A panel discussion about the impact of the First World War on the century which followed it. With Jim Mora in the chair, Associate Professor Maartje Abbenhuis, Dr Felicity Barnes, and Dr Maria Armoudian from the University of Auckland offer a range of perspectives on matters as diverse as the nature of Anzac Day commemoration, Gallipoli’s role in our nation-building, and the relative obscurity of other parts of NZ’s First World War history. The timing of the Armenian genocide committed by the Turkish authorities, and its role in providing a model for Hitler’s final solution is also explored in a lively session recorded in front of an audience at the Auckland Museum.
