Branchingblog

Branchingblog is a personal essay and author platform—not a firearms retailer, range, gunsmith, or shooting-related business. This appears to be a data entry error.

Branchingblog is the personal blog of Suzanne Loebl, an author and art historian based in Connecticut. The site publishes long-form personal essays on topics including:

• •Art history and Nazi-looted artwork (her primary professional focus)
• •Holocaust narratives and recovery stories
• •Family history and personal memoirs
• •Reflections on life, travel, and relationships
• •Essays on politics, reproductive rights, and social issues

Suzanne Loebl is a published author with 15 books to her name. Her most recent work, "Plunder and Survival: Stories of Theft, Loss, Recovery and Migration of Nazi-Uprooted Art," was published by Bloomsbury Press on October 16, 2025. She spent over a decade researching and writing this book, working with editor Abigail Wilentz on the final manuscript.

Her background includes:

• •Childhood as a refugee (fled Nazi Germany to Belgium in 1938, then evacuated to France in 1940)
• •Decades living between Brooklyn, New York and Echo Lake on Mount Desert Island, Maine
• •Extensive experience with art museums, collecting, and Holocaust history
• •Strong connections to German-Jewish history and WWII narratives

Beyond her published books, Loebl launched "Plunder and Survival: Stories of Nazi-Uprooted Art," a biweekly Substack newsletter. This publication features stories and essays about Nazi-uprooted artwork that didn't make it into her book but were too compelling to abandon. Subscribers receive short essays exploring themes of art theft, recovery, migration, and survival during and after WWII.

Her essays are personal, reflective, and deeply researched. Recent pieces include tributes to her miniature poodle Viva, memories of her summer camp in Maine, family stories spanning decades, and meditations on loss and memory. The blog attracts readers interested in:

• •Art history and museum culture
• •Holocaust education and Jewish history
• •Literary nonfiction and personal essay
• •Family history and memoir

If your search intended to find "The Boise Gun Club" or another firearms-related business in Idaho or Connecticut, this is the wrong listing. Branchingblog operates as a personal author platform, not a gun club, range, retailer, or shooting facility.
