For the second time as an historian I was entrusted with with telling a congregation’s history. Thank you Tabernacle Presbyterian for that honor and Indiana Historical Society and Ray Boomhower making it happen! #book9

Best thing you can do sometimes as a writer is write. Spent today writing an historical overview about religion, social gospel, Catholic social doctrine and American politics. And then I did some writing on my “Abyss” project follow up to Ike and the Holocaust. Progress clears one’s head!

Started this last night, looking forward to finishing it tonight. Happy to say I know the author!

Getting to see the “vengeance” weapons up close at the Imperial War Museum—along with other artifacts and documents—is already helping the research and writing of one of my current projects (and hopefully, eventual book).

Today is July 20. In 1944, Operation Valkyrie almost changed the course of World War Two. I’ll be discussing it in the manuscript/book I’m starting to work on this summer.

So a bit of news on the professional front: 1. I received a research fellowship that is going to help me write a book on two concentration camps. 2. I was invited to speak about Ike in NYC this fall. 3. Page proofs arrived today for my next book. June has been a great month!

Today is “the day of days.” In 1944, Americans are hearing church bells ring, reading newspaper headlines, and listening to radio broadcasts about the fact that Allied forces are beginning the liberation of France.

Back in the office for a bit today. In the accumulated mail was my @butleru anniversary card….a reminder of the many wonderful students I’ve had over the years in the classroom and the scholarship they’ve helped inspire me to produce.

Last year, one of our regular tour guides me told me she was going to order my Eisenhower & the Holocaust book. Earlier this week I got to sign her copy in the middle of Berlin. It was a wonderful experience! Thanks to all my readers—including Tina’s mom and dad who also read the book!

For authors, it is special to see your book on sale at a store. More so when said store is a part of the very museum where the idea for the book happened. That happened for me today at the @ushmm.bsky.social Thank you @rabeari.bsky.social and @dgb-history.bsky.social

When Gen Eisenhower went to Ohrdurf Concentration Camp, the first camp liberated by the US Forces, he ensured that the press were in attendance so that the world would know the atrocities that took place and try to take note to ensure it never happened again @histprofdad.bsky.social discisses

My new favorite German phrase: Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung. (there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing) Shoutout to the 20% Berlin blog for the story that said phrase came from this morning.

Thought it would be nice to start the new year off with Ike’s latest review from Amazon: „This was a clear, concise examination of how Eisenhower’s decision to witness the horrors of the concentration camps left a lasting impact. I highly recommend reading this very timely book.” Thank you Angela!

It was an honor and a privilege to talk with a TOLI group of educators about Eisenhower & the Holocaust today. They represent 20 states and are learning ways to incorporate Holocaust education into their classrooms…and they had some great questions!
