Vancouver Holocaust survivor Adam Policzer, 87, is marking three major milestones this summer: the publication of his first English-language Holocaust autobiography in the form of a 60-page graphic novel, The House Across the Street; the premiere of a documentary about his life; and the 80th anniversary of his reunion with his father after the Second World War in July 1946. Eighty years ago, Policzer was reunited with his father, who had fled Hungary before the outbreak of the Second World War and found safety in Chile. But the child and his mother didn't get out in time before the Nazis invaded Hungary. So, Policzer's mother arranged to hide her young son with the Christian family living across the street in the city of Miskolc. She was later deported to Auschwitz, and eventually perished in a Nazi slave-labour camp in Poland. Policzer eventually moved from Chile to Vancouver, B.C. in the 1970s, where he worked as an architect. He and his wife wanted to leave a memoir for their grandchildren, so he drew his story as a graphic novel, published in Canada in June by Dirty Water Comics. Policzer believes he is one of the few child survivors who vividly remembers the Holocaust, and possibly one of the only survivors to tell his story as a graphic novel with his own drawings. The story has also inspired a new documentary about him which recently premiered at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival. On today's fresh episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, Adam Policzer joins host Ellin Bessner to explain how drawing his images helped him deal with his Holocaust trauma, while paying tribute to the Christian family that repeatedly risked their lives to save his, but never qualified for recognition by Yad Vashem. Also joining are the filmmakers Jamie Michaels and Liam Karp, both from Winnipeg.

Watch the trailer for the new documentary about Adam Policzer, called “I draw them the Best I Can”, which had its world premiere at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival on June 8, 2026. Check out director Jamie Michael's 2019 graphic novel “Christie Pits” in The CJN , and also co-director Liam Karp's solo Holocaust short film called “Tattoo” (2023), which also screened at the TJFF in June.

Conversion doesn't always happen in a single blinding moment of clarity. Sometimes, like drops of water slowly filling a glass, conversion to the Catholic faith is the result of countless conversations, experiences, and quiet moments accumulated over many years.In today's episode, I speak with Lucinda -- a teacher and Cambridge graduate -- about her journey to the Catholic Church. Through conversations with friends, encounters with Evangelical Christians and faithful Catholics, and even a visit to Auschwitz, Lucinda gradually came to understand and embrace the Catholic faith.Lucinda's conversion story is a powerful reminder that every small act of kindness, every thoughtful conversation, and every example of faithful living can shape another person's search for truth in ways we may never see.Donate via PayPalSupport us on Patreon!Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/

Among the unique artifacts held in the collections of the Auschwitz Memorial are fairy tales created while the camp was in operation. Crafted out of a heartfelt need, and in the hope of leaving behind a trace of their authors, these stories were smuggled out the camp. Their creators were prisoners employed in the camp's Construction Office. With the help of people on the outside, they passed these fairy tales on to their loved ones. The story behind the fairy tales from Auschwitz is told by Jadwiga Kulasza, a retired employee of the Memorial Archives, as well as family members of the authors: Felicjan Świerczyna, son of Bernard Świerczyna, and Andrzej Czulda, son of Henryk Czulda.=====Voiceovers: Greg Littlefield, Michael Takiff, Kate Weinrieb
durée : 00:59:19 - Les émissions culturelles de France Culture - par : Patrick Boucheron - "Ce n'est pas l'œuvre d'un seul homme mais d'une civilisation" écrivait Elaine de Kooning à propos de "L'Homme qui marche" de Giacometti. Iconique et antimonumentale à la fois, cette sculpture prend place dans une longue lignée de corps défaits au sein de l'histoire de l'art d'après Auschwitz. - équipe : Laurence Millet, Sophie-Catherine Gallet, Anouk Minaudier Vous aimez ce podcast ?

