Professor Pascale R. Bos joins Jonathan to discuss the Holocaust and WW2.

Tune in to next week’s episode for the conclusion of their incredible conversation.

Pascale R. Bos is an Associate Professor of Germanic Studies, Netherlandic Studies, and Comparative Literature at The University of Texas, Austin.
