Jahrgang 1924, Jazzmusiker & Profigitarrist (verstorben am 28. Januar 2018) Mit 13 entdeckt der Berliner Heinz Jakob "Coco" Schumann den Jazz für sich, kurz darauf schwappt die Swingwelle ins Land, ausgerechnet als der Krieg schon in vollem Gange und Swing Tanzen streng verboten war. Mit 16 spielt er das erstmal öffentlich. Ein riskantes Unterfangen. Er spielt nachts heimlich in den Clubs mit Bully Buhlan und Helmut Zacharias um die Wette. 1943 wird er denunziert und kommt in Gefangenschaft. Deportation nach Theresienstadt, dann nach Auschwitz und nach Dachau. Coco Schumann musiziert selbst in den Lagern, wird so zum "Ghetto-Swinger" und rettet sich so das Leben. 1945 kehrt er nach Berlin zurück, heiratet und bespielt mit seiner Jazzgitarre und neuer Band sämtliche Tanzschuppen rund um den Kurfürstendamm. Trotzdem wandert er 4 Jahre nach Ausstralien aus. Endgültig zurück im Wirtschaftswunder Berlin, jammt er mit Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie und Louis Armstrong. Kurz - er wurde der deutsche Grandmaster of Swing. 40 Jahre hat Coco Schumann über seine Erlebnisse während des Nationalsozialmus geschwiegen. In seinen Memoiren "Der Ghetto Swinger - erzählt der 80jährige Jazzmusiker, wie er Auschwitz und seine Peiniger überlebte und gab uns in der Hörbar ein paar Einblicke in sein spannendes Leben.

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!

We live in a time when many people believe that the existence of God is unknowable, that human reason is incapable of knowing whether God exists or that God does not exist.  This is not something new. Edith Stein, the towering intellectual saint and martyr the Church honors today, lost her faith in God during her teenage years, despite being brought up in a devout Jewish home. She was the youngest of eleven children. Her widowed mother encouraged all her children to think critically and encouraged them in their studies.  Edith's studies were interrupted by World War I. She became a volunteer nurse at an infectious disease hospital in her home town in Germany. Confronting the suffering of her patients must have been a major factor in choosing the topic of empathy for her doctoral thesis. Even with graduating summa cum laude from the University of Freiburg, she was denied a teaching certificate due to her gender. Instead, Edith became a teaching assistant to her university professor, the renowned philosopher and mathematician, Edmund Husserl. .  Edith was constantly writing and studying, but it was not until she read the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila that her life changed dramatically. She was moved to convert to Catholicism and, eventually, to enter into the convent of the Discalced Carmelites. She took the name, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, honoring her patron saint.  Her sister, Rosa, also converted and became a tertiary of the Carmelites, living outside the convent, but assisting the sisters in their mission. During the turbulent years of World War II, the leadership of the Carmelites grew concerned for the safety of St. Teresa Benedicta and her sister. They transferred them from Cologne to the Netherlands, thinking that their Jewish backgrounds would not under as much scrutiny. Soon after their transfer, however, the Dutch bishops wrote a strongly worded public letter condemning the abuses of the Nazi regime. Edith Stein also wrote a letter to Pope Pius XI, pleading that Pope must make a similar public statement against the Nazis. It is not known whether the Pope read the letter or not.   It was not long after the Dutch bishops letter that the Gestapo rounded up 244 people of Jewish descent in the Netherlands, including Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and her sister, Rosa. They were sent to Auschwitz and murdered just a week later in the gas chambers, probably on August 9th, 1942. In a statement to her Carmelite superiors, Edith wrote: “I beg the Lord to take my life and my death…as atonement for the unbelief of the Jewish People, and that the Lord will be received by his own people and his kingdom shall come in glory, for the salvation of Germany and the peace of the world…”  Even after her arrest, she was offered an escape plan, but refused, stating: “If somebody intervened at this point and took away (her) chance to share in the fate of (her) brothers and sisters, that would be utter annihilation.” The writings of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross fill 17 volumes. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1999 and is one of six patrons saints of Europe.  St. Teresa Benedicta, pray for us. Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

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.

Episode 186 - Join Nathaniel Rhea and guest Owen Duckett as they explore the inspiring life of St. Maximilian Kolbe. From his early encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary to his ultimate sacrifice at Auschwitz, discover how Kolbe's unwavering faith and love for others left a lasting impact on the world.

Every night at Auschwitz, after a draining and exhausting day, Fr Maximilian Kolbe would go quietly from bunk to bunk to care for the other prisoners, whispering: "I am a Catholic priest. Is there anything I can do for you?" His witness, courage, and faith at the notorious prison camp were the culmination of a lifetime of heroic and groundbreaking work in the service of the Lord. It is a story of true hope in what could have only seemed like the greatest darkness. On Let Me Be Frank this week, Bishop Caggiano speaks with Anthony D'Ambrosio, who has written and directed Triumph of the Heart, a stunning new film about this great saint. You can attend a special pre-release screening of Triumph of the Heart on Thursday, August 14th at the AMC Royale in Norwalk, CT.

8/6/25 - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, born Edith Stein (1891–1942), was a brilliant Jewish philosopher who became a Catholic nun and martyr at Auschwitz. Raised in a devout Jewish family in Germany, Edith lost her faith in her teens and became an atheist while studying philosophy under Edmund Husserl, becoming one of the leading minds in phenomenology. Her conversion began after reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Ávila, leading to her baptism in 1922. In 1933, she entered the Discalced Carmelite Order and took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, offering her life as a sacrifice for her people and for peace. Arrested by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz, she was martyred on August 9, 1942. She was later canonized by Pope St. John Paul II in 1998 and declared a co-patroness of Europe.

Ela girava no ar, de ponta-cabeça, enquanto o mundo congelava ao redor. Auschwitz, 1944. Naquela noite, Edith Eger dançou. Não porque sentia alegria — os pais haviam sido mortos poucas horas antes. Ela dançou para sobreviver. Para salvar sua irmã. E sem saber, sua acrobacia se tornou uma forma de oração. Um “sim” corporal, silencioso, diante do absurdo.Anos depois, ela escreveria: “A escolha é nossa: seremos vítimas ou não?”. Porque até nos lugares mais sombrios, ainda podemos responder com o que temos: um gesto, um olhar, uma entrega. A fé não é uma ideia para admirar. É uma decisão que se encarna. Uma escolha que se expressa em gestos, em ações, em carne.E é aí que tropeçamos tantas vezes: quando a fé se torna apenas inspiração sem ação. Quando os propósitos se acumulam no papel, mas nunca se transformam em pão repartido, em tempo dado, em amor que custa. São Josémaria escreveu:“Concretiza. Que os teus propósitos não sejam fogos de artifício, que brilham um instante para deixarem, como realidade amarga, uma vareta de foguete, negra e inútil, que se joga fora com desprezo.” (Caminho, 247)Não se trata de fazer muito. Mas de fazer algo. De sair do campo das ideias para o campo do real. Como Cristo, que não apenas pensou em nos amar — Ele veio, suou, sofreu, entregou-se até a última gota.Ele concretizou o Amor.E nós, o que temos feito com as boas intenções? É hora de escolher entre o brilho vazio dos fogos ou a luz firme de um ato de amor.

