Victory in Europe Day brought the curtain down on a horrific conflict that decimated a continent and upended the world. But the price of victory over fascism was impossibly high. Many millions had been killed, and vast areas of Europe had been all but destroyed. VE Day signalled the end of Nazi Germany, and yet the war on the Pacific Front was still raging, and Stalin was already tightening his grip on what would become the Eastern Bloc. Meanwhile, many of the countries that had joined the fight against Hitler were left broken, bankrupt, and lawless. So, what did it take for the war to finally end? How was news of Germany's surrender spread and received? And amid the devastation, how do the continent's citizens celebrate and look forward with optimism?  This is a Short History Of VE Day. A Noiser production, written by Martin McNamara.

Una misa funeral, ¡por fin se cumple la gran demanda de la ciudadanía valenciana tras el desastre de la Dana! Y además, un ingeniero mata a un CEO, en Siria pasan cosas bastante importantes y conocemos las últimas peripecias de Gan Pampols. ¡Por fin la gran demanda de la ciudadanía valenciana tras los horrores de la Dana ha encontrado respuesta! ¿Dimisiones? ¿Asunción de responsabilidades? ¿Organización rápida, empática y eficaz? ¿Líderes competentes? ¡Claro que no! Hablamos de la apoteósica misa funeral en la catedral, celebrada en recuerdo de las víctimas de la catástrofe y en la que estuvieron presentes muchos señores importantes con corbata (y los reyes). Además, en este programa contamos con un invitado excepcional: nos acompaña el periodista de Àpunt, Josep Rodríguez, que ha cubierto toda la actualidad de la Dana y sus derivadas. Y una semana más, en La Paella Rusa nos toca calarnos nuestro gorro de la actualidad internacional. En esta ocasión hablamos de la actualidad de Siria, donde acaba de caer el régimen de Bachar el Asad. Pero, por supuesto, también hay un hueco en nuestros corazoncitos para hablar de Luigi Mangione, el joven estadounidense acusado de asesinar a tiros a Brian Thompson, CEO de UnitedHealthCare. Y como no podía ser de otra manera, tenemos nueva entrega de nuestra aclamada sección ¿qué ha hecho esta semana el exteniente general del Ejército de Tierra, vicepresident y conseller para la Recuperación Económica y Social, Francisco José Gan Pampols? Y la respuesta es: fichar a un tipo de Zaragoza. También abordamos toda la actualidad de la Liga Villaconejos (conocida por algunos como Hypermotion). En nuestra recomendación cultural, os proponemos leer un librito para ir abriéndose al espíritu navideño. Se trata de Continente salvaje: Europa después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, de Keith Lowe (Galaxia Gutenberg). ¡Dentro sinopsis! “La Segunda Guerra Mundial dejó a Europa sumida en el caos. Paisajes y cultivos destruidos, ciudades completamente arrasadas y más de 35 millones de muertos. En la mayor parte del continente, las instituciones como la policía, los medios de comunicación, el transporte, los gobiernos locales y nacionales, habían dejado de existir. Los índices de criminalidad aumentaron, las economías colapsaron y los ciudadanos europeos estaban al límite de la extenuación. En este apasionante estudio de los años posteriores a la guerra, Keith Lowe describe un continente todavía sacudido por la violencia, donde una gran parte de la población no había aceptado aún que la guerra hubiera terminado. El libro subraya la ausencia de moralidad y la insaciable sed de venganza consecuencia del conflicto. Describe los choques étnicos y los enfrentamientos civiles que azotaron las vidas de la gente común desde el mar Báltico al Mediterráneo y el establecimiento de un nuevo orden que finalmente trajo una difícil estabilidad a un continente devastado. Casi todo lo referente a la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha sido estudiado y difundido. Sin embargo, muy poco es lo que se conoce de los cinco años posteriores a la guerra en los que murieron también millones de europeos y decenas de millones sufrieron los horrores de la posguerra. Basado en documentos originales, entrevistas y estudios académicos en ocho lenguas diferentes, Continente salvaje cambia radicalmente la visión que hasta hoy se tenía de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y ayuda a entender la Europa de nuestros días, heredera de aquellos conflictos”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Within months of the allies liberation of Naples in October of 1943 the city was plunged into the horrors of disease, starvation, prostitution and racketeering.

