Growing up, @RhetoricUCB PhD candidate & author @lindakinstler knew her Latvian grandfather mysteriously disappeared after WWII. When she discovered what happened years later, it was too big for her to walk away. #BerkeleyVoices #podcast bit.ly/3q3gRYl

In August 1941, seven-year-old Ruth Engelhardt boarded a ship in Lisbon for the United States. She was one of more than 300 refugee children the US Committee for the Care of European Children brought to America between 1940 and 1945. 📷: @Magnes exhibitions.ushmm.org/americ…

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Roman Vishniac's photos of prewar Jewish life provided a glimpse of a world that had been destroyed. Little is known about the individuals featured in some of his most iconic images. 📷: @Magnes #WorldPhotographyDay

I had another curator joke, but the exhibition team said it was too long, the conservator said I should have told them it 6months ago & the museum friends group said the one my predecessor told in 1993 was funnier. It did not occur to me to ask the front of house team's opinion.
