Remember Us: Untold Stories of World War II Heroes

Please note: The audio is shaky in the beginning, but it steadies around five minutes in. The first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor. A soldier who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama only to face a new indignity. A teenager who falls in love with an American soldier. These and other long-overlooked stories are compiled by Robert M. Edsel in his latest book, Remember Us: American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II. Drawing on never-before-seen letters and diaries, Edsel brings to life his subjects in a way that will render them unforgettable. Join us for a discussion of humanity, grief, and the price of freedom then and now.
