[Thread of [Threads]] As many other #Twitterstorians have done, here is a compilation of my threads. And, since @KevinMKruse has upped the ante, I have tried to organize them in some meaningful way. Hopefully they will be of interest to some!

How do Holocaust museums deal with traumatic material? How do we teach about this difficult topic with care and nuance, considering different audiences? On this episode, I talk with Julie J. Golding about this challenging subject. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

On the latest episode of the Holocaust History Podcast, I talked with Laura Jockusch about the fascinating phenomenon of Jewish revenge during and after the Holocaust. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

What is the truth behind the Nazi obsession with the occult? In this episode, I talked with Eric Kurlander about the Nazi pursuit of the supernatural, what it says about the Third Reich, and how it impacted the Nazi genocidal project. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

What role did Polish mayors in enabling the Nazi occupation and the Holocaust? How do we investigate this difficult history? On the latest episode, I talk with Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe about his important work on this topic. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

@ADyplomata @HolocaustPod I see all the Polish nationalists are coming to the thread.

I did not forget it. That is why you could read that. It does not change anything. Rossoliński-Liebe writes that Jews were perpetrators. If it is ok for you, you have a big problem with unterstanding what the war and occupation was like. It is a #VictimBlaming. And the main motive was simular for the most of human beings - fear.

NEW on the @holocaustpod: A sobering lesson that justice must be continually reinforced or it fades.

Have you heard about the Janowska camp before? It was an incredibly important place and one which exemplifies almost all elements of the Holocaust. Check out the latest episode starring...your host and Holocaust scholar Doris Bergen. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

What IS a concentration camp? Where did the concept come from? How does the history of concentration camps inform our understanding of them (past and present)? These are just some of the questions we covered in this episode! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

In this episode, we go back to Babi Yar, the largest open-air shooting of the Holocaust which took place in Kyiv in September 1941. I talked with Victoria Khiterer about the massacre, bystanders, and the incredible struggle to commemorate this event. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

In this episode, I talked with Carolyn Dean about witnessing the Holocaust and empathy. We had a wide-ranging conversaion about the appropriate use of images and also about bystanding and the challenge of indifference. A LOT to think about! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

On this episode, I talked with Prof. Hájková about her remarkable book on queer Jewish lives during the Holocaust. We had a great discussion about the challenges and complexities of queering the Holocaust and what it teaches us. Check it out! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

If you ever needed more documentary proof that Dort here just isn't very smart, well, here it is.

How did women experience the Holocaust differently than men? And how does a gendered approach help us to better understand the past? On the latest episode, I talk with Elissa Bemporad about her work on Jewish women and the Holocaust. thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/episod…

I've got a great episode of the @HolocaustPod to start off 2026. Topic: German Military Chaplains and the Holocaust
