Today in Labor History February 8, 1962: French National Police opened fire on a large demonstration in the Charonne massacre. Supporters of Algerian liberation and unionists were protesting the OAS, a right-wing paramilitary fighting against Algerian liberation fighters. 9 people died, all members of the CGT union. This came in the wake of the October, 1961 massacre, when French National Police, under orders from Nazi collaborator, Maurice Papon, opened fire on 30,000 supporters of Algerian independence. The French government acknowledged that they killed 50 people. However, some historians believe that 200-300 Algerians died. In 1998, the authorities convicted Papon of Crimes Against Humanity for his collaboration with the Vichy government. During the trial, they established that the 1961 massacre was deliberate. The graffiti in the image reads: Here we drown Algerians.

The Catcher

Stella Goldschlag was a German Jewish woman who collaborated with the Gestapo during World War II, exposing and denouncing Berlin's underground Jews.

She was the only child in a middle-class, assimilated family and like other Jewish children, was forbidden to go to a state school by Nazi racial policies, so she attended the Goldschmidt School, set up by the local Jewish community. In 1942, with the deportation programs in effect, she disappeared underground with forged papers, passing as a non-Jew with her blonde-haired, blue-eyed 'Aryan' appearance. She was captured and tortured before, in order to avoid the deportation of herself and her parents she agreed to become a "catcher" (Greiferin) for the Gestapo, hunting down the "submerged" (Untergetauchter). Besides her parent's protection, she was promised a reward of 300 Reichsmark for each Jew that she betrayed. Posing as a hidden Jew herself, Stella offered food and accommodation to her former classmates before handing over information about their friends and family to the Gestapo. She is said to have helped capture over 600 hidden Jews. Despite her parents eventually being murdered in Auschwitz, she continued to collaborate to insure her own safety.
After the war, the one known as 'Blonde Poison' again went into hiding. She was found and arrested by the Soviets in October 1945 and sentenced to ten years of hard labor. She committed suicide in 1994.
A film - Stella. A Life - starring Paula Beer and directed by Kilian Reidhof will be released this hear.

Continued thread

#CollaborativeHumanAISystems studies 3 questions:

1. How do we model a human so that an #AI #System can reason with it? How to find a _prescriptive_ model? Human-centered sciences have a starting point.

2. How do we design an #intelligent #collaborator #agent?

3. How to we measure progress? THE most critical question. As #CS people, we are enamored byaccuracy, scale etc. But, in #HumanCentered research, we have to study what humans care about.

The potential #impact is interdisciplinary.
