repost for @ChrisBohjalian

I am deeply alarmed by the state of the U.S. Many of you are, too. So, let‘s learn about fascism — a book club, perhaps. But, if nothing else, book suggestions. Let‘s start with WHAT WE KNEW: TERROR, MASS MURDER, AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN NAZI GERMANY.

Dilara The hashtag #readingispolitical might also be of interest.
I've been reading a lot of non-fiction about fascism, nazism and authoritarianism in the last couple of years, but not in English and not necessarily of direct interest to US readers, so I'll probably lurk rather than participate...

“Every witness is unique,a living protest of sorts against the abject annihilation of the memory of his assassinated Jewish neighbors”(145).Why have I read this month 3 books addressing the holocaust,1 through a photograph,a 2nd,historical fiction following a real child,& this one, through bullets? I think I am seeing so many parallels to our president‘s attempt to turn this country into a dictatorship-I need the concrete.#MondayMood 🤬😡😢😭

Deblovestoread So important! Stacking. 1mo
Butterfinger Yes, and it is so easy to become depressed because you feel so impotent about the past. We can do something now. Keep sharing about the past and speaking up about today's injustices. I hope you read something light. The photograph still haunts me. I remember when Lisa Kudrow found out about her father's Jewish family. They had all been murdered in a mass grave. I can't remember if it was Ukraine or Poland. There was a memorial. 1mo
Butterfinger I never thought till today that these precious people should be exhumed and given a respectful burial. I need to read this book. We need to honor by reading about each soul. Do you follow The Beloved Children of the Holocaust? 1mo
kspenmoll @Butterfinger I will look into The Beloved Children. 1mo