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.

2006-ban komoly vita alakult ki Semjén Zsolt, a Kereszténydemokrata Néppárt (KDNP) elnökének kijelentései kapcsán, amikor őt az Országgyűlés Emberi Jogi Bizottságába jelölték. Korábbi nyilvános megszólalásai — például a vallásszabadságot és a szexuális kisebbségeket érintő megjegyzései: "Hitlerék is magánügynek tekintették a vallást, jött is utána a Gestapo, Auschwitz..." vagy: "Aki azt szeretné, hogy a tizenéves fia első szexuális tapasztalatait egy szakállas bácsitól szerezze, szavazzon nyugodtan az SZDSZ-re!" — ténylegesen összeegyeztethetetlenek voltak a bizottság szellemiségével. E kijelentések nyomán több ismert értelmiségi nyílt levélben tiltakozott Semjén bizottsági tagsága ellen. Ebben az itt közzétett, 2006-ban készült archív beszélgetésben Majsai Tamás, teológus és Lánczi Éva, a tusarok.org főszerkesztője osztották meg gondolataikat a politikai felelősségről, a keresztény értékek hiteles képviseletéről és a közbeszéd silányuló minőségéről. Ez az interjú ma is talán fontos lenyomata annak, hogyan reagált a társadalom egy politikai szereplő megosztó retorikájára.Hogyan támogathatja a munkánkat? - Legújabban már a Donably felületen is támogathat bennünket, itt ÁFA-mentesen segítheti munkavégzésünket: https://www.donably.com/friderikusz-podcast - De lehet a patronálónk a Patreon-on keresztül is, mert a támogatása mértékétől függően egyre több előnyhöz juthat: https://www.patreon.com/FriderikuszPodcast - Egyszerű banki átutalással is elismerheti munkavégzésünk minőségét.

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...

At Auschwitz a system of punishments was in place for prisoners who broke camp regulations. In addition to official penalties, SS garrison members and functionary prisoners also imposed so-called unofficial punishments. Dr. Piotr Setkiewicz, head of the Research Center at the Auschwitz Museum, explains the types of punishments and the offenses for which men and women prisoners could be punished.=====Voiceover: Tom Vamos, Mike Skagerlind

W obozie Auschwitz istniał system karania więźniów za złamanie regulaminu obozowego. Dodatkowo załoga SS oraz więźniowie funkcyjni wymierzali tzw. kary nieregulaminowe. O rodzajach kar i przewinieniach, za które więźniowie lub więźniarki mogli zostać ukarani opowiada dr Piotr Setkiewicz, kierownik Centrum Badań Muzeum Auschwitz.

En lidt længere sommer special, hvor vi dykker ned i noget der måske kan være lidt sværere at slå to streger under. Facit er ikke så eksakt!Her er Karinas noter til dagens afsnit: Empati Definition:The ability to imagine oneself as another person is a sophisticated process. However, the basic capacity to recognize emotions in others may be innate[5] and may be achieved unconsciously. Empathy is not all-or-nothing; rather, a person can be more or less empathic toward another and empirical research supports a variety of interventions that are able to improve empathyFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmpathyMan kan skelne mellem Empati: Evnen til at forstå og dele andre følelser. At sætte sig selv i en anden persons sted. Man føler det samme som dem man har empati med. (Man kan ikke have empati med sig selv).Medfølelse: At man føler med nogen (man føler ikke det samme. Ens medfølelse er rettet mod en person og de følelser de har).Sympati: At man har sympati for nogen. Der er meget konflikt i disse definitioner, jeg tror heller ikke at der er hårde linier imellem de forskellige begreber.Fælles er at man forstår et andet menneske.Evnen til Empati er indfødt i os. Mirror Neurons:Er ikke nogen bestemte neuroner.Når man laver en handling, så lyser bestemte steder i hjernen op. Når man ser nogen andre gøre disse samme handlinger, så lyser disse steder i hjernen igen op. Det er en spejling og disse neuroner kaldes spejl-neuroner. Dette ses både i dyr og mennesker. Selve dettte system bunder nok i hvordan vi lærer fra andre. We model the people around us and other people model from us. Den sociale Hjerne:We are wired to see faces. We are looking for social connection / social safety.Social Pain - feels like physical painSocial good feelings - activate pleasure paths in the brain=> which gives us social sensitivity. Hvad er Empati biokemisk set?The neurobiology of empathy involves a complex interplay of brain regions and neurotransmitters, notably oxytocin, which enhances social cognition and empathy. Mirror neurons, found in the premotor and parietal cortices, are also crucial for understanding and sharing actions and emotions with others. Empathy is linked to various brain areas, including the limbic system, and involves both positive and negative emotionsKey aspects of the neurochemistry of empathy:Oxytocin:This neuropeptide is a "morality molecule" that promotes social bonding, love, and empathy.Mirror Neurons:These specialized neurons fire when we perform an action or when we observe someone else performing the same action, contributing to our understanding of others' intentions and actions.Limbic System:This area of the brain, responsible for emotions and bonding, plays a significant role in empathy.Prefrontal Cortex:Areas like the dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortex are involved in cognitive empathy, allowing us to understand and interpret others' mental states.Other Neurotransmitters:While oxytocin is prominent, other neurotransmitters and hormones, like cortisol, also influence social interactions and empathy.Genetics:A small percentage of the variation in empathy between individuals is due to genetic factors-------------------------------------Degeres of EmpatyMan kan være mere eller mindre empatisk over for andre. Ofte har vi et Bias, som hindrer os i at føle med alle.BIASESEmpathy is triggered-If something is right in front of us-If something is familiar to us / family-If something resonates with past experiences... These we call bright spots. We all have blind spots. Extending Empathy (growing your empathy) is giving attention and focus to blind spots.-People you tend to avoid => often because they are difficult to understand/empathize with, because they and their experiences are different from you. => More effort needed to understand and the brain/ppl are lazy. Empaty Gap:An empathy gap, sometimes referred to as an empathy bias, is a breakdown or reduction in empathy (the ability to recognize, understand, and share another's thoughts and feelings) where it might otherwise be expected to occur. Empathy gaps may occur due to a failure in the process of empathizing[1] or as a consequence of stable personality characteristics,[2][3][4] and may reflect either a lack of ability or motivation to empathize.Empathy gaps can be interpersonal (toward others) or intrapersonal (toward the self, e.g. when predicting one's own future preferences). A great deal of social psychological research has focused on intergroup empathy gaps, their underlying psychological and neural mechanisms, and their implications for downstream behavior (e.g. prejudice toward outgroup members).Film/Bøger er Empathy machines! There are 2 separate sets of empathy networks in the brain1) Feeling: Mirroring emotions and reading emotions. Imagine intensely what is being felt. (zooming in - can be overwhelming)2) Thinking: Mentalizing the though of another. Why are there these feelings? (zooming out - distancing your emotions by factualizing)--------------------------------------------------EVERYTHING STARTS WITH ATTENTION / OPMÆRKSOMHED!Uden det kan man slet ikke starte empatien.Less empathy in the world, perhaps because we give our attention away to our phones. ------------------------------------Empathy is what enables you to understand another point of view. A polarized society has a lack of empathy. —————————————-Selvom vi med rette ser empati som et personlighedstræk, er det også en evne, der kan blive aktiveret gennem sociale oplevelser. Når vi identificerer os med en gruppe ofre, fornemmer vi et 'vi', der knytter os til medlemmerne af gruppen.Vi ved, at både empati og identifikation med en anden gruppe fremmer positive relationer til andre.https://videnskab.dk/kultur-samfund/kan-man-blive-mere-empatisk-af-at-besoege-mindesmaerker-for-folkedrab/"Vi fandt, at undervisningen om holocaust og turen til Auschwitz øgede elevernes tendens til at identificere sig med og tage jødernes perspektiv sammenlignet med de elever, der ikke deltog.Begge grupper udviste dog lige stor empatisk bekymring."--------------------------------------------------Psykopater og mangel på empati.Et forsøg med Psykopater og alm. mennesker: Deres hjerner scannet mens at de så nogen komme til skade.

