Wer waren die Nazis? Verfolgten sie kriminelle Absichten, oder waren sie »gewöhnliche Deutsche«? Was brachte sie dazu, furchtbare Gräuel gegen wirkliche oder eingebildete Feinde zu begehen oder zu billigen? Warum waren so viele Deutsche an den Verbrechen beteiligt? Wie kam es, dass sie Hitler fast bis zum Ende folgten? Der renommierte Historiker Richard J. Evans zeichnet oft verblüffend neue Porträts der Männer und Frauen, die NS-Deutschland schufen und ihm dienten.

"XX Discorsi" è il podcast che accompagna l’ascoltatore in un viaggio nella RetoStoria, la storia interpretata attraverso la retorica dei grandi discorsi. I fatti del XX secolo sono illustrati attraverso i discorsi pronunciati dai suoi protagonisti. Dal discorso del presidente statunitense Thomas Woodrow Wilson, che nel 1918 provò a “progettare” un mondo in pace, fino all’ultimo discorso di François Mitterand del 1995, che chiuse idealmente il secolo.

Wolfgang Kos erzählt das 20. Jahrhundert in 99 besonderen Liedern. Der historische Scheinwerfer richtet sich auf Zeitstimmungen, Lebensbedingungen und Moden ebenso wie auf kollektive Sehnsüchte, Ängste und neue Ideen, die mittels Songs unter die Leute kamen. In den Songs spiegeln sich Armut und Wohlstand, Konsumträume und Weltschmerz, gesellschaftliche oder Generationskonflikte. Songs "wirken", weil sie emotionale Identifikation bieten und unmittelbarer als andere Kulturmedien ihre Zeit und ihre Welt auf den Punkt bringen.

Il 25 aprile festeggiamo la liberazione dall'occupazione nazista nel 1945. Nel 1939 i tedeschi hanno iniziato l'invasione di tutto il continente e solo nel 1943 è iniziata la riscossa degli eserciti alleati. Ci vorranno ancora due sanguinosissimi anni, ma gli eserciti degli Alleati si incontrano il 26 aprile del 1945 a Torgau. Il giorno dopo i sovietici entrano a Berlino. Il 30 aprile Hitler si suicida nel bunker e l'8 maggio 1945 i generali della Wehrmacht chiedono la resa e finisce la Seconda guerra mondiale.

"Non abbiamo più un popolo, una patria, un bene comune, un comune ideale. Il ricordo della Resistenza non solo è lontano, ma serve di pretesto retorico agli uni e agli altri". Questo scriveva il 15 luglio 1950 don Primo Mazzolari, uno dei primi a segnalare il rapido dissolversi dello spirito unitario e patriottico della Resistenza dopo la fine della collaborazione governativa fra democristiani, comunisti, socialisti e gli altri partiti antifascisti; dopo l'inizio della guerra fredda, la vittoria delle elezioni della Democrazia Cristiana del 1948 e l'adesione dell'Italia alla Nato.

Di fronte al 25 aprile, alla Liberazione, uno dei concetti su cui bisogna riflettere è forse il più complesso all'interno della nostra storia sociale, civile e politica: il concetto di libertà. Che è alla base della nostra costituzione, che l'ha ispirata. Ma quante sono le libertà? Ci sono la libertà individuale e collettiva: possono esse sovrapporsi? Come si collega questo concetto alla cultura? E come è stata intesa all'interno della Resistenza?

Circa 75 sono ebrei detenuti in base all'ordine generale di rastrellamento e in attesa di essere avviati a un campo di concentramento, molti sono prigionieri politici presi dalle celle di Regina Coeli, altri da via Tasso, altri ancora rastrellati per strada e numerosi sono detenuti per reati comuni.
