How do the tears of our ancestors guide our prayers today? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbanit Shalhevet Cahana prepare for Rosh Hashanah through the lens of Parshat Netzavim and the holiday's Torah readings. They explore the sound of the shofar as both coronation and weeping, and how the Torah highlights the tears of women—Sarah, Chana, and Rachel—as models of prayer. Against the backdrop of October 7 and its aftermath, they ask what it means to cry in a way that leads to resilience, protest, and hope. This Rosh Hashana podcast is sponsored by Ricki and Dr. David I. Bernstein in memory of Ricki's parents, Beatrice and Murray Kirschblat z”l, survivors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, respectively. Beatrice and Murray were each the sole survivors of large families which perished in the Shoah.
In this episode, we explore the incredible story of St. Maximilian Kolbe—a man who kept hope alive in the darkest place on earth. While many know of his heroic sacrifice at Auschwitz, fewer have heard how he inspired his fellow prisoners to sing hymns of faith and defiance as they faced death together.For guest Anthony D'Ambrosio, Kolbe's legacy became deeply personal. After enduring eight years of a mysterious illness that stole his ability to sleep, Anthony began to experience visions of St. Maximilian. These encounters became a source of comfort and strength during his darkest nights. When Anthony later traveled to Poland to honor his hero, God placed a new mission before him: to make a film on a shoestring budget that would capture the power of grace even in humanity's most desperate hour. Anthony said yes and in the process, he found healing, restoration, and a renewed calling to share Kolbe's message with the world. Don't miss this powerful conversation about faith, suffering, and the courage to answer God's call.Check out the movie at: https://triumphoftheheart.comNEW: Watch ad-free episodes and bonus Lila Rose Show content at https://rosereport.supercast.com as well as https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

For decades thousands of pregnant women across the UK were prescribed the drug Diethlystilbestrol or DES, a synthetic hormone that was meant to help prevent miscarriage. But the drug left a legacy of life-altering health problems for some of their children, including infertility and rare cancers. Anita Rani speaks to ITV Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker who has investigated what they are calling a medical scandal that continues to devastate lives, talking to the women who say more must be done to help those exposed to the drug as new concerns emerge over the impact of DES on a third generation. Author Heather Morris wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which went on to become one of the bestselling books of the 21st century. Her new novel, The Wish, follows Jesse, a 15-year-old with terminal leukaemia who wants to have a digital 3D recreation of her life for her family and friends. To accomplish this, she connects with Alex, a lonely CGI designer. The book explores their unlikely friendship and its impact on both of their lives. Heather joins Anita to talk about mortality, family, healing through connection and what it means to be remembered.Last week we heard from three women who have had a loved one take their own life. They spoke honestly and movingly about what happened to them in the immediate and long term aftermath of such a loss. Today we are taking a look at the historical context of suicide. Anita speaks to BBC New Generation thinker Dr Stephanie Brown, who is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hull and doing research in this area. In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn. That resurgence, along with her popular Kitchen Discos that got lots of us through the lockdown set the scene for her bravely titled new album, Perimenopop, which is released tomorrow, a celebration of womanhood in middle age. Sophie joins Anita in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

