Edo Spanninga delivered The Past is a Foreign Country, a deeply thoughtful musical meditation on how the past influences us, and we keep making the same mistakes over and over.

I have chosen Wannsee (1933-1945), the Wannsee Conference of 1942 being held for senior Nazi officials to discuss the appalling implementation of The Final Solution. As I said in my review, let us never forget what was inflicted upon Jews in our continent still in some people’s lifetime, the threat of a repeat very much a reality in the modern world.
