  1. An interview with Molly Crabapple. Her most recent book is "Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund". She notably explains "hereness" and evokes the history of the Bund (or General Jewish Labour Bund, Yiddish: דער בונד), a socialist party founded in the Russian Empire (primarily Lithuania, Poland, and Russia).

  2. During the later stages of World War II and until 1950, millions of Germans and German-speaking persons fled or were expelled from various Eastern and Central European areas. It was the largest transfer of any single ethnic population in European history.

    The German population east of Oder-Neisse was estimated at over 11 million in early 1945. The first mass flight of Germans followed the Red Army's advance.

  4. A group of #NorthKoreanDefectors has resettled in #Canada through #PrivateSponsorship for the first time, a Canada-based #HumanRights org. announced Wednesday.

    #HanVoice said that the #defectors arrived at #Toronto Pearson Airport, where they were greeted by #Canadian sponsor groups holding welcome signs.

    While HanVoice did not disclose the identities or genders of the defectors, media reports suggest they are all women who fled #NorthKorea before the COVID-19 pandemic and had been staying in a Southeast Asian country.

    Canada now joins the U.S. and South Korea as the third country to legally accept North Korean defectors for #resettlement.

    HanVoice launched its private sponsorship program for North Korean defectors in Oct. 2021, focusing on women and children, whom they describe as “the most vulnerable population of defectors.”

    “Canada is the only country to resettle North Korean #refugees using a private sponsorship model, a ‘made-in-Canada’ community-led approach that has been copied around the world,” HanVoice previously said.
