I am not a member of any targeted groups, and none of my ancestors even had any interaction with Nazi Germany. […]
Normally in this space, we address two types of issues: Events or publications that are directly connected with Center for White Rose Studies, or matters pertaining to the Holocaust (resistance, survivors, documentaries). Popular culture rarely rates the slightest mention. But the overt racism, homophobia, misogyny, and ageism that has pervaded this summer’s season of Big […]
