"Our duty as Jewish youth is paving the way for ourselves. Sometimes we may feel alone . . . But the most important thing is for us as youth to pave the way for ourselves, to take action, to speak out. Even if it's hard or difficult.” As American Jewish college students head back to their campuses this fall, we talk to three leaders on AJC's Campus Global Board about how antisemitism before and after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks revealed their resilience and ignited the activist inside each of them. Jonathan Iadarola shares how a traumatic anti-Israel incident at University of Adelaide in Australia led him to secure a safe space on campus for Jewish students to convene. Ivan Stern recalls launching the Argentinian Union of Jewish Students after October 7, and Lauren Eckstein shares how instead of withdrawing from her California college and returning home to Arizona, she transferred to Washington University in St. Louis where she found opportunities she never dreamed existed and a supportive Jewish community miles from home.  *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

Transcript of the Interview: MANYA: As American Jewish college students head back to their campuses this fall, it's hard to know what to expect. Since the Hamas terror attacks of October 7, maintaining a GPA has been the least of their worries. For some who attend universities that allowed anti-Israel protesters to vandalize hostage signs or set up encampments, fears still linger.  We wanted to hear from college students how they're feeling about this school year. But instead of limiting ourselves to American campuses, we asked three students from AJC's Campus Global Board – from America, Argentina, and Australia – that's right, we still aim for straight A's here. We asked them to share their experiences so far and what they anticipate this year. We'll start on the other side of the world in Australia. With us now is Jonathan Iadarola, a third-year student at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide, Australia, the land down under, where everything is flipped, and they are getting ready to wrap up their school year in November.  Jonathan serves as president of the South Australia branch of the Australian Union of Jewish students and on AJC's Campus Global Board. Jonathan, welcome to People of the Pod. JONATHAN: Thank you for having me. MANYA: So tell us what your experience has been as a Jewish college student in Australia, both before October 7 and after. JONATHAN: So at my university, we have a student magazine, and there was a really awful article in the magazine that a student editor wrote, very critical of Israel, obviously not very nice words. And it sort of ended with like it ended with Death to Israel, glory to the Intifada. Inshallah, it will be merciless. So it was very, very traumatic, obviously, like, just the side note, my great aunt actually died in the Second Intifada in a bus bombing. So it was just like for me, a very personal like, whoa. This is like crazy that someone on my campus wrote this and genuinely believes what they wrote. So yeah, through that experience, I obviously, I obviously spoke up. That's kind of how my activism on campus started. I spoke up against this incident, and I brought it to the university. I brought it to the student editing team, and they stood their ground. They tried to say that this is free speech. This is totally okay. It's completely like normal, normal dialog, which I completely disagreed with.  And yeah, they really pushed back on it for a really long time. And it just got more traumatic with myself and many other students having to go to meetings in person with this student editor at like a student representative council, which is like the students that are actually voted in. Like student government in the United States, like a student body that's voted in by the students to represent us to the university administration.  And though that student government actually laughed in our faces in the meeting while we were telling them that this sort of incident makes us as Jewish students feel unsafe on campus. And we completely were traumatized. Completely, I would say, shattered, any illusion that Jewish students could feel safe on campus. And yeah, that was sort of the beginning of my university journey, which was not great. MANYA: Wow. And that was in 2022, before October 7. So after the terror attacks was when most college campuses here in America really erupted. Had the climate at the University of Adelaide improved by then, or did your experience continue to spiral downward until it was addressed? JONATHAN: It's kind of remained stagnant, I would say. The levels haven't really improved or gotten worse. I would say the only exception was maybe in May 2024, when the encampments started popping up across the world. Obviously it came, came to my city as well. And it wasn't very, it wasn't very great. There was definitely a large presence on my campus in the encampment.  And they were, they were more peaceful than, I would say, other encampments across Australia and obviously in the United States as well. But it was definitely not pleasant for students to, you know, be on campus and constantly see that in their faces and protesting. They would often come into people's classrooms as well. Sharing everything that they would like to say. You couldn't really escape it when you were on campus. MANYA: So how did you find refuge? Was there a community center or safe space on campus? Were there people who took you in?    JONATHAN: So I'm the president of the Jewish Student Society on my campus. One of the things that I really pushed for when the encampments came to my city was to have a Jewish space on campus. It was something that my university never had, and thankfully, we were able to push and they were like ‘Yes, you know what? This is the right time. We definitely agree.' So we actually now have our own, like, big Jewish room on campus, and we still have it to this day, which is amazing.  So it's great to go to when, whether we feel uncomfortable on campus, or whether we just want a place, you know, to feel proud in our Jewish identity. And there's often events in the room. There's like, a Beers and Bagels, or we can have beer here at 18, so it's OK for us. And there's also, yeah, there's bagels. Then we also do Shabbat dinners. Obviously, there's still other stuff happening on campus that's not as nice, but it's great that we now have a place to go when we feel like we need a place to be proud Jews. MANYA: You mentioned that this was the start of your Jewish activism. So, can you tell us a little bit about your Jewish upbringing and really how your college experience has shifted your Jewish involvement, just activity in general? JONATHAN: Yeah, that's a great question. So I actually grew up in Adelaide. This is my home. I was originally born in Israel to an Israeli mother, but we moved, I was two years old when we moved to Adelaide. There was a Jewish school when I grew up. So I did attend the Jewish school until grade five, and then, unfortunately, it did close due to low numbers. And so I had to move to the public school system.  And from that point, I was very involved in the Jewish community through my youth. And then there was a point once the Jewish school closed down where I kind of maybe slightly fell out. I was obviously still involved, but not to the same extent as I was when I was younger. And then I would say the first place I got kind of reintroduced was once I went to college and obviously met other Jewish students, and then it made me want to get back in, back, involved in the community, to a higher level than I had been since primary school.  And yeah, then obviously, these incidents happened on campus, and that kind of, I guess, it shoved me into the spotlight unintentionally, where I felt like no one else was saying anything. I started just speaking up against this. And then obviously, I think many other Jews on campus saw this, and were like: ‘Hang on. We want to also support this and, like, speak out against it.' and we kind of formed a bit of a group on campus, and that's how the club actually was formed as well.  So the club didn't exist prior to this incident. It kind of came out of it, which is, I guess, the beautiful thing, but also kind of a sad thing that we only seem to find each other in incidences of, you know, sadness and trauma. But the beautiful thing is that from that, we have been able to create a really nice, small community on campus for Jewish students.  So yeah, that's sort of how my journey started. And then through that, I got involved with the Australsian Union of Jewish Students, which is the Jewish Student Union that represents Jewish students all across Australia and New Zealand. And I started the South Australian branch, which is the state that Adelaide is in.  And I've been the president for the last three years. So that's sort of been my journey. And obviously through that, I've gotten involved with American Jewish Committee.  MANYA: So you're not just fighting antisemitism, these communities and groups that you're forming are doing some really beautiful things.  JONATHAN: Obviously, I really want to ensure that Jewish student life can continue to thrive in my city, but also across Australia. And one way that we've really wanted to do that is to help create essentially, a national Shabbaton. An event where Jewish students from all across the country, come to one place for a weekend, and we're all together having a Shabbat dinner together, learning different educational programs, hearing from different amazing speakers, and just being with each other in our Jewish identity, very proud and united. It's one of, I think, my most proud accomplishments so far, through my college journey, that I've been able to, you know, create this event and make it happen.  MANYA: And is there anything that you would like to accomplish Jewishly before you finish your college career? JONATHAN: There's a couple things. The big thing for me is ensuring, I want there to continue to be a place on campus for people to go and feel proud in their Jewish identity. I think having a Jewish space is really important, and it's something that I didn't have when I started my college journey. So I'm very glad that that's in place for future generations.  For most of my college journey so far, we didn't have even a definition at my university for antisemitism. So if you don't have a definition, how are you going to be able to define what is and what isn't antisemitic and actually combat it? So now, thankfully, they do have a definition. I don't know exactly if it's been fully implemented yet, but I know that they have agreed to a definition, and it's a mix of IHRA and the Jerusalem Declaration, I believe, so it's kind of a mix. But I think as a community, we're reasonably happy with it, because now they actually have something to use, rather than not having anything at all.  And yeah, I think those are probably the two main things for me, obviously, ensuring that there's that processes at the university moving forward for Jewish students to feel safe to report when there are incidents on campus. And then ensuring that there's a place for Jewish students to continue to feel proud in their Jewish identity and continue to share that and live that while they are studying at the university.  MANYA: Well, Jonathan, thank you so much for joining us, and enjoy your holiday. JONATHAN: Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.  