Free Thinking: Holocaust History

Series 1, episode 0

Historians continue to unearth documents, interpret new records accounts and reinterpret old ones in their light. In doing so they expand our understanding of unfolding antisemitism and the holocaust. Anne McElvoy speaks to Barbara Warnock the senior curator of the Wiener Holocaust Library, the world's oldest holocaust research institution as it marks its 90th anniversary this year. Rachel Pistol explores the emerging stories of the Jewish men interned in Britain during the Second World War. Liza Weber discusses what we can learn from the Jewish art looted by the Nazis. And Daniel Lee tells us about the lives of Jewish resisters Missak and Mélinée Manouchian, whose courage will be honoured in Paris this month