Los griegos lo imaginaron ciego y errante y hasta siete ciudades griegas se disputaron ser su cuna, pero desde finales del siglo XVIII, la filología sospecha que detrás de ese nombre no hay un hombre, sino un oficio, el de los aedos que improvisaban con fórmulas prefabricadas ante un público que no sabía leer. Homero, más que un autor, fue una técnica narrativa. La Odisea que conocemos cristalizó por escrito a finales del siglo VIII a.C. en la Jonia, justo cuando Grecia salía de 400 años de penumbra y acababa de tomar prestado el alfabeto fenicio. Sus 24 cantos y 12.110 versos narran los últimos 41 días de un regreso de 10 años, y no empiezan por el principio. Ulises lleva siete años retenido por Calipso mientras los pretendientes de Penélope, su esposa, devoran su hacienda en Ítaca. Ella, entretanto y para ganar tiempo, teje de día el sudario que desteje de noche. Los cuatro primeros cantos siguen a Telémaco, los centrales recogen las aventuras del héroe narra ante, y la segunda mitad transcurre ya en tierra contando su regreso a Ítaca. El epíteto que mejor cuadra a Ulises no es el de astuto, sino el de sufrido, el que resiste a pesar de que todo lo tiene en contra. El heroísmo en Aquiles es morir joven y hermoso, a cambio de la gloria eterna, en Ulises es la resistencia. La metis (astucia) se sobrepone a la bía (la fuerza bruta), pero eso se cobra su precio. El armazón moral de la Odisea es la xenia, la hospitalidad sagrada que unos cumplen y otros violan. La matanza de los pretendientes del canto 22 no es una venganza, es la restitución de un orden roto, quizá por eso Homero lo remata con una amnistía. Los dioses intervienen en el curso de los acontecimientos, empujan a los hombres y les condicionan, pero no les eximen de la responsabilidad. De la Odisea ha bebido toda la literatura occidental desde la antigua Grecia. Virgilio, Ovidio, el Ulises que Dante lanzó más allá de las columnas de Hércules y ya no regresa, Kavafis, Primo Levi recitándolo en Auschwitz y el Leopold Bloom de Joyce, que comprime diez años en un día de Dublín, todos se nutren del relato homérico. La Odisea inventó la épica y también la novela. No promete que el viaje tenga sentido, solo que un hombre, si se lo propone, puede aguantar.

In dieser Folge beleuchten wir eines der bewegendsten und wichtigsten Kapitel der Zeitgeschichte: Das Schicksal von Wilhelm Brasse, dem Fotografen von Auschwitz. Als polnischer Soldat und gelernter Porträtfotograf weigerte er sich nach dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen, ein Dokument zu unterschreiben, das ihn zum Deutschen gemacht hätte, und wurde als Häftling mit der Nummer 3444 in das Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau verschleppt. Seine Deutschkenntnisse und sein fotografisches Talent retteten ihm dort das Leben: Er wurde gezwungen, für den Lagererkennungsdienst in Block 26 zu arbeiten. In jeweils nur drei Minuten pro Person fertigte er mehr als 50.000 Häftlingsfotos an und hielt dabei die nackte Angst, das Leid und die Würde der zum Tode Verurteilten fest – darunter das unvergessliche Gesicht der 14-jährigen Czeslawa Kwoka. Brasse wurde unfreiwillig zum Zeugen des unvorstellbaren sadistischen Systems und musste sogar die grausamen Menschenexperimente von SS-Lagerarzt Josef Mengele fotografisch dokumentieren. Doch kurz vor der Befreiung durch die Rote Armee wagte er den stillen, lebensgefährlichen Protest: Er widersetzte sich dem SS-Befehl, alle Aufnahmen zu vernichten, löschte die brennenden Negative und rettete rund 38.000 Bilder für die Nachwelt. Erfahre in dieser Episode, wie diese Dokumente den Opfern des Holocaust bis heute ein Gesicht geben und warum Wilhelm Brasse nach dem Krieg aus tiefem traumatischem Schmerz nie wieder durch einen Kamerasucher blicken konnte. Ein tief berührendes Porträt über den schmalen Grat des Überlebens im Zentrum des Grauens und die bleibende Verpflichtung des Erinnerns.