If someone does not understand the feelings of pain the same way as other people, they probably don't understand the pain that other people may be experiencing.Also, a 2020 review showed that the brain networks used in processing pain are also used to process empathy. This could mean that if people higher in psychopathy don't feel as much pain themselves, their perceptions of other people's pain could also be reduced via this shared network.Just because you show higher psychopathic traits does not necessarily mean you are going to be the lead character of your own true crime documentary, though. In fact, recent research, including a 2022 study, noted psychopathic traits can be positive and help people regulate their emotions.Surgeons and other medical professionals show high levels of psychopathic traits, particularly the stress immunity part of the personality trait.Perhaps this is what allows medical professionals high in psychopathic traits to stay calm under pressure, allowing them to make quick, rational decisions without being overwhelmed by stresshttps://videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed/skanninger-afsloerer-hvad-psykopaters-hjerner-har-til-faellesGustave Mark Gilbert QuotesI think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.( 1950 book The Psychology of Dictatorship)

Many Jews were reluctant first-hand witnesses to Nazi cruelty and suffering.    For many Hungarian survivors,  often deliberately misled about the truth of Auschwitz's existence, betrayal only added to their pain. Risa Shayowitz - aged a young 95 years old - relays that tragedy, even as she looks only to move forward. An American chaplain in the US Army in April 1945 - Rabbi Hershel Schachter - opened up the gates of Hell. In a little known recording, we hear him describe the piles of bodies, the still warm crematoria and the emaciated Jews he discovered there. His dedication gave life to many.   Our duty nowadays is to understand what Exile means and how Tisha B'Av gives us that ability.   For further details on the Poland trip 3rd-6th November with Rabbi Hersh & Rabbi Tatz, email: Giana.elav@gmail.com   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Jewish Heritage and History 01:50 The Remarkable Life of Riza Indic-Kaufman 04:34 Survival Stories from Auschwitz 11:14 Life in Auschwitz: A Personal Account 19:36 The Impact of Loss and Resilience 25:50 The Role of Liberators: Rabbi Herschel Schachter 30:20 Experiencing Buchenwald: A Chaplain's Perspective 40:53 Rebuilding Lives After Liberation 51:53 The Journey to Switzerland and New Beginnings 01:00:33 Reflections on Suffering and Redemption

We speak of 'Holocaust Survivors' without understanding what they survived, without knowing the trauma and guilt they carried.  A young 16-year-old girl was taken through the cruelty of Auschwitz - and asked by Mengele to decide the fate of her own mother.  How did she find the strength of mind? How did she become a beacon to others, learn to redefine freedom and turn her wounds into a source of hope?  And how should Tisha B'Av redefine our understanding of exile?    Chapters: 00:00 The Journey Begins: A Survivor's Tale 19:04 Reunion and Resilience: Finding Family After the War 24:55 Life After Liberation: Struggles and Triumphs 28:05 Facing New Challenges: The Fight for a Future 28:10 The Decision to Leave 30:23 The Escape Plan 31:53 A New Life in America 33:20 Confronting the Past 36:55 Lessons from Auschwitz 43:08 Moving Forward from Trauma 55:00 The Power of Belief

When the opportunity arose to join the Project Mesorah trip to Poland, we didn't know exactly what to expect—but we had one assurance from Rabbi Spero: this would be a life-changing journey. And it was. This year, in the season of Tisha B'av, join us as we recount our emotional trip following the footsteps of the victims, from Chachmei Lublin, to Majdanek to Auschwitz. Follow us as we say Kaddish where so many were martyred. Listen to us as we sing Hamalach Hagoel where countless children spent their last moments as a sacrifice to future children victims of the war. And most of all, be inspired from hearing how we saw the words of the Torah fulfillfed: וְאַף־גַּם־זֹ֠את בִּֽהְיוֹתָ֞ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ אֹֽיְבֵיהֶ֗ם לֹֽא־מְאַסְתִּ֤ים וְלֹֽא־גְעַלְתִּים֙ לְכַלֹּתָ֔ם לְהָפֵ֥ר בְּרִיתִ֖י אִתָּ֑ם כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י ה' אֱלֹהֵ-יהֶֽם׃ Yet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling My covenant with them: for I Hashem am their G-d. ________ ** We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts, Ari Scharf, Rabbi Spero, and the entire Project Mesorah team for the unbelievable opportunity they gave us in joining their trip.  What are you waiting for?

