Rethinking Poles and Jews [Polacy i Żydzi]

Annamaria Orla-Bukowska is the co-author of Rethinking Poles and Jews: Troubled Past, Brighter Future, the 2007 book produced in collaboration with Professor Robert Cherry of Brooklyn College and published in English as well as in Polish under the title Polacy i Żydzi – kwestia otwarta (pictured). It consists of a series of essays devoted to the subject of the Holocaust in Poland;[5] one of the first books to address the negative assumptions and anti-Polish bias in the Holocaust literature.[6][7] The book was described by Michael C. Steinlauf as "a ray of light amidst the acrimonious and generally uninformed polemics", and by Deborah Lipstadt as "a series of essays that pierce the stereotypes which have obscured historical reality".[5]

gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
gollark: Oh, and there's the obvious probably-leading-to-terrible-consequences thing of being able to conveniently see the social media profiles of anyone you meet.
gollark: Some uses: if you are going shopping in a real-world shop you could get reviews displayed on the items you look at; it could be a more convenient interface for navigation apps; you could have an instructional video open while learning to do something (which is already doable on a phone, yes, but then you have to either hold or or stand it up somewhere, which is somewhat less convenient), and with some extra design work it could interactively highlight the things you're using; you could implement a real-world adblocker if there's some way to dim/opacify/draw attention away from certain bits of the display.
