Story
In the 1960s, its colonial instinct ignited once more: a secret decision was taken to offer the US a base at Diego Garcia, one of the islands of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, create a new colony (the 'British Indian Ocean Territory') and deport the entire local population. One of those inhabitants was Liseby Elysé, 20 years old, newly married, expecting her first child. One suitcase, no pets, the British ordered, expelling her from the only home she had ever known.

Story
As governor of Galicia, SS Brigadesführer Otto Freiherr von Wächter presided over an authority on whose territory hundreds of thousands of Jews and Poles were killed. By the time the war ended in May 1945, he was indicted for 'mass murder'. He spent three years hiding in the Alps before making his way to Rome and being taken in by the Vatican where he remained for three months. While preparing to travel to Argentina on the 'ratline' he died unexpectedly, in July 1949, a few days after having lunch with an 'old comrade' whom he suspected of having been recruited by the Americans.

Story
Killed by shrapnel as he served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Olesya Khromeychuk's brother Volodymyr died on the frontline in eastern Ukraine. As Olesya tries to come to terms with losing her brother, she also tries to process the Russian invasion of Ukraine: as an immigrant living far from the frontline, as a historian of war and how societies respond to them, and as a woman, a civilian and a sister. In this timely blend of memoir and essay, Olesya Khromeychuk tells the story of her brother—the wiser older sibling, the artist and the soldier—and of his death.

Story
De zoektocht naar de waarheid achter de vlucht en mysterieuze dood van een naziofficier. Otto Wächter was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog verantwoordelijk voor de dood van honderdduizenden Joden en Polen. Vijfenzeventig jaar later is zijn zoon Horst nog altijd overtuigd van zijn onschuld. Aan het einde van de oorlog werd Otto Wächter beschuldigd van massamoord. Achternagezeten door de Sovjets, de Amerikanen en de Britten sloeg hij op de vlucht. Drie jaar lang verschool hij zich in de Oostenrijkse Alpen, waarna hij zich naar Rome begaf en met steun van het Vaticaan kon onderduiken.