Transcript of the Interview: Manya Brachear Pashman:   Israeli stand up comedian Yohay Sponder: first gained popularity for his funny Monday shows in Tel Aviv, which attracted a following on YouTube. A few years ago, Sponder made the decision to perform Israeli comedy in English to reach a wider audience and a wider audience it has reached. He has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, and in May, launched the North American leg of his international tour in Baltimore.  Sponder is with us now on the sidelines of AJC Global Forum 2025. Sponder, welcome to People of the Pod.  Yohay Sponder:   Thank you so much for this eulogy. Manya Brachear Pashman:   I'm curious how you found your way to stand up comedy and tell us a little bit about your upbringing in general.  Yohay Sponder:   Doing comedy, I always been fascinated about the laughing reaction of humans. You know, it's fascinating, if you think about it, if you have the ability to improve the frequency in the room. As a kid, I was really intrigued by that. So you saying few things, and people go, haha. It's like designing a vibe.  So as a kid, I was attracted to that. So as a kid, you watch video cassettes, back in the day, I would watch all of the comedy stuff. I had all of them cassettes. I was very, very affected by it, impersonations, imitating them, doing jokes of my own, and always around that.  And in my show, I'm talking about comedy. I have a bit about comedy in my show that I'm saying that I was, I wasn't just the class clown in my school. I was the jokes technician. If you had a broken joke or a joke that didn't work, you would come to me. I would fix it for you, bring it back. Not using it as my own resume. I would bring it back, when it's fixed. Manya Brachear Pashman:   That's great. So you helped others clown around as well. Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, I was a clown teacher.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Were you raised in a secular home, a particularly Jewish home? Yohay Sponder:   I was raised in a, let's say secular but Jewish, celebrated holidays, family Friday night family dinners. But we weren't like super Shabbat keepers. I think I became closer now, when, after my father passed away, I for the Kaddish and I put tefillin a little bit. And the war, you know, this war, activated a lot of Jews to the to this kind of level. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Right. You're sitting across from me, and you're wearing a gigantic Star of David. On your chest. Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, you see what she did, you see what she did? You're sitting across and you're wearing a gigantic Star of David.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Have you always worn that or did you put it on after October 7? Yohay Sponder:   No, it's after the war kicked in. I don't know. I had a vision that that's what we should do right now. We need to be out there and show other Jews that we're there. That's what I felt. And I imagine that, I need a big star of David. And the day I thought about it, I saw that. So there was a sign for me, like I had this vision, that I need a big star of David here. And less than 24 hours, that one find me. I didn't look for it. It came across my eyes. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Which I imagine you'll be wearing your Magen David on tour. The tour itself is called Self Loving Jew. What is the meaning of that title? Yohay Sponder:   So, basically, you know, this is so awesome, because before October 7, you could argue of other opinion. You could hear some people saying, Yeah, but maybe we should this. After October 7 that we know so all these monsters that came and attack us, the self hating Jews that they're doing now, super horrific, disgusting job of mocking us. And I find it really bad, and I think so I'm I'm bringing the other side. I'm just bringing the you know, it doesn't mean that I hate someone that is not Jewish. I'm just, I want to inspire other people to be to love themselves, even if they're not Jewish. But as Jews, we have to love us, because we're probably the last ones to love us, and if we won't love us, that's that's over for us.  And people, people saying that it's very harsh to compare the self hating Jews of now to the Kapos and and I'm saying, yes, it's it's not fair for the Kapos, because they didn't have a choice. You guys have a choice, and you did it just for likes and for other people from other cultures to like you. I really, I really believe.  I really deeply believe I'm coming from there. I'm coming from the war. I really believe that the people that don't, they don't give us the credit, people that not supporting Israel, they're uneducated. I really believe in that they don't know enough. They might be not bad people, but they might be stupid people.  Self hating Jews, like whatever Dave Smith, all these guys that try to be liked by, you know, others, and they they just out of their own idiocy. Listen, you don't know anything about what's going on. As Douglas Murray told them, ou've been there. You saw those things that you're talking about when you're saying, Israel, starving the Gazans you're never seeing the the trucks that going every day. You're You're an idiot. You're just an idiot. You listen to other people, and you listen to other lies.  And they will say, No, I just want peaceful. We all want peace. Just the fact that you're Jewish, it means that you want peace. We say Shalom when we see each other, when we say Shabbat Shalom. The holiest day of the week. We say telech bshalom, tachzor bshalom. Go in peace, come back in peace. You don't want peace more than I want. We all want peace, but we're willing to fight for peace because we have to make sure that no innocent people from both sides, by the way, will get hurt.  So yeah, it's really bad and shitty situation, war, but you blame us without checking it. So anyway, I don't want it to make it too much political. It's not political, by the way, Self Loving Jew. It's about loving yourself and being, you know, being in touch with what's going on right now.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So there is so much misinformation out there, you launched your you started doing English language comedy to reach a wider audience. Now you're doing an English language international tour. Do you have a message that you want to get out to the wider world to especially this region where there is so much misinformation and misunderstanding? Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, the message is that, we're living in a time that it's very hard to agree on something, and I really miss the days that we all agree that the world is round. You know, a little long ago, a few years ago. But yeah, the message is that you do your research and come to laugh with us.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   It's an important message that gets forgotten. October 7, and its aftermath were so horrific. Did you press pause on your comedy career for a little while? At what point did you find it acceptable to make people laugh again in the aftermath? Yohay Sponder:   No, it took time. It took time. It took a day. Manya Brachear Pashman:   One day. Okay. Yohay Sponder: Because right after that, after the attack, they start to arrange people to go to volunteer in squads and families that got evacuated from their house and soldiers and hospitals, people got wounded. So I've been around. I did that. That was my duty service. And also I did regular reserves duty, stuff like that.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   And what did you do on reserve duty?  Yohay Sponder: I was in Ramat Gan patrol. So not super serious, but I did what I did.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   And at what point did you go back to the stage and so more standup? Yohay Sponder:   So I'm running the show Funny Monday, I think roughly a month after October 7, we get. Maybe two months, yeah, something like around that. January, maybe, I remember, like a little bit after that, the show went back and we did stand up in English. People really followed what's going on in Israel. No matter what you do from the country, they follow that. And we had strong they were saying, Wait, Shahar Hassan, my co-host, very good friend. Really funny man, serious comedian, like one of A-list, Top list. And people follow, people watching what we have to say. That was the main purpose of Funny Monday, when we launched it in 2016 nine years ago.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Did it shift? When you restarted it after October 7, was it different? How so?  Yohay Sponder:   Yeah. We always talked about current events, what's going on in the world? It's the international perspective of not just news, but Israel perspective and stuff like that. So in that case, you're talking about Iran's attack. What the news with Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu? Whatever is happening politically, or current events and yeah, people were more attached to the screen those days. And also in comedy. It's a great form of art to deliver, you know, your point of view, or your, yeah, your what you want to say. So it's, it was great to do that, and till this very day, that's what we do.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So you really though, have to read the room, right? I mean, different audiences, I imagine, receive your comedy in different ways, especially in different regions of the world. So I'm curious if there are differences in the kind of humor that resonates with an Israeli audience, and the kind of humor that resonates with an American audience or a European audience. Yohay Sponder:   So that's the thing, why I love my country so much, because you can just stand up in any form you want. You can go as dark as you want in Israel or as political as you want. We have some issues right now with people having fight with each other, of political issues, and we have a lot of demonstrations and stuff. So there's that. But beside that, you can get away with a lot of what people say here in America, woke culture, politically correct. In Israel, we don't have it. You don't stand up like in the 80s. If someone looks gay in the audience, you say, Hey, you look gay man. That's very gay. You're fat. You these, you're old, you're very brown. We just say that, and that's fine. No one canceled. We don't even know what it means to cancel someone. No one get canceled in Israel. Manya Brachear Pashman: Holocaust humor, is that acceptable in Israel? Yohay Sponder: Yeah, it's not just it's acceptable. For example, from my wife's point of view, she was shocked when people came back to say, wow, mitlachot poh shoah—the shower was like, it's the Holocaust. Holocaust shower. They sang that. There's something that you say in the army and it's kind of fine. No one like, hey, how can you compare this? Because the water was cold, so they were called. So they say, but in the Holocaust, no water at all, was gas.  