rWotD Episode 3049: Hermann Baranowski Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 8 September 2025, is Hermann Baranowski.Hermann Baranowski (11 June 1884 in Schwerin – 5 February 1940 in Aue) was a German politician and military figure. A member of the Nazi Party, he is best known as the commandant of two German concentration camps of the SS Death's Head unit. In April 1900, at the age of fifteen, he volunteered for the navy and fought in the First World War, serving aboard the SMS Moltke. In 1912 he married August Dibbern with whom he had two children, a boy and a girl. In 1930 he was discharged as a lieutenant and then worked first as an office clerk in Kiel and later as a sales representative in Hamburg.Baranowski joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party) in 1930. The following year he signed up for the SS (SS #24009). His first appointment was as the leader of the 4th SS Standarte in Hamburg-Altona. In March 1936 Himmler appointed him commandant of the Lichtenburg concentration camp. However, he was soon removed, demoted and sent as a Lagerführer (compound leader) at Dachau concentration camp.However, in 1938 he was promoted to Schutzhaftlagerführer at Dachau concentration camp. He served as the commandant (SS-Oberführer) of Sachsenhausen concentration camp from May 1938 until September 1939. He died at Aue in 1940.He was noted to be especially sadistic. However, Rudolf Höss, commandant at Auschwitz, described Baranowski as: very strict and hard, but of a scrupulous sense of fair play and fanatical sense of duty. As a very old SS leader and National Socialist he became my role model. I constantly saw in him a grander reflection of myself. He also had movements where his good nature, his soft heart revealed themselves, and yet he was hard and uncompromisingly strict in all matters of duty. So he constantly brought home to me how the hard 'must' demanded by the SS had to silence all soft stirrings.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:10 UTC on Monday, 8 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hermann Baranowski on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