The Forger of Paris (Doppelhouse Press, 2025) presents Adolfo Kaminsky's biography in its only authorized edition, expanded with photographs from Kaminsky's 2019 exhibition at the Museum of Jewish Art and History in Paris and accompanied by essays from MAHJ director Paul Salmona and National Jewish Book Award winner Deborah Dash Moore. "This necessary book provides unforgettable insights into hidden worlds of the Jews, intellectuals, and partisans who fought back.... has a thriller dimension that outshines even the best undercover fiction." — Jewish Book Council At seventeen, Adolfo Kaminsky had narrowly escaped deportation to Auschwitz and was recruited to join the Jewish underground. Due to his expert knowledge of dyes and an artistic, technical ability to reproduce official documents, he soon became the primary forger for the Resistance in Paris, creating papers that would save an estimated 14,000 Jewish men, women, and children from certain death. Upon the Liberation and for the next twenty-five years, Kaminsky worked as a professional photographer. But, recognizing the fight for freedom had not ended with the defeat of the Nazis, and driven by his own harrowing experiences, he continued to forge documents in secret for activists, refugees, human rights causes, and pacifists throughout the world. "At a moment when someone's passport, or religion, can still mean the difference between life and death, Mr. Kaminsky's story remains painfully relevant, but inspiring." — Filmmakers Samantha Stark, Alexandra Garcia and Pamela Druckerman for The New York Times "A triumphant wartime biography, full of heroism and near-alchemistic craftiness." — Foreword Review Learn more about your ad choices.

Vielleicht haben wir manche Bilder und Eindrücke in den vergangenen Jahren in unserem Inneren gespeichert, wo Menschen übel zugerichtet wurden. Ausgenutzt, versklavt, verfolgt und manchmal sogar hingerichtet. Da kommen uns Bilder von Auschwitz, Birkenau oder anderen Konzentrationslagern in unser Blickfeld.

Join our WhatsApp group for weekly exclusive content: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FEgoaCOQoyU2VX49SwA8Aw?s=cl&p=a&ilr=4 George Mandel-Mantello was one man on his own, a Jew living in Switzerland, who ignited an international outcry against the destruction of Hungary's Jewish community and stopped the deportation of the last 250,000 Jews. Mantello's weapon was not a gun or an army — it was information. With extraordinary courage and ingenuity, he forged papers, sent a courier into Hungary to gather first-hand reports about Auschwitz and forced the allies to react. But for decades afterwards, the actions of this saviour were deliberately minimised and censored. Meanwhile in nearby Germany, the brother of the highest ranking member of the SS, was helping Jews escape the Nazi inferno. His courage also went unheralded for many years.

Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Many of the things that you describe in Israel apply in spades in the United States. We also have an administration that says we're being invaded militarily by Venezuela gangs, so we have to go kidnap their president and annex Venezuela. We've stated that Iran is an existential threat to the United States because at some future time, it's conceivable they may get one nuclear weapon. We have 5,000, Israel probably has 300 or 400. Or make the argument that we are being invaded by defenseless immigrants across the southern border. And it does seem to me that all countries—I don't think it's unique anyway to the United States or Israel, but it's generally true those in power are there to manufacture fear, to inflate fleas into elephants and say “My gosh, tomorrow the sky is falling down. We need to have national emergencies, rule by decree.” Everything is “an imminent danger”, the Communist domino theory. It's a very challenging issue. I say what you've described in Israel is not unique to Israel. We confront it every day right in the United States. And it works.Bruce FeinOmer Bartov is the Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. A historian, Professor Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv, and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become a leading scholar of the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country. His early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide and interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. His current interest is reflected in his recent books, Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and the forthcoming The Broken Promise: A Personal Political History of Israel and Palestine. The whole idea of creating a Jewish state (and it says so in the Proclamation of the State from May 1948) is that it would be a state for Jews—that it would be both Jewish and democratic. And that has proven to be not possible. A Jewish state can be both Jewish and democratic only if the overwhelming majority (if not all) of its citizens are Jews.Omer Bartov[Zionist zealots] believe that history is on their side—so in that sense, they are similar to Communists they're similar to Fascists they're similar to Nazis in that they believe that they can see the way forward, they know the logic of history, and the logic of history as they see it is on their side.Omer BartovIn Israel, since the 1980s (really since after the War of 1973, with the rise of the right wing in Israel in particular) the Holocaust has come to serve a particular purpose. Instead of being commemorated as an event that happened in the past that we should remember and commemorate and research, it's become a kind of image of an imminent danger to Israel. And the farther Israel has moved from the actual event of the Holocaust, and the more the Israeli army has become the military hegemon in its region, the more this alleged threat of an “Auschwitz around the corner” has been used by Israeli governments. Why has it been used? Because Israel actually needs to explain to itself and to its citizens: Why is it bossing it over millions of Palestinians? Half of the population under Israeli control are Palestinians. Two million are citizens, but they don't have equal rights, and the others have no rights at all (they're simply under arbitrary military rule). So how do you explain that? You explain that by telling your population and the rest of the world that those Palestinians—who have no power, who can never pose a threat to you—are an existential threat. And in Israel, that has worked quite well.Omer BartovBecause of the focus on Hebrew—to create Hebrew as a mother tongue for children whose mothers didn't speak Hebrew—because of that, there was a great antagonism towards speaking any other language. And the notion of having bilingual schools (that is, of having schools in Palestine where people would learn both Hebrew and Arabic, the language of the place) is not entertained by the vast majority of educators. Now, if you think about what would have been the result of having bilingual schools already in the 1920s and 30s, that children could speak each other's language and recognize each other's culture—that could have had a huge effect on how Zionism developed and how the state would have developed. But in today's Israel, the only bilingual population are the Palestinians. Palestinian citizens of Israel speak Arabic and Hebrew. Most Israelis don't speak Arabic. And most Israelis who trace themselves (quite large numbers) not to Europe, but to North Africa and the Middle East, where their parents and grandparents spoke Arabic (this was their language) have forgotten that language and were ashamed of their parents speaking it because it associated them with the Arabs. So the loss in this kind of creation of a nation around one language was the ability to imagine yourself as sharing the space with another group.Omer Bartov * Our top story concerns a progressive insurgent running in a must-win Senate race – and not the one you're thinking of. Late last week, Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Times notes that this is AOC's first Senate endorsement of this cycle, coming just about a month ahead of the August 4th Michigan primary. El-Sayed is quoted saying that he is “honored for what her support says about what this campaign is building and what we're fighting for,” adding that he thinks that “too many establishment Democrats are…afraid that I will win.” He pointedly attacked Senator Chuck Schumer, charging that the Minority Leader “doesn't want to see me on the inside of the U.S. Senate,” because El-Sayed would “call out the kind of politics where we take money from corporations and AIPAC to run milquetoast campaigns and don't say anything about the problems that everyday people are facing.” El-Sayed has announced that he will campaign with AOC and Senator Bernie Sanders in Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids on July 18th and 19th, per MLive.