Coming soon from The National WWII Museum, Antisemitism: The Fight in WWII America is a five-part podcast series exploring the battle against antisemitism in prewar America and during World War II as well as the legacy of these efforts, which continue today.

We begin in 1938, examining voices who were sympathetic to Nazism, while also highlighting voices who raised public awareness of the ongoing mass murder of Europe's Jewish populations. The first two episodes examine American groups sympathetic to the Nazi; the next two focus on organizations that countered antisemitism during the war. The fifth and final episode looks at the legacy of liberation today.

This is D-Day, as told through the real voices of those who were in Normandy on June 6, 1944. The National WWII Museum's archival collection features over 12,000 personal narratives, including voices of those who fought on D-Day.

In this special episode of World War II On Topic, Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy Senior Historian Mark Calhoun, PhD, and Distinguished Fellow Rob Citino, PhD, discuss the legacy of D-Day, 80 years after the consequential invasion of Normandy began.

In this special season of World War II On Topic, The National WWII Museum will explore J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project, and the history and ramifications of the atomic bomb.

The anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima was August 6. In this episode, we hear from two extraordinary people who experienced the bombing, albeit from vastly different perspectives. While much has been written and said on the subject, these are firsthand recollections, excerpted from the oral histories given by Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk and Ittsei Nakagawa.

Van Kirk was the navigator on the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. He was the last surviving member of the Enola Gay crew before his death in 2014.

Nakagawa was a Japanese American from California who got stuck in Japan due to the war. He was there, in Hiroshima, on that fateful day and survived to tell his experience.

These oral histories were recorded by the Museum and provide a first-person look into the lives of those who experienced these amazing and terrifying events.

In this episode, we take a closer look at Lieutenant General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project. While a lot of interest is rightfully set on Oppenheimer, Groves proves to be an interesting character and pivotal player in the development of the bomb.

During the Museum's 2015 International Conference, Dr. Robert Norris, author of Racing for the Bomb: General Leslie R. Groves, the Manhattan Project's Indispensable Man, spoke about Groves and his role in the Manhattan Project.