It's Friday, September 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Museum honors victims of genocide against Jews in Romania The Romanian city of Iași hosts the Pogrom museum, which was created to honor the victims the largest genocide against the Jews that took place on Romanian territory, preceding the deportations to Transnistria and the concentration camps at Auschwitz, reports Evangelical Focus. The museum was opened in the former headquarters of the Romanian police on June 29, 2021, the 80th anniversary of the killing of over 13,200 Jews in the yard of that building. In a story which aired on Alfa Omega TV, a Romanian broadcaster, the reporter explained, “Jews from the ages of 18 and up, were summoned, lured into a trap by being told to come and receive a pass for free movement. Romania had entered the war, and they could not move freely without that pass. However, they were met by Romanian and German soldiers who mercilessly machine-gunned them.” Before the genocide of the Jews, they brought in several Jews to dig the pits. The mass graves in which thousands of those Jews are buried can be visited in a field close to the museum. In addition to those who were executed, over 4,000 Jews were loaded into the so-called “death trains.” Initially, they put 40–50 people in a wagon, but the stationmaster refused to “waste wagons.” So, he packed in up to 100–120 people per train, standing pressed together. In the midst of this tragedy, there were “Christians from various denominations and even a colonel from the Romanian army, who saved Jews in those days.” DC sues Trump over National Guard The District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Sept. 4 over its deployment of the National Guard to the nation's capital, reports The Epoch Times. The lawsuit alleges that the deployment violates the district's semi-sovereign status known as Home Rule, whereby the city has jurisdiction over its own affairs but Congress can override its decisions. The lawsuit states, “In so doing, [President Donald Trump] has run roughshod over a fundamental tenet of American democracy—that the military should not be involved in domestic law enforcement.” In a statement to The Epoch Times, the White House criticized the lawsuit and defended the deployment of the National Guard. White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump is well within his lawful authority to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C., to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement with specific tasks. This lawsuit is nothing more than another attempt—to the detriment of DC residents and visitors—to undermine the President's highly successful operations to stop violent crime in DC.” Trump asks Supreme Court to quickly take up tariffs case The Trump administration took the fight over tariffs to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, asking the justices to rule quickly that the president has the power to impose sweeping import taxes under federal law, reports American Family Radio News. The government called on the court to reverse an appeals court ruling that found most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are an illegal use of an emergency powers law. It's the latest in a series of Trump administration appeals to a Supreme Court he helped shape, and one that is expected to put a centerpiece of the president's trade policy before the justices. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit left the tariffs in place for now, but the administration nevertheless called on the high court to intervene quickly. Cheerleader charged with delivering, harming, & hiding her baby A University of Kentucky cheerleader is facing multiple charges after police found her dead newborn infant hidden in a closet, wrapped in a towel, and concealed inside a black trash bag, drawing reactions from activists on both sides of the abortion debate, reports the Christian Post. Laken Snelling, age 21, was arrested on Sunday and charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant, according to the Lexington Police Department. During an appearance in court on Tuesday, Snelling pleaded not guilty. The American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs said, "This heartbreaking and tragic incident is all the more painful as Kentucky has a safe haven law that allows parents to surrender their children, no questions asked.” Indeed, Kentucky's Safe Infants Act allows parents to leave a newborn baby under 30 days old at a police station, fire station, an emergency medical services provider, or a staffed place of worship without fear of prosecution or allegations of neglect. In a video posted on her Instagram on Tuesday, pro-abortion writer Jessica Valenti was upset that police and the media in Kentucky said that Snelling had delivered an infant. Listen. VALENTI: “I really need reporters to stop using the word ‘baby' or ‘infant' until they actually know what happened in this case, because we don't know yet. We only know what police are telling us.” Oddly enough, Valenti believes that if a woman has a miscarriage that it somehow diminishes the value of the baby, and therefore, no one should call her baby a baby. In Psalm 139:13-14, Scripture quite clearly affirms the humanity of the child, no matter how early in gestational development and no matter the cause of death. King David wrote, “For You, [God], created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, [God], because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Christian song “Whisper and the Wind” amassed 23 million streams And finally, you might recognize the name Bodie Kuljian from the 22nd season of The Voice back in 2022 when he won second place. The married 32-year-old singer-songwriter, who is also the father of three young children, signed with Provident, a Christian record label. No Skips is his first full-length album, which releases today. The project comes after a string of chart-topping singles, millions of streams, and Dove Award nominations. In fact, his song entitled "Whisper and the Wind" amassed more than 23 million global streams, and won Bodie the grand prize in the International Songwriting Competition. Take a listen to an excerpt from this song that honors God as the One who fulfills us and guides us. (audio of song's opening) “When I'm feeling my feet are tired From running so hard for miles You are the air I really need When life is a rollercoaster And I start to lose composure You're in the drops and in between And every time I'm stuck in indecision Losing my vision You close the distance And I don't need to see it to believe it For my whole life, You've been that all I've needed And I, I've felt You in the fire and the rain So help me learn to listen when You're speaking 'Cause love is not a secret that You're keeping And I, I've felt You when walls are caving in Yeah, You're with me in the whisper and the wind” (Check out the rest of the lyrics) Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, September 5th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Cześć! W najnowszym odcinku serii Powojnie opowiem Wam o jednym z najtragiczniejszych miejsc w dziejach świata. Tym razem spojrzę na Auschwitz nie przez pryzmat II wojny światowej i niemieckiej fabryki śmierci, lecz tego, co działo się tam tuż po wyzwoleniu obozu przez Armię Czerwoną. To temat praktycznie nieobecny w polskich mediach, a wydarzyło się naprawdę wiele.Sowieci utworzyli w Auschwitz obóz jeniecki dla Niemców. Na terenie kompleksu powstał też ogromny szpital, w którym byli więźniowie próbowali odzyskać siły po pobycie w tym piekle. Lekarze walczyli o życie ludzi wycieńczonych gruźlicą, zapaleniem płuc i chorobą głodową. A co stało się z ciałami ofiar pozostawionymi w obozie? Czy odbyły się pogrzeby w Auschwitz-Birkenau? Jaki los spotkał dzieci-sieroty, które w niemieckiej fabryce śmierci straciły rodziców?Na te pytania odpowiem w dzisiejszym odcinku.

I 40 år har minnesplatsen för förintelselägret Auschwitz-Birkenau varit stängd för stora filminspelningar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Prisbelönta filmer som ”Schindler's list” och ”The Zone of Interest” har fått hitta andra lösningar för att kunna skildra det systematiska mördandet i lägret.Men nu blir det möjligt för filmprojekt att få tillgång till området. I ett omfattande digitaliseringsprojekt ska filmbranschen få en detaljerad 3D-scanning av området – en virtuell inspelningsplats.P1 Kulturs Emma Engström ringde upp två av de ansvariga för projektet, och frågade: hur får bilden av Auschwitz se ut?