And also, when my wife told me, Don't honk like this, it's ghetto. You know, it's American thing to say, Don't honk. It's ghetto. It's like, I'm pretty sure that in Auschwitz, they didn't have cars.  Manya Brachear Pashman: She's talking about a different kind of gheto.  Yohay Sponder: And she said, like, you can't do these jokes. Yeah, you can't do this. She's like, she's from American perspective, you can't do these jokes. It's horrible. It's like, that's jokes we do here all the time. And in Israel, you use Nazi sometimes, like, as a, not only as a bad thing. It's like, accuracy. You say, like, Nazis coming on time. I need a Nazi plumber, not . . . someone that is a good commander. When I'm having the perspective of my wife and American people, I understand how horrible that is.  However, some Holocaust survivors testify that they had humor in the camps. They used humor, even dark humor, in the camps, and it helped them raise their frequency and raise their morality and maybe survive, maybe humor saved them. So when you saying too soon, sometimes it's, yeah, it's too soon for someone but it's okay for someone else.  I see black humor as spicy food. We all have our own scale for it. You can, you can eat spicy like a crazy mental person, and I can just taste it. And, you know, it's too harsh for me, and vice versa. So I did jokes about October 7, in November 7, and horrible ones, and it was also with the Holocaust. That's how horrible that was. So maybe it's too soon for the Holocaust. It's too soon for October 7. I said, the people that compare compared October 7 to the Holocaust. And I'm saying at least in the Holocaust, no one kidnapped Holocaust survivors. It's not even a funny, like, haha, funny. It's like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, that's the joke. It's not a joke of a punch line. It's a punch in your belly. Yeah. Manya Brachear Pashman:   What have been some of the most memorable moments from your shows, from your live shows, and I'm talking good and bad, have there been really positive responses and have there been really ugly? Yohay Sponder:   So let's just take this afternoon in Paris that I'm sitting in my hotel and Instagram and social media exploding from what's going on with the releasing of the Bibas babies. That we're getting back coffins, and I'm getting, I don't know, hundreds of messages from people that like we don't know if we're coming to the show. Two shows sold out in a huge theater in Paris. I'm not there every day. That's the show. That's it. One day since October 7, and no one knows when I'm going to come again. And my heart is broken, and people tell me we want to come but we can't. What do you think we should do?  Now, I responded to all of them, my wife and I responded to all of them, you do what you feel. I totally support your feelings. And the show is going to happen, and we get together tonight, and it's going to be a group hug, but if you can't make it, that's fine. I went on stage with an orange tie that I bought, and we talked it through. Arthur is the comedian and producer of those shows. He opened the show, he talked about the situation, and we did the shows. Now, that's the beauty of it, that's, that's the genome of the Jewish people. That's so in us to . . . . what we talked earlier about the Holocaust survivors that testify that they want to laugh, they want to have a good time. They don't want to let these terrorists decide for us what we gonna feel. Yeah, we feel bad. Yes, you're the worst people on the planet. I wish God will wipe you out, or IDF as fast as possible. You're a disgusting dirt of…but for us, for what we can do right now, we're gonna, we're gonna do our best to raise our morality and frequency. And I did the shows. I'm not gonna lie to you, I was very sad. But you know, the people that, that's what Bob Marley said after, he got shot, you know, and he did the show anyway, and he said, the people that want us to feel bad, they don't take a day off. So how could I? That's a very nice thing to say. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You had a show at City Winery where some people in the audience came with, maybe with intentions to protest, or at least they expected to disagree with you, and they met up with you after the show. And what happened? Yohay Sponder:   After my show, one of the presidents of the BDS organizations. She approached me and she said, we came to hassle the show. We came to ruin your show. So like, why you didn't do it? And she said we were waiting for the right moment, but the more the show went on, the more we liked what you said. You talk a lot about peace, you talk a lot about mutual values and how to solve problems, and you talk about the nice things of the Jewish tradition and the Jewish religion. We couldn't ruin that. We have conscience and we also liked you.  They liked the show. They wanted to ruin it, but they loved it, and they laughed. I told her, that's exactly what I do. In my stand up show, when you see that bit, it's with the whole structure of what happened there and how I almost made peace with these guys, but it didn't work out.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Maybe you need to do your stand up routine in Gaza and that would solve everything. Yohay Sponder:   I checked that. They don't have comedy clubs there. I said that when I hosted the show, we have an Arab comedian, a friend of ours. You know, people like they don't know that, but Arab-Israelis, are Palestinians. To their definition, to the Palestinians definition, it's the same thing, but they don't identify as Palestinians. It's like we're Muslims, we're Arabs. Anyway, they're with us. They're like siblings to us.  So when I introduced him, I also made fun of the situation. I said, When is going to be in Palestine? When it's going to be the Jewish comedian goes on stage like you going here and stuff like that, and there is no comedy clubs in Ramallah or in Gaza, but Inshallah, when there will I go and I do a spot. Manya Brachear Pashman:   How many of your shows, as you've been traveling around, have actually been canceled or moved or postponed. I read something about your Amsterdam show, for example, was moved to an undisclosed location because of security concerns. Has that happened elsewhere? Yohay Sponder:   Australia. And they tried to cancel my show in Brussels, didn't make it. They tried to cancel my show in Paris. They couldn't make it, but demonstrated outside. And every time that thing happened, I got a lot of press covers and interviews, and people get insane. And like, oh, we have to support and come to see the show. So every time it happens, I doubling or sometimes tripling the amount of people. Which is so weird, you know, because they're always the people they hate us. Always go, oh, Jews, money and you guys this, and you made me make more money. I didn't want to make that much money.  I want to make third of the amount of money. But because of your protesting. Your hate, that's how bad you are of what you do. And how amazing we are what we do. You know, I didn't want to make that much money, so now I hire them, the protesters. So they work for me.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   They do your marketing, generate publicity. So none of the shows have been successfully cancelled? Yohay Sponder:   No, the Amsterdam show canceled. The Boom Chicago, which also surprising. Your name is Boom Chicago. What's your security concerns. That's gonna be a boom. Let it be.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   But I thought it was moved.  Yohay Sponder:  We moved that like because they a week before the show, they said we're not doing the show. And was like, guys, let me respond. Let me say something. No, no. Police said that. We called the police. We have their numbers, you know, we call them. They say, No, we didn't talk to them. And then they wrote, we can help you find a Jewish venue. So I told him, we can help you find a Jewish lawyer. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So there was no show? Yohay Sponder:  Not in the Boom Chicago. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Got it. Yohay Sponder:  And I'll never go there. Manya Brachear Pashman:   And not in Amsterdam?  Yohay Sponder:  No, it was in Amsterville.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Got it, okay. Amsterville, is that next to Amsterdam? Yohay Sponder:   Turns out, yeah, they didn't know that too. Was was a very nice theater, I think, three times' size of the Boom Chicago, and we had a great time. And I'll go there again. And it's not just the Boom Chicago, when we try to rebook it, a lot of other venues, more than 30 venues, didn't want to have me there.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So is there anything else that I haven't asked you that you really want to share with our audience? Yohay Sponder:   Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm not sure that the audience is going to be 100% Jewish, right? So the message is going to be split for both. So I'll talk to them. So if you guys are Jews, I wanted to know that everything's going to be fine, and we got this, and raise your head, and we're good. We're going to be good. This is probably the last one. It's the last one. I think Messiah is coming, right? We're going to be fine, all right?  And if you're a non Jewish person watching it, you're an ally. So I want to thank you. We don't take it for granted. It's very important that you're around. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Sponder, thank you.  Yohay Sponder:   Thank you so much.   