MANYA: Now we turn to Argentina, Buenos Aires to be exact, to talk to Ivan Stern, the first Argentine and first Latin American to serve on AJC's Campus Global Board. A student at La Universidad Nacional de San Martin, Ivan just returned to classes last week after a brief winter break down there in the Southern Hemisphere.  What is Jewish life like there on that campus? Are there organizations for Jewish students?  IVAN: So I like to compare Jewish life in Buenos Aires like Jewish life in New York or in Paris or in Madrid. We are a huge city with a huge Jewish community where you can feel the Jewish sense, the Jewish values, the synagogues everywhere in the street. When regarding to college campuses, we do not have Jewish institutions or Jewish clubs or Jewish anything in our campuses that advocate for Jewish life or for Jewish students.  We don't actually need them, because the Jewish community is well established and respected in Argentina. Since our terrorist attacks of the 90s, we are more respected, and we have a strong weight in all the decisions. So there's no specific institution that works for Jewish life on campus until October 7 that we gathered a student, a student led organization, a student led group.  We are now part of a system that it's created, and it exists in other parts of the world, but now we are start to strengthening their programming and activities in Argentina we are we now have the Argentinian union with Jewish students that was born in October 7, and now we represent over 150 Jewish students in more than 10 universities. We are growing, but we are doing Shabbat talks in different campuses for Jewish students. We are bringing Holocaust survivors to universities to speak with administrations and with student cabinets that are not Jewish, and to learn and to build bridges of cooperation, of course, after October 7, which is really important. So we are in the middle of this work. We don't have a strong Hillel in campuses or like in the US, but we have Jewish students everywhere. We are trying to make this grow, to try to connect every student with other students in other universities and within the same university. And we are, yeah, we are work in progress. MANYA: Listeners just heard from your Campus Global Board colleague Jonathan Iadarola from Adelaide, Australia, and he spoke about securing the first  space for Jewish students on campus at the University of Adelaide. Does that exist at your university? Do you have a safe space?  So Hillel exists in Buenos Aires and in Cordoba, which Cordova is another province of Argentina. It's a really old, nice house in the middle of a really nice neighborhood in Buenos Aires. So also in Argentina another thing that it's not like in the U.S., we don't live on campuses, so we come and go every day from our houses to the to the classes. So that's why sometimes it's possible for us to, after classes, go to Hillel or or go to elsewhere. And the Argentinian Union, it's our job to represent politically to the Jewish youth on campus. To make these bridges of cooperation with non-Jewish actors of different college campuses and institutions, as I mentioned before, we bring Holocaust survivors, we place banners, we organize rallies. We go to talk with administrators. We erase pro- Palestinian paints on the wall. We do that kind of stuff, building bridges, making programs for Jewish youth. We also do it, but it's not our main goal. MANYA: So really, it's an advocacy organization, much like AJC. IVAN: It's an advocacy organization, and we are really, really, really happy to work alongside with the AJC more than once to strengthen  our goals. MANYA: October 7 was painful for all of us, what happened on university campuses there in Argentina that prompted the need for a union? So the impact of October 7 in Argentina wasn't nearly as strong as in other parts of the world, and definitely nothing like what's been happening on U.S. campuses. Maybe that's because October here is finals season, and our students were more focused on passing their classes than reacting to what was happening on the Middle East, but there were attempts of engagements, rallies, class disruptions and intimidations, just like in other places. That's why we focused on speaking up, taking action. So here it's not happening. What's happening in the U.S., which was really scary, and it's still really scary, but something was happening, and we needed to react. There wasn't a Jewish institution advocating for Jewish youth on campus, directly, getting to know what Jewish students were facing, directly, lively walking through the through the hallways, through the campus, through the campuses. So that's why we organize this student-led gathering, different students from different universities, universities. We need to do something. At the beginning, this institution was just on Instagram. It was named the institutions, and then for Israel, like my university acronym, it's unsam Universidad national, San Martin unsam. So it was unsam for Israel. So we, so we posted, like every campaign we were doing in our campuses, and then the same thing happened in other university and in other universities. So now we, we gathered everyone, and now we are the Argentinian Union of Jewish students.  But on top of that, in November 2023 students went on summer break until March 2024 so while the topic was extremely heated elsewhere here, the focus had shifted on other things. The new national government was taking office, which had everyone talking more about their policies than about Israel.  So now the issue is starting to resurface because of the latest news from Gaza, So we will go where it goes from here, but the weight of the community here, it's, as I said, really strong. So we have the ability to speak up.  MANYA: What kinds of conversations have you had with university administrators directly after. October 7, and then now, I mean, are you, are you communicating with them? Do you have an open channel of communication? Or is are there challenges? IVAN: we do? That's an incredible question there. It's a tricky one, because it depends on the university. The answer we receive. Of course, in my university, as I said, we are, we are lots of Jews in our eyes, but we are a strong minority also, but we have some Jewish directors in the administration, so sometimes they are really focused on attending to our concerns, and they are really able to to pick a call, to answer back our messages, also, um, there's a there's a great work that Argentina has been, has been doing since 2020 to apply the IHRA definition in every institute, in every public institution. So for example, my university, it's part of the IHRA definition. So that's why it was easy for us to apply sanctions to student cabinets or student organizations that were repeating antisemitic rhetorics, distortioning the Holocaust messages and everything, because we could call to our administrators, regardless if they were Jewish or not, but saying like, ‘Hey, this institution is part of the IHRA definition since February 2020, it's November 2023, and this will be saying this, this and that they are drawing on the walls of the of our classrooms. Rockets with Magen David, killing people. This is distortioning the Jewish values, the religion, they are distortioning everything. Please do something.'  So they started doing something. Then with the private institutions, we really have a good relationship. They have partnerships with different institutions from Israel, so it's easy for us to stop political demonstrations against the Jewish people. We are not against political demonstrations supporting the Palestinian statehood or anything. But when it regards to the safety of Jewish life on campus or of Jewish students, we do make phone calls. We do call to other Jewish institutions to have our back. And yes, we it's we have difficult answers, but we but the important thing is that we have them. They do not ghost us, which is something we appreciate. But sometimes ghosting is worse. Sometimes it's better for us to know that the institution will not care about us, than not knowing what's their perspective towards the problem. So sometimes we receive like, ‘Hey, this is not an antisemitism towards towards our eyes. If you want to answer back in any kind, you can do it. We will not do nothing.  MANYA: Ivan, I'm wondering what you're thinking of as you're telling me this. Is there a specific incident that stands out in your mind as something the university administrators declined to address? IVAN: So in December 2023, when we were all in summer break, we went back to my college, to place the hostages signs on the walls of every classroom. Because at the same time, the student led organizations that were far left, student-led organizations were placing these kind of signs and drawings on the walls with rockets, with the Magen David and demonizing Jews. So we did the same thing. So we went to the school administrators, and we call them, like, hey, the rocket with the Magen David. It's not okay because the Magen David is a Jewish symbol. This is a thing happening in the Middle East between a state and another, you have to preserve the Jewish students, whatever. And they told us, like, this is not an antisemitic thing for us, regardless the IHRA definition. And then they did do something and paint them back to white, as the color of the wall.  But they told us, like, if you want to place the hostages signs on top of them or elsewhere in the university, you can do it. So if they try to bring them down, yet, we will do something, because that this is like free speech, that they can do whatever they want, and you can do whatever that you want. So that's the answers we receive.  So sometimes they are positive, sometimes they are negative, sometimes in between. But I think that the important thing is that the youth is united, and as students, we are trying to push forward and to advocate for ourselves and to organize by ourselves to do something. MANYA: Is there anything that you want to accomplish, either this year or before you leave campus? IVAN: To keep building on the work of the Argentinian Union of Jewish Students is doing bringing Jewish college students together, representing them, pushing our limits, expanding across the country. As I said, we have a strong operations in Buenos Aires as the majority of the community is here, but we also know that there's other Jewish students in other provinces of Argentina. We have 24 provinces, so we are just working in one.  And it's also harder for Jewish students to live Jewishly on campus in other provinces when they are less students. Then the problems are bigger because you feel more alone, because you don't know other students, Jews or non-Jews. So that's one of my main goals, expanding across the country, and while teaming up with non-Jewish partners.  MANYA: You had said earlier that the students in the union were all buzzing about AJC's recent ad in the The New York Times calling for a release of the hostages still in Gaza.Are you hoping your seat on AJC's Campus Global Board will help you expand that reach? Give you some initiatives to empower and encourage your peers. Not just your peers, Argentina's Jewish community at large.  