My thoughts on the wonderful workshop organized by @BarnabasBalint and @char_lotte_gbs which I had the pleasure of participating!

[Dr Barnabas Balint @BarnabasBalint]

In the second of our series of blogs reflecting on the recent 'Animals and the Holocaust' workshop I organised with @char_lotte_gbs at @magdalenoxford, @RyanSun12 shares his thoughts.

Thank you to @GermanHistSoc for their generous support of the event.

Fantastic two days at @magdalenoxford observing the ‘Animals and the Holocaust’ workshop - amazed at the depth and breadth of research in this emerging field.
Congrats to @BarnabasBalint @char_lotte_gbs for a fascinating event

"The body bags would have alluded to genocide. Audiences would not be able to reduce the narrative to a singular loss, to an isolated, ahistorical moment of Orientalised grieving."

tfw reviewer 2 actually provides constructive criticism and is encouraging.

[Razven @RazvenHK]

The numbers written on the streets of Yuen Long show that no matter how the government tries to rewrite the narrative, people remember this day as a stain on the city's history.

[Cheuk Him Ryan Sun @RyanSun12]

@pragyakaul Awesome! But the real question is will you be reviewer 1 or reviewer 2? xD

@BarnabasBalint and I are so excited to share our NEW Call for Papers for our workshop 'Animals and the Holocaust'!

Hosted @UniofOxford in early July✨
🗓️Applications due April 22, 2024

[Gina Anne Tam 譚吉娜 @DGTam86]

As many people have noted, Cantonese is a thriving language, subway announcements are in English, Mandarin AND Cantonese in Hong Kong, and this is an extremely strange way to measure the significance of a language in any city. But let me make one more point... (1/1)

[Cheuk Him Ryan Sun @RyanSun12]

@maranhao_tiago @BeilinsonOrel @JohannaMellis You can also add Mindanao and Hainan Island to that map.

[Florence Mok @mok_florence]

The book chapter written by me and @MarkHamptonHK is finally out! If you are interested in getting a copy, let me know. Alternatively, you can order the book, Memory and Modern British Politics: Commemoration, Tradition, Legacy, using the following link :

Call for papers - Mapping the Holocaust

We're excited to launch this new call for papers today, for a workshop at @ihr_history on mapping the Holocaust with @OCHJSnews @HCRInstitute @Davis_Cailee @Niamh_Hanrahan.

@TurkishAirlines absolutely unprofessional behaviour! Please fix this asap!

[Fatima Afzal @fatimaafzaldar]

@TK_HelpDesk @TurkishAirlines I have had the most infuriating experience with Turkish Airlines. Got to the airport to find out that the flight I was supposed to be on doesn't have me registered even though I had the Turkish-issued ticket (it was operated by a different carrier),

[Mary Hui @maryhui]

Very rough translation of《我們的時代》"Our Time" (or "Our Era"), a short story with dystopian undertones that the Hong Kong national security police demanded be taken down from the @gongjyuhok site.

[Cheuk Him Ryan Sun @RyanSun12]

I definitely liked 'This War of Mine' and the narrative it constructed. Video games do have a role in public history. But this "refugee camp building and management game" reeeally doesn't seem like it would have the nuance and sensitivity that one would hope.
