And the Cello Came Too is both a personal memoir and a family chronicle, spanning centuries of Jewish life in Europe, its near-destruction under the Nazis and its slow rebirth in the years after the Second World War. At its heart is the award-winning journalist and broadcaster’s father, Fritz Lustig, a refugee from Berlin whose cello accompanied him through upheaval, war and a new life in Britain.

In the vast and unforgiving landscapes of the Second World War, few military formations have attracted as much attention, debate, and controversy as the Waffen-SS.

Yet behind the reputation lies a far more complex and challenging story.

В марте 1939 г., на пороге Второй мировой войны, конклав кардиналов собрался в Сикстинской капелле, чтобы выбрать нового папу римского—Пия XII, чья фигура до сих пор вызывает споры. Критики обвиняют его в том, что он сотрудничал с Гитлером и Муссолини и бездействовал во время холокоста. Защитники папы считают, что его благоразумие спасло множество жизней, а сам он достоин причисления к лику святых. Аудиокнига историка и антрополога, лауреата Пулитцеровской премии Дэвида Керцера—это попытка ответить на вопрос о роли Пия XII во время войны непредвзято и аргументированно.
