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.

"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."

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)

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.

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.
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.
A German internee was paroled to check into a hospital for health reasons. Later, his Eurasian wife sneaks him out of the colony.
And hk colonial officials really did sugarcoat this event by listing the incident under the 'permitted to leave the colony' heading 😆
Singapore's database of old newspapers is so smooth and easy to use. Not like Hong Kong's old newspaper database, which is clunky and slow (and probably underfunded).