Joining is Keith Lowe, author of Naples 1944, an account of the chaos that resulted from what was supposed to be a release from the misery of occupation.

As the ongoing genocide in Gaza now spreads to war with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the mass bombing of Lebanese citizens, this podcast is the first of a series of regular Friday features that examines current events to give them meaningful historical context. In this episode we explore the history of Israel's sense of national identity from 1948 onwards. As Yishuv and Diaspora Jews (the later having survived genocide in Europe) encountered one another in the late 1940s and early 1950s deep seated anxieties and prejudices towards the new arrivals often surfaced, along with fears about what their presence meant for the future of Israel and its identity.This podcast draws from The Fear and the Freedom by Keith Lowe, which you can buy hereHelp the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

The book offers a comprehensive and often shocking account of the destruction, violence, and chaos that characterized the post-war era in Europe.Lowe begins by highlighting the immense devastation caused by the war, from the physical destruction of cities and infrastructure to the loss of life and displacement of millions. He explores the psychological and emotional trauma suffered by not only soldiers but also civilians who had endured years of occupation, bombings, and forced labor.The book delves into topics such as the mass rape and sexual violence inflicted upon women, the vengeful acts committed by both victorious and defeated nations, and the revenge taken against collaborators and perceived enemies.

Piše: Milan Vogel Bereta: Lidija Hartman in Jure Franko ”Spomeniki so vseh mogočih oblik in velikosti. V tej knjigi sem predstavil pomene in motive, ki se skrivajo za širokim naborom obeležij – ne le običajnih kipov, ampak tudi abstraktnih skulptur, slik, arhitekturnih objektov, muzejev in spominskih parkov, porušenih zgradb in porušenih vasi, koncentracijskih taborišč, pokopališč, grobnic in svetišč.” Tako angleški zgodovinar Keith Lowe, avtor, ki je slovenskim bralcem znan vsaj še po knjigah Podivjana celina in Strah in svoboda, strnjeno povzema vsebino in sporočilo odlično napisane knjige Ujetniki zgodovine. Kaj nam spomeniki drugi svetovni vojni povedo o zgodovini in o nas. Tako kot ljudje so tudi spomeniki ujeti v okove zgodovine, ki se jih zaradi spreminjanja družbenih razmer le težko otresejo. Avtor ob številnih primerih poudarja, da se vlogi ”junaka” in ”mučenika” lahko hitro zamenjata. To dokazujejo rušitve spomenikov ob spremembah režimov po vsem svetu. Spomnimo se podiranja spomenika Sadamu Huseinu, odstranjevanja Stalinovih ali Leninovih kipov v baltskih in drugih državah, začetka odstranjevanja kipov junakov konfederacije z ulic in javnih trgov leta 2017 v ZDA, rušenja spomenika kralju Aleksandru v Ljubljani ob italijanski okupaciji, umaknitve Titovega spomenika izpred Muzeja novejše zgodovine in odstranitve spomenikov, povezanih z NOB, z Brda. Avtor rušenje ali odstranitev sicer razume, a hkrati obžaluje, saj so spomeniki dragoceni zgodovinski dokumenti, ki ”zgovorno pripovedujejo o vrednotah naših prednikov, dobrih in slabih. To so znamenitosti z močjo, ki navdihujejo vse mogoče debate. So tudi velike umetnine, izdelane z osupljivo rokodelsko spretnostjo in domišljijo. Uničevanje vsega tega zaradi sodobne politike je velika sramota.” V sklepnem delu poudarja, da rušenje ne rešuje naše zgodovine, ampak jo zgolj potisne pod zemljo. S spomeniki se je vedno treba soočiti in se o njih pogovarjati, kličejo nas na