A reminder that I mostly left Twitter because I was getting so relentlessly sexually harassed on there that I basically couldn't do anything anymore & there are a group of women who all have similar experiences and we all talk about it with each other! This stuff sucks so much!

Thank you to @selbstzeugnisse.bsky.social for inviting me to participate on the workshop "Narrating the Past" yesterday! In the workshop I spoke about how the interview process of survivors can obscure or highlight the experiences of Jewish child survivors and Latin America as a region of refuge.

Puerto Rican service to the U.S. armed forces dates back to the Spanish-American War, after which Puerto Rico & other then-Spanish colonies were ceded to the United States in 1898. They have served in every war the U.S. military has been involved in since then.
