History of Sorts

This is my interview with Bryan Mark Rigg, military historian, and author.
Bryan Mark Rigg is the author of several highly regarded books on World War II history, including Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military and The Rabbi Saved by Hitler’s Soldiers: Rebbe Joseph Isaac Schneersohn and His Astonishing Rescue.

In addition to his writing, Rigg has also worked as a professor of history at several universities, including American Military University, Southern Methodist University, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He has been a frequent contributor to various media outlets, including CNN, NPR, and The New York Times.

The subject of Jewish soldiers or soldiers of Jewish descent is always a bit of a controversial topic. However, to fully understand the complexity of the Holocaust, all aspects so be told. The Holocaust wasn’t just about good vs evil, victims and perpetrators, it is more complex than that. It never was just a black-and-white subject, there are a whole load of different shades in between. Not to address all aspects would be wrong, even if there are some uncomfortable truths. History should never be denied, ignored, or distorted.
