Outstanding Journalism that’s relevant to me

Kudos to Suzanne Rico for this outstanding compilation of her family’s history at the end of WWII. It’s especially intriguing to me since my own mother was the daughter of a fallen German soldier. You don’t need that familiarity though to enjoy this monumentous historical assembly of information by Suzanne and much of her family. This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I highly recommend it.