Durch den „Erzgebirgskrimi“ wurde Lara Mandoki einem breiten Publikum bekannt – dort spielte sie Kommissarin Szabo. Am liebsten dreht sie jedoch historische Projekte wie „Die Spaltung der Welt“, „Vienna Blood“ oder „Das Boot“. Besonders spannend: Sie nimmt uns ein Stück weit mit hinter die Kulissen von „Die Spaltung der Welt“, wo sie die Rolle der Hedwig Höß verkörperte, die mit ihrem Mann direkt neben dem Lager von Auschwitz lebte. Für Lara war das die bislang härteste Rolle – und wie sie an diese Dreharbeiten herangegangen ist, schildert sie sehr bewegend. Auch ihre eigene Familiengeschichte ist besonders: Ihr Vater Leslie floh mit nur 21 Jahren aus Ungarn nach Deutschland. Warum er auch ihr damit eine Lebensaufgabe mitgegeben hat, erzählt sie hier.
Ref.: P. Christoph Kreitmeir OFM, Klinikseelsorger und Autor Vom Sinn des Lebens Der Klinikseelsorger P. Christoph Kreitmeir über Viktor Frankls Logotherapie als Hilfe im Leben In diesem Jahr wäre Viktor Frankl 120 Jahre alt geworden. Am Sterbetag des Begründers der Logotherapie sprechen wir mit dem beliebten Seelsorger P. Christoph Kreitmeir OFM darüber, warum Frankls Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens so entscheidend für die psychische Gesundheit ist. Frankl war überzeugt: „Wer ein Warum und ein Wofür in seinem Leben hat, der erträgt fast jedes Wie. Seinen therapeutischen Ansatz hatte er als Jude in der Hölle der KZs Theresienstadt und Auschwitz durchbuchstabiert. Wie die Sinnfrage auch unserem Leben Halt geben kann, darauf wird P. Christoph in der Lebenshilfe auch mit praktischen Ratschlägen und Beobachtungen aus seinem Alltag als Klinikseelsorger eingehen.

Gail Eisnittz joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about structuring her memoir around her pursuit of answers to a lifelong medical mystery, coming to terms with her own humanness, writing about her career in animal advocacy, exposing the underbelly of the meat industry and effecting change for millions of animals, working on difficult and hard-to-sell material, not sharing a book project with friends and loved ones until it's complete, weathering a difficult submission process, allowing herself to soften emotionally, becoming more in touch with self-compassion, and her new memoir Out of Sightz: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Also in this episode: -factory farms -writing what feels right -discovering what holds the book together Books mentioned in this episode: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku The Choice by Dr. Eva Edith Eger The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the forthcoming memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act – the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than forty years. Eisnitz's work has resulted in exposés by ABC's Good Morning America, PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1,000 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere ten years ago – was diagnosed after she began writing her memoir – and is revealed at the book's climax.

“The future is coming.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting trio – Ian, Liam & Megs – for our 293rd episode as we pop our claws, don our leather suits, and revisit the film that redefined the superhero genre for the new millennium: X-Men (2000). Kev and Georgia? They're cage fighting in Northern Alberta—because of course they are. This week we discuss: Ian and Liam get into a dust-up about what constitutes a gang—whose side are you on? What's with all the wavering accents in this film? How on earth did Magneto know that Rogue had her powers when Rogue, Wolverine, and even Professor X didn't? Ian delights in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo by a Canadian Prime Minister (true patriot love). We reflect on Auschwitz as a tourist destination and Ian shares a story about a fashion faux pas that might have landed him on the wrong tour. Was Anna Paquin actually the biggest star attached to the film at the time of its release? You won't guess what Bryan Singer banned from the set—and no, it wasn't claws. Our favourite ghostwriter pops up once again—this time with a surprising link to X-Men. Alternate casting choices: the Wolverine that makes us laugh out loud, and a Professor X that would've been a disaster… but we still want to see it, even if the studio told him to “beat it” (not like that). How do superheroes actually get their names? That's the class we wanted to see at Xavier's. What exactly are the rules of Mystique's powers again—and why is Toad weirdly overpowered? Which character has the worst trash talk despite having the perfect set-up? (Spoiler: lightning shouldn't strike twice.) We talk about meeting up with two Friends of the Podcast this week and drinking pints no matter the occasion. One cast member opens up about a wardrobe malfunction that made mutant fashion even harder to pull off. And finally, whether X-Men (2000) is the Best Film Ever—or just the first stepping stone on the path to superhero dominance.

