Izlasīju Lāsmas Gaitnieces rakstus par pilotes Valdas Ošs traģisko dzīvi - no bēgļu gaitām līdz Austrālijai, kur bija jācīnās pret diskrimināciju aviacijā. Latviski - “Kas Jauns” (https://t.co/boYUsjMZOw); angliski - jāsameklē laikraksta “Laiks” 29. jūlija numuru.

After years of on-and-off research, I am putting a cap on a project to find the stories of the 72 members of the Philadelphia Latvian Baptist Youth Society shown on a 1916 postcard. The results: https://t.co/B88cASnytH. More on the project: https://t.co/i0hOj1iek4.

Delta pilot, before takeoff: "Little bit of rough air, on and off, most of the way." Welcome to the Turbulence Express. ✈️🤦‍♂️

1920. gadā Filadelfijas latviešu palīdzības biedrības delegācija apmeklēja Brīvības zvanu un pēc tam izdeva šo pastkarti, lūdzot no ASV valdības Latvijas atzīšanu de iure.

A valuable tool showing the places and names of people deported by the Soviets in the 1941 and 1949 deportations. The maps are an important historical record, while also showing the horrific and extensive scope of these atrocities.

Dzirdēts Rīgā: "Es esmu kečupa heiteris."

[Andris Straumanis @straumanis]

Here in the Āgenskalns neighborhood of Rīga, I didn't need a TV or radio to know how the Latvia-U.S. bronze medal hockey game was going. Shouts of joy from a gathering nearby plus the kids across the street chanting "Lat-vi-ja!" told the story. 🇱🇻

Pasaulē ir daudz vietu ar Rīgas nosaukumu, liecina vietvārdu projekts "https://t.co/6FD35lUCwf", ko vācu pētnieki publicēja decembrī. Vietvārdu meklētājs arī palīdz uzzināt kā šodien sauc Goldingen, Rositten, Schwaneburg utt. Sīkāk: https://t.co/uuG88wpVgq.
