Bay Curious - La Llorona: Ghost or Protector? You Decide

But as with all stories, the meaning of the myth has changed over time and many people now see La Llorona as a protector. For spooky October, we explore the ghostly myth that frightens children and the more empowering version of the legend.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Wannsee Conference

On January 20, 1942, one of the most infamous meetings in human history took place.

Fifteen of the top-ranking Nazi officials gathered in the Berlin Suburb of Wannsee to come up with the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.”

They discussed who would be eliminated and how, without the slightest hint of emotion. 

In around ninety minutes, the fate of millions was decided.

Learn about the Wannsee Conference and how the “Final Solution” was enacted on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
