@sebastianschroeder@histodons Wäre sicher gut das demnächst nur noch an Themenabenden mit historischer Einordnung zu senden. Dramaturgisch etc. waren die Nazi-Filme oft erschreckend gut. Und interessant auch, was im Kino dann doch so alles "durchging". Zara Leander's und Johannes Heesters' Leinwandcharaktere waren nicht gerade "brave Deutsche", sondern eigentlich zu hedonistisch und sexy. Manchmal brauchte vielleicht sogar das NS Regime eine Ablenkung von den eigenen Idealen?
@sebastianschroeder@histodons PS: Davon, die Filme gar nicht mehr zu zeigen, halte ich nicht viel. Ich fand es als Schülerin/Studentin schwierig, dass viel über "Nazi Propaganda" gesprochen wurde, dass man sich aber kein Bild machen konnte. Erst später konnte ich "Die Goldene Stadt" etc. sehen & besser verstehen, was den NS Film ausmachte. Ich war auch für die kritische Edition von "Mein Kampf" dankbar. Neonazis kommen an verbotenes Material auf eigenen Wegen: Internet & Flohmarkt im Ausland.
"a conversation to help teachers, at the K–12 & college levels, develop strategies to teach the #Palestine – #Israel conflict & many of the attendant sensitive historical topics it entails. It might seem that this history is a minefield worth avoiding, but thoughtful & engaged teachers have been teaching such difficult topics in a civil & empathetic way for decades"

Noch immer eine meiner Lieblingsanekdoten über Engels:
"An einem wunderbaren Tage am Menaikanal in Bangor wurde [Friedrich Engels] sentimental und stimmte plötzlich mit seiner scharfen Diskantstimme in den falschesten Tönen "Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten" an. Wir stürzten entsetzt mit dem Ruf meines Freundes "Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt Euch," auf ihn zu und brachten ihn mit einer über seinen dicken Schnauzbart von hinten geworfenen Serviette zum Schweigen."
Neue Biografie von Daniel #Meishttps://www.hi.uni-stuttgart.de/institut/team/Meis/ über Hamburgs „Führer“, NS-Gauleiter und „Reichsstatthalter“ Karl #Kaufmann, fällt zurück auf den Stand der Historiographie in den 1950er-Jahren: Der Obernazi als „Idealist und Ehrenmann“.
Ein Buch, „das so besser nie geschrieben worden wäre“, meint Olaf Wunder.
„Karl Kaufmann war die entscheidende Person im nationalsozialistischen Hamburg: Seine Herrschaft war einzigartig und bildete mit Vorläufern aus dem Saarland die Grundlage für die ab 1938 annektierten Gebiete. Durch seine Herrschaft lässt sich ein Blick auf die Planungen für das Reich werfen, die sich kriegsbedingt immer wieder verschoben. […]“
Shortly after the publication of the infamous Balfour Declaration, the so called “Zionist Commission for Palestine” visited #Palestine. Chaim Weizmann was clearly worried the Palestinians were not quite impressed, and made the following request to make it clearer things are going to change in the near future:
"...[But] we find among the Arabs and Syrians, or certain sections of them, a state of mind which seems to us to make useful negotiations impossible at the present moment, and so far as we are aware – though here our information may be incomplete – no official steps have been taken to bring home to the Arabs and Syrians the fact that His Majesty’s Government has expressed a definite policy with regard to the future of the Jews in Palestine”
Military Governor Colonel Ronald Storrs replied:
“Speaking myself as a convinced #Zionist, I cannot help thinking that the Commission are lacking in a sense of the dramatic actuality. #Palestine, up to now a Moslem country, has fallen into the hands of a Christian Power which on the eve of its conquest announced that a considerable portion of its land is to be handed over for #colonization purposes to a nowhere very popular people. The dispatch of a Commission of these people is subsequently announced … From the announcement in the British press until this moment there has been no sign of a hostile demonstration public or private against a project which if we may imagine England for Palestine can hardly open for the inhabitants the beatific vision of a new heaven and a new earth. The Commission was warned in Cairo of the numerous and grave misconceptions with which their enterprise was regarded and strongly advised to make a public pronouncement to put an end to those misconceptions. No such pronouncement has yet been made; …”

Military Governor Colonel Ronald Storrs saying that Palestine was "up to now a Moslem country" is a rather embarrassing historical oversight, since the Jews had lived alongside pre-Islamic polytheistic groups in the region of Palestine for 2000 years before Islam came into existence with Muhammed.
@oatmeal@histodons@israel@palestine Quite a choice bit about the British admitting the Zionists for colonizing the land. Puts paid to the whole “it’s not colonialism” BS right out the gate.
The most recent Brookings Survey of American Attitudes has some interesting data for @histodons.
Asked whether “We should teach our children both the good and bad aspects of our history so that they can learn from the past,” 94% of respondents answered positively.
The book ban people, the Moms for Liberty types, the anti-CRT clique is minuscule and WAY out of touch with the cultural mainstream.
@xankarn@histodons I think it's probably right that those people are way less common than their visibility suggests, but it's not hard for me to imagine them answering YES to that question.
Can anyone recommend some good history books describing resistance movements within fascism? For example how was the resistance successful during WWII. I fear we may need these skill in the too near future. #fascism#resistance#history@histodons
"Non loin du "cimetière italien" des Crottes (1784-1905) découvert en 2013, des fouilles archéologiques mettent au jour cette fois des traces d'occupation depuis le XVIIe (église, moulin, bâti moderne) sur le site du futur campus Theodora, avenue du capitaine Gèze" par D.Coquille (La Marseillaise) #Marseille#archeology#archeologie#histoire@histodons
@cpolitic@histodons je pense qu’une fois la fouille et les relevés effectués le chantier reprendra. Vu lieu, je pense que cela a même dû être anticipé pour le planning. Les archéologues devaient fortement se douter d’y trouver un site de fouille.
@historyshapes@histodons Not the first time I toast bread to make a sandwich and I eat the bread instead. So, eating bread with bread (which, as an Spanish idiom says, is "fools' meal") seems delicious to me...
'Killers of the Flower Moon' delves into racial and family dynamics that rocked Oklahoma to the core when oil was discovered on Osage lands. White settlers targeted members of the Osage Nation to steal their land and the riches beneath it. But from a historical perspective, this crime is just the tip of the iceberg.
Same-sex relationships and gender beyond a strict cisgender binary was more common in ancient Greece and Rome than many people today assume, if we look at the surviving writings 🏳️🌈
@TheConversationUS@histodons
"The concept of homosexuality as a distinct sexual orientation or distinct kind of behavior did not exist."
Hell, it didn't exist until the late 19th century. It had been demonised, then it was pathologised through the first half of the 20th century.
Even your term "LGBTQI-like" tends to impose our thinking on it. They were who they were and they did what they did, and maybe things like honour, virtue, valour and status were more salient than sex and gender to them.
Until the mid-20th century Corinthians was more than likely pedastery. Leviticus the jury's out a bit but picking the words either (again) pedastery bit more likely incest. Like, don't sleep with your brother either.
@bojacobs@histodons I'm assuming you know about how apparently metal that was forged before nuclear testing is a hot commodity for scientific instruments.
@Legit_Spaghetti@histodons
Absolutely. One key early source of this pre-contamination metal was World War One German naval vessels that had been scuttled off the coast of Scotland in the 1920s.
