Megan Spencer presents a journey of historical empathy in a six-part series about war, remembrance, and an Australian prisoner of war. This podcast walks a mile in the shoes of Corporal H.B. “Harry” Spencer, Megan’s grandfather, a prisoner of the Germans in the Second World War. Her conversations with family, historians, serving members, battlefield “pilgrims”, Indigenous culture custodians, and experts on empathy invite the audience to contemplate remembrance and to ask: do we remember well?

The IAJGS Records Access Alert has posted about privacy numerous times. Recently, the German Post Office announced they will convert letters and postcards and send them via email if requested. This is a digitization pilot program by Germany's national post. The customer must forfeit their privacy to use this e-scan service. The Deutsche Post promotion price for e-scan services will cost 5 Euros (about US $5.74) per month, until July. The cheapest of the private services currently costs almost twice, according to the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
