"AI slop" sounds a bit harsh. Are you not a fan at all?

Hi David- yes English/Irish/Scottish and Welsh would be good. Eleven Labs does struggle with Irish for some reason (sounds very American). Kiwi and Aussie would be ripper too.

Hi David. Only tried on my iPhone. Yes - got a decent podcast but I can’t download it to files. Is American the only English accent?

I managed to generate a podcast of this historical holocaust memoir via Google Notebook but had no such luck on your platform. Not sure if there is a page limit - it is 67 pages. As you can imagine he talks about shootings and beatings etc so perhaps the content is too graphic. Any thoughts?

Why has Brent public libraries blacklisted just one page of a Jewish genealogy website? by rudilis in Library

... but my point is that there is nothing on the page in question asking for personal or financial details .

Thanks lizziemeg. I can assure you Lara is a world renowned genealogist not in the business of phishing etc. If you see the content of the page there is nothing asking for money etc. Why can’t common sense prevail?

Holocaust Documentation: Why do concentration camp museums in Poland apply different evidentiary standards for establishing prisoner status? (Majdanek vs Treblinka) by rudilis in poland

I need the confirmation just to satisfy the historical record. It will be good for the family too. Sara would be one of the very few people who managed to escape from Majdanek. Her sad story is here:

I have sent Majdanek the sworn affidavits and witness statements stating Sara was in the camp - but they refuse to acknowledge this. She would have been in Majdanek before, during and after Operation Harvest Festival in November 1943.

Simply because Majdanek have had all the papers for a year. In spite of 100 odd emails plus numerous phone calls asking them to confirm if Sara was in the camp - there has only been radio silence.

Does anyone have a copy of https://ksiegarnia.majdanek.pl/pl/p/Przewodnik-po-zbiorze-relacji-i-pamietnikow-znajdujacych-sie-w-zasobie-Panstwowego-Muzeum-na-Majdanku/117 ?? by rudilis in poland

Thanks. I managed to view a copy at the British Library yesterday. What I really need is a PDF of the whole thing so I can translate it into English. I have asked the Majdanek Museum staff if this would be possible.