Today, host Allen Ruff is joined by journalist Joan Walsh to talk about her recent piece in The Nation, “The Abominable Sadism of Alligator Auschwitz,” in which she draws the comparison between the new camp and the Holocaust.  The post Joan Walsh Discusses the Cruelty of “Alligator Auschwitz” appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

Some distinctions between Auschwitz and Gaza? Gaza is much bigger. And the genocide is being financed and armed by the US and most of the rest of the western world.

In den 1970er-Jahren machte der israelische Geheimdienst noch Jagd auf alte Naziverbrecher wie Adolf Eichmann und Josef Mengele. Den KZ-Arzt, der sogenannte Todesengel von Auschwitz, bekamen die Israelis zu Lebzeiten allerdings nicht zu fassen. Eine neue israelisch-amerikanische Fernsehserie spielt im Umfeld dieser Suche in den 1970er-Jahren. Dabei wird ein Holocaust-Überlebender, gespielt von Oliver Masucci, unfreiwillig Teil dieser Spionage-Aktion.

Violinist and trumpeter Louis Bannet was a celebrated jazz musician in Holland, often called “the Dutch Louis Armstrong.” Once the war began, he was arrested and sent to Auschwitz where he faced a chilling ultimatum: pass an audition for the camp orchestra or be sent to his death. Join Ken Shuldman, author of Jazz Survivor: The Story of Louis Bannet, for a conversation about Bannet's life before, during and after the Holocaust and how jazz music saved his life. In conversation with jazz musician Joe Alterman, executive director of Neranenah.

Una historia que desafía toda lógica humana: los Ovitz, una familia de artistas enanos que recorrían Europa oriental con su "Lilliput Jazz Troupe", acabaron siendo los únicos protegidos del mismísimo Joseph Mengele en Auschwitz. Mientras millones morían, ellos tenían una casita de muñecas y vestían ropa de calle. El propio Mengele los salvó de las cámaras de gas... para convertirlos en sus cobayas favoritas. Óscar Fábrega desentraña esta paradoja histórica donde la supervivencia dependió de ser lo suficientemente "extraño" para despertar la curiosidad científica del Ángel de la Muerte. Una historia real que ningún guionista se atrevería a inventar. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Dass sie ein Musikinstrument spielen konnte, rettete Anita Lasker-Wallfisch das Leben; sie überlebte Auschwitz, weil sie dort im Mädchenorchester Cello spielte. Zu ihrem 100. Geburtstag wiederholen wir ein Gespräch von 2010.

