Historian—among other things
I had a great time at NCHC (national honors conference). San Diego was great, and my panel went well. Now just trying to get home!

It has been a wonderful week of research. Thank you @holocaustmuseum for the BAI grant that made it possible.

Happy 2 year anniversary of the publication of my Eisenhower & the Holocaust book. Increasingly timely and topical. You can get a copy for yourself at all the usual places.

And thank you to my awesome editor @rabeari.bsky.social and @dgb-history.bsky.social for making it happen!

Started my day by giving a little talk at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church.

Not only did I learn earlier this week that I’d be back at the Indiana Historical Society’s Holiday book fair in December (and yes, Eisenhower & the Holocaust will be on sale) BUT I also signed a contract to write my next book with the IHS as well! I’m very excited about both these developments!

My friend Matt, who is currently doing a fellowship at the USHMM, sent me this. The book has made it where the idea was born! @rabeari.bsky.social @dgb-history.bsky.social @degruyterbrill.bsky.social

A big thank you to Tina for the shout out about my Eisenhower & the Holocaust book. In addition to having great taste in books, she is also an awesome, amazing tour guide!

Just confirmed another Eisenhower & the Holocaust talk! If anyone needs a speaker for this Fall or Spring, send me a message.

Last month I spoke to a TOLI workshop about Eisenhower & the Holocaust. In the mail today was a thank you card —signed by all the participants (over 30 educators)! Totally made my day.

Not only is my Eisenhower & the Holocaust book now available to order (via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my publisher DeGruyter etc), but Amazon currently has the Kindle version marked down to $20 — which is about $2 below the paperback cost!

The wait is over! You can now get a paperback copy of my book on Eisenhower & the Holocaust wherever you buy/order books!

Very big thank you to my awesome editor @rabeari.bsky.social and publisher @degruyterbrill.bsky.social

Had a great time talking about Eisenhower & the Holocaust with the New York Military Affairs Symposium. Nice turnout and great Q & A!

It was an honor and a privilege to talk with a TOLI group of educators about Eisenhower & the Holocaust today. They represent 20 states and are learning ways to incorporate Holocaust education into their classrooms…and they had some great questions!

At the Allied Museum, I was honored to give a presentation on Eisenhower & the Holocaust as the guest speaker of the Berlin Historical Association. Special bonus, the students sat with BHA members at the post-talk reception and had great conversations.

I’ve arrived in Abilene and can’t wait to talk about Eisenhower & the Holocaust tomorrow.

Got to speak about Eisenhower & the Holocaust today at Vincennes University. A big thank you to everyone who came out and to those who watched on Zoom.

80 years ago today elements of the 89th Inf. and 4th Armored Div. liberated Ohrdruf. About a week later, Ike visited the camp and the decisions he made changed the course of the war and the peace that followed. In 3 weeks, I’ll be talking about such things at the Eisenhower Presidential Library.

One week from today I will be speaking at Vincennes University on Eisenhower & the Holocaust.

Between now and mid-June I have nearly a dozen speaking engagements on Eisenhower & the Holocaust! I can’t wait to hit the road (and the WiFi) to talk about why 80 years later what Ike saw at Ohrdruf, and the camps & people the Allies liberated, still matters.
