IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
-
Recently on The Low Down, you heard from humanities scholar Robert Young, who had lectured at the Columbia Global Center in Amman and recounted the story of Walter Benjamin, a German Jew who fled Nazi Germany but was caught at the border of France and Spain, where he resorted suicide rather than be sent back.
During the lecture, Young played a clip from Casablanca, drawing parallels between the Hollywood story and the truth behind it. The Low Down created a bonus mini-episode just for it. Take a listen and follow the intertwining stories of Walter Benjamin, Humphrey Bogart, and Ingrid Bergman, as they flee south out of Europe.
