Making Sense of History

Making Sense of Anzac Part 3


Listen Later

In the final episode of Making Sense of Anzac, Nick Eckstein and Brad Manera discuss the impulse which, almost since the battle ended, has driven so many Australians to revisit the scene of the military disaster at Anzac Cove. What knowledge do older and younger Australians carry with them on this pilgrimage? What is the power of individual stories, and how does the experience of literally 'being there' change those who make the journey?

The Ode of Remembrance reading is voiced by Dr Vanessa Witton.
