Question for my Bluesky historian friends: how do you prepare for doing presentations? I’m no longer able to memorize large amounts of information (because old) so I can’t memorize my talk, but have you any other tips or tricks you use to prepare?

“There will be no political speeches at all,” said Piotr Cywiński, director of the Auschwitz Memorial, in an interview with the Guardian.

Read the article by Shaun Walker in the Guardian:
Speeches by politicians banned at 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation
Director of the memorial says he wants the focus to be on the last survivors of the Nazi concentration camp

#OTD in 1897, Baruch Steinberg, the Chief Rabbi of the Polish Army, was born in Przemyślanych (currently in Ukraine).
His Polish-Jewish family came from a long line of rabbinical traditions, and he was ordained during the First World War, about the same time his family moved to Vienna.

Today’s article is live and it’s all about how America declaring war in 1917 made victory impossible for Germany and her allies…

That's so bloody wrong
A friend of mine, who is female, has just been dropped from a well known battlefield tour company, because one of the older male ‘experts’ doesn’t like her because she actually knows what she’s talking about.

I am so pissed off. Every time I think we’re getting better, someone proves we’re not.

#OTD in 1943, 644 men on USS Liscome Bay (CVE-56) were lost when the escort carrier was torpedoed. It was the largest loss of life in the sinking of a U.S. carrier. Among those killed was Dorie Miller who had been awarded the Navy Cross for his actions at Pearl Harbor.

FOLLOW ALERT: military historian @alexchurchill.bsky.social is on #bluesky and runs one of the most fascinating #substacks, which offers articles, podcasts, and photos on a wide-range of historical topics! She's also an incredibly supportive person, always lifting others up. Show her some love!
Todays article constitutes the academic struggles of one maths nerd whose greatness nobody recognised, plus the plight of a lot of angry young men in France in the 1830s… and how all of this almost equals the back story to Les Misérables
