Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends – This book is fascinating on multiple levels. It’s genealogical, although that’s an extra layer to it all. The main focus is Latvia, but 3 continents feature, and the lessons are universal. We all know the expression that “history is written by the victors,” but this book is a bit of a wake up call about how it can also be re-written by interested parties (sound familiar?). And then there’s the interplay of history, literature, and law – and oh, the complexity of competing legal systems (especially with regard to the Holocaust). It’s a LOT.

Why You Should Visit Italy’s ‘Ellis Island’ Museum – Am of fan of emigration museums that show the before-they-left side of Ellis Island (e.g., Cobh Heritage Centre), and this one definitely sounds worth a visit!

Benjamin Banneker and Us: Eleven Generations of an American Family – Mixed feelings on this one. Great topic – intriguing, genealogical, and well-written – but some of the fiction bits were a stretch. Also, as much as she said that she didn’t want to center herself, she kind of did by the end. That said, still worth a read especially if you’re new to Benjamin Banneker.

She’s 86. She’s 28. They love their hang time as the wallpaper queens of Los Angeles. – This made me smile.

Empowering Genealogists with Artificial Intelligence – Definitely worth your time if you want to learn about using AI for genealogy!
