From 1860 to 1912, Democrats won the White House only twice, while losing the popular vote but winning the Electoral College two other times.

The country was intensely partisan and divided over tariffs and immigration. Sound familiar?

Hive mind, #histodons,

Do I know anyone who is an expert on marriage and divorce law especially as it affected women and their property in the 1920s in the UK? (Boosts appreciated.)

A new wave of research into genocide is overturning stories about victims going meekly to slaughter.

Resistance was frequent, both among the Armenians (against whom the Turks began a genocide #OTD in 1915) and among Jews during the Holocaust.

Teaching Holocaust education with film can transform history lessons in grades 6-12 into a moving experience that drives home the enormity of the genocide that took place during World War II.

For Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recommend our step-by-step teaching guide to make teaching about the Holocaust easy for teachers and a profound learning opportunity for students.

"In 1941, the Germans occupied our part of Poland, and life became a living hell. Every day a member of our family was taken away and we never saw them again."

For Holocaust Remembrance Day, we are sharing the story of Clara Haras Strahl's experience during the Holocaust. This oral history was transcribed from a videotape by her daughters Joanne Ashe and Pepi Strahl. Joanne is the President and Founder of Journeys in Film. 1/2

I intended to write up the #MysteryCoin and the #newsletter tonight.... (Do subscribe! https://coinofnote.com/newsletter/ ) - but then I decided to write up this #coin issued under the late Pope #Francis: https://coinofnote.com/2014-vatican-50-cents/

An interesting coin, the only standard circulating coin featuring the image of Pope Francis.

And a bit of a look at his life too. He was a good, & humble #Pope.

Heute vor 250 Jahren wurde der britische Maler #WilliamTurner geboren. Er bannte das Zusammenspiel von Licht, Technik & Bewegung in der Natur auf völlig neuartige Weise auf die Leinwand, wie auch sein Gemälde "#SlaveShip" (1840) zeigt. Ein Ausschnitt ziert das Cover unseres Doppelhefts #WerkstattGeschichte 66/67 (2015) mit dem Thementeil "europas sklaven", hg. v. Doris Bulach & Juliane Schiel:
