The Zone of Interest

Carolina and Robin take you through one of the worst calamities in history and the people behind it in domestic-drama-turned-holocaust-film The Zone of Interest (2023).

Politics include: literal Nazis, how there was no God in the house of the Commandant, and how Robin will (maybe) quietly compare your LinkedIn posts to a Rudolf Hoss memo to the SS.

As the 80th Anniversary of VE Day approaches, we encourage you to consider donating to organisations supporting those suffering from the atrocities of war. 

Our further recommendations:

• 'If this is a man' by Primo Levi (1947)
• 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman (1980-1991)
• 'Night' by Elie Wiesel (1960)
• 'Shoah' by Claude Lanzman (1985)
• 'Night and Fog' by Alain Resnais (1956)

And many many more...
