In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores how different nations remember the Second World War, focusing on the stark contrast between American triumphalism and European melancholy.Drawing on Keith Lowe's brilliant book Prisoners of History, we delve into the cultural psychology behind monuments like the Iwo Jima Memorial. Why does America view its soldiers as "freedom warriors" and saints, while Europe often builds monuments to victims? We unpack the concept of "The Greatest Generation" and ask whether this mythology obscures the darker realities of the Pacific War.Nick also reflects on the "secular religion" of remembrance in Britain, the politicization of the poppy, and how the far-right has co-opted the memory of the war for modern nativist agendas. From the Blitz to Pearl Harbor, this episode examines how nations tell stories about themselves through stone and bronze.Plus: Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming live masterclasses for history students in early 2026!Key Topics:The Cult of Remembrance: How the poppy became politicized in 21st-century Britain.American Mythology: Why the US views WWII through a lens of heroism rather than trauma.Iwo Jima: The story behind the iconic photograph and the monument that immortalizes it.Monuments as Identity: How statues shape national narratives of victimhood and victory.Books Mentioned:Prisoners of History by Keith LoweThe Second World War by Antony Beevor (referenced contextually)Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Rabbi Professor Shomo Pereira discussed his book "Monuments of Paper and Parchment: Hebrew Printing in Portugal in the Late 15th Century." He explained that while Portugal lacks physical Jewish monuments due to natural disasters, earthquakes, and persecution, the book highlights the country's rich Jewish history through its manuscript and printing heritage of the late 15th century. He explained how Hebrew printing in Portugal was a vibrant force, contributing to the spread of knowledge and influencing printing practices in the Ottoman Empire. Pereira also detailed the contributions of Rabbi Abraham Zakuto, a Jewish scientist and astronomer who developed crucial navigational tools and was recognized for his work by having a crater on the moon named after him. Pereira discussed his book on Iberian Jewish history, emphasizing contributions to scholarship, mathematics, astronomy, and poetry during the late 1400s, when many Spanish Jews fled to Portugal. He explained his goal is to highlight these accomplishments to build bridges with non-Jewish communities and enrich Iberian history, while acknowledging the context of persecution. Pereira clarified that during this period, most Jews in Portugal were Spanish, and he uses "Iberian Jews" to reflect this diversity. Pereira emphasized the unique characteristic of Iberian commentators, who often included personal experiences in their writings, contrasting this with the more detached approach of commentators like Rashi. Pereira explained the complexity of uncovering colophons in historical Jewish texts, noting that simple colophons provide basic information about the work's completion, printer, sponsor, and date, while more sophisticated ones use cryptic biblical references that modern AI cannot translate. He discussed the challenges in interpreting colophons from historical Jewish texts, particularly those printed in 1494 and 1498 in Spain and Portugal. He explained that the dates and years in these colophons are often confused due to the use of astrological and astronomical coincidences. Rabbi Shlomo Pereira emphasized that history is about how we perceive and learn from the past, rather than just focusing on the past itself.

Literature Review: Not Just Monuments: Bussa, Adams, and Barrow are Chapters of a Living History © 2025 ISBN 978-976-97788-9-4AbstractThis literature review explores the lives and legacies of Bussa, Sir Grantley Adams, and Errol Walton Barrow, pivotal figures in Barbados's history. It examines their roles in the island's journey toward freedom, democracy, and independence, focusing on how their actions reshaped Barbados into a sovereign nation. Bussa's leadership in the 1816 slave rebellion symbolises the struggle for emancipation, while Adams's advocacy for labor rights and universal suffrage laid the groundwork for political independence. Barrow's vision as the 'Father of Independence' led to economic sovereignty and social justice. The review analyses the monuments erected in their honour as dynamic symbols that connect citizens to their past and inspire future generations. These monuments encapsulate complex histories, representing key moments such as the fight against slavery, the pursuit of labor rights, and the achievement of political independence. The 'unbreakable Barbadian spirit,' embodied by these figures, reflects resilience and unity in overcoming challenges. This review reinforces that these monuments are not merely tributes but integral components of Barbados's living history, fostering reflection on cultural and spiritual narratives that define collective identities.Dr. William Anderson Gittens,D.D.ReferencesBarbados Pocket Guide.

