Hi, this is Rick Reiman, host of the podcast “Hijacking History” In this episode, I review the Podcast series, “The Ratline,” a program in the series “Intrigue” by BBC 4. I do not here discuss the plot lines of the story for the most part. Instead I explore the implications for the effort to prevent the nightmares of the past from repeating themselves, when that effort requires an honest and forthright confrontation with that past. “The Ratline” suggests that such a confronting is not easy and cannot be taken for granted.
