After resting for two months in bicarb of soda, it’s time for the smell test. And it is looking good - time to clean the book a bit more and then it can join my collection. Love how endpaper illustrations shine through. #picturebooks #booksmell #restoration #hebrewpublishingcompany

Book repair Saturday: After getting lost in transit twice, Monsieur Marceau by Schubert and Dubois (2012) finally made it onto my desk and into my collection. In very good condition, except for the cover which had some damage. I tried my best ... #bookrepair #picturebook #restisance #Holocaust

My last lecture was on framing the narrative in visual Holocaust children’s lit. A task for students which combines visual literacy and establishing context. Letter ‘M’ from ‘abc.de’ by Iwona Chmielewska. #ELT #GCED #GCE #appliedlinguistics #visual #EDsky

Back from a week in the South of France. Returned with essential #French #food (according to daughters)…

Another book for my collection arrived today. Classification or categorization of visual #Holocaust children’s literature varies tremendously. Some books I simply stumble across, like this picture book about Madame Tannenbaum. #edusky #picturebooks #childrensliterature

And two books arrived today to help me prepare for the new course I am teaching in April at TUBS. Excellent used-like-new copy of Halbey’s publication from 1997. Have not read any of his work so looking forward to his thoughts on ‘In the Night Kitchen’ #kidlit #Bilderbuch #Jugendliteratur

Now here is an interesting #publication & #exhibition, especially if like me you grew up in a Kaff in Bavaria. Info @ #Jewish #Museum #Augsburg. To end this post, honouring the memory of a family friend who was deeply connected to Augsburg: #Rabbi Dr. Henry G. Brandt jmaugsburg.de/en/memories-...

3rd book in my collection on #JellaLepman arrived yesterday: Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams by Paterson and Deng. By far the most extensive one of the three with around 100 pages. Hybrid longform picturebook and illustrated book. Love how Deng combined art with archival material. #kidlit

From my collection: "On the eve of the Festival of #Purim, a grandmother tells her granddaughter how, as a little girl, she heard the story of #QueenEsther from her family rabbi. This was in 1939, in Nazi-occupied Vienna, on the eve of WWII." @tradewindbooks.bsky.social

New to my collection by the incredible #IwonaChmielewska. Seems I got the Polish edition instead of ‘Comme il est difficile d’être roi’.Check the ‘double’ endpapers making the comparison to stage-curtains so obvious. If you see her ‘abc.de’ - buy! Love B for Brücke #ErnstLudwigKirchner #literature
