About the Archivist

This is History calling! Actually, my name is Jay and I’m chasing my bachelors degree at Arizona State University.

I am a historian, albeit an amateur one. I write on behalf of no institution. What I have are books. This podcast is the culmination of twenty years of studying, reading, notating, and plain old fashioned learning.

My goal is not to declare final truths; this period will continue to surprise us with new documents and new discoveries for decades to come. My goal is to tell the story of Nazi Germany as its people lived it.

This podcast might make you angry. It might make you sad. But we can’t change the past.
