Historian of American responses to the Holocaust, author of "Rescue Board" (Doubleday, 2018). Love cats, books, TV, travel, teachers, fighting for a better world. Opinions mine.
I worked on his Holocaust film, and know some of the historians from this one--as far as I can tell, all of the scholars in the recent decade are supportive. The criticism might be valid vis-a-vis the early ones, but of any doc team I've worked with, they were the most dedicated to getting it right

You definitely have a point with Civil War, but I worked on their Holocaust film from 2022, and have never met a team more insistent on accuracy. It was truly impressive, and I'd give their more recent stuff a try.

There are issues we can compromise on! But if you let bigots into the “big tent” you’re actually shrinking it because you’ve just told whole demographics that they’re not really welcome.

My springform only fits half the amount as well, and it's delicious with 12 plum halves, which is how I do it. The batter does rise a surprising amount, considering how little there is, so if you do want to overlap your plums, you're probably fine.

I feel like the newsletter needs a deep dive on that specific sandwich. Who knew the police would be so deli-cate?

That photo of those people pointing at a sign celebrating the time when alligators will tear into human flesh reminded me of this photo (which I’ve cropped) of the 1930 lynching that inspired the song “Strange Fruit.” The man with the tattoo is pointing to a person who he’s just helped murder.
