This week's difficult woman is the author and historian Anne Sebba. Her works, including Les Parisiennes and That Woman (the story of Wallis Simpson), shine a light on the lives of women who defied the odds and shaped the world in their own unique ways. With a focus on resilience, complexity, and untold stories, Sebba's books offer fresh perspectives on the women who often get lost in history.

Why was there a women's orchestra in Auschwitz, and what can that help us understand human resilience? In this deeply moving episode of the show, I speak with Anne Sebba — renowned biographer, historian, and journalist — about one of the Holocaust's most extraordinary and little-known stories: the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Anne's latest book tells the story of how a group of female prisoners were forced to form an orchestra in one of the most brutal Nazi concentration camps. They played not for celebration or escape, but as part of the machinery of terror — and yet, through music, they found a way to survive. As Anne shares, her journey into this story began with a startling personal discovery: her father was present at Bergen-Belsen shortly after its liberation. That visceral connection led her to uncover the story of Alma Rosé, the orchestra's conductor and the niece of Gustav Mahler, who used discipline and musical brilliance to save lives. We talk about the complexities of human behaviour, the ethical dilemmas of survival, and the way music — even when twisted into a tool of torture — remained a powerful expression of the human spirit. We also explore how Anne approached telling this story as someone who is neither a survivor nor the child of survivors. She explains the challenges of working with conflicting testimonies, the emotional toll of researching this subject, and why she took piano lessons while writing the book. Above all, this episode is about the resilience of the women who played in the orchestra, and the importance of telling stories that allow us to see history not just in abstract terms, but through individual lives.

Questa è la Voce di William John Bankes (1786-1855) e dell'obelisco di File che egli portò dall'Egitto in Inghilterra e che, ancora oggi, svetta nel formidabile giardino della tenuta di Kingston Lacy nel Dorset. Aristocratico, viaggiatore e fine collezionista, Bankes, con una geniale intuizione proprio sull'iscrizione dell'Obelisco di File, aggiunse un tassello fondamentale alla decifrazione dei geroglifici. Una biografia avventurosa e intrigante la sua alla quale, però, si aggiunge anche la vicenda di una grande ingiustizia. Bibliografia: G.

Sprak met Sebastian over zijn ambitie om echt iets te veranderen in het nachtleven. We zijn misschien geen Amsterdam maar we kunnen we de lat iets hoger leggen. Met de Leidse Nachtraad en Verleyding Radio wil hij Leiden verbeteren en meer op de kaart zetten. Zijn idee is vooral dat mopperen te makkelijk is dat het tijd is om actie te ondernemen.

The story of Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor is more often than not presented as a great love story: she is the woman for whom the King gave up the throne. It's precisely this oversimplification of the facts that Anne Sebba seeks to correct in her excellent new biography That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor (St. Martin's Press, 2012). The first woman to write a full biography of the Duchess, Sebba provides a much-needed rehabilitation of this polarizing figure. The bite of the title succinctly captures the bitterness and antipathy directed towards Wallis Simpson- during her life and after- but Sebba's impeccable research illuminates a woman far more complex than the popular imagination has allowed. This is myth-busting to the nth degree. With access to previously undiscovered letters, Sebba creates an account of the Duchess's life that is, at times, downright revelatory. For instance, Wallis Simpson didn't intend to marry the Prince of Wales. Who knew?! As Sebba writes: “She was not in love with Edward himself but in love with the opulence, the lifestyle, the way doors opened for her, the way he made all her childish dreams come true. She was sure it was a fairytale that would end, but while it lasted she could not bring herself to end it herself.” Ultimately, this was the stuff of tragedy rather than fairytale, but the story is riveting nonetheless. “That Woman,” an American woman who captivated a Prince to the point of obsession. As Sebba writes: “Few who knew them well would describe what they shared as love.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
