TFW a paragraph about names in a book on etymology puts a snippet of poetry you last read 30+ years ago into your head: "Es war einmal ein lattenzaun mit zwischenraum, hindurchzuschaun" (Bonus points for any who know why the poem always reminds me of Emo Philips😀) @bookstodon

Dear German colleagues of ! Can any one of you transcribe this passage from a letter of 1933? I know it says something along the lines of 'Jewish music will soon be banned, so better times for our German composers will arrive', but I would like to know the literal German text.

Mini-thread 🧵 Just wrapping up the Studies Association conference in beautiful Montreal (with less than beautiful weather)

I have to say: an overstuffed program with 32 (!) concurrent sessions, starting at 8 a.m. (!) is just idiotic: the laudable desire to include as many talks as possible (ppl need to give talks in order to get funding to travel) becomes counterproductive at some point. The fact that some panels on related topics were given the same time slot also makes no sense 😩 1/n

Our panel, on and its place in , was satisfying, though (see previous post), being put up against panels on related topics, especially when there are so many concurrent sessions, is frustrating.

Still, we had a good and lively conversation there (and afterward).

I presented some results from our new Routledge History of Antisemitism

@histodons @NMW

Critics' Reviews ~ “In a more just world, we would not need a book like this one. But in the broken, flawed, real world that we inhabit, the Routledge History of Antisemitism is both morally necessary and intellectually essential. With an impressive range of topics and contributors, this volume provides a sweeping survey of antisemitism over the millenia and around the globe, and it does so in a lucid and accessible way.” Prof. Samuel G. Freedman, Columbia Journalism School “A book published in the right time, relevant to a current troubling issue is always a welcome surprise. So is the Routledge History of Antisemitism, off the print in 2023, when antisemitism is on the rise worldwide and the depiction of a reliable picture is sorely needed. Holding 40 well-edited essays along 400 pages, this volume offers concise, up to date eye opening information, accompanied by analysis and insight, on a wide variety of topics, written by first rate experts, each representing his or her field of expertise. Needless to say, such a collection is indeed a most relevant contribution to any discussion of antisemitism nowadays.” Prof. Emerita Dina Porat, Chief historian of Yad Vashem, 2010-2021, The Alfred P. Slaner Chair in Antisemitism and Racism in Tel Aviv University
“A crucial contribution to the field spanning the full spectrum of time and geography of the world’'s most enduring hatred. From antiquity to Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party; from the Holocaust to Soviet antizionism; from the Middle East to the Baltic states; from the BDS to online hate: the tightly written essays in this volume are certain to prove an essential resource for educators, students and general public alike.” I1zabella Tabarovsky, Senior Advisor, Kennan Institute (Wilson Center)

Germany is holding off sending Taurus long-range precision missiles to Ukraine because of concerns they would require German technicians to operate on the ground, which some officials fear could drag Berlin closer to a direct confrontation with Russia. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/germany-stalling-long-range-cruise-missile-delivery-to-ukraine-66354f53

Cowardice of the highest degree. I didn't realize that soldiers enlist for the purpose of being safe and secluded.

(If their meaning is genuine then they could simply train Ukrainians to man these.)

I’ve been learning for about 7-8 months now and I continue to occasionally think in my second language (French) when trying to answer questions or form thoughts in German. It usually comes out as a mix of both languages.

I find it fascinating that my brain won’t try to answer these things in English, though.
