We’re heading back to the “Blood
Lands” of Eastern Europe for a sobering discussion of the uses and
abuses of the history of the holocaust from an ecological and
global perspective. We discuss Timothy Snyder’s Black Earth:
The Holocaust as History and Warning with special guest Andrew
Behrendt. A great listen for teachers who are grappling with
how to apply the lessons of the 20th-century with their
students.
