Excellent
I just discovered this podcast. It is a great selection of important historical events related to the Holocaust, and the discussion is insightful and engaging. I wish these professors would come together again and choose additional important events during this time period upon which we can reflect, particularly given the current shift to right wing leadership in the West in 2024. We must understand our collective past in order to learn from our mistakes. Thank you.
