Double Agents in the Middle East
The Spying Game, Episode 6: Double Agents in the Middle East
JODHI MAY: Double Agents in the Middle East.
NADAV SCHIRMAN: We are all spies. When somebody goes to the office and leaves his wife or his husband and his family at home and goes to work, he puts on a mask. He becomes somebody else. He's not the same person that he is at home.
GAD SHIMRON: I had a permit from the government, from a sovereign government, to be a criminal.
NADAV SCHIRMAN: They sit him down in the chair and I start the interview and he starts crying. They never laughed at me again after that.
GAD SHIMRON: Forget James Bond. James Bond has nothing to do with the real world. In 90 minutes, he solves everything. Spying is mostly waiting. I've been interrogated. I've been shot at. There were shaky moments in this. But it's all gone. They say, “Yesterday's history, tomorrow is a mystery.” That's why today's called the ‘present’. So let's enjoy the present.
RORY BREMNER: Now, if you think of exfiltration missions, you're likely to think of clandestine meetings, false passports, smuggling agents, or captives over the border at night. But today, I'm joined by a man who decided to do things on a much gra

Come to This Court and Cry
'Part detective story, part family history, part probing inquiry into how best to reckon with the horrors of a previous century, Come to This Court and Cry is bracingly original, beautifully written and haunting. An astonishing book' Patrick Radden Keefe,author of Empire of Pain

To probe the past is to submit the memory of one's ancestors to a certain kind of trial.
In this case, the trial came to me.
A few years ago Linda Kinstler discovered that a man fifty years dead - a former Nazi who belonged to the same killing unit as her grandfather - was the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation in Latvia.
