Podcast appearances and mentions of Arnie Bernstein

Bradley W. Hart concludes the story of would-be "American Hitler," Fritz Julius Kuhn, the German-American Bund, and the Jewish plumber Isadore Greenbaum.  Along with contributors, Arnie Bernstein and Greenbaum's grandson Brett Siciliano, Hart recounts the critical moment Isadore confronts the fascist Kuhn in Madison Square Garden... and how both of their lives were forever changed from that day forward.

Bradley discusses the story of Fritz Julius Kuhn and the German-American Bund.  Along with contributors, Arnie Bernstein and Brett Siciliano, Hart lays out the origins of the Bund in the U.S. in the 1930s, and how Kuhn rose in stature striving to become the "American Hitler."

If you've been keeping up with the news, you've probably noticed a group of Jews who have protested in a different style than most when it comes to Israel. In fact, these protests aren't pro-Israel rallies. They're anti-Zionist rallies that have taken to pro-Hamas rhetoric and slanders that are quite dangerous for Zionist Jews globally. From takeovers of government buildings to blockades, Jewish Voice for Peace has taken advantage of the vulnerable place Israel is in and has capitalized on the opportunity to gaslight Jews and harm the Zionist narrative. Author Arnie Bernstein has had several run-ins with Jewish Voice for Peace. In this podcast, he describes to Chaz, host of Bad Jew, their origins, their mission, their hypocritical actions, and how they really aren't "pro-peace" whatsoever. Tune in to learn Berstein's experience and how he got his community to reject this misleading cause.

In this episode I interview author Arnie Bernstein about his book, Bath Massacre: America's First School Bombing. The Bath Consolidated School was bombed on May 18, 1927 by a man named Andrew Kehoe. The story is a tragic one, where at the end of the day, 44 people were killed including 38 children. It was an event that shook the country, and devastated the Bath Community with the loss of an entire generation. Mr. Bernstein gives details of the events on that horrific day, and discusses some of the survivors he interviewed as well as the painstaking task of reconstructing this story.

Arnie Bernstein was one my first guests on Most Notorious, way back on episode #26, and talked about the horrifying 1927 Bath Consolidated School massacre. Since the initial publication of his book "Bath Massacre: America's First School Bombing" in 2009, he's conducted more first-hand survivor accounts, which he has included in the updated and expanded edition of the book released earlier this year. He joins me to share some of the new information he's gathered, and to remind us that violent attacks on school children are tragically not just a recent phenomenon in the United States. The author's website: https://www.arniebernstein.com/The book can be published online, including directly through the publisher: https://www.press.umich.edu/12277500/bath_massacre_new_edition

Narrative nonfiction is an enormously viable place for storytelling. And writer Arnie Bernstein knows this genre well.  He has written acclaimed books on history's forgotten stories. Arnie joins Writer Shed Podcast host David W. Berner to talk about the keys to great nonfiction writing, his love of research, and his affinity for the typewriter. 

WGN Radio’s Rick Kogan is joined by writer/speaker/teacher Arnie Bernstein to talk about his books and new projects he is working on.

The new edition of this Michigan Notable Book includes a new introduction and stories from interviews with two additional survivors, Myrna (Gates) Coulter and Ralph Witchell, which took place after the first edition was published in 2009.On May 18, 1927, the small town of Bath, Michigan, was forever changed when Andrew Kehoe set off a cache of explosives concealed in the basement of the local school. Thirty-eight children and six adults were dead, among them Kehoe, who had literally blown himself to bits by setting off a dynamite charge in his car. The next day, on Kehoe's farm, what was left of his wife—burned beyond recognition after Kehoe set his property and buildings ablaze—was found tied to a handcart, her skull crushed. With seemingly endless stories of school violence and suicide bombers filling today's headlines, Bath Massacre serves as a reminder that terrorism and large-scale murder are nothing new.

Welcome to Chicago! Like indie bookshops across the world, there has never been a time when Bookie's Bookstore has needed its customers more. How can you help? Well, the first thing is to buy books from your local indie bookshop. If you can't go into the shop, order online, or call a bookseller. Bookshop owners aren't in the business to make millions; they're in it because they love books understand how valuable reading is to society, and believe in their community's need of a meeting place of minds.This week I chat with Keith Lewis, owner of Bookies Bookstores in Chicago and Homewood, and later, author, speaker, and teacher, Arnie Bernstein.Join me, and be inspired!MandyBookies Bookstores The Great Believers, Rebecca Makkai Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic, Armand Baltazar Arnie Bernstein Bath Massacre, Arnie Bernstein Swastika Nation, Arnie BernsteinHollywood on Lake Michigan, Arnie Bernstein The Hoofs and Guns of the Storm, Arnie BernsteinElements of Style E.L.

It's been 93 years since the Bath School Disaster.  Josh Strickland talks about a new video documentary that tells the story of Bath today and of those working to preserve the information and artifacts of America's worst mass-casualty school event.  Watch the video and learn about author Arnie Bernstein's book here. 

It's our 50th episode! To celebrate, we're going to talk about a horrible massacre. This week, a man known around town as "The Dynamite Farmer," and also known as that guy who pinches pennies, kills his neighbor's dog, and argues with everyone. Then, to top all that off, he does the unthinkable, and we proceed to try to make sense of the senseless. Plus, don't miss: Chuck Norris's cousin, Scott's dead body surprise, and how reading saves. Say hi: Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!   Sources:Lorraine Boissoneault. “The 1927 Bombing That Remains America’s Deadliest School Massacre.” Smithsonian Magazine. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/1927-bombing-remains-americas-deadliest-school-massacre-180963355/ “James J.

Contemporary mass murderers Timothy McVeigh, Columbine's Dylan Klebold, and Virginia Tech's Seung-Hui Cho can each trace their horrific genealogy of terror to one man: Bath school bomber Andrew Kehoe. BATH MASSACRE-America's First School Bombing-Arnie Bernstein   

Occasionally you hear shrill news reports about American Nazis. Judging by the pictures of them, they are almost always skin-headed morons who can’t put two words together (other than “Sieg Heil” or some such). Often it’s not clear whether they are really Nazis or are just parodies of Nazis. Or maybe, hoping for a sick laugh, they’re just having us on. One thing is clear: they are very, very few. I can say with some confidence that National Socialism is not popular in the United States and never has been. Yet as Arnie Bernstein points out in his book Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund (St. Martin’s Press, 2013), there was a brief moment when some Americans took National Socialism seriously, namely the 1930s. This fact, of course, is hard for us to wrap our minds around. It is, however, important to remember that there was a time when Fascism was not seen as pure evil, but rather as a viable alternative to democratic Capitalism and authoritarian Communism. Fortunately for Americans (but unfortunately for the American Nazis), the “German-American Bund” was led by someone who was, well, not very serious–one Fritz Kuhn. He was not a skin-headed moron. He was, as Arnie makes clear, an opportunistic, philandering, unprincipled, pilfering buffoon. So much the better for us. Listen in to this fascinating–and largely forgotten–story.
