Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] (UK) BBC Genome and Radio Times
The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) placed the Radio Times from the 1940s online. Additionally, the BBC Genome website had added listening to or watching historic broadcasts from 1923-2009 see: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/. Here you can search for BBC programs, people, dates and Radio Times editions. There are more than 5 million program listings in Genome, remembering it reflects the attitudes and standards of when the program was first aired which may be different than those of today. There is an ongoing project to link the program listings to the relevant recording thus far only 18,000 programs have been linked. To read more about this see: https://www.bbc.com/news/in-
The BBC Archive includes a lot of World War ll materials. One is from Witnessing the Holocaust, personal accounts of persecution and genocide by the Nazis. From April 1, 1945 a reporter provides a firsthand account Buchenwald Concentration Camp To hear the interview you need to run the adobe flash that they provide. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/
There are more broadcasts from the Holocaust with links on the right side of the above archival recording.
