WW2 Aftermath
<p>Reminiscent of the 1990s conflict in former Yugoslavia, our tv news has been filled with pictures of suffering civilians in the Ukrainian war. As pundits debated the possibility of WW3, we look at what was going on in Europe in the aftermath of the last global conflict. The mainstream British narrative of WW2 ends neatly in May 1945 with the official end of hostilities in Europe, but for years afterwards the continent was convulsed with conflicts - some of which predated what we in Britain call WW2 – as well as famine, revenge attacks and ethnic cleansing.</p><br><p>Welcome to You Haven’t Heard the Half of It, where we uncover the hidden half of history.

Jewish women resistance fighters in WW2
<p>History often casts Jews as a passive victim, whether it is the pogroms or the Holocaust. A brilliant new book called the Light of Days by Judy Batalion reframes this narrative. But It’s a complex situation that gets tangled up in different Jewish factions, survivors’ guilt and the positioning of women’s narratives more generally.</p><br><p>Welcome to You Haven’t Heard the Half of It, where we uncover the hidden half of history.
