This is remarkable: yesterday morning, more than 140 renowned professors w/ a focus on Holocaust and genocide studies published an open letter in @nybooks agreeing with Congresswoman @AOC calling detention centers "concentration camps". It's now at 375: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/07/01/an-open-letter-to-the-director-of-the-holocaust-memorial-museum/?fbclid=IwAR1stJ7uBkl2QeYH-lDgKaHeAlajBOQfae9YWAKxrOAvXSj5B_Ra2AMtN-k …pic.twitter.com/OiySRjiPyi

This list has been described by one scholar as "a literal who's who of Holocaust and genocide studies" and said they were proud to be a signatory.

It's worth noting that Holocaust and genocide studies can be folded into other fields rather than standalone programs--not an uncommon thing--but there are literally 71 professors on this list with "Holocaust" in their formal title, many of them department chairs. Incredible.

Charlotte, I would like to draw your attention to this tweet by Jessica Price. Prty +! As other people have been saying, this is an eerily relevant number. There's an old Jewish legend that the existence of the world is sustained by 36 righteous people.https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/07/01/neveragainisnow-36-arrested-hundreds-jewish-protesters-block-road-migrant-detention …
