New Lecture Series for the Public: "Hitler and Stalin Today" [Timothy Snyder]
Source:
https://snyder.substack.com/p/new-lecture-series-for-the-public- **Institution:** University of Toronto
- **Lecturer:** [Timothy Snyder](https://substack.com/@snyder)
- **University Course Code:** [MUN180H1](https://artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/course/mun180h1)
- **Subject:** #authoritarianism #colonization #communism #democracy #fascism #genocide #history #holocaust #politics #soviet #worldhistory
- **Year:** 2026
- **Description:**
> The first lecture in a ten-lecture series on Hitler and Stalin today.
>
> The first lecture (video above) is titled “What is history?” We speak often about history, but we are careless with the past. When we choose not to know what has happened before, we are also choosing not to influence what will happen after. If we don’t care about history, we find ourselves in an eternal present, denied any sort of imagination about the future, and nurtured on lies about a past in which we were innocent. History does not mean these misleading tales; it means a search for knowledge, using a certain set of tools; it means a process that enriches and humanizes, one that allows us to name things by their proper names.

The Wall Boycott Assistant helps people “know what’s really on your phone” by scanning installed apps for ties to companies you may want to avoid (HQ, founders, investors, or BDS categories). One-tap checks run with an offline database—no accounts. 🌐📱🛡️ #AppScanner #DigitalSafety #OpenSource https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thewallboycott.android&hl=en

Don’t forget 🇮🇱⚠️ that Israel is facing serious allegations of mass atrocities 🩸❌. Israel-based firms have produced widely condemned spyware (e.g., Pegasus) that has been exported to government clients and reportedly misused to spy on Palestinians and many others 🇵🇸👁️. The broader pattern is that advanced surveillance tools are proliferating with too little accountability—across governments and political networks