Deze zomer geven we je elke zondag een luistertip uit ons archief. Deze week is dat Roadtrip naar Auschwitz. De reeks is niet wéér een podcast over 'den oorlog'. Nee, het is een epische reis die in 1941 begint met een groot familiedrama in Polen. Tachtig jaar na dat drama stapt journalist Evelien Rutten in de wagen met haar tienerdochter Hera en de Poolse zussen van haar overleden moeder: tante Misha en tante Wanda. Samen trekken ze naar Duitsland, Polen en Oostenrijk, op zoek naar sporen van de wereldgeschiedenis die tot vandaag nog terug te vinden zijn in hun eigen DNA. Wie waren babcia en dzadzia, de Poolse grootouders van Evelien? En hoe is het mogelijk dat ze toch een relatief normaal leven konden leiden, nadat ze allebei in een concentratiekamp gezeten hebben?

From Jordan's Waters to Eternal Life: Living Christ's Command of Love The Homily weaves together the Gospel command of Christ . . . . . . to “love one another as I have loved you” with the biblical symbolism of the Jordan River, the sacrament of Baptism, the Eucharist, and the witness of St. Maximilian Kolbe. The crossing of the Jordan foreshadowed baptism, where Christ consecrated the waters to grant eternal life. Baptism is not merely symbolic but transforms us into sharers of Christ's death and resurrection, directing us toward our eternal homeland. The Eucharist deepens this call, reminding us that love means self-giving. St. Maximilian Kolbe embodies this truth, freely offering his life in place of another at Auschwitz, living out Christ's command of sacrificial love. The newly consecrated tabernacle at the shrine thus becomes a profound sign of Christ's abiding presence, love, and the command to imitate Him. Listen to this Meditation Media.

After threatening Americans with raising their taxes by 68%, President Trump managed to strong-arm Republicans in Congress into passing his Big Burglary Bill: a sweeping economic and policy package that slashes healthcare funding, shuts down hospitals, inflates ICE's budget to be larger than the Marines', opens new concentration camps in Florida, adds $3.4 trillion to the national deficit, and gives billionaires even more tax breaks than ever before.So why didn't more people try to stop it?

