Holocaust: An American Understanding
Deborah E. LipstadtAlexander NazaryanHe also uses an imbecilic “argument” made by Holocaust denier David Irving about aerial photographs of Auschwitz. The whole notion was utterly demolished in a London courtroom by Deborah Lipstadt, now @StateSEAS. https://t.co/Uf2R8fBcjN

Lake Success
Gary ShteyngartAlexander Nazaryan“Lake Success” by @Shteyngart is an immensely enjoyable novel, especially in these grim times, but in all frankness the whole project is justified by the invocation of the“Flatiron Montessori.”
