In Europe
MARCH 9, 2009 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Jean Feraca talks with Geert Mak, the Dutch author who traveled all around Europe visiting key historic landmarks and talking to survivors and eye-witnesses in order to write his bestseller, Travels Through the Twentieth Century. "Never walk backwards into the future," he says, "Never become a victim of the past, but history is a continuity –- there are ghosts all around us -- pay attention to the patterns that repeat."
