    Episode Five - Dr Dan Harwood (Rings of Saturn by W. G. Sebald)

    Joining us on this episode of Between the Lines is Dr Dan Harwood to discuss Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald. Dan is a consultant in old age psychiatry at Croydon Memory Service. What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.

    Episode Two - Professor Sir Simon Wessely (Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning)

    Joining us on Between the Lines this episode is Professor Sir Simon Wessely. We discuss Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher Browning (1992). Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.  Ordinary Men is a powerful, chilling, and important work with themes and arguments that continue to resonate today.
