De Val van Granada
Zevenhonderd jaar lang was het zuiden van Spanje onderdeel van een welvarend Moors koninkrijk, waarin moslims, joden en christenen samenleefden. De kunsten floreerden, de wetenschap bloeide. In 1492 komt hier een einde aan, het katholieke Spanje verovert de laatste Moorse stad: Granada. Wat volgt is een langdurig proces van vervolging en verdrijving van moslims en joden door de Spaanse inquisitie.

The Great War
1914-1918. Many millions of soldiers wrote letters to their loved ones from the trenches. Millions died in the fire and the mud. Millions came home with stories that could not be told, or could not be heard - just like after any war.