odgovornost in skrbijo, da ”nikoli ne pozabimo na svoj dolg do zgodovine ali na svojo zasužnjenost z njo”. Predstavitev petindvajsetih spomenikov in obeležij z vsega sveta v tej knjigi to nazorno kaže. S takim razumevanjem je Lowe spomenike razvrstil v pet kategorij. V prvi so spomeniki, postavljeni junakom, v drugi mučenikom, v tretji pošastim, četrti del je naslovil Apokalipsa, zadnjega, petega, pa Ponovno rojstvo. Vsak spomenik je odsev trenutnih družbenih razmer, kar avtor brez patetike tudi razloži. Nekateri so pogosto predstavljani, kot npr. Auschwitz, drugi manj, kot npr. 2000 km dolga pešpot Pot osvoboditve Evrope, ki se začenja v Londonu in vodi po znamenitih krajih, po katerih so se zahodni osvoboditelji Evrope v letih 1944 in 1945 prebijali do Berlina. Za avtorja je to daleč največji spomenik v tej knjigi, saj govori tako o današnjem svetu kot o zgodovini. ”Za pešpotjo se poleg zgodovinskega sporočila skriva tudi politično sporočilo – ali vsaj politično stališče.” Evropski svet jo je potrdil kot uradno evropsko kulturno pot. Zaradi časovne omejenosti prispevka ne moremo navajati vseh spomenikov in obeležij, zgodovinskih parkov, porušenih krajev, ki so kot spomeniki ostali v ruševinah, kot npr. vas Oradour-sur-Glane v Franciji ali katedrala v v letalskem napadu uničenem Coventryju v Angliji, katere prošt Harwar je že med vojno pozival k spravi in sodelovanju s porušenimi cerkvami v Nemčiji. Coventry se danes imenuje Mesto miru in sprave in je pobraten z mnogimi med vojno porušenimi mesti, kot so Volgograd, Varšava, Dresden in Hirošima. Njegovo osrednje gledališče se imenuje po leta 1941 bombardiranem Beogradu, ena od ulic po vasi Lidice, ki so jo leta 1942 povsem porušili nacisti, ena pa po nemškem mestu Meschede, ki je bilo leta 1945 uničeno v letalskem napadu ameriških bombnikov. V tretjem delu knjige, naslovljenem Pošasti, je dobila mesto tudi Slovenija, in sicer s Spomenikom žrtvam vseh vojn na Kongresnem trgu v Ljubljani, ”enem najzanimivejših in najbolj problematičnih spomenikov, kar sem jih kdaj videl”, pravi. ”V primerjavi z drugimi do sedaj videnimi obravnavanimi obeležji ta spomenik narodove preteklosti ne poskuša spraviti v figurativno podobo. Nikjer ni nobenega kipa, nobenih portretov ljudi, zamrznjenih v akciji. Spomenik je popolnoma abstrakten. Vendar ni zato nič manj kontroverzen.” Po Lowovem mnenju spomenik nima namena zbujati pozornosti, saj je ob zadnjem obisku nekaj ur stal ob njem in ga opazoval, a se nihče ni ustavil, da bi ga pogledal. ”Nihče ni na klinasto oblikovani stopnici na njegovem južnem robu čakal na srečanje s prijatelji. Nihče se ni ustavil v senci velikih kamnitih plošč, da bi pojedel sendvič. Spomenik obvladuje eno stran Kongresnega trga v samem osrčju mesta, toda zdi se, da ga preveva nekaj, kar odbija pozornost,” in nadaljuje, da je brezizraznost spomenika verjetno njegova največja prednost, saj da je želel biti tankočuten, da ne bi nikogar žalil in obujal razdiralnih strasti med vojno. ”Če ne pove ničesar o junakih niti o mučenikih niti o krivcih, potem je to namerna odločitev. Celo njegovo ime je namerno nedoločno. Čeprav vsakdo ve, da je to spomenik drugi svetovni vojni, je posvečen žrtvam vseh vojn.” Avtor je bil pretresen nad Hudo jamo, kamor ga je peljal Mitja Ferenc, zato se sprašuje, kaj ta ”brezizrazni, abstraktni spomenik pove o strahotah, ki sem jim bil ravnokar priča? Kako lahko sprejmeš spomenik iz čistega belega kamna, ko pa je resnica dosti bolj umazana, skrita na dnu temnega brezna v slovenskih hribih?” Na drugem mestu zapiše, da če so drugi spomeniki postavljeni zato, da bi usmerjali narodove spomine, je ta ravno zato, da bi jih razblinil.