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Priest and Martyr Lectionary: 416The Saint of the day is Saint Maximilian Mary KolbeSaint Maximilian Mary Kolbe's Story “I don't know what's going to become of you!” How many parents have said that? Maximilian Mary Kolbe's reaction was, “I prayed very hard to Our Lady to tell me what would happen to me. She appeared, holding in her hands two crowns, one white, one red. She asked if I would like to have them—one was for purity, the other for martyrdom. I said, ‘I choose both.' She smiled and disappeared.” After that he was not the same. He entered the minor seminary of the Conventual Franciscans in Lvív–then Poland, now Ukraine—near his birthplace, and at 16 became a novice. Though Maximilian later achieved doctorates in philosophy and theology, he was deeply interested in science, even drawing plans for rocket ships. Ordained at 24, Maximilian saw religious indifference as the deadliest poison of the day. His mission was to combat it. He had already founded the Militia of the Immaculata, whose aim was to fight evil with the witness of the good life, prayer, work, and suffering. He dreamed of and then founded Knight of the Immaculata, a religious magazine under Mary's protection to preach the Good News to all nations. For the work of publication he established a “City of the Immaculata”—Niepokalanow—which housed 700 of his Franciscan brothers. He later founded another one in Nagasaki, Japan. Both the Militia and the magazine ultimately reached the one-million mark in members and subscribers. His love of God was daily filtered through devotion to Mary. In 1939, the Nazi panzers overran Poland with deadly speed. Niepokalanow was severely bombed. Kolbe and his friars were arrested, then released in less than three months, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. In 1941, Fr. Kolbe was arrested again. The Nazis' purpose was to liquidate the select ones, the leaders. The end came quickly, three months later in Auschwitz, after terrible beatings and humiliations. A prisoner had escaped. The commandant announced that 10 men would die. He relished walking along the ranks. “This one. That one.” As they were being marched away to the starvation bunkers, Number 16670 dared to step from the line. “I would like to take that man's place. He has a wife and children.”“Who are you?”“A priest.” No name, no mention of fame. Silence. The commandant, dumbfounded, perhaps with a fleeting thought of history, kicked Sergeant Francis Gajowniczek out of line and ordered Fr. Kolbe to go with the nine. In the “block of death” they were ordered to strip naked, and their slow starvation began in darkness. But there was no screaming—the prisoners sang. By the eve of the Assumption, four were left alive. The jailer came to finish Kolbe off as he sat in a corner praying. He lifted his fleshless arm to receive the bite of the hypodermic needle. It was filled with carbolic acid. They burned his body with all the others. Fr. Kolbe was beatified in 1971 and canonized in 1982. Reflection Father Kolbe's death was not a sudden, last-minute act of heroism. His whole life had been a preparation. His holiness was a limitless, passionate desire to convert the whole world to God. And his beloved Immaculata was his inspiration. Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe is a Patron Saint of: AddictsRecovery from drug addiction Learn about Kolbe House Prison Ministry!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 14, is the Memorial of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe (1894-1941), a Polish Franciscan, friar, priest, and martyr of Auschwitz, who founded a movement of Marian consecration called Militia of the Immaculata, With his preaching and writing, he undertook an intense apostolic mission in Europe and Asia.Imprisoned in Auschwitz during the Second World War, he offered himself in exchange for a young father of a large family who was to be executed, Francis Gajowniczek.When the captors couldn't kill him from starvation in the concentration camp, they ended his life with a lethal injection on August 14, 1941.In 1927, he established an evangelization center near Warsaw called Niepokalanow, the "City of the Immaculata." By 1939, the City had expanded from eighteen friars to an incredible 650, making it the largest Catholic religious house in the world.To better "win the world for the Immaculata," the friars utilized modern printing and administrative techniques, enabling countless catechetical and devotional works, a daily newspaper with a circulation of 230,000, and a monthly magazine with a circulation of over one million.Maximilian started a shortwave radio station and planned to build a motion picture studio—he was a true "apostle of the mass media." He established a City of the Immaculata in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1930, and envisioned missionary centers worldwide.Maximilian was a ground-breaking theologian. His insights into the Immaculate Conception anticipated the Marian theology of the Second Vatican Council and further developed the Church's understanding of Mary as "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity, and as "Advocate" for God's people.Pope St. John Paul II canonized him in 1982 and proclaimed him a "martyr of charity" and "Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century." Francis Gajowniczek was in attendance.He is a patron of journalists, families, prisoners, the pro-life movement, and the chemically addicted.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• August 14, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
In this second episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, we look at “red martyrdom” giving one's life for Christ. On his feast day, we share the inspiring story of St. Maximilian Kolbe: from his childhood vision of two crowns, one white for purity and one red for martyrdom — to his brave fight against evil through his love for the Blessed Mother. You'll hear about his arrest for helping refugees, his time in Auschwitz, and the moment he offered to die in another man's place. Even in the starvation bunker, his days were filled with prayer, song, and a deep peace that only God can give. Stay tuned for the next episode — the touching story of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr,” who offered her whole life to God through suffering.

