How much did Britain and its allies know about the Holocaust? Could the Bengal Famine of 1943 have been helped? And was Elizabeth I really the Virgin Queen?
Lynsey Calver is a history teacher, and in this episode, she helps us to fill in some of the gaps on the history curriculum.
*WARNING There are adult themes and discussions of racism and the Holocaust in this episode*
Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Joseph Knight.
