Liberation Route Europe

The 6th June 2019 marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy, so in this podcast episode we take a look at how the Second World War is memorialised across Europe, and the importance of doing so. We speak with Joe Staines, one of the authors of our upcoming Travel the Liberation Route Europe Guide, and writer Louisa Adjoa-Parker, to discuss how different European countries were affected, and listen to some of the lesser-heard histories of the Second World War. By examining this part of history through a wider narrative lense, we can recognise the complexity of both the realities and atrocities committed. It’s important that we retell and record these stories before it’s too late – and use them, to pay attention to the world around us. This episode was hosted by Aimee White (@aimeefw) and produced by Femi Oriogun-Williams of Reduced Listening (reducedlistening.co.uk).
