Esplorare la geografia degli insediamenti ebraici in Italia significa percorrere quasi duemila anni di storia, imbattendosi in presenze ora sradicate per sempre, ora interrotte ma ripristinate dopo secoli, ora rimaste quasi immutate. Si comincia con le giudecche, i quartieri aperti dove gli ebrei si mescolavano ai cristiani, senza limitazioni, per arrivare ai ghetti, ovvero i quartieri chiusi da mura e portoni in cui gli ebrei vissero la loro separatezza fino ai tempi moderni.

Tra il 1926 e il 1943 l'Italia è disseminata di luoghi di confino: isole, da cui fuggire è più difficile, ma anche borghi arroccati e sperduti nell'Abruzzo-Molise e nel Sud, dove il regime fascista invia gli oppositori e successivamente anche gli ebrei. Luoghi desolati, abitati da contadini spesso analfabeti, stupefatti all'arrivo di gente ammanettata come delinquenti. Oggi le isole di Ponza, Ventatene, Lipari, Lampedusa, e le Tremiti, così come i paesini di montagna, sono mete turistiche in cui nulla sembra evocare quel doloroso passato.

Tremila ebrei costretti a vivere dentro una frazione del rione Sant'Angelo, quattro isolati in tutto, uniti al resto della città da cancelli. Lo decide papa Paolo IV Carafa nel 1555 e la segregazione sopravvive per tre secoli, a dispetto degli stravolgimenti della storia, a dispetto della popolazione che continua a crescere fino ad accogliere tutti gli ebrei dello Stato Pontificio, deportati a Roma. Non si poteva uscire dal ghetto di notte, non si potevano svolgere lavori comuni.

17 febbraio 1600: il filosofo Giordano Bruno, condannato per eresia dall'Inquisizione romana, brucia, spogliato nudo, legato a un palo e imbavagliato, in Piazza Campo de' Fiori. Ad ardere sul rogo non è un cristiano qualunque, come Roma non è solo la capitale dello Stato della Chiesa ma anche il centro della cristianità. Bruno è un personaggio cosmopolita, amico di principi e ambasciatori, una figura europea di grande fama e livello intellettuale, noto ovunque.

Estate 1944. Lungo la Linea gotica si consuma la parte più feroce della guerra in Italia, una serie di eccidi orribili per mano dei nazifascisti. A San Terenzo Monti, paese di poche centinaia di abitanti tra Liguria, Emilia e Toscana, vengono uccise senza pietà 159 persone, in prevalenza donne e bambini, l’esecuzione accompagnata dal suono di un organetto.

Anna Funder’s best-selling Stasiland brings us extraordinary tales of real lives in the former East Germany. She meets Miriam, who tried to escape to West Berlin as a 16-year-old; hears the heartbreaking story of Frau Paul, who was separated from her young baby by the Berlin Wall; and gets drunk with the legendary ‘Mik Jegger’ of the East, once declared by the authorities – to his face – ‘no longer to exist’. And she meets the Stasi men themselves, still proud of their surveillance methods.

American Civil Wars takes listeners beyond the battlefields and sectional divides of the US Civil War to view the conflict from outside the national arena of the United States.

Część ukraińskich intelektualistów znalazła się w okopach, gdzie o europejskość swojego kraju walczą w dosłownym znaczeniu słowa. Pozostali wszystkim, którzy chcą słuchać, tłumaczą rzeczy dla Ukraińców oczywiste – że ta wojna nie zaczęła się ani w 2022, ani w 2014. Wśród nich jest Oksana Zabużko, która 23 lutego wpadła z krótką wizytą do Warszawy, i tak w dniu inwazji została „pisarką w podróży”. Od tamtego dnia powtarza: Rosja do takiego stopnia nie może pogodzić się z niepodległością Ukrainy, że chce ni mniej, ni więcej, tylko tego, żeby Ukraina nie istniała.
