History and Memory on the Eastern Front of WWII
The Eastern Front remains an opaque part of World War II history in the West, in part because it resists simple interpretation. Historical novelist Amanda McCrina talks about her research into the complex wartime history of a specific region of what was then eastern Poland and is now western Ukraine, and about how differing memories and understandings of the war continue to affect geopolitics in Poland, Ukraine, and Russia today.
