Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

The program is now posted for the upcoming international conference on the history of plague, 14-16 October in Bordeaux: www.academia.edu/143929249. An important gathering of historians, bioarchaeologists, entomologists, & geneticists looking at one of the most devastating diseases in history. 🧪🗃️
The opening page of the program for a colloquium to be held in Bordeaux in October. In addition to the title (Les Hommes et la peste: 50 ans plus tard, que sait-on? Hommage à Jean-Noël Biraben [“Humankind and the Plague: Fifty Years On, What Do We Know? A Colloquium in Honor of Jean-Noël Biraben”]), the image shows a recent photograph of the honoree, Biraben; a "plague cross" erected in 1890 to commemorate the plague in Dordogne in 1350; and an image of a corps riding on a horse, from a later 14th-century tapistry.

Why the weasel testicles? Cambridge show explains medieval medicine
Exhibition aims to help visitors get inside the minds that thought mercury and roasted apples would cure lice Medieval treatments might make you question the sanity of the doctors of the day, but a new exhibition is set to take visitors inside the minds of such medics and reveal the method behind what can seem like madness. Curious Cures, opening on Saturday at Cambridge University Library, is the culmination of a project to digitise and catalogue more than 180 manuscripts, mostly dating from the 14th or 15th centuries, that contain recipes for medical treatments, from compendiums of cures to alchemical texts and guides to healthy living.
