I've been wanting to get into the Arthurian legend but I don't know where to start, where do you recommend?

I would say Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a good place to start, if you like that, consider The Knight of the Cart and if you’re still interested, try Prose Lancelot/the Vulgate Cycle.

That is my favorite translation of SGATGK, it is translated very plainly. If you struggle with Lancelot, The Knight of the Cart, I would recommend the audiobook version on YouTube.

I went to the old barracks museum in Trenton recently for their Black Military History exhibit (it was pretty good. Check with @actualshonenprotagonist if you want to know more about it). While I was there I spoke with Anne, who was working at the giftshop desk, about a number of things, including her current studies in holocaust and genocide history and preservation. I asked her if she could wrangle up a suggested reading list about jewish resistence during the Holocaust, since that is a particular subject I would like to learn more about and havent had the opportunity to look into during my formal education.

She got back to me today! In case any of my followers are interested, I’ll share it here
