Thank you to @selbstzeugnisse.bsky.social for inviting me to participate on the workshop "Narrating the Past" yesterday! In the workshop I spoke about how the interview process of survivors can obscure or highlight the experiences of Jewish child survivors and Latin America as a region of refuge.

Puerto Rican service to the U.S. armed forces dates back to the Spanish-American War, after which Puerto Rico & other then-Spanish colonies were ceded to the United States in 1898. They have served in every war the U.S. military has been involved in since then.

Enseñar la historia del fascismo en tiempos de Trump | Letras Libres

Una clase sobre Hitler y Mussolini se ha convertido, para el historiador que la imparte, en una forma de reflexionar sobre el presente e intentar entender las amenazas que la democracia enfrenta.