Welcome to a captivating episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we take an insightful journey into the legacy of Mussolini's historical memory in Italy. In this episode, titled "Mussolini's Mausoleum," our focus centers on the site where his remains are interred, located in Predappio, Italy.We delve into the fascinating history surrounding the mausoleum and its significance as a symbol of Mussolini's enduring impact on Italian society. Join us as we navigate the complex emotions, controversies, and conflicting narratives that surround this poignant location.Throughout the episode, we explore the historical context of Mussolini's rise to power and the creation of a fascist regime in Italy. We examine the construction of Predappio as a cult-like pilgrimage site for fascist sympathizers, where Mussolini's burial place became an emblematic space for the perpetuation of fascist ideology and nostalgia.Drawing on Keith Lowe's Prisoners of History, we unravel the layers of historical memory associated with Mussolini and his mausoleum. We delve into the public reception of the site, exploring the varied perspectives of Italians who view it as either a place of reverence, a reminder of a dark past, or an opportunity for critical reflection.

During this episode, we discuss our time at the NCAA Convention. This was a historical meeting as the new NCAA Constitution was officially adopted during this convention. The new constitution contains language that supports student athletes' ability to profit from their name, image, and likeness. We are joined by our producer, Anthony Palmer, from Palm Tree Pod Co.During the convention, members were allowed to voice their opinions about the new constitution. Dr. Bill Fierfelder, President of Belmont Abbey College, voiced concern that the new constitution was rushed. Mads McKenna, a member of SAAC, expressed her support for the new constitution and added that she was pleased with the fact that student-athletes could now profit from their NIL. Betsy Mitchell, Athletic Director of Cal Tech, expressed her opposition to the new constitution and stated that the new constitution was revised to benefit a few members, rather than the majority of institution members. We interviewed a few amazing guests. We spoke with Keith Lowe from DV Sport about the POV of a parent of a student-athlete trying to navigate the NIL era. We sat down with Harrison Larner, a junior at Northwestern University and co-founder of 8 In The Box Productions, to discuss how student-athletes can promote themselves using visual media.

Humankind has always had the urge to memorialise, to make physical testaments to the past. There’s just one problem: when we carve a statue or put up a monument, it can wind up holding us hostage to bad history. In this extraordinary history book, Keith Lowe uses monuments from around the world to show how different countries have attempted to sculpt their history in the wake of the Second World War, and what these memorials reveal about their politics and national identity today. Amongst many questions, the book asks: What does Germany signal to today’s far right by choosing not to disclose the exact resting place of Hitler? How can a bronze statue of a young girl in Seoul cause mass controversy? What is Russia trying to prove and hide, still building victory monuments at a prolific rate for a war now seventy years over? As many around the world are questioning who and what we memorialise, Prisoners of History challenges our idea of national memory, history, and the enormous power of symbols in society today.

Why does the Second World War continue to have such a strong appeal for us? “It’s the fudging of the truth that’s much more important than the actual lies … mythology is more difficult to get to grips with.” In summer blockbusters and bestseller lists, on internet chat forums and national debates, World War II is a cultural touchstone for us. Decades on from Basil Fawlty’s famous “don’t mention the war” bit, this is the war we just can’t stop mentioning. In this episode, Natasha tells a somewhat appalled Simon about the time she had a dream she interviewed Hitler for Life & Faith, and also has a more serious conversation with British historian Keith Lowe, author of (among other things) The Fear and the Freedom: Why the Second World War Still Matters. They discuss good and evil, a war criminal who later repented, the antagonism that many Holocaust survivors faced after the war, and the religious revival that followed in its wake.  And, of course, whether comparisons between the Second World War and Covid are valid. “People want to be a part of something bigger than themselves, they want to part of a community - because that’s what they felt during the war.” --- Buy Keith’s book, The Fear and the Freedom Read Natasha’s article, “What do the stories we tell about the Second World War say about us?”

