Echoes From the past interview

18 July 2026

I was delighted to talk with Dr Christopher Probst, who produces the weekly Substack publication Echoes from the Past. I met 'Chris' in the early 2000s when we were both doctoral students and have remained in touch ever since.

Echoes from the Past reflects on tough issues like the Holocaust, genocide and antisemitism, but it also covers a broad range of historical topics such as the women of British Intelligence.