IVAN: My grandma is really happy about the AJC donation to the Gaza church. She sent me a message. If you have access to the AJC, please say thank you about the donation. And then lots of Jewish students in the in our union group chat, the 150 Jewish students freaking out about the AJC article or advice in The New York Times newspaper about the hostages. So they were really happy MANYA: In other words, they they like knowing that there's a global advocacy organization out there on their side? IVAN: Also advocating for youth directly. So sometimes it's hard for us to connect with other worldwide organizations. As I said, we are in Argentina, in the bottom of the world. AJC's worldwide. And as I said several times in this conversation, we are so well established that sometimes we lack of international representation here, because everything is solved internally. So if you have, if you have anything to say, you will go to the AMIA or to the Daya, which are the central organizations, and that's it. And you are good and there. And they may have connections or relationships with the AJC or with other organizations. But now students can have direct representations with organizations like AJC, which are advocating directly for us. So we appreciate it also. MANYA: You said things never got as heated and uncomfortable in Argentina as they did on American college campuses. What encouragement would you like to offer to your American peers?  I was two weeks ago in New York in a seminar with other Jewish students from all over the world and I mentioned that our duty as Jewish youth is paving the way for ourselves. Sometimes we may feel alone. Sometimes we are, sometimes we are not. But the most important thing is for us as youth to pave the way for ourselves, to take action, to speak out. Even if it's hard or difficult. It doesn't matter how little it is, but to do something, to start reconnecting with other Jews, no matter their religious spectrum, to start building bridges with other youth. Our strongest aspect is that we are youth, Not only because we are Jewish, but we are youth. So it's easier for us to communicate with our with other peers. So sometimes when everything is, it looks like hate, or everything is shady and we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. We should remember that the other one shouting against us is also a peer. MANYA:. Thank you so much, Ivan. Really appreciate your time and good luck going back for your spring semester. IVAN: Thank you. Thank you so much for the time and the opportunity.  MANYA:  Now we return home. Campus Global Board Member Lauren Eckstein grew up outside Phoenix and initially pursued studies at Pomona College in Southern California. But during the spring semester after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks, she transferred to Washington University in St. Louis. She returned to California this summer as one of AJC's Goldman Fellows.  So Lauren, you are headed back to Washington University in St Louis this fall. Tell us what your experience there has been so far as a college student. LAUREN: So I've been there since January of 2024. It has a thriving Jewish community of Hillel and Chabad that constantly is just like the center of Jewish life. And I have great Jewish friends, great supportive non-Jewish friends. Administration that is always talking with us, making sure that we feel safe and comfortable. I'm very much looking forward to being back on campus.  MANYA: As I already shared with our audience, you transferred from Pomona College. Did that have anything to do with the response on campus after October 7? LAUREN: I was a bit alienated already for having spent a summer in Israel in between my freshman and sophomore year. So that would have been the summer of 2023 before October 7, like few months before, and I already lost some friends due to spending that summer in Israel before anything had happened and experienced some antisemitism before October 7, with a student calling a pro-Israel group that I was a part of ‘bloodthirsty baby killers for having a barbecue in celebration of Israeli independence. But after October 7 is when it truly became unbearable. I lost hundreds of followers on Instagram. The majority of people I was friends with started giving me dirty looks on campus. I was a history and politics double major at the time, so the entire history department signed a letter in support of the war. I lost any sense of emotional safety on campus. And so 20 days after October 7, with constant protests happening outside of my dorm, I could hear it from my dorm students going into dining halls, getting them to sign petitions against Israel, even though Israel had not been in Gaza at all at this point. This was all before the invasion happened. I decided to go home for a week for my mental well being, and ended up deciding to spend the rest of that semester at home. MANYA: What did your other Jewish classmates do at Pomona? Did they stay? Did they transfer as well? LAUREN: I would say the majority of Jewish students in Claremont either aren't really–they don't really identify with their Jewish identity in other way, in any way, or most of them identify as anti-Zionist very proudly. And there were probably only a few dozen of us in total, from all five colleges that would identify as Zionists, or really say like, oh, I would love to go to Israel. One of my closest friends from Pomona transferred a semester after I did, to WashU. A few other people I know transferred to other colleges as well. I think the choice for a lot of people were either, I'm going to get through because I only have a year left, or, like, a couple years left, or I'm going to go abroad.  Or I'm just going to face it, and I know that it's going to be really difficult, and I'm only going to have a few friends and only have a few professors I can even take classes with, but I'm going to get through it. MANYA: So have you kept in touch with the friends in Pomona or at Pomona that cut you off, shot you dirty looks, or did those friendships just come to an end? LAUREN: They all came to an end. I can count on one hand, under one hand, the number of people that I talked to from any of the Claremont Colleges. I'm lucky to have one like really, really close friend of mine, who is not Jewish, that stood by my side during all of this, when she easily did not need to and will definitely always be one of my closest friends, but I don't talk to the majority of people that I was friends with at Pomona. MANYA: Well, I'm very sorry to hear that, but it sounds like the experience helped you recognize your truest friend. With only one year left at WashU, I'm sure plenty of people are asking you what you plan to do after you graduate, but I want to know what you are hoping to do in the time you have left on campus. LAUREN: I really just want to take it all in. I feel like I haven't had a very normal college experience. I mean, most people don't transfer in general, but I think my two college experiences have been so different from each other, even not even just in terms of antisemitism or Jewish population, but even just in terms of like, the kind of school it is, like, the size of it and all of that, I have made such amazing friends at WashU – Jewish and not –  that I just really want to spend as much time with them as I can, and definitely spend as much time with the Jewish community and staff at Hillel and Chabad that I can. I'm minoring in Jewish, Islamic, Middle Eastern Studies, and so I'm really looking forward to taking classes in that subject, just that opportunity that I didn't have at Pomona. I really just want to go into it with an open mind and really just enjoy it as much as I can, because I haven't been able to enjoy much of my college experience. So really appreciate the good that I have. MANYA: As I mentioned before, like Jonathan and Ivan, you are on AJC's Campus Global Board. But you also served as an AJC Goldman Fellow in the Los Angeles regional office this summer, which often involves working on a particular project. Did you indeed work on something specific?  LAUREN: I mainly worked on a toolkit for parents of kids aged K-8, to address Jewish identity and antisemitism. And so really, what this is trying to do is both educate parents, but also provide activities and tools for their kids to be able to really foster that strong Jewish identity. Because sadly, antisemitism is happening to kids at much younger ages than what I dealt with, or what other people dealt with.  And really, I think bringing in this positive aspect of Judaism, along with providing kids the tools to be able to say, ‘What I'm seeing on this social media platform is antisemitic, and this is why,' is going to make the next generation of Jews even stronger. MANYA: Did you experience any antisemitism or any challenges growing up in Arizona? LAUREN: I went to a non-religious private high school, and there was a lot of antisemitism happening at that time, and so there was a trend to post a blue square on your Instagram. And so I did that. And one girl in my grade –it was a small school of around 70 kids per grade, she called me a Zionist bitch for posting the square. It had nothing to do with Israel or anything political. It was just a square in solidarity with Jews that were being killed in the United States for . . . being Jewish.  And so I went to the school about it, and they basically just said, this is free speech. There's nothing we can do about it. And pretty much everyone in my grade at school sided with her over it.  I didn't really start wearing a star until high school, but I never had a second thought about it. Like, I never thought, oh, I will be unsafe if I wear this here.  MANYA: Jonathan and Ivan shared how they started Jewish organizations for college students that hadn't existed before. As someone who has benefited from Hillel and Chabad and other support networks, what advice would you offer your peers in Argentina and Australia? LAUREN: It's so hard for me to say what the experience is like as an Argentinian Jew or as an Australian Jew, but I think community is something that Jews everywhere need. I think it's through community that we keep succeeding, generation after generation, time after time, when people try to discriminate against us and kill us. I believe, it's when we come together as a people that we can truly thrive and feel safe.  And I would say in different places, how Jewish you want to outwardly be is different. But I think on the inside, we all need to be proud to be Jewish, and I think we all need to connect with each other more, and that's why I'm really excited to be working with students from all over the world on the Campus Global Board, because I feel like us as Americans, we don't talk to Jews from other countries as much as we should be. I think that we are one people. We always have been and always will be, and we really need to fall back on that. MANYA: Well, that's a lovely note to end on. Thank you so much, Lauren. LAUREN: Thank you. MANYA:  If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for my conversation with Adam Louis-Klein, a PhD candidate at McGill University. Adam shared his unexpected journey from researching the Desano tribe in the Amazon to confronting rising antisemitism in academic circles after October 7. He also discussed his academic work, which explores the parallels between indigenous identity and Jewish peoplehood, and unpacks the politics of historical narrative.  Next week, People of the Pod will be taking a short break while the AJC podcast team puts the finishing touches on a new series set to launch August 28: Architects of Peace: The Abraham Accords Story. Stay tuned.