C'était il y a tout juste 80 ans. Le 27 janvier 1945, le camp de concentration et d'extermination d'Auschwitz-Birkenau, situé en Pologne, était libéré par l'armée russe. La Shoah fera 6 millions de morts, dont un million dans ce camp, épicentre de la solution finale : l'extermination programmée, à l'échelle industrielle, des Juifs d'Europe par l'Allemagne Nazie. (Rediffusion) 80 ans après, le camp est devenu un musée et un mémorial visité chaque année par de nombreux étudiants, qui ont un rapport parfois distant avec l'histoire de la Shoah. Reportage avec de jeunes lycéens français originaires de Toulouse.   De notre envoyé spécial à Auschwitz,  C'est un marathon express en Pologne. Un aller-retour dans la journée et une visite de quelques heures pour se plonger dans un pan entier de l'histoire, concrétiser des mots, des récits et des images, étudiés en classe. Ces lycéens étudient au lycée Pierre-Paul Riquet de Saint-Orens-de-Gameville, dans l'agglomération de Toulouse. Parmi eux, Malack, 17 ans. La lycéenne doit bien l'admettre, elle ne connaissait pas l'histoire de la Shoah. « C'est grâce au professeur que j'en ai entendu parler. On m'a parlé des Juifs, de leur extermination, mais ce n'était jamais détaillé, ce n'était pas approfondi comme aujourd'hui », déroule-t-elle. La trentaine d'élèves s'est levée très tôt et a embarqué dans un avion depuis Toulouse, jusqu'à Cracovie, la seconde ville de Pologne, située à 70 kilomètres d'Auschwitz-Birkenau. Avant d'entamer la visite, l'ambiance est plutôt détendue, ponctuée de quelques batailles de boules de neige à la descente du car. Plusieurs élèves, dont Yann, avouent regarder avec un certain éloignement l'histoire de la Shoah. « C'est dans les livres d'histoire, plante le jeune homme. On en entend parler, on voit quelques photos, mais venir ici c'est une vraie opportunité de découvrir l'histoire de l'Europe et de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. » Le mot « guerre » lui évoque davantage celle en Ukraine, à 200 kilomètres à vol d'oiseau. Loann dresse une analyse similaire : « La guerre au Moyen-Orient, la guerre en Ukraine : Je me sens beaucoup plus proche de ces guerres aujourd'hui car on a des images, des vidéos, des reportages, sur ces guerres, et elles sont plus médiatisées qu'avant. Auparavant, on n'avait pas du tout conscience de ce qui se passait dans ces camps. » Bâtiments en ruines En ce mois de janvier 2025, 20 centimètres de neige recouvrent ce qu'il reste de Birkenau, le deuxième des trois camps d'Auschwitz, où débute la visite. Une grande partie des constructions en pierre sont détruites et Loann apparaît quelque peu déboussolé : « Le fait que les bâtiments soient en ruines, on a du mal à imaginer leur fonctionnement. Mais venir ici, ça permet de mettre en forme tout ce que l'on voit en cours. On comprend vraiment l'importance de ce camp dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale », insiste le lycéen. Une première visite permet de matérialiser les faits au-delà des mots de la guide qui accompagne les élèves : la visite d'un baraquement. En silence, les élèves arpentent la construction où s'entassaient et dormaient sur des planches en bois, les prisonniers du camp. « C'est à la fois triste et extrême, c'est angoissant, il y a une atmosphère pesante », commentent Anaïs et Mélanie. Malack, qui n'avait que très peu entendu parler de la Shoah, se plonge peu à peu dans le récit. « Je peux imaginer ces gens-là en train de vivre ces atrocités. J'arrive un peu à ressentir ce qu'ils ont dû ressentir à l'époque. » Le système concentrationnaire de Birkenau se concrétise aussi sous les yeux de Nina, 17 ans. « Déshumanisation », « humiliation » : peu à peu, la jeune lycéenne met des mots sur l'horreur et rapproche l'événement de sa propre histoire : « C'est vrai que ça me paraît un peu loin parce que ça date d'une époque où je n'étais pas née. D'un autre côté, c'est un combat qui me touche aussi car tout ce qui est racisme, antisémitisme, ce sont des choses que je peux encore vivre aujourd'hui. Je suis encore confrontée aux racistes. Et même si cette histoire est loin, ce sont des combats qui sont toujours actuels. » Des noms et des visages, la Shoah à hauteur d'hommes et de femmes La Shoah se raconte aussi à hauteur d'hommes et de femmes. C'est le parti pris d'Auschwitz I, aujourd'hui musée et mémorial, que s'apprêtent à visiter les élèves. Et c'est aussi le choix réalisé par Mary Albagnac, l'enseignante d'histoire. Toute l'année, ces lycéens étudient les récits de déportés originaires de Toulouse et de ses environs et vont tenter de retrouver leurs traces dans les archives du musée. « En passant par la petite histoire, ça leur permet de mieux comprendre, on pense, la grande histoire, et aussi de connaître davantage le patrimoine et l'histoire locale, explique Mary Albagnac. On se rend compte qu'ils habitent pas très loin du camp d'internement sur lequel on a travaillé, mais qu'ils ne savaient pas du tout qu'il existait et qu'il s'était passé de tels événements sur leur territoire qu'ils pratiquent tous les jours. Ce projet permet de s'identifier plus facilement à ces personnes, à ces enfants, à leur destin, leur parcours, qui nous amènent à Auschwitz. » Des prénoms, des noms, des dates de naissance : plus de quatre millions de victimes connues de la Shoah sont répertoriées dans le livre des noms, dans lequel se plongent désormais les élèves. Romane part en quête du nom d'un déporté originaire des environs de Toulouse, un certain «Rosenwasser». La lycéenne interpelle sa professeure, « Je crois que je l'ai trouvé ». La professeure coupe court : « Il serait mort le 15 août 1942. Et bien non, ça ne marche pas, puisqu'il est censé être déporté le 26 août 1942. » Un peu plus loin, Loann et Roman se sont quelque peu écartés de la consigne initiale. « On cherche une personne que l'on a en commun et que l'on connaît, développe Loann. On essaye de voir s'il y a peut-être un de ses descendants qui est ici et s'il y a son nom de famille dans le livre. » Mais la quête se révèle fastidieuse, constate Roman. « Je cherche un nom de famille précis et je trouve quand même dix personnes qui ont ce nom de famille. C'est impressionnant, ça montre vraiment la diversité des personnes qui ont été touchées par le génocide. »     Effets personnels Aux images d'archives se superposent désormais, plus seulement des noms, mais des visages et de nombreux effets personnels. La Shoah s'incarne à travers des lunettes, des cheveux, des milliers de paires de chaussures, rassemblées derrière une immense plaque de verre. « Là, on est sans voix, on est bouche bée face à cet amas d'objets, de prothèses. On se rend compte réellement du massacre que ça a été et du nombre de personnes qui ont été tuées. Je suis choqué de l'espace que ça prend