The Republican Journal advanced a talk by Anne Knowles, a professor of history at the University of Maine, to be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Old Professor’s Bookshop, 99 Maine St., Belfast. “Telling the Story of the Holocaust in Maps” will focus on new information obtained by constructing maps from historical data such as the development of concentration camps, the article states. The talk is part of the bookstore’s monthly “Shop Talk” series. Knowles, a distinguished professor, author and cartography expert, as well as co-founder of Holocaust Geographies Collaborative, believes maps make the past real and exciting, The Republican Journal reported. “They are a thrilling medium of expression, revealing invisible patterns of human action and how they change over time,” said Knowles.