This week Sam and English Dan have the studio to themselves, and sit down for a chat about a round of league action that, mercifully, saw more goals than the previous one. The big story of the week was off the pitch, as Racing signed Marcos Rojo, much to many fans' annoyance, and it then emerged that he's ineligible to play in the league until next year.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », est une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde. Ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. Aujourd'hui, direction la France et plus précisément Lyon, où l'association des Béninois du Rhône-Alpes organise une après-midi de jeu autour de l'awalé. Ce jeu de semailles est le jeu de société africain le plus répandu, de l'est à l'ouest du continent et jusqu'aux Antilles. Entre transmission et nostalgie, pour la diaspora africaine, l'awalé fait le lien entre l'enfance au pays et la vie en France. Reportage à Lyon de Welly Diallo. Assis face à son adversaire, Julio se concentre. D'une main, il saisit quelques graines qu'il dissémine le long du plateau : « J'ai grandi avec mes grands-parents au pays donc je connaissais déjà l'awalé. » Julio maîtrise le jeu, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'il gagne chaque fois. « J'ai joué avec quelqu'un de beaucoup plus expérimenté que moi donc euh... Non ! », s'amuse-t-il. Le jeune Béninois n'avait presque aucune chance face à Bienvenue Kenke, le trésorier de l'association des Béninois de Rhône-Alpes, pour qui ces rencontres autour des jeux oscillent entre transmission et nostalgie. « Ça permet aussi à ceux qui sont à Lyon de rester dans le mood des anciens jeux malgré leur âge adulte pour transmettre à leur descendance, explique Bienvenue Kenke. Comme on s'est retrouvé ici, on s'est dit : sortons notre awalé pour que ceux qui sont venus il y a longtemps soient toujours dans le mood de l'ancien temps. » Sur la table d'à côté, Odette la doyenne, retrouve ce « mood de l'ancien temps », cette ambiance, cette excitation d'autrefois. Depuis son arrivée, elle enchaîne les victoires et explique les bases du jeu aux nouveaux-venus. Aujourd'hui, l'awalé se joue dans presque tous les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. À l'origine, le jeu a émergé entre le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle au Ghana. Puis, la traite négrière va contribuer à son expansion aussi bien en Afrique qu'aux Antilles. L'historien Joseph Salumu Kamangu est le président de l'association africaine des jeux et sports traditionnels : « À l'époque, à chaque déportation par la traite négrière, ces gens-là emmenaient l'awalé avec eux. Aujourd'hui, le gouvernement ghanéen, en collaboration avec l'Unesco, a pu ramener ce jeu, le moderniser un peu en intégrant ce programme dans des écoles et des centres culturels, et aujourd'hui, ça a pris quand même une diffusion internationale. » À lire aussi«Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues» à Madagascar: le fanorona D'où sa place centrale au sein des diasporas africaines. L'awalé, que l'on appelle aussi l'adji ou owaré, est présent dans les ateliers et séances de jeux, et même jusqu'au festival Yardland de hip-hop, dancehall et R'n'B, qui a eu lieu à Paris début juillet, à l'hippodrome de Vincennes. Dans son stand, Ngoufo Gangnimaze, président du Club Awalé, a proposé aux festivaliers de découvrir le jeu. « Il y a beaucoup d'enthousiasme parce que l'awalé, c'est le jeu le plus connu en France. Les gens viennent très naturellement parce qu'il y a un capital sympathie fort. Et nous, tout ce qu'on a à faire, c'est intervenir dans des festivals, des foires des fêtes de jeux pour faire connaître l'awalé et les jeux africains », raconte Ngoufo Gangnimaze. Faire découvrir le jeu, mais à condition qu'il reste africain, surtout dans sa fabrication : « C'est les Chinois qui ont pour l'instant le monopole de cette fabrication-là. Ils les vendent essentiellement dans les centres commerciaux, grandes surfaces et boutiques en ligne, commente Ngoufo Gangnimaze. Il faut s'investir dans cette industrie, les Africains doivent prendre l'espace, investir dans la fabrication du jeu, faire du lobbying en fait ! Moi, j'ai déjà rencontré des ergothérapeutes qui utilisaient l'awalé pour exercer leurs patients dans tout ce qui est la psychomotricité finee. » Outil pour soigner, pour éduquer, pour se souvenir d'où on vient... L'awalé est ce trait d'union avec le continent pour la diaspora africaine en France. À lire aussi«Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues» en Argentine: le truco

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », c'est une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde. Ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. Aujourd'hui, direction Madagascar avec le fanorona. Un jeu de stratégie ancestral créé sur la Grande Île, qui se joue en duel. Ses règles devaient être parfaitement maîtrisées par tous les héritiers de la royauté merina afin d'accroître leurs chances de remporter les batailles contre les autres royaumes. Le fanorona a depuis conquis tout le territoire, mais a perdu de son prestige au sein de la société, faute d'enseignement adéquat. Quelques irréductibles passionnés, convaincus de ses bienfaits sur la concentration et l'agilité cérébrale qu'il développe, s'efforcent aujourd'hui de le remettre au goût du jour. De notre correspondante à Antananarivo,  Sur les tables en béton érigées au pied des immeubles de la cité Analamahitsy, les pions rouges et bleus semblent comme danser sous les doigts des joueurs de fanorona. Sous le regard des badauds, Fetra Andriamampianina, dit Karana, l'actuel président de la fédération de fanorona de la région Analamanga, affronte son élève Jean-Marie Andriatsarafara, dit Zamabe, triple champion de Madagascar. « Le fanorona est apparu pour la première fois au 16ᵉ siècle, sur les Hautes-Terres, dans la ville royale de Merimanjaka. Puis le jeu s'est répandu à l'extérieur du palais, et plus tard dans la rue et c'est comme ça que dans toute l'île, tout le monde s'est mis à jouer », explique Fetra Andriamampianina.  Un jeu aux origines royales, donc, confirment les historiens. En témoignant d'ailleurs, les pierres à quadrillage que l'on retrouve encore aujourd'hui sur chacun des sites princiers répertoriés en Imerina. À l'époque, exceller au fanorona, c'était s'assurer d'être un bon stratège, y compris sur le champ de bataille. Le champion Zamabe, lui, n'est pas un descendant royal. Toutefois, confie-t-il, ce jeu a totalement façonné sa vie : « Les chrétiens, ils ont la Bible. Les musulmans, ils ont le Coran, et nous les malgaches, on a le fanorona. Le fanorona, c'est notre livre divin. Parce que ça nous permet d'anticiper le futur, et le futur du futur. Ce jeu nous permet de tirer des leçons de vie, parce que contrairement aux autres jeux, quand tu comprends qu'un coup te détruit au fanorona, tu essaies de ne plus le refaire et tu t'obliges à prendre un autre chemin à l'avenir ». À lire aussi«Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues» en Argentine: le truco Contrairement aux échecs, le fanorona autorise plusieurs mouvements en un seul tour : « La plus belle chose que ça m'ait apportée, c'est de savoir analyser et prévoir. Être trop gourmand en voulant éliminer le plus vite possible les pions adverses, par exemple, ça peut te détruire. C'est comme dans la vraie vie. Et c'est pour ça que nous, joueurs de fanorona, on ne joue jamais aux jeux d'argent. On est capable de bien gérer notre salaire, notre nourriture, de penser au futur. C'est sûr que les principes de ce jeu pourraient être utilisés en politique parce que c'est beaucoup de stratégie. Mais je crois qu'aujourd'hui, non, personne ne s'en sert en ce moment... » Comme chaque dimanche midi, Sariaka Razanamparany, fondatrice de l'association Pi Lalao, propose aux clients d'un restaurant tananarivien de redécouvrir des jeux, malgaches ou non. À cette table, cette grande famille a choisi le fanorona : « Ce sont des jeux qui ont été oubliés quelque part. Et ce qui fait que moi, dans mon métier, je vais vers les gens et je leur propose de jouer aux jeux traditionnels comme le fanorona. En réintroduisant ce jeu aussi, ça réintroduit le lien social finalement et entre les générations comme c'est le cas aujourd'hui où c'est un papa et son fils qui jouent ensemble et il n'y a vraiment pas d'âge et c'est ça qui est très intéressant. C'est universel ». Bien plus qu'un simple jeu, le fanorona incarne une part de l'identité malgache. Héritage royal devenu outil d'éveil stratégique, il permet aujourd'hui à une nouvelle génération de se reconnecter à ses racines. Se réapproprier ce savoir, c'est renouer avec une mémoire collective, tout en s'aiguisant l'esprit, à la manière des ancêtres malagasy.