“I was in Auschwitz 6-7 weeks ago,” world-renowned author and physician Dr. Gabor Maté says, “at the very spot where my grandparents landed, before they were sent to the gas chambers, where my mother and I almost ended up in June of 1945. We came very close. And nothing in the world ever resembles the horror of Auschwitz, but the spirit of it, the inhumanity, the cruelty of it, the starving of people, the killing of starving people—that's going on right now, and the world is watching.” In this urgent installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name” on The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Dr. Maté about growing up Jewish in the wake of the Holocaust and being Jewish in the midst of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.Guest:Dr. Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician, Holocaust survivor, and a world-renowned expert on addiction and trauma.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 412The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the CrossSaint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is a Patron Saint of: Converts to ChristianityEurope Learn more about Saint Benedicta of the Cross!

When World War II ended, SS officer Adolf Eichmann disappeared. As a key organizer of Nazi Germany's Final Solution, the genocidal program that murdered 6 million European Jews, Eichmann became one of the most hunted men on earth. For 15 years, he remained hidden. But in 1957, through the efforts of a West German lawyer, a blind man, and Israeli intelligence, Eichmann's trail was found, leading to Buenos Aires, Argentina… SOURCES: Arendt, Hannah.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Hans von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Department of Justice launching a grand jury investigation into the “Russiagate” hoax. 4:20pm- Rich saw the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson—and it was surprisingly good! 4:35pm- Patricia Posner—Journalist & Author of the book, “The Pharmacist of Auschwitz”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest piece for The New York Post, “Zohran Mamdani's NYC could look like Sadiq Khan's far-left London and New Yorkers should be terrified.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2025/08/02/opinion/zohran-mamdanis-nyc-could-look-like-sadiq-khans-far-left-london/. 4:50pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/05/2025): 3:05pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 3:15pm- Fun Fact: Did you know that the total number of House members briefly expanded from 435 to 437 in 1959 when both Hawaii and Alaska became states. Congress temporarily approved of the expansion to prevent any existing state from losing a seat immediately upon the Hawaii/Alaska admission. 3:40pm- While appearing on CNBC, President Donald Trump said of Texas redistricting efforts: “We are entitled to five more seats.” 3:45pm- In response to Texas's redistricting attempt, Governor Gavin Newsom has pledged to redistrict California—presumably removing several Republican congressional seats. Interestingly, Republicans currently hold just 17% of the congressional seats in CA—despite nearly 40% of the state voting for Donald Trump in 2024. Doesn't that suggest the state is already heavily gerrymandered? Comparatively, Democrats currently hold 32% of the House seats in Texas (with one vacant seat in a district that is reliably blue—so, the real number is closer to 34%). Kamala Harris won 42% of the Texas statewide vote in 2024. 4:05pm- Hans von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Department of Justice launching a grand jury investigation into the “Russiagate” hoax. 4:20pm- Rich saw the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson—and it was surprisingly good! 4:35pm- Patricia Posner—Journalist & Author of the book, “The Pharmacist of Auschwitz”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest piece for The New York Post, “Zohran Mamdani's NYC could look like Sadiq Khan's far-left London and New Yorkers should be terrified.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2025/08/02/opinion/zohran-mamdanis-nyc-could-look-like-sadiq-khans-far-left-london/. 4:50pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. Following the EO signing, Trump took questions from the press—including on the war between Russia and Ukraine, supplying food to the people of Gaza, transgender athletes competing in the Olympics, halting illegal border crossings, redistricting efforts in Texas, and the possibility of the Trump Administration paying Americans a “dividend” using some of the money saved via DOGE's government waste cuts. Plus, who does he think will be the Republican presidential nominee in 2028? He hinted at a potential JD Vance-Marco Rubio ticket! 5:40pm- Earlier today, President Donald Trump toured construction projects he's funding at the White House—including a quick stroll on the roof! 5:45pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Reflecting on visits to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Auschwitz, I confront how nations remember war. Japan's peace museums mourn tragedy but omit crucial context—atrocities committed, wars started. Without honest memory, peace becomes propaganda. I explore the necessity of truth, universal moral codes, and the dangers of forgetting why wars begin, not just how they end...
