Welcome to Litsy!

I rarely cover vocab on here, but thought I would share a new word: #mugwumps #impeachment #socialstudies #vocab #timothynaftali #ushistory #history #teaching

So I like this quote because it reminds me of the Trump trials today. No matter what evidence is presented against Trump, his supporters will always find a way to rationalize it. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #psychology #politicalscience #ushistory #uspolitics #history

Great read! So interesting and I learned so much! I want everyone to read this! (18)

Loved this book and can‘t wait to discuss it with #NaturalLitsy

I know this is a bad idea, but I really want to go hug a bear right now.

This is a very short book, so I was able to finish listening in a few hours. I read the physical book several years ago and listening to it now had the same effect as then. I cried, I was angry and I was frustrated. What‘s going on in Israel and the West Bank is not much different (in my opinion) than what happened back then. The government of Israel is using a different means with the same goal. Extermination. #ceasefirenow

“Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.”

This the background for the HF novel The Dollhouse (nickname for the Barbizon Hotel) by Fiona Davis - the temporary home for the likes of Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath, Grace Kelly, Betsey Johnson, Eileen Ford models, and many more in the 1950s/60s.
