The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history. It left Europe in ruins, its economies severely damaged and millions of its people facing malnutrition, its political systems shaken if not destroyed.

At the end of World War I, Canada was poised on the brink of social revolution. At least that is what many Canadians, inspired by the success of the Russian Revolution in 1917, hoped - and others dreaded.

Educada para aparentar y no para vivir su vida, la mujer de la época, sirvienta del hogar, enfocó el matrimonio como objetivo excluyente.

These interviews, conducted in 2004, will never be repeated, as the youngest was 106 years old, and most are now gone.

La otra historia de México: Hidalgo e Iturbide, es la otra historia de México, donde sus héroes y heroínas no son de bronce o mármol, sino hombres y mujeres sujetos a la grandeza y las miserias de la condición humana. Es aquella que nos permite replantearnos quien es el verdadero Padre de la Patria y cuestionar el papel de los llamados villanos y traidores que señalan los libros de texto.
