  • New Book Details America’s Deadliest Day in WWII
    Oct 28 2024

    Bradley W. Hart, PhD, Military Historian, talks with Rona Simmons, author of No Average Day: The 24 Hours of October 24, 1944, which chronicles the US Armed Forces’ single deadliest day of World War II. More than 2,600 Americans perished around the world on October 24, 1944—more than on any other single day of the conflict—yet the day remains overshadowed by more widely remembered dates in WWII history.

  • Antisemitism: The Fight in WWII America
    Sep 19 2024

    Coming soon from The National WWII Museum, Antisemitism: The Fight in WWII America is a five-part podcast series exploring the battle against antisemitism in prewar America and during World War II as well as the legacy of these efforts, which continue today.

    We begin in 1938, examining voices who were sympathetic to Nazism, while also highlighting voices who raised public awareness of the ongoing mass murder of Europe’s Jewish populations. The first two episodes examine American groups sympathetic to the Nazi; the next two focus on organizations that countered antisemitism during the war. The fifth and final episode looks at the legacy of liberation today.

Love this series

I don't live close to the museum, but love they give you access to their events remotely. These all tend to be led by experts who keep the topics on track, filling in background info when needed. A rare chance to hear from authors and 1st hand participants.
