haven't been to #Winnipeg since the 90s despite my long roster of cousins living there, so I've never visited the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. But knowing what I do about its political trajectory, I'm actually pleased & impressed that they are doing a Nakba exhibit.

Es war uns eine große Freude, das multimediale Lexikon der Erinnerungen – an dem so viele Menschen aus Rothenklempenow und Umgebung beteiligt sind – erstmals vorzustellen. Die Ausstellung ist inzwischen wieder eingepackt, wird aber ab dem 10. Januar 2026 in der Torgalerie erneut zu sehen sein – und dort für mehrere Monate hängen. Besonders bewegt hat uns der wertschätzende Austausch über persönliche Erfahrungen in der Wendezeit im Erzählcafé. Er hat uns einmal mehr gezeigt, wie […]https://lexikon-der-erinnerungen.de/eroeffnung-am-2-11-2025-in-rothenklempenow/

And I don't remember if I posted this. It has already begun last week, but still interesting to know if you are interested in #yiddish and/or #OralHistory :
"This fall, the Other Music Academy (best known as the organizer of Yiddish Summer Weimar) invites intermediate Yiddish students to join The New Zamlers, a seven-session online workshop that connects Germany and the United States through storytelling. Inspired by the historic zamlers—volunteers who once gathered words, folklore, and everyday accounts for the Yiddish archives—participants will interview each other to collect and present contemporary Yiddish life stories. The course, led by Adrien Smith (University of Texas at Austin) and Jake Schneider (Berlin-based Yiddish activist and poet), combines language practice with oral history training, peer-to-peer interviews, and reading and discussions about present-day Yiddish culture and community.
All sessions will be conducted in Yiddish, appropriate for students who are able (or currently learning) to ask questions and express opinions on familiar topics. Over two months, participants will strengthen their speaking and listening skills, gain hands-on experience with oral history methods, and participate in the creation of new Yiddish narratives. As a final project, students will create short multimedia stories based on their interviews and share them in celebratory “watch parties.” Alongside developing language and research skills, the project offers the chance to build connections with fellow learners across the Atlantic and to think about how Yiddish is lived, reclaimed, and narrated today."

"It’s been seven years since the #synagogue shootings at #TreeofLife in #SquirrelHill on Oct. 27, 2018, an attack that killed 11 people from three different congregations on #Shabbat morning. And for all of those seven years, oral #historians Aliza Becker and Noah Schoen have been trying to make sense of the attack through #stories.
Over several years, Becker and Schoen have conducted more than 100 #oralhistory interviews with #Pittsburgh community members. The full collection is part of the "October 27 Archive," which is a project of the Rauh #Jewish Archives at the Heinz #History Center. And this week, a selection of six of those #interviews has been released as a new #podcast, called “October 27th Podcast.”

É com grande pesar que o IHC comunica o falecimento de Cristina Nogueira.
Investigadora do IHC desde há mais de uma década, faleceu no dia 10 de Outubro.
Empenhada cívica e politicamente, poucas pessoas souberam como ela, com a sua coragem, persistência e generosidade, articular investigação e acção cívica.
