Episode 5: Politics versus the Past

Misha Glenny explores the European memory wars.

Misha Glenny explores a number of political divides facing Europe and asks whether the continent is undergoing the same crises it went through in the 1930s.

In this final episode, he explores the memory wars where extreme voices look to revise our understanding of past atrocities. In Spain, he hears from archaeologists on the front line of unearthing - literally - victims of Francoist repression. And historians in Croatia describe war crimes at a concentration camp run by Croatian fascists in WWII and explain how it has become an explosive political football.
