Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
I finally had time to write something again! :D
There were also a couple I absolutely loved that you'll find on our @askhistorians Twitter this week or next:
/u/commiespaceinvader wrote another of their stunningly well-informed posts and nobody noticed. It's about Majdanek, a less well-known concentration/death camp in Poland.
Thanks to all the panelists and those asking questions in the Frontiers, Borderlands, and Liminal Spaces AMA!
u/OakheartIX answered Were the Wars of Religion truly about religion?
I really enjoyed If Plato is the source of our knowledge about Socrates, and as he used Socrates as a means to further his own arguments, how much can we know for sure about Socrates, who he was and what his thoughts were? What is the general consensus among scholars about things we know for sure about Socrates? by /u/iamthemayor with some other fine folks pitching in for later discussion as well.
/u/mimicofmodes wrote an incredible Russian-focused response to my question on sexism against women monarchs