En Bolivie, l'élection présidentielle a lieu dimanche prochain 17 août. La crise économique et les solutions proposées par les candidats ont été au cœur de la campagne électorale. L'une des propositions les plus en vogue : favoriser et développer l'élevage et l'agriculture dans l'est du pays. Un projet qui donne des ailes aux principaux intéressés, mais qui inquiète les communautés autochtones qui craignent un recul de leurs droits et une augmentation de la déforestation et des incendies. Reportage de Nils Sabin.  De notre correspondant en Bolivie,  À San Javier, dans l'est de la Bolivie, la campagne pour l'élection présidentielle du 17 août est particulièrement suivie. Cette petite ville de 15 000 habitants est la capitale laitière du département de Santa Cruz… Et les nombreux éleveurs locaux espèrent voir leur secteur favorisé par le prochain président. « Nous espérons, si Dieu le veut, qu'il y aura un changement et que le nouveau gouvernement aura en tête que la production et le progrès se trouvent ici », confie María Gloria Paz Tambare, présidente de l'association des éleveurs de San Javier. Malgré des lois environnementales très permissives, des prêts à taux bas, ou encore l'augmentation des permis de déforestation, l'agrobusiness, c'est-à-dire les secteurs de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle, a le sentiment d'avoir été maltraité par les gouvernements de gauche de ces vingt dernières années. Selon Mauricio Tambare, éleveur rencontré dans son ranch à quelques kilomètres de San Javier, la Bolivie doit virer à droite et s'inspirer d'autres présidents conservateurs du continent : « On aime bien ce que fait Milei en Argentine, ce qu'a fait Bukele au Salvador. On ne demande pas que ce soit un copié-collé, mais que ce soit similaire à ce que fait Milei ». « Les candidats ont très peur de se fâcher avec l'agro-industrie bolivienne » Pour le secteur de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle, la fin de la crise économique qui touche le pays — 17 % d'inflation depuis janvier, pénurie de carburant et de dollars — passe forcément par leur développement. « Pour nous, c'est très clair que si on ne nous permet pas d'exporter plus facilement, qu'on ne baisse pas les droits de douane, qu'on ne nous soutient pas, le pays va droit dans le mur », avance María Gloria Paz Tambare. Un message qui s'est peu à peu imposé dans la campagne électorale. Ainsi, Samuel Doria Medina et Jorge Quiroga, les deux candidats d'opposition en tête des sondages, proposent de faciliter les exportations de l'agrobusiness, de favoriser le développement technologique de ces secteurs et admettent qu'il faudra étendre la frontière agricole pour permettre leur développement. Et même chez les candidats se revendiquant de gauche, aucun n'ose remettre en cause cette idée. « Les candidats ont très peur de se fâcher avec l'agro-industrie bolivienne. Ils redoutent d'avoir une image qui va à l'encontre du secteur privé et d'être associés à des pays comme le Venezuela, l'Équateur ou Cuba », explique Stasiek Czaplicki, économiste environnemental, spécialisé sur la déforestation et les incendies. Et de rappeler que l'idée de résoudre la crise économique via le développement du secteur de l'agrobusiness n'est pas nouvelle : « Ça a déjà été fait dans les années 1980, dans les années 1950 et à d'autres moments de l'Histoire bolivienne ». Augmentation probable de la déforestation Mais du côté de la Centrale indigène Paikoneka, qui regroupe une soixantaine de communautés autochtones à San Javier, ces propositions inquiètent. « Nous avons analysé les programmes des différents candidats et il n'y en a pas un en faveur des droits des peuples indigènes ou de l'environnement », s'alarme Brian Baca Talamas, coordinateur des pompiers volontaires de l'organisation indigène. En effet, renforcer la place de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle dans l'économie revient à continuer à agrandir la frontière agricole dans l'est de la Bolivie. En clair, cela favorisera la déforestation et les incendies alors qu'en 2024, le pays était le deuxième pays au monde avec le plus de forêts primaires au monde, derrière le Brésil, et que les incendies ont ravagé plus de 12 millions d'hectares, l'équivalent de quatre fois la superficie de la Suisse. Des conséquences écologiques vues comme des dommages collatéraux par les candidats. « S'il y a contradiction entre l'environnement et la production, je choisirai la production », a ainsi déclaré Samuel Doria Medina fin juin. Quant à Jorge Quiroga, il est rappelé dans la section environnement de son programme qu'une extension de la frontière agricole sera forcément nécessaire. « Tout le monde veut des solutions à la crise. Les candidats et une grande partie de la population sont prêts à voir une dégradation écologique si cela permet une amélioration économique », analyse Stasiek Czaplicki. L'année dernière, une vingtaine de communautés de l'organisation ont été touchées par les incendies historiques qui ont ravagé le pays. L'une de leurs peurs est que les incendies continuent de s'aggraver si des mesures favorables à l'agrobusiness sont prises. Pour s'y opposer, la Centrale indigène Paikoneka prépare déjà l'après-élection. « Nous sommes tous unis, les peuples des terres basses, pour qu'après le 17 août, nous fassions une manifestation pour exiger que l'on respecte nos territoires indigènes et nos droits », indique María Suárez Macoñó, l'une des dirigeantes de l'organisation. Entre crise économique, mesures d'austérité pour y mettre fin et recul écologique, les prochaines années s'annoncent difficiles pour la population bolivienne.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », c'est notre série d'été sur RFI, à la découverte ou la redécouverte de ces jeux populaires qui sont au cœur de nos cultures et de nos identités. Aujourd'hui, direction l'Argentine, pour une plongée dans un jeu de cartes, le truco qui n'a rien à envier au football dans le panthéon des passions nationales. Le truco peut se jouer seul ou en équipe. Le principe est simple : remporter le plus de plis en maniant ruse et stratégie… Le truco, une passion argentine. De notre correspondant à Buenos Aires,  « Ça va ? Je suis Gabriel, je viens du nord de Buenos Aires, j'ai 48 ans et je suis là pour participer au tournoi de Truco avec mes amis ! ». Un dimanche soir à Buenos Aires… Véritable institution ouverte en 1912, le café San Bernardo résonne du brouhaha habituel occasionné par les amateurs de ping-pong et de billard… Dans un recoin, huit tables, six joueurs par table, des jeunes, des moins jeunes, surtout des hommes. Et sur les tables, la bière, les verres, un petit carnet, et les cartes… « On a perdu de quatre points ! Ça ne s'est pas bien passé, on a manqué d'un tout petit peu de chance… Mais bon, le "truco" (prononcé Trouko) c'est l'amitié, l'argentinité, et passer un bon moment… c'est comme ça que je le vois ». Authentique passion argentine, le truco se joue pourtant avec des cartes dites espagnoles numérotées de une à douze, et sur lesquelles figurent le bâton, le denier, la coupe et l'épée… « Ce sont les Espagnols qui l'ont apporté, mais les vieux Gauchos ont adapté les règles pour se l'approprier et en faire un jeu plus autochtone, plus national, plus à nous ! Dans chaque maison, toutes les familles ont un jeu de cartes pour jouer au Truco… ». Impossible pour Gabriel de se souvenir du moment où il a appris à jouer : « Mon père m'emmenait aux réunions avec ses amis, ils se retrouvaient pour jouer. Et toute la nuit, c'étaient les rires, les embrassades, les blagues. Alors moi, tout petit, je me suis dit : je veux apprendre ça. Du coup, c'est comme continuer une tradition — une tradition familiale, mais aussi nationale ». Les