et du nombre d'objets et de chaussures qu'il y a », explique Loann. À Auschwitz, ce sont un million de personnes qui ont été amenées en train, afin d'y être triées, gazées et incinérées. Pour les élèves qui le souhaitent, la visite s'achève par un passage devant un four crématoire. « Tout le monde rentre ? », interroge par précaution Mary Albagnac, l'enseignante. Tous les élèves pénètrent et découvrent le summum de l'horreur. « Cela fait peur, réagit immédiatement Yann. Parce que les bâtiments sont en assez bon état et en entrant dedans on s'imagine ce qu'il s'est passé auparavant. » Transmettre la mémoire Face aux preuves parfois crues et brutales de la Shoah, aucun élève ne reste insensible. Reste à savoir ce qu'ils feront de l'exigence de mémoire et de l'importance de la transmettre. Une mission plus difficile à mener aujourd'hui qu'il y a quelques années, à en croire l'enseignante d'histoire, Mary Albagnac : « Les derniers témoins disparaissent ou sont de plus en plus fragiles, donc on a du mal à les faire venir sur les événements. Et l'autre souci que j'identifie, c'est que la jeune génération a accès à tout, dans l'instantané, à tout moment et a parfois du mal à faire le tri. Avec ce projet, on veut les faire travailler sur les sources historiques, leur montrer comment on fait de l'histoire, comment avoir un regard critique. Et la professeure de poursuivre : «On sait que ça ne marchera pas avec tous, mais on se donne les moyens d'y arriver avec ce type de projet. » La mémoire de la Shoah demeure encore une mémoire incarnée, grâce au récit qu'en font encore les rescapés. Mais la force de ce récit est condamnée à s'amenuiser avec la disparition des derniers survivants, estime Alexandre Doulut, guide accompagnateur du mémorial de la Shoah : « Pour avoir vu dans les yeux des jeunes leurs réactions face à quelqu'un qui a été la victime d'Auschwitz, qui raconte quel a été son quotidien, je peux vous assurer que nous, si on passe derrière en tant qu'historien avec nos connaissances brutes, ça a une portée cent fois plus minime, c'est évident. » Cela signifie-t-il pour autant que l'on puisse un jour complètement oublier cette histoire ? « Oui, personne ne peut dire quel sera l'état de la mémoire, dans dix ans, dans vingt ans, c'est très versatile la mémoire, reprend Alexandre Doulut. Mais moi je suis plutôt optimiste. » Transmettre, un poids ou un défi ? Nina, 17 ans, doit bien le reconnaître, avant cette année, « elle n'aurait vraiment pas pensé parler de la Shoah. Cela me touchait, mais je n'étais pas sensibilisée au fait de devoir retranscrire. » À la question de savoir si la lycéenne se sent capable ou non de transmettre cette mémoire, elle hésite d'abord, puis se lance : « Moi, je ne m'en sens pas vraiment capable. Je raconterai à mon entourage proche, car eux, ils me connaîtront personnellement et c'est dans l'intimité que l'on raconte ces choses, puisque ce sont des traumatismes. » Nina ne se sent pas d'en parler car elle a peur, « peur de mal raconter, d'oublier des détails, d'offenser les petits enfants des familles ». Mais l'idée que l'on puisse totalement oublier cette histoire « l'effraie ». À ses côtés, Juliette lui oppose d'autres arguments. « C'est à nous de porter cela. Ce n'est pas un poids, c'est quelque chose que l'on va devoir faire et c'est à nous d'assumer ce rôle. Il ne faut pas se priver d'en parler, ça ne doit pas être tabou, on ne doit pas ne pas en parler parce que ça a été très grave. Il faut justement en parler. Ce n'est pas un défi qui doit faire peur. » Ginette Kolinka, passeuse de mémoire Quelques jours plus tard, au mémorial de la Shoah à Paris, des rires se font entendre dans l'auditorium. Sur scène, Ginette Kolinka houspille la modératrice de la conférence : « Posez-moi une question, mais une vraie ! Sinon je mélange tout, le départ et le retour ! » La mémoire fait parfois défaut, mais à presque 100 ans, Ginette Kolinka n'a rien perdu de sa répartie et de la force de son récit. « Hitler voulait nous humilier et il a su trouver tout ce qu'il y avait pour le faire », rappelle-t-elle. Infatigable passeuse de mémoire, c'est encore à la jeune génération qui l'écoute dans l'auditorium qu'elle s'adresse ce soir-là, avant d'entamer un dialogue plus direct entre deux dédicaces et de répondre à quelques questions de journalistes : « Aux jeunes, je le dis et le redis : qu'ils parlent au plus grand nombre de personnes possibles en leur spécifiant que ce n'est pas une fiction. Ce qui a été écrit, ça a été vécu, on en est les survivants », insiste la rescapée. Puis, Ginette Kolinka s'adresse à une jeune fille qui lui présente son ouvrage à dédicacer : « Toi, tu es une petite fille et j'espère que quand ça sera le moment de parler de ça dans ta classe, tu diras "moi j'ai vu quelqu'un qui l'a vécu, j'ai vu deux dames, tu peux dire âgées, ça ne fait rien, et qui l'ont vécu ! " »Reste une dernière interrogation : a-t-elle confiance dans la jeune génération pour porter cette mémoire ? La réponse fuse : « Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire confiance ou pas confiance ? Je ne suis pas obsédée par ce qu'il va se passer après. Moi, je vis le présent. Quand je vais dans les écoles, je m'aperçois qu'il y a beaucoup d'enfants qui m'écoutent, des plus jeunes et des moins jeunes. On vit le présent. Ils ont écouté. Cette petite fille a écouté. Peut-être que demain elle va le raconter à sa maîtresse. Et bien moi, ça, ça me suffit. »

From the bestselling author of Born Survivors, a novel inspired by the powerful true story of a man who risked everything to protect children in Auschwitz. Fredy built a wall against suffering in their hearts . . . Amid the brutality of the Holocaust, one bright spot shone inside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. In the shadows of the smokestacks was a wooden hut where children sang, staged plays, wrote poetry, and learned about the world. Within those four walls, brightly adorned with hand-painted cartoons, the youngest prisoners were kept vermin-free, received better food, and were even taught to imagine having full stomachs and a day without fear. Their guiding light was a twenty-seven-year-old gay, Jewish athlete: Fredy Hirsch. Being a teacher in a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat. Forced to beg senior SS officers for better provisions, Fredy risked his life every day to protect his beloved children from mortal danger. But time was running out for Fredy and the hundreds in his care. Could this kind, compassionate, and brave man find a way to teach them the one lesson they really needed to know: how to survive? The Teacher of Auschwitz shines a light on a truly remarkable individual and tells the inspiring story of how he fought to protect innocence and hope amid depravity and despair.
