Memory Wars Explores Lessons in German History for American Society

Beginning Monday, February 13 - February 17 at Noon, GPB Radio will air the compelling five-part series Memory Wars across the GPB Radio Network and GPB Atlanta 88.5 FM.

Memory Wars examines how Germany has confronted its horrific past and whether America could ever do the same. Virginia Public Radio reporter Mallory Noe-Payne spent years covering policy and politics in Richmond, Virginia — the former capital of the Confederacy. Then she went to Germany.

Through a year of in-depth reporting featuring a wide range of characters, NoePayne reveals the struggles it takes for a society to change its narrative, face up to an uncomfortable past and pave the way for atonement. Featuring conversations with Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Michael Paul Williams, Memory Wars explores the lessons in German history for American society.