Historian and author Keith Lowe speaks to us about his new book Prisoners of History, which tells the stories of 25 monuments to the Second World War from across the globe and explains why many have become highly controversial.

Ko se danes oziramo v majske dni leta 1945, ko s eje pred 75. leti končala druga svetovna vojna, se nam kaj lahko zazdi, da je bil to radosten čas. Vsi smo vendar videli fotografije mornarjev, kako ob zmagi poljubljajo dekleta na newyorškem Times Squaru, videli smo tudi nasmejane partizane, kako korakajo po s soncem obsijanih ulicah pravkar osvobojene Ljubljane. Toda te ikonične podobe nas ne smejo preslepiti. Ko so na stari celini puške naposled utihnile, je bilo opustošenje resnično pretresljivo: v vsega šestih letih je umrlo od 35 do 40 milijonov ljudi. Strašljiva je bila tudi škoda, ki je povsod po celini doletela stanovanjske objekte. Od z zemljo zravnanega britanskega Coventryja prek Dresdna in Varšave do Minska Evropejci na koncu povečini niso imeli kje bivati. Kot v knjigi Podivjana celina opozarja sodobni britanski zgodovinar Keith Lowe, so do konca vojne z delovanjem prenehale malodane vse institucije, ki jih običajno povezujemo z normalnim funkcioniranjem sodobne civilizacije, med njimi državne in krajevne oblasti, policija, potniški promet, pošta, prekinjena je bila celo oskrba z najosnovnejšimi živili. Brezzakonje, bolezen, lakota in smrt vsepovsod, torej. Kako se je Evropa znašla v takem položaju? Kako je mogoče, da je po pičlih 21 letih, ki so minila od konca prve svetovne, tako imenovane vélike vojne, za katero se je nekoč celo govorilo, da si v luči opustošenja, ki ga je pustila za seboj, nihče ne bo drznil začeti novega spopada, 1. septembra leta 1939 vendarle izbruhnila še druga svetovna vojna? Kateri zgodovinski dejavniki so pravzaprav vodili v ponovni ples smrti? – Prav to vprašanje nas je zaposlovalo v tokratni Intelekti, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili tri zgodovinarje: dr. Kornelijo Ajlec, predavateljico na Oddelku za zgodovino ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete, dr. Bojana Godešo, znanstvenega svetnika pri Inštitutu za novejšo zgodovino, in dr. Egona Pelikana, znanstvenega svetnika pri Znanstveno-raziskovalnem središču Koper.

Konec novembra je Ljubljano v kontekstu 34. slovenskega knjižnega sejma obiskalo kar nekaj zvenečih imen iz tujine, med njimi britanski zgodovinar Keith Lowe pa veliki madžarski romanopisec Peter Nadas in kontroverzni ruski pisatelj Zahár Prilepin. No, v tokratnem Sobotnem branju pa smo pod drobnogled vzeli roman Lazarjeve ženske, ki ga je na sejem prišla predstavit sodobna ruska pisateljica srednje generacije Marina Stepnova. Po besedah njenega prevajalca, Boruta Kraševca, Stepnova v domovini uživa precejšen ugled, prevedli pa so jo tudi že v 28 drugih jezikov. Ta uspeh pisateljica v pomembni meri dolguje prav Lazarjevim ženskam. O čem torej govori njen roman? – Govori o prekletstvu genialnosti, o krhkosti medčloveških odnosov in o magični moči urejenega, toplega doma. Vse to, kajpada, na ozadju velike in strašne ruske zgodovine dvajsetega stoletja. Več o Lazarjevih ženskih pa v oddaji, ki jo je pripravil Goran Dekleva. foto: Goran Dekleva
