In a time where Jews are the most represented group in reported hate crimes in Canada, learning about the history of the Holocaust is essential. How do we ensure that people have an accurate understanding of this dark period of history, and what will educators do differently when there are no survivors left to tell their stories firsthand?

In "Playing Shylock", an actor starring in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" is interrupted and told the show has been cancelled.

From the Egyptians and Persians to the Romans and even Alexander the Great, the island of Cyprus has been ruled by a revolving door of empires. Today, it is partitioned between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. How did we get here? What caused this island to be carved into two? And why does it remain divided?

With animated maps and guest Major-General Alain Forand, this episode of Forgotten War digs into the millennia-old history of Cyprus and the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974 that led to its partition.
