Fascinating podcast from BBC World Service, looking at Dolores Ibárruri, nicknamed La Pasionaria, whose catchprase ¡No Pasarán!' ('They shall not pass') became the battle cry of the Republicans.

Had a great afternoon taking a small but keen group of @llc-rhul.bsky.social students to the Holocaust Galleries at the Imperial War Museum in London. It’s such an impressive exhibition. We also liked the section of Berlin Wall!

A very cool world record. Which books are the record-holders in other languages? In German it is - we think - Grimms' Fairy Tales (but nowhere near 600 translations).

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

"There are good reasons for arguing that for the Jews, especially the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe, the Holocaust definitively closed that era when notions of emancipation, religious tolerance, Jewish social and political progress, and civic acceptance came to an end"

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!