règles du truco dans une main, un stylo dans l'autre pour noter les scores, Romina se glisse parmi les joueurs. Passionnée par les jeux, c'est elle qui organise le tournoi : « Quand on est petit, on joue, et puis on grandit, et tout à coup, on est censé être sérieux ». Maintenant, tu es adulte et tu n'as plus le droit de jouer, mais pourquoi ? Pourquoi tu ne pourrais plus jouer parce que tu es grand ? Alors ce bar, un peu, c'est ça. L'idée, c'est de jouer. C'est l'essence même ». Ce que Romina aime par-dessus tout, ce sont les rencontres improbables suscitées par le truco : « Dans certains tournois, il arrive souvent qu'il y ait un vendeur d'avocats qui joue peut-être avec le propriétaire d'une marque de vêtements. Et dans le jeu, ils sont tous égaux, tu vois ? Ce sont des choses qui n'arrivent peut-être que dans ce genre de situations… Et puis, avec tout ce qu'on vit aujourd'hui, surtout sur le plan politique, jouer un peu, ça te déconnecte de la réalité ». Dans l'arrière-salle d'un gymnase qu'il administre dans cette banlieue de Buenos Aires, José a fondé en 2015 rien de moins que l'association argentine de truco pour répondre à un problème majeur : « Le pays est très grand, et le truco n'avait pas de règlement unifié. Chacun jouait avec ses propres règles, et ça posait souvent des problèmes : "Non, non, moi, je joue comme ça. Moi, je ne joue pas comme ça". On a fait un règlement et on s'est dit : "Bon, et maintenant, qu'est-ce qu'on fait ?" ». Sur les murs, des affiches à la gloire de Diego Maradona et Léo Messi… En Argentine, football et truco vont de pair, au point que le premier pourrait même redorer l'image du second : « L'équipe nationale a gagné la Coupe du monde. Et eux, ils jouaient au Truco tous les jours pendant le mondial. Ce sont des super-héros pour n'importe quel Argentin. Alors c'est comme s'il y avait eu un renouveau, un regain du truco. Oui, oui. Maintenant, je vois que les jeunes y jouent, tout le monde y joue. Le truco a fait son grand retour, tu vois ? On était en train de l'oublier, et d'un coup, c'est la fureur totale ». Et demain le truco pourrait même s'exporter. La série argentine à succès El Eternauta diffusée au printemps s'ouvre sur une scène de truco, tant et si bien que José a été contacté par des fans au Japon qui souhaiteraient en apprendre les règles.

During Copa América last summer, Alexis Guerreros of The Cooligans podcast and Morning Footy on CBS Sports Golazo came by the Weekend to preview the Round of 16, and the standup comedian made a sharp point about Lionel Messi's “elasticity” and his stunning physical resilience after all the kicks and hard tackles he's taken in a long and storied career.That's just one reason that the little Argentine is the greatest there ever was, and from there we dove into a discussion of what a privilege it is to witness this man play. Nowadays, when you're lucky enough to be there in the stadium, you can feel that everybody around you knows it, too: this is Michael Jordan, this is Wayne Gretzky, and we're running out of time to bear witness to a genuine sporting phenomenon.Get more Classic moments from The Football Weekend:"Go, Go USA!"

Send Steve a Text MessageWhat happens when curiosity meets musical passion? For Miguel Navarro, it sparked a remarkable journey across genres, techniques, and even countries. In this captivating conversation with Steve, Miguel reveals the winding path that brought him from childhood lessons in Chile to becoming a respected instructor at GuitarZoom Academy.Miguel's story begins with childhood inspiration from a popular puppet show, leading to his first guitar lessons at age eight. The social aspect of learning alongside his best friend created a motivational foundation that would shape his approach to music for years to come. His narrative takes us through his progression from simple open chords to formal conservatory training, where he embraced classical guitar technique and traditional Chilean folk music. The most pivotal moment came when Miguel discovered Argentine tango guitar—a versatile style that combined technical demands with collaborative performance opportunities. This passion ultimately led him to relocate to Buenos Aires, where he completed his musical education in traditional music programs.What makes Miguel's approach so valuable to students is his unique perspective on teaching. Rather than focusing solely on technique, Miguel views teaching as "accompanying someone's journey"—connecting with students' lives beyond just the musical aspects. His versatility across classical, folk, tango, and rock styles gives him a rare ability to help students find their own unique voice on the instrument. When he names his current influences—tango guitarist Hugo Rivas, acoustic player Jungle Rainhawk, and jazz innovator Julian Lash—we glimpse the eclectic musical mind that makes him such an effective instructor. Whether you're a beginner finding your way around open chords or an advanced player looking to explore new genres, Miguel's multicultural musical journey offers valuable insights for guitarists at any stage of development.

En 2016, Geoffrey Cardozo a 66 ans. Désormais entièrement libre de ses mouvements, il se rend pour la première fois en Argentine. Son but est de rencontrer les familles des soldats inconnus et de convaincre les plus hésitantes de donner des échantillons d'ADN. A son retour en Europe, il est contacté par Morris Tidball-Binz, un médecin légiste qui se présente au nom de la Croix Rouge Internationale à Genève. Cardozo bondit de joie. L'organisation de la mission d'identification requiert beaucoup de compétence de de diplomatie. En juin 2017, elle est à pied d'œuvre. Cardozo la rejoint aux Malouines et 35 ans après la guerre, il retrouve « son » cimetière. Avec le docteur Morris Tidball-Binz, médecin légiste expert en identification sur les théâtres de guerre, chef de mission de la Croix-Rouge internationale. Une enquête d'Anne Brunswic en collaboration avec Yvan Amar.

Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, direction l'Argentine, où les crimes de la dictature peinent à être punis même si les anciens militaires ont été condamnés. En deuxième partie, direction le Brésil, où l'addiction aux paris en ligne est un véritable fléau qui endette bien souvent les familles les plus modestes. (Rediffusion) En Argentine, le démantèlement silencieux de la mémoire de la dictature En Argentine, les crimes de la dictature militaire continuent à hanter une partie de la société. Cela fait plus de 50 ans que ce régime a pris fin, mais tous les ans, de nouvelles familles, séparées de force à l'époque sont réunies… Et des anciens militaires sont condamnés. Or, ce travail de justice et de réparation est aujourd'hui entravé : le nouveau président Javier Milei coupe les budgets des centres d'archives et des associations de victimes. Sous couvert d'une réduction des dépenses publiques, c'est tout un travail de mémoire qui est menacé. Un Grand reportage de Théo Conscience qui s'entretient avec Sébastien Farcis.   Brésil: la fièvre des jeux en ligne 3 milliards d'euros, c'est ce que dépensent chaque mois les Brésiliens dans les paris en ligne, on commence par miser sur un score d'un match de football sur son téléphone et rapidement, ce jeu devient une drogue qui engloutit les économies des plus modestes et fait sombrer des familles entières dans la précarité. Pendant des années, le gouvernement brésilien a fermé les yeux sur ce fléau avant d'imposer enfin, cette année, une taxe sur ses plateformes de paris. Toutefois, rien n'est fait pour limiter les publicités omniprésentes et la population continue donc de s'endetter. Un Grand reportage de Sarah Cozzolino qui s'entretient avec Sébastien Farcis.

