What happens when the people who gave you freedom are no longer alive to thank?

A new episode of History Shorts Conversations is coming May 29, featuring bestselling author and historian @RobertEdsel discussing his powerful new book, Remember Us: American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II.

In this conversation, we explore the extraordinary relationship between the Dutch people and the American soldiers who liberated the Netherlands during WWII — and why that gratitude has endured for generations.

This is one of the most emotional and thought-provoking WWII conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

"How we remember and honor those who died in war matters. It comforts those left behind. It gives their sacrifice meaning. It reminds all of us that freedom is not free. The Dutch of the South Limburg region understand this." -@RobertEdsel, "Remember Us"

This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

For more than 80 years, Dutch families have honored Americans they never met, keeping their memory alive. A reminder that gratitude can endure across generations. #MemorialDay

[Robert M. Edsel @RobertEdsel]

Remembrance does not end with one generation.

Eighty years later, Dutch families continue a remarkable promise to honor the Americans who helped liberate their country during WWII.

Grateful to see this story featured in @USATODAY as Memorial Day weekend begins.

I’m excited to share REMEMBER US is featured on the May cover of @AmericanLegion Magazine! The American Legion has spent more than a century advocating for veterans & ensuring that no one is left behind or forgotten. I’m grateful for the work they do & for sharing this story.

[Robert M. Edsel @RobertEdsel]

“I hope that my daughter will do the same for your father & keep the memory living.”

For 80 years, a promise has been passed from one generation to the next. Now the Forever Promise Project connects families of the fallen with their Dutch grave adopters. https://t.co/jsL06dMKSE

It’s hard to believe it has been 12 years since The Monuments Men premiered in New York City and around the world, bringing to the screen the remarkable true story of the men and women who risked everything to protect & recover civilization’s greatest treasures during WWII.

[Robert M. Edsel @RobertEdsel]

At the Netherlands American Cemetery, one purpose guides everything: honoring the 10,000 American men and four women who gave their lives so that people they never knew might live in freedom.

[Robert M. Edsel @RobertEdsel]

It was an honor to stand alongside @usambnl to unveil the new panel for the Netherlands American Cemetery Visitor Center & discuss the @MonumentsMWfnd's Forever Promise Project.

We are fortunate to have such a dedicated public servant representing our nation in the Netherlands.

Today, Monuments Man Harry Ettlinger would have turned 100. A refugee from Nazi Germany who returned to Europe as an American soldier, Harry became family to me, and the star of every room he entered. Forever grateful to call him a friend.

Grateful to all who serve. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🇺🇸

[The American Legion @AmericanLegion]

As you gather today with loved ones, please pause to remember those unable to do the same today: Our brave men & women whose service allows us to enjoy #Thanksgiving, many unable to gather with their families because of an oath they selflessly took to serve this great nation.
#HappyThanksgiving everyone.
