Summary
In this episode of History Shorts Conversations, historian and bestselling author Robert M. Edsel joins us to discuss his powerful new book, Remember Us — a deeply moving story about American sacrifice, Dutch liberation, and the enduring promise to never forget those who gave everything during World War II. Together, we explore the emotional bond forged between ordinary Dutch civilians and the young American soldiers who helped liberate the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. We discuss the meaning of remembrance, the fading memory of the WWII generation, and why many Dutch families still honor fallen American soldiers decades after the war ended.
