In the Indiana Jones movies, Indiana is usually searching for a rare artifact with mystical powers while some other nefarious archeologist, usually a Nazi, is trying to find the artifact before Indy.
Believe it or not, that trope of a Nazi archeologist looking for an item of incredible power actually has a kernel of truth to it.
Sort of.
Learn more about Otto Rahn and the real-life Nazi search for the Holy Grail on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Nikole Hannah Jones and Adam Rubin aim to make children’s books more accessible
Our interviews today are both children's books and even though they are about wildly different topics, they both aim to make reading more accessible for kids. Nikole Hannah Jones, with the help of Renee Watson, has turned the 1619 Project into a picture book called Born On The Water. They told NPR their goal was "to say to young people - to young Black Americans, you belong here." Next, Adam Rubin has written a collection of short stories that are all different but have the same title: The Ice Cream Machine. Rubin told NPR's Rachel Martin that there are so many ways to tell a story.

In the winter of 1932 and 1933, one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in human history occurred in what was then the province of Ukraine in the Soviet Union.
Millions of people died, yet the event was ignored in most of the western press and wasn’t even officially acknowledged by the Soviet government until the 1980s.
Today, most people in the world still aren’t aware of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.
Learn more about the Holodomor and the engineered famine that killed millions of people, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - The History Behind Chicago’s Free Theater
The Free Theater was an ensemble group that put on non-traditional, avant-garde theatrical productions in Chicago from 1968 to 1974. Like its name suggests, the shows were free and no auditions were required. Productions took on the politics of the time. Curious City reporter Adriana Cardona-Maguigad digs into the group’s history and looks at what low cost and accessible theater looks like nowadays in Chicago.
NPR's Book of the Day - Author Bernardine Evaristo confides in the reader in new memoir, ‘Manifesto’
Author Bernardine Evaristo wrote the Booker prize winning novel Girl, Woman, Other. But before she did, like way before, she was incredibly unsure of herself or how she - as someone with a Black father and white mother - fit into her mostly white town. Even still, Evaristo always knew she had something important to say. She lays out those early struggles and how she overcame them in her new memoir, Manifesto: On Never Giving Up. Evaristo told NPR's Michel Martin that she has always been a private person but sharing so many of her secrets for the reader was very liberating.