DUELING MONUMENTS AND THE HEART OF DARKNESS THEME Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. The feud extends into the 20th century with "dueling monuments" in Ohio, where the Cresap Society and local residents erect competing memorials near the site of Logan's Elm to debate the history. Parkinson concludes by returning to the "Heart of Darkness" theme, using Conrad's metaphor of "the flicker" to describe how people create narratives like patriotism to cope with the bewilderment of their reality. He emphasizes the role of contingency, noting how the American Revolutiontransformed violent frontiersmen like Cresap into celebrated patriots while Native Americans like Logan were marginalized.

After years of discussions, Taos, N.M. decided to remove Kit Carson's name from a widely used park in the center of town. Carson's renown as a Western frontiersman grew from greatly exaggerated tales in pulp novels and newspaper articles. Only later did his violent exploits against Navajos and other tribes emerge. He was among the main figures in the Long Walk, the forced march of 10,000 captive Navajos. More than a third of them died. In Michigan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removed a Washington Monument-style obelisk commemorating the construction of shipping locks on Lake Michigan. The obelisk sat atop the remainder of a burial ground. Lock construction destroyed the main part of the sacred area but the Bay Mills Indian Community and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians continue to hold ceremonies there. We'll talk with tribal advocates about their years-long work to change how their histories are viewed by the public. GUESTS Jeremy Lujan (Taos Pueblo), Taos Pueblo tribal secretary Jesse Winters (Taos Pueblo), Taos Pueblo second sheriff Dr. Gregorio Gonzales (Comanche and Genizaro), tribal historic preservation officer for the Pueblo of Cochiti Paula Carrick (Bay Mills Indian Community), tribal historic preservation officer for Bay Mills Indian Community Break 1 Music: Take Your Troubles to the River (song) Vincent Craig (artist) Self-titled Release (album) Break 2 Music: She Raised Us (song) Joanne Shenandoah (artist) LifeGivers (album)

Et nous terminerons notre section actualités par une conversation sur un nouveau record battu lors d'une vente aux enchères chez Sotheby's. Un tableau de Gustav Klimt a été vendu à un prix record. La pièce maîtresse de la vente a été le Portrait d'Elisabeth Lederer de Gustav Klimt, qui a été adjugé pour 236,4 millions de dollars. Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : Adjectives ending in: gu, er, el, (i)en, on, eil, and ul. Cette semaine, nous parlerons de l'inscription aux monuments historiques de deux nouveaux sites dans le sud de la France. Tous deux sont des sanctuaires religieux d'une grande richesse historique et spirituelle. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine : En mettre sa main au feu. Nous discuterons de l'entrée d'une nouvelle statue de cire au musée Grévin à Paris : celle de Lady Di, représentée vêtue de sa célèbre « revenge dress ». - Certains pays envisagent de mettre en place le même système d'immigration strict qu'au Danemark. - L'Australie adopte la première interdiction au monde des réseaux sociaux pour les moins de 16 ans - Les évolutionnistes affirment que le premier baiser remonte à plus de 16 millions d'années - Un tableau de Gustav Klimt est adjugé à un prix record lors d'une vente aux enchères organisée par Sotheby's - Deux nouveaux sites du sud de la France ont été inscrits aux Monuments historiques - La statue de cire de Lady Di fait son entrée au musée Grévin

The prophet Ezekiel received a powerful vision of a valley filled with dry bones that came to life when God breathed His Spirit into them. This vision came during Israel's darkest hour after Jerusalem's destruction, when the people felt spiritually dead and hopeless. God commanded Ezekiel to speak prophetically to the bones, and they assembled into bodies, but they still needed God's breath to truly live. This teaches us that many people around us may appear fine externally but are spiritually lifeless, desperately needing God's Spirit. As believers, we're called to be part of God's army, speaking life into dead situations through authentic relationships and bold faith. The vision also shows us the difference between being a lake church versus a river church - one that creates movement and transformation rather than just providing spiritual comfort.