“They will never see their gold again, just as they do not see their own ears.”Josef StalinGold's strength is that its value exists in and of itself. It's nobody else's liability. Unlike money in the bank or a bond, it carries no promise from a third party, and its value is not dependent on the creditworthiness of any issuer or guarantor. Hand it to someone else and its value is transferred. It is a “bearer” asset, effectively owned by whoever has possession of it. For this reason gold has been the target of many a heist. Quickly resmelt it, and its provenance is very hard to prove.So there is one obvious problem with gold: that is keeping it safe. It's all very well having a pot of gold, but if somebody comes along and takes it from you, as Alexander did from the Persians, or the Conquistadors from the Incas, then you're left with nothing at all.When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, supported the Spanish Republican government. The Nazis supported their opponents, the revolutionary fascist forces led by General Franco. At the time Spanish gold reserves, some 635 tonnes, were the fourth largest in the world.Much of that treasure had been accumulated during WWI, when Spain had stayed neutral. Selling stuff to the British seems to have been the really big earner: 70% of Spanish gold holdings were British sovereigns.With Franco just 20 miles from the capital, the Republicans were on the verge of defeat. Never mind the fascists, there were also rumours that Catalan separatists had hatched plans to take the gold from Madrid to Barcelona. All that gold was at risk.Finance minister, Juan Negrín, and Prime Minister, Francisco Largo Caballero, leant on President Azaña to sign a secret decree to move the gold - some 10,000 cases - to a place “which in his [Negrín's] opinion offers the best security”. Azaña signed and the gold was moved, starting the next day, to Cartajena on the south coast, as far from Franco's armies as possible. The Spanish soldiers who transported the cases thought they were lifting munitions. A fifth of it was then shipped to Marseille where it was traded for French francs, which the Republicans used to fund their side of the war. The rest, 510 tonnes, would be sent to Joseph Stalin in Moscow for safekeeping.Even if Bolshevik sympathisers, what were Negrín and Caballero thinking? The Russians had already demonstrated that they had no qualms about seizing other people's gold. In 1916, the Romanian government sent its treasury of 91 tonnes of gold to Tsarist Russia for safekeeping, worried that it was vulnerable to the Axis powers when Romania had just joined WWI on the side of the Entente. Shortly afterwards, during the Great October Revolution, communists, led by Lenin, seized power, sequestered the gold and refused to give it back. Though small amounts were returned in 1935, 1956, and 2008, “as a gesture of goodwill”, the large majority was retained. As you can imagine, it has been something of a sore spot in diplomatic relations between the two nations ever since.It seems Negrín and Caballero did not know the story. In any case, Caballero actually wrote to Stalin asking if he would “agree to the deposit of approximately 500 tonnes of gold.” Two days later, he got a reply from the Soviet leader, not previously known for his prompt responses. No surprise: Stalin would be “glad” to take the gold.Buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times? The bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Alexander Orlov was the Russian agent in charge of transporting the booty. Negrín gave him fake documents to show he was an US official from the Bank of America, in case he should be stopped. Negrín, who, remember, was finance minister, had thought Bank of America was the US central bank. That would be the Federal Reserve. Russian agent Orlov didn't realise either. It's extraordinary.Four Russian ships came to Cartagena to collect the bounty, and the gold was loaded on. There was a discrepancy of 100 cases between Orlov and Spanish treasurer Mendez Aspe's number: Aspe said 7,800 cases, Orlov 7,900. Orlov said nothing. He reported the discrepancy to his superiors, who told him, “Do not worry about figures. Everything will be counted anew in Moscow. Do not mention your figure to anybody.” Aspe didn't even get a receipt off Orlov (who had been instructed not to give him one). “Don't worry, my friend,” said Orlov, “it will be issued by the State Bank of the Soviet Union, when everything is checked and weighed.” We will never know whether Orlov miscounted or whether those 100 boxes went missing.It took them three nights to load the four ships. The Russians then left Cartagena for Odessa in the Black Sea, escorted by the Spanish as far as Italy. From Odessa it was loaded onto a freight train bound for Moscow. "If all the boxes of gold that we piled up on the wharfs of Odessa were to be placed here side by side,” said one of the officials. “They would completely cover up the Red Square".When the gold arrived in Moscow, Stalin celebrated with a banquet at the Kremlin. “They will never see their gold again”, he laughed. “Just as they do not see their own ears.”The Spanish eventually got their receipt: for 5,619 standard cases and 126 damaged. Some distance below both Aspe and Orlov's figure. But three months later the Russians completed the audit, calculating that the shipments totalled 510 tonnes of gold coins and ingots, 90% pure, thus around 460 tonnes of pure gold. There were gold coins from across Europe and Latin America, especially those British sovereigns and Portuguese escudos, but also Spanish pesetas, French, Swiss and Belgian francs, German marks,, Russian rubles, Austrian schillings, Dutch guilders, and Mexican, Argentine and Chilean pesos. The numismatic value of the coins was higher than their gold content.The following year Spain met with a currency crisis. With exceptional chutzpah, even by the standards of politicians, Republicans blamed the inflation on the free market. Nothing to do with the absence of all that gold!Later, the Franco regime was happy to let the story of the "Moscow gold" stolen by Russia spread, as part of its anti-communist propaganda. And yet it appears sell orders from Negrín were actually carried out in 1937 and 1938, for which Spain received pounds, dollars and francs. Spain also received planes, tanks, machine guns, artillery, rifles, cartridges, food and fuel from Russia. The Soviets demanded some compensation for what they had sent during the war, but it's believed that aside from various expenses, the Soviets did not abuse their position and defraud the Spanish. Ultimately then, most of the gold went, one way or another, on the cost of the civil war. Such is the way with war. It is expensive.And just a couple or three years later, as Nazi forces advanced through Europe, the farce of transporting gold would be repeated many times over, and across the continent.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28. This is a public episode.

