Our collective memory of the Second World War has shifted significantly during the past 75 years, and narratives about the war can also vary enormously depending on which part of the world you’re in. This final session will explore some of the concepts that have become associated with the conflict – heroism and martyrdom, good and evil, apocalypse and rebirth – and ask how useful these ideas are in our collective understanding of what actually happened.

The session will include an introductory talk, discussion of a document picked by Keith, and an extensive Q&A. Registrants will also be sent a link to view a recording of the webinar shortly after it has ended.