Get ready for the ultimate metal debate because Rex and Duff are etching their choices in stone! This week, we're taking on the massive challenge of building our "Mount Rushmore" of Metal Musicians. Who belongs on the sacred mountain of shred? We're talking definitive lists and tough decisions across all positions: We'll be naming the four essential Metal Guitarists that defined the riff, the four Drummers who laid down the thunderous foundations, the four Bassists who commanded the low end, and maybe even a few more surprise categories! Brace yourself for some controversial omissions and bold inclusions as we finalize our pantheon of metal gods. Tune in to see if your favorite made the cut!
In part two of our conversation with French powerhouse Paul Magnier of Soudal–Quick-Step — one of the brightest young stars in professional cycling — we dive deep into the art of sprinting.Paul pulls back the curtain on the final 1,000 meters: how to read chaos, trust the lead-out, and time the winning move.We dig into aero gains — from wind-tunnel insights and bar-width experiments to 56×11 gearing and 105–110 rpm cadence — and why he practices seated accelerations at 800–1,000 watts. He also unpacks the Wolfpack mentality that trades pressure for confidence.Paul shares how he mentally reset after a heavy crash, what separates good from great sprinters, and his race-day routine. Plus: his go-to Castelli kit — the Sanremo S8 speed suit, Perfetto, Gabba, and Gavia jackets for rough weather — and why Castelli's no-logo Pro Shop pieces have become a peloton secret.If you're chasing faster finishes in crits or road races, you'll love Paul's practical sprint training cues and energy-saving tactics.

A continent-spanning empire bore down on a patchwork of rival city-states—and out of that pressure, a people discovered themselves. We follow the Greek victories over Persia from raw survival to a moral origin story, showing how memory, art, and ritual transformed urgent alliance into a lasting idea: Hellenic freedom.We start with the fragile coalition that met the Persian advance at Salamis and Plataea, then uncover how the meaning of those battles grew in the retelling. Simonides' epigrams, Pindar's odes, and Herodotus' sweeping narrative forged a panhellenic lens through which courage, divine favor, and self-rule became the Greek signature. Monuments like the Serpent Column at Delphi and offerings at Olympia turned sanctuaries into archives of unity, while annual rites at Plataea and Salamis taught that freedom must be renewed, not assumed.Athens made the memory visible. Rising from a burned Acropolis, the city reframed myth as politics on the Parthenon, casting Greeks versus Amazons and gods versus giants as a code for order resisting tyranny. At the same time, naval power rewired society. Themistocles' triremes elevated the rowers—the thetes—and widened democratic voice, seeding the Delian League and a new maritime identity. That shift sharpened the contrast with Sparta's land-first conservatism, foreshadowing rivalry even as the ideal of Hellenic liberty took root.We connect these threads to later thinkers and leaders. Thucydides uses the Persian War as a baseline of necessary unity. Plato and Isocrates hold it up as a mirror for civic virtue. Alexander taps its emotion to justify conquest. Across centuries, the wars became sacred history and a durable myth: free citizens against imperial despotism, reason over hubris. Listen for a richer view of how battles end but stories begin—and how those stories still guide debates on power, identity, and the price of freedom. If this sparked new questions or changed your view, subscribe, share, and leave a review with the one idea you'll remember most.Support the show

8. Monuments, Darkness, and Contingency Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section highlights the enduring conflict, which extended into the early 20th century through a "monument war" near Logan's Elm in Ohio. The Cresap Society funded a monument to clear their family name, leading locals to erect counter-monuments with the lament's text and a statue of Logan. Parkinson utilizes Joseph Conrad's metaphor of "the flicker" (human systems like patriotism, colonialism, and republics) attempting to illuminate the terrifying, bewildering "darkness" of the world. He notes that the aggressive colonial expansion seemed inevitable, but the specific outcomes were shaped by contingency and the biographies of individuals like Logan and Michael Cresap, whose actions were enabled and celebrated by the new American Republic. 1958
The Museum of Contemporary Art and The Brick museum in Los Angeles have opened a new concurrent exhibit, "Monuments," that "considers the ways public monuments have shaped national identity, historical memory, and current events."
