HHH Week 43 - WWII Monuments and What They Really Tell Us
This Week on History Happy Hour: It has been said that every historical monument tells two stories: one about the subject, and another about those who erected it. What do WWII monuments around the world show us about how different countries have attempted to sculpt their history over the last 75 years? Chris Anderson and Rick Beyer will explore this fascinating topic with author and historian Keith Lowe, author of "Prisoners of War: What Monuments To The Second World War Tell Us About Our History and Ourselves." Acclaimed historian Sir Max Hastings calls it “always thoughtful and evocative, sometimes controversial . . . Lowe’s sensitive, disturbing book should be compulsory reading for both statue builders and statue topplers.” A monumental topic, Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, the spot where history is always on tap.
