Find Me On:

How can we ensure the stories we talk about history are accurate to the past?
I attempted to answer this question yesterday in my talk with @pintsofknowledge called: “Fact in Fiction: A Jewish Soldier in the Wehrmacht”
Join me on Monday, October 5 for a talk with @pintsofknowledge at @sambrooksbrew! Ticket link in bio
Note about the graphic: This presentation focuses on Jewish and part-Jewish soldiers in the Wehrmacht. Contrary to what the flag inside the helmet may suggest, my subject is not connected to Israel.
