it was very important and a difficult story to tell and a difficult story to read. but it was very important to tell it because it was part of the story that women of berlin would live with this for decades "afterwards". it also explains partly why the women in berlin were so desperate for the americans and british and later the french as well. desperate for them to arrive to bring some sense of order because it's not only a city in ruins, it's a city without any government at all. without electricity or gas or water without anyone, anything. the americans in the city bringing in 25000 troops each, they are coming in to a place of total anarchy. it's important for people to realize just how trashed the city was at the end of the second world war. even when the armies arrived, the soldiers they had never seen anything like berlin. nothing like in the city. >> is such a fascinating contrast in the book between pat, gorgeous detail and i felt like it was like that. with the houses the people took over, leaders of the army set themselves up nice and headquarters of cour

the story is always sort of in the background in the rabbi story was a little bit better now and so romance was a part of it but i didn't really know bruce family story very well been so when i finally decided that another book might be something that i would want to do, i thought if i'm going to do another book, has to be a topic that they care about very much and has to be a great story and it has to be in on the subject in a fine sort of endlessly fascinating and interesting and certainly limits to that with the story. then i started to talk to both of them and they said sure, yes if you want to write a book okay but really just became about my conversation and i was introduced into her family and who the futures friend in this book, and i was introduced to her friend. not just how they survived the holocaust how they survived in the forest but really just to an incredible people they were and i think that that is another component to this book that i hope that people may get to know and getting to know what kind of people they work. >> i think that the great thing about the book is a hu

i realized that story was so shaky what other stories i felt were really necessary to me were shaky.d i reclaim my own story so that my stories cannot be used against me as weapons in the future? that was something i very intentionally set out to do. in the case about my stepmother revealed in terms of my father's death, a lot of the book moves back and forth we actually lived in uganda during the aids epidemic there. i could recall some of the harmful narrative that i heard i'd not paid attention to hearing at the time i was absorbing them. it was a reminder to me of how we drink from poisoned groundwater in terms of the tort stories we tell ourselves. and then once i realized it became a process of undoing the stories within myself as well. >> i thought i burned with anger absently through the book start to finish. ninety at the moment when you're stepmother says this to you, i had not ranked cancer versus aids in my mind of what she thought she was signifying was a betrayal of her which would then represent also the betrayal because you're not known about it. i thought it was incr

stories of individuals and for me, these individuals stories from abuse stories of men and women whoen are not very well known and achieve remarkable things in their lifetime, these are the stories that interest me more than the collections of documents of the state which of course are important and interesting for this framework of the book but what gives the meat of the book is the stories of individual account, people and will in july 1945 when the americans and british arrive and they describe it and all of the details of it. what the weather was like, what they ate for lunch, maybe enable you to bring life to the story. so imperial war museum is one archives like that. army in pennsylvania is another one like that because unlike the national archives in d.c., they've gone out of their way to collect diaries and memoirs and that's where general howley conflict set of diaries, he writes great detail not just about the politics of berlin at the time but what he's wearing, but the atmosphere of the meeting was like and all of, absolutely wonderful. it should be said where these four

your story? >> because i felt like it is my history, you know, i am and my mother are and we all are part of that history. as someone who tries to write history in a way that includes more voices and more people that are not great speakers, i have these stories that are about people like that that i have grown up with so i decided to include them for that reason. i just feel like, i feel like the book is some kind of culmination. i came to cuba for a very personal reason. i spent 30 years writing these books that are, you know, still history from below, but i really did not insert myself and them. they are more traditional in that way. i just felt like it was time to bring them together. that story is why he ended up doing history in the first place. a history for my mother. >> i think about that. i have thought about that so much. i would say over the last, pretty much since i started writing this book. i was also thinking of our friends who have written about the question of how much do we inse

in terms of ben's story, i did have one observation.dia's kind of the theranos of the media space. it has come down quite quickly. it had a founder that all people wanted to believe in. for a variety of reasons. and it kind of played fast and loose like a lot of start—ups in silicon valley did. so, as i was reading ben's fascinating coverage, i was having flashbacks to the wall streetjournal report from years ago on theranos. just to update us what is the actual state of play right now with ozy media? they shut down friday. the ceo then came on monday and un—shut it down— and compared the company to lazarus who jesus rose l from the dead. and are now facing lawsuits from investors who would l like to shut back down and give them their money please. - ok. the reason we asked about... i asked what this whole notion of what this whole notion of the public is interested in is because that is the kind of investigative journalism that i can argue all four of you do. i mean, alexandra from the economist, frances haugen, the former facebook emp

everybody has a story. their stories are dramatically different because they suffer tremendous hardship, but from them, i gave insights about how to live life. about how to not take education for granted or everyday for granted and i find that in judaism, the reminder for me, my favorite prayer, which i say every night at bed, allow me to go to bed in peace. i translated the following way. the well me to put my head on my pillow tonight and peace. being a piece with what i did today. the part of hope is, allow me to wake up tomorrow renewed it to life and to relationships again. that is a hopeful prayer and these people have really taught me and they continue to teach me that one has that strength, one has to have resilience, one has to have courage, and we all can shape a life that we want and when they the ocean,, they all talk about, they been lucky, but i had, they knew what to do with their book. they didn't squander it. they got a break and they walked right into it and went with it. >> i think that e

so, this story is about the way that it's a story that we kind of know who studies higher education and knew about the exclusion of african-americans and even at the g.i. bill this book tells a story in a gripping way and details i had no idea about so it was a really important one. when the u.s. higher education was expanding which created all these state universities including the university of alabama these were created at a time of legal segregation and state universities in order to expand higher education and this is way back in the second half of the century and then fast fast-forward, 1944 g.i. bill higher education is seen as a tool for social mobility, but doesn't have a nondiscrimination clause so this is under legal segregation. so there's a devastating story of an attempt over and over again to gain access to equitable higher education and particularly in the south although he points out in the north there is always one or two or three admitted but they were also effectively shut out if not by law than other mechanisms. the southern politician, the university administrators

