Last month’s Autonomia includes an obituary on Peter Bogdanovich (with a note on Betty White) whom I met during an event sponsored by the Academy. Readers delved into what I describe as Joe Biden’s anti-press conference, a 12-month perspective identifying what remains unknown about 2021’s storming of the Capitol and a full review of Cal Newport’s Deep Work. A 10th anniversary article recalled the wonder of 2012’s silent, black and white Best Picture Oscar winner The Artist. Tie-In Tuesday returned.
For Autonomia’s first anniversary, I added a logo. Some readers wrote that they like it.
Autonomia’s first 2022 article, however, examines my visit to an underground holocaust museum. This includes an audio tour, a holographic exchange with a Jewish survivor and a complete diorama of the only death camp with a successfully armed mass revolt against the National Socialist regime. It’s a report on America’s oldest holocaust museum—the first in the U.S. to be founded by a band of survivors (who met at Hollywood High School)—here in the city of angels. It’s this year’s inaugural article (for which I lowered the paywall) because Autonomia exists to focus not on what’s trending but what ought to be known, studied and remembered.
Think, read and live free.