Les trois-quarts de la commune seraient sous le contrôle des gangs criminels, ce qui fait fuir la population et empêche les agriculteurs de travailler. Reportage.  Depuis le début de l'année, les gangs armés multiplient leurs attaques contre la commune de Kenscoff, ce qui a fait fuir plus de 30 000 personnes, confie le maire de la ville, Jean Massillon, à notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama.  Cette violence a aussi perturbé toute la production agricole, et cela menace donc l'alimentation de la région. « Les gangs armés ont forcé les paysans et les agriculteurs à fuir. Ils ont pris leurs animaux, incendié leurs maisons, et leur ont fait perdre tout ce qu'ils possédaient. C'est la première fois dans toute l'histoire de cette ville que des habitants se plaignent de faim », témoigne le coordinateur de la plateforme nationale des paysans haïtiens. Jean-Louis Durant. Le reportage complet de Peterson Luxama.   Au Chili, un sommet pour protéger les droits des citoyens face aux abus des nouvelles technologies. Les présidents et chefs de gouvernement du Chili, du Brésil, de la Colombie, de l'Uruguay et de l'Espagne se réunissent pour le sommet « Democracy Forever », qui vise à lancer un mouvement citoyen de protection contre la domination des entreprises des nouvelles technologies et leurs influences politiques lors d'élections, entre autres. « L'Amérique latine et le Brésil, particulièrement, prennent de plus en plus une position pour la régulation des réseaux sociaux », explique Nicole Sanchotene, postdoctorante et chercheuse au NetLab, laboratoire sur internet et les réseaux sociaux de l'Université fédérale de Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), interrogée par Henrique Valadarès. Et le sommet à Santiago est l'image d'« un effort collectif et un effort d'interaction, palpable notamment au Brésil, mais aussi en Argentine et au Chili ». « Le Brésil peut être un leader de ce mouvement », analyse-t-elle en avançant comme guise d'exemple « le dernier vote de la Cour suprême : c'est une page très importante qui a été tournée. On a vraiment avancé vers la responsabilisation des plateformes. » Face à cela, une étude montre les limites de l'intelligence artificielle : « l'intelligence artificielle ne parle pas maya», dénonce le quotidien El Pais. Son correspondant au Mexique révèle une étude qui vient de paraitre, sur l'aisance de l'IA dans six grandes langues amérindiennes: le quechua, le quiché, le maya, le guarani, le nahuatl et l'aymara. Chacune d'entre elles a plusieurs millions de locuteurs, mais l'IA semble les délaisser. Au mieux, elle les baragouine. «Seulement la moitié des réponses aux questions posées dans ces langues sont correctes, et encore, très courtes et basiques», explique le quotidien. Il existe aussi un biais culturel. «Les réponses font référence au contexte occidental, même quand les questions sont posées dans les langues autochtones». Cette lacune viendrait-elle du fait que ces langues seraient peu importantes ? Alors pourquoi l'IA parle bien plus couramment le basque, qui compte moins d'un million de locuteurs ? Un biais de l'occident, encore une fois... Pourtant, les enjeux peuvent être vitaux, conclut El Pais : un meilleur accès de l'IA peut permettre de développer la télémédecine dans ces communautés, comme chez les Quechuas, où le taux de mortalité infantile est de 44 pour 1000 naissances. L'IA, bien utilisée, pourrait aussi sauver des vies. La guerre entre Harvard et l'administration Trump arrive au tribunal Après des années d'affrontements, le procès s'ouvre ce lundi. Harvard accuse l'administration de violer ses droits constitutionnels en coupant environ 2 milliards de dollars de financement fédéral. Un sujet éminemment politique : le Washington Post  publie une grande frise historique de cette confrontation, et rappelle ainsi que Donald Trump en a fait un argument de campagne, depuis son discours de juillet 2023, dans lequel il promet de lutter contre «la gauche radicale» et lance une guerre totale contre «les maniaques et lunatiques», afin de «reconquérir» les universités comme Harvard. Mais c'est la radio publique NPR qui donne à entendre ce qui est en jeu ces jours ci : NPR publie un reportage où on entend Kari Nadeau, médecin et professeure d'Harvard, qui mène une étude clinique de sept ans pour réduire les allergies mortelles chez les enfants. Une recherche totalement suspendue aujourd'hui. «C'est une perte pour toutes les équipes», témoigne cette professeure, «mais nous sommes encore plus inquiets pour les patients en cours d'essais cliniques». «Ces enfants avaient commencé un traitement, l'arrêter les met en danger mortel», alerte la médecin sur NPR. En espérant que ces voix et ces histoires humaines soient entendues par les juges de Boston.   Dans le sud des États-Unis, la crainte après l'extension d'un centre de migrants En Géorgie, les autorités ont validé le mois dernier l'agrandissement du centre de Folkson. Il triplera de capacités, pour arriver à 3 000 places, ce qui en ferait le plus important du pays. Mais des organisations de défense des droits s'y opposent, notamment en raison des enjeux de santé... Reportage d'Edward Maille.   Le plus grand narcotrafiquant équatorien est arrivé aux États-Unis « Hasta nunca, Fito », titre le quotidien équatorien Espresso, en reprenant les mots du président, « À jamais ! ». Daniel Noboa se réjouit ainsi de l'extradition réussie de Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias «Fito», décrit comme le criminel le plus dangereux d'Équateur. Fito doit être présenté ce lundi à un juge de New York, qui l'informera des sept charges retenues contre lui, et entre autres du trafic de près de quatre tonnes de cocaïne vers les États-Unis. Le quotidien équatorien El Universo rappelle que l'une des conditions pour cette extradition est que ce trafiquant supposé ne soit pas condamné à la peine de mort, qui a été abolie en Équateur depuis plus d'un siècle.   Au Venezuela, on célèbre le retour de migrants expulsés des États-Unis Ils avaient été les premières victimes de la répression de Donald Trump, et envoyés sans procès au Salvador. 252 Vénezuéliens, accusés par Washington d'être des criminels, sont rentrés ce week-end, grâce à un échange à trois bandes : le Salvador, où ils se trouvaient, libère les Vénézuéliens, le Venezuela libère dix citoyens américains, dont un Franco- Américain. À Caracas, la télévision Telesur célèbre l'arrivée des ex-détenus, par un dessin où l'on voit des hommes broyés, sous le drapeau américain, qui se relèvent, fiers, en retrouvant leur patrie. Ce qui n'est pas indiqué dans les médias de ce pays au gouvernement autoritaire, et que détaille la BBC en espagnol), c'est que cet accord a aussi forcé Caracas à libérer plus d'une dizaine de prisonniers politiques, enfermés pour s'être opposés au gouvernement de Maduro.

This week Sam, English Dan, Andrés and Santi S meet to review the first round of action in the 2025 Torneo Clausura, which saw champions Platense concede three times in one game for the first time this year, not one but two injury-time winners (sort of) in the Cilindro and a less brilliant than anticipated clash of the Juniors as Argentinos and Boca ground out a stalemate.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History episodes, all with an Argentine theme. We find out more about the 1985 ‘trial of the juntas' when the country's former military leaders stood accused of torturing and murdering thousands of their own people. And we hear from historian Dr Victoria Basualdo about life in Argentina, both before and after the trial.Also, the story of the grandmothers who championed the study of genetics to find their missing loved ones. And why tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Buenos Aires in 2015. Plus, the bizarre story of Eva Peron's disappearing corpse. And finally, more on the Argentine animator who Walt Disney wanted to hire.Contributors: Luis Moreno Ocampo - prosecutor Dr Victoria Basualdo – historian, FLACSO, the Latín American School of Social Sciences Dr Victor Penchaszadeh – geneticist Agustina Paz Frontera – journalist and writer Domingo Tellechea – art restorer and embalmer Hector Cristiani – grandson of Quirino Cristiani(Photo: Forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow giving testimony to the trial, 1985.

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins presents two riveting conversations that push boundaries and challenge cultural taboos. First, she interviews Michael Taylor Jackson, writer, director, and star of the radically inventive film Orange Underground (Bajo Naranja), a satirical, punk-infused narrative born out of the Argentine quarantine. Then, she speaks with Kate Downey, creator and host of the podcast CRAMPED, which explores the hidden pain and social invisibility surrounding menstruation. Together, these conversations highlight how bold, personal storytelling can become an act of protest and empowerment. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... How Orange Underground merges satire, street art, and protest cinema to confront U.S. neocolonialism The creative process of blending real-life social media storytelling with scripted filmmaking How Argentina's unique film funding system and underground economy supported an international indie film Kate Downey's journey from theater to podcasting, and how CRAMPED sheds light on the mystery of period pain Why menstruation remains a cultural and cinematic taboo, and how media can normalize it through better representation The power of representation in shaping societal understanding of women's health and lived experiences Memorable Quotes: “We were able to develop a virtual community because we couldn't obviously live together.” “When half the population experiences something regularly, shouldn't they be reflected honestly in our storytelling?” “There is no word other than an ignorant word to describe ourselves.” “Is there any more common experience that has not been hit to death, right?” Guests: Michael Taylor Jackson Kate Downey Resources: Bajo Naranja on Instagram CRAMPED: Why Doesn't Media Talk About Period Pain?

After falling in love with the gelato shops of Buenos Aires, Josh Hochschuler came home to Dallas with a bold idea: bring authentic Argentine gelato to the U.S. He raised $600,000 from friends and family and opened a gelato shop called Talenti. The product was a hit - but the retail model wasn't. Faced with mounting losses, Josh shut down the store and moved into a warehouse to pivot to wholesale. With time, tenacity, and a now-iconic clear jar, Talenti became a national sensation, and in 2014, was acquired by Unilever. Today, it's the best-selling gelato brand in America.This episode was produced by Casey Herman and edited by Kevin Leahy, with research by Kerry Thompson and music by Ramtin Arablouei.
