I FINALLY got my digital modeling computer and now I feel like a real Digital Humanities Guy!

It's my first semester back (as I've been off for 18 months doing my #VisualizingJanowska project) so I haven't really taught in the era of AI slop.
I'm hoping that I can show students that actually genAI isn't helping them.
I'm happy for any feedback (well, most.)
I'll be talking about Janowska and the #VisualizingJanowska project this Thursday as I am honored to be giving the Aubrey Newman Lecture at the @uolsbc.bsky.social in Leicester!

🧵 I'm listening to some #Janowska survivor testimony for the #VisualizingJanowska project and...it's always interesting to see how the interviewer affects the testimony.
This is from Leon Wells.
He's talking about his first arrival at the camp but the interviewer is more interested in religion.
More amazing progress on the #VisualizingJanowska Project.

New update of images from the #VisualizingJanowska project. Really cool stuff!

It's happening!!!
Sneak peak at some visuals from the #VisualizingJanowska project!
Doing some research for the #VisualizingJanowska project and came across this gem from the brutal SS rapist in charge of the camp laundry. (Statement given to police in 1963)
Just pure fiction.
Would love to chat about the #VisualizingJanowska project if you're interested!
Goldilocks and the three guard towers.
Squinting at a photograph that has a different tower in the far background and trying to figure out its dimensions.

It was great to talk to @theihra.bsky.social about the #VisualizingJanowska project and digitally modeling Holocaust sites. Thanks so much to @gillycarr.bsky.social for inviting me!
ON this #DayofDH2024... allow me to introduce the #VisualizingJanowska Project. (More info below)
Off to Cambridge for the day and it will never not be cool to leave from Newcastle Central Station where a medieval castle always photobombs you.

The Rohatyn Jewish Heritage project has created a rail map from Rohatyn to the Bełżec extermination center.
Which also makes it a great resource for the #VisualizingJanowska project as it shows the route from the #Janowska camp as well.

I'm translating testimony for my #VisualizingJanowska project while I am also reading people talking about how the Nazis weren't as barbaric as Hamas.
Well, literally just translated these descriptions of killings from the #Janowska camp.
Working to identify which #Janowska buildings were pre-war buildings.
