Lectures and History is on a break this week, so we're bringing you an episode from our Book Notes Plus podcast hosted by Brian Lamb. In this program, Brian speaks with historian Alexandria Ritchie about the Warsaw Ghetto in 1944, its tragic history, the resistance, and its place in the broader context of World War II.

Lectures in History will return next week with a brand new episode.

As a follow-up to our recent podcast regarding the life and times of Anne Frank, we ask author

Alexandra Ritchie to tell us more about the horrors of World War II and Poland.

Richie, a citizen of Canada, now lives in the city which is the title of her book, Warsaw.

Her focus is on 1944 and what was called the Warsaw Uprising. In her introduction, she writes, Himmler and Hitler had decided that the

entire population remaining in one of Europe's great capital cities was to be murdered in cold blood.

Himmler referred to Warsaw as the great abscess, which was to be completely destroyed.
