Dear TimeGhost Community,The last few days have come as a shock to all of us on the team. As we continue to edit and write regular videos, it has been harrowing to cover war exactly 79 years ago in the same cities currently under siege. This has been a grim and painful reminder of why we began this project, why all of us signed up to work here.
We want to reach as many people as possible with historiography which is factual, informative, and engaging, so that people around the world can learn from humanity’s mistakes and successes of the past. We also strive to show history exactly as it happened, free from lies and distortions for political exploitation.
Those ideals are now under an existential threat. While both peace and historical truth have been evasive since the end of the Second World War, this moment presents a heightened attack on these issues.
All of us here are more determined than ever to do our part as historians, as videographers, as human beings, to protect peace. Not to cover what is happening right now, as world leaders evoke history, as the cities we cover in weekly episodes are once again strangled by violence, would not be politically neutral, it would be a decision to ignore our values.
That is why we are launching a campaign to cover Ukrainian history. We hope that as millions of people around the world begin searching the internet to make sense of this all, they will see objective and factual historiography, not propaganda.
Right now, groups around the world are manipulating history for political ends. These lies are fuelling war and deaths each passing day. That is why we are taking on extra work, making videos on Ukrainian history, and asking all of you to join us in making a difference.
First and foremost, support those who deliver humanitarian aid: https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine
