappe believes Israel's govt was involved.
Extraordinarily proud to have been the editor on this book. The author is a wonderful soul and her deep dive into the lives of her mother and father really resonate. It was an honor and a privilege.

"Montrer les collections médiévales" -> on attend vos réflexions sur la façon d'exposer les œuvres du Moyen Âge, sur les discours induits par les expositions, les collections des œuvres de la période, etc.
One of this city's most haunting #monuments isn't even particular monumental: An unsuspicious window in the middle of #Berlin’s Bebelplatz (former #Opernplatz) - bookshelves in the ground.
Empty bookshelves.
Commemorating the #BookBurning which took place right here #OnThisDay, May 10th in 1933.
In a donor list to an early 17thc convent, all the men (so far, only men!) are named & their titles given, & then the thing that they paid for is listed. One didn't just give money to the project; donors want their name on this window, that door, this meaningful space within the edifice.
And in my monastic chronicle, men evidently pay for things, while women pay more often for prayers and services. (This is ca. 1606-7)
Not entirely, of course: one of the women pays for a window, and two others for specific door-latches. ("I scrimped and saved and paid for this lock and key, look at me!")
Also, you could be a servant and still help fund the monastery.
I’ve been given the Janet Arnold Award by the Society of Antiquaries to recreate clothing described in the Tudor song, Greensleeves.
Really excited to be working on this project with a team of superb costume historians.
Among other things, there will be a video to come in the future, and a book about Greensleeves & early modern clothing in music and song, but in the meantime, here is our recording of the words and music… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pej-PqWDJ4U&ab_channel=Passamezzo
after transcribing text in 18th century German dialect for a month, I have lost all capacity for detecting whether or not something in modern German is spelled correctly or not.
Weil Peter Richter heute in der SZ wieder Kluges zum fortgesetzten Abriss von DDR-Moderne in Berlin am Beispiel des geplanten Abriss des SEZ schreibt: was liest man denn, wenn man sich für die Geschichte des Bauens/Städtebau in Ostberlin interessiert? Also eher aus der Perspektive Kultur-und Wirtschaftsgeschichte als reine Architekturgeschichte.
