The Ends of War - Erinnerung an den Holocaust
80 years after the end of the Second World War, we take a look at the memory of the Holocaust. In this episode of our Podcast series ‘The Ends of War’, we talk to Magdalena Saryusz-Wolska (GHI Warsaw) about forgotten sites of the Holocaust and Anna-Carolin Augustin (GHI Washington) about the history of Jewish ritual objects that survived as displaced objects. How do we remember these crimes today? And what significance do objects - witnesses to the past - carry?

The Ends of War - Emigration und Kriegsflüchtlinge
80 years after the end of the Second World War, we take a look at global migration movements before, during and after the war. Together with Simone Lässig (GHI Washington) and Richard Wittmann (Orient-Institute Istanbul), we talk about the escape routes from Nazi Germany and Europe. Based on the moving stories of Heinrich Hartmut Arnhold and Traugott Fuchs, we will shed light on the challenges of exile and on the historical background to migration. In this episode, you will find out why it is important to take a global view of these migration movements.

The Ends of War - Ostasien und der Nahe Osten
80 years after the end of the Second World War, we take a look at two often overlooked theatres of war: the Pacific War and the African Campaign. In this episode of our Podcast series 'The Ends of War' we talk to Torsten Weber (DIJ Tokyo) about the memory of the Second World War in East Asia and to Thomas Würtz (OI Beirut) about the Battle of El Alamein and its significance in the Middle East. How is the war remembered in these regions? And what new challenges arise for historical memorial sites?