i also wanted to hear ray's story and he tells his own story and the podcast. host: how do you find these people to talk to? how do you get people to tell you their stories? guest: we find them in a range of ways. they come to us and we are at economichardship.org. we have an address where you can send an pages. a lot of people came straight from the flush pile. that is what they call it in the business. then we find people from things like twitter storms or mass tweets. i will look on the tweets of veterans who are tweeting and look for really good writers on their or -- on there or small journals like blog sort of things. who is writing about their experience on income inequality firsthand? then there are a ton of layoffs. unfortunately, there is a shortage. there's a lot of hedge fund type buying up newspapers, trying to turn more than 20% profit on them who have laid off their experienced reporters in different parts of the country. some of the people come to us. host: mr. suarez, being a broadcaster yourself, you are on one side of the mic and are pulled i

the story is very important story but the - is very important story but the chaos in afghanistan andto get people back to their offices and stop people working at home. i have to say it's a fantastic story in the mail on sunday always gives us good stories but some people will think it's a little bit tenuous possibly. can it really be in the case of the biggest problem the evacuation from afghanistan was too many people work from home? it does look like the campaign is leaving the news agenda on this occasion if people will forgive me saying that. i would actually forgive _ forgive me saying that. i would actually forgive you _ forgive me saying that. i would actually forgive you and - forgive me saying that. i would i actually forgive you and probably agree if i was allowed to. but i'm not so... let's move to the sunday telegraph. fresh face, some are just that we are a bit giddy. you try being in here at this time of night. the sunday telegraph, johnson faces fresh, this is what people turn up for. the giddiness. the sunday telegraph, johnson faces fresh brexit clash with judges. t

we are excited to be telling the stories one of which is of world war ii and the story of all of the shipwrecks is really the story of america's rises a superpower can very simply the story of united states big uss monitor for example was the 1 iron warships that signaled the u.s. transition to an industrial technological giant to build this prototype vessel to change the world. the monitor is not the only shipwreck off of cape hatteras. we had battleships associated with air marshal billy mitchell. these battleships tell the story of america's introduction is a world naval power and ushered in a transition to carrier warfare. after their lifespan they were actually decommissioned and used to target vessels where general mitchell use this new invention to drop tom's on these battleships to prove a small mosquito could indeed think some of the most powerful weapons of any nation. it was a huge transition going from these battleships to carrier warfare. also in these racks that help to story -- tell the story on the world stage just as we did to help our allied forces in the most promi

it's impactful to a lot of these veterans, so that's why it's important for your story--stories like get out. carlos: well, and i felt that myself. i mean, you know, that we are still struggling. i mean, i hear stories still of people who've gone off to serve, even though they weren't yet seen as citizens. they were still residents of this country and then they're being denied their citizenship afterwards, and their families are being told that they're going to be deported. and i wonder, you know, at what point, how much sacrifice do we have to make to be considered equal? and that's frustrating, it's disturbing, and i would hope that as people hear more stories like this, will remember what i learned in the army, and that was the only color that we recognized was green. and that was our uniforms and i would think that that was what would be what's important. we all bleed the same color and we all wore the same uniform and we all took the same risks and so, to come back and be denied. these guys weren't allowed to join the same veterans of foreign wars club, the vfw club, as others s

what is your top news story of the week?olyn calling from alexandria, virginia of the democratic line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am calling because i never realized how white people are so dumb. they blame everything on the democrats. biden hadn't been in office that long and if you know anything about the government, everything pulls from that president did the new president. you have to work nine months to a year to get that straightened out. the public knows that but i never thought they were so dumb. every time they want to get into office they want to do with they want to do. i have to give trump one credit. immigration is playing a good part in our economy and what is going on in america. i got to believe you would go to another country and help immigrants you would help american people. people are losing their homes, places burning down, flooded, where these people going to go? but they are going to find homes and bring them over here and pay for them to be in homes. i cannot believe the united states woul

i tell you a story about betty rod. i may broaden because there isn't enough conversation about women in the unfairness of our system. she was to make that 2nd re murder and spent nearly 30 years of her life in jail without the opportunity of parole for shooting and killing a man who threatened to kill her with a gun attacked her and sexually assaulted her multiple times inside of her own apartment, over the course of the night, she got a hold of his gun and she was able to kill her attacker. big about that, you can hear folks from all over the country, talk about standing your ground. in this instance, she was convicted by nanina, missouri. we were able to address it, looked into all the facts of the case. she should have never been arrested. right? if, if a man was raped in his home and shot his attack and we'd probably get a key to the city. but doing this work has allowed us to actually dig deep or not. and just sort of by finding some, some easy cookie cutter approach, but actually building out the entire civil rig

i tell her story it's an extraordinary story of what she went through. there is a point very early in her story where she actually sees although a lot of the killing of the chickens one of the first job she gets at the slaughterhouse is hoisting these onto the slaughterhouse. they passed through an area where their slopes are slips, they are de- feathered without any workers there pray they just come out the other side. and then at that point they're going to be dismembered, claims, all of that. some of the birds don't make it through that. even through the throat slitting the execution is all very graphic i'm sorry. until the birds to make it out they are still alive. there is a person whose job at that point to kill the bird, if it makes it through unto literally slashes throat with a knife just as in a beef slaughterhouse there is a person who operates the bolt gun that kills the cow. the first time she sees this she cries for she says to herself i'm never going to eat chicken again. that concern quickly goes away she's an undocumented immigrant she's