* Another earthquake occurred in the Michigan Senate race on July 5th, when State Senator Mallory McMorrow announced that she would be withdrawing from the race – turning what was a competitive three-way race into a head-to-head between El-Sayed and the Democratic establishment pick, Congresswoman Haley Stevens. The Detroit Free Press notes that this announcement “comes after absentee ballots have already been mailed out to some voters and too late to remove her name from the primary ballot,” though voters are able to rescind their absentee votes and submit new ones up through Friday, July 24th. In a video statement, McMorrow maintained that “People are crying out for change and we need to listen.” McMorrow once led her opponents in this race but saw her support collapse and was trailing in a distant third place in recent polls. Rumor also had it that outgoing Senator Gary Peters was privately calling for her to exit the race so centrists could consolidate around Stevens. While many of her supporters are expected to go to Stevens, El-Sayed is energetically courting McMorrow's voters as well. The Detroit News reports McMorrow herself has announced that she will remain neutral in the remaining days of the primary, leaving her voters to vote their own consciences.* In more Michigan news, DSA-backed congressional candidate Donavan McKinney is running strong in his primary campaign against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar, whom McKinney has labeled “Detroit's own Elon Musk,” according to the New York Post. If McKinney pulls it off, he will join the growing group of DSA members in the House, along with Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and AOC from New York, Chris Rabb and Melat Kiros from Pennsylvania and Colorado respectively, and Rashida Tlaib from Michigan. Another candidate endorsed by his local DSA chapter, Kyle Blomquist, is running for Congress in Michigan but even if he wins his primary he is not expected to flip the deep red 1st congressional district.* In Missouri, Cori Bush has also won the support of DSA for her comeback congressional run against Wesley Bell, who defeated her in the 2024 primary, Andrew Solender reports. Bush had already won the support of her local DSA chapter, along with many other progressive organizations, and has been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and former Congressman Jamaal Bowman. This week though, she won the support of the national DSA. In a statement, Bush wrote “I am honored to be once again endorsed by the Democratic [Socialists] of America as I campaign to return to Congress and keep building our movement to fight for economic justice, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and a world where everyday people have a real voice in our workplace's neighborhoods and society.” Bush also praised DSA for its “decades of organizing…[mobilizing] thousands of people across the country to demand an economy that works for all of us…[and] take on war profiteers, the for-profit healthcare industry, and the billionaire funded lobbies that subvert our democracy.” There has been little polling of this race, but what there has been appears to show the race in a statistical dead heat. One sign that Bush is being taken seriously is the new $865,000 ad buy taken out by the United Democracy Project, an AIPAC cutout.* Ironically, it would seem that American Jews have a more favorable view of the progressive left than Israel. According to the Forward, a new AP poll found that “44% of American Jews hold a favorable opinion of Zohran Mamdani, compared with 39% who view him unfavorably.” This is in contrast to the 32% of respondents who said they have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu and 59% who said they have a negative view of the Israeli PM. Perhaps more surprisingly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a “staunch supporter of Israel,” garnered only a 41% favorability rating, though far more respondents said they don't know enough about him to have an opinion than said they have a negative view.* Turning back to the Senate, the other major story this week of course is the fall of Graham Platner. Accusations of sexual assault, detailed in a POLITICO article, resulted in a deluge of opprobrium that cascaded upwards culminating in Platner's earliest and highest profile supporter, Senator Bernie Sanders, calling on him to drop out of the Senate race in Maine. In a video message released Wednesday, Platner stated that he would be suspending his campaign effective immediately, later telling staff that he plans to wait until Monday, the final possible day, to formally withdraw from the race, Axios reports. In the same video, Platner categorically denied the accusations calling them “all false,” and maintaining that the “things that have been claimed did not happen.” He implied that the scandal was orchestrated by “those in power“ who would “rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next Senator from Maine.”* Platner's impending, late-stage withdrawal from the race has set off a chaotic blitz primary to replace him as the Democratic nominee. Numerous candidates have announced they are running including former Maine Senate president Troy Jackson, former Director of Maine's Center for Disease, Control and Prevention Nirav Shah, co-founder of Maine beer company Dan Kleban, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and state lawmaker Valli Geiger, along with Jordan Wood and Paige Loud, both of whom ran in the Maine second congressional district Democratic primary. The actual process for selecting a nominee has been the subject of debate – with many progressives arguing for caucuses – but POLITICO reports that by July 27th, “600 delegates must be selected,” including 500 from the state's 16 county parties, and these delegates will decide on a candidate to replace Platner via “an unprecedented nominating convention,” wherein all delegates come in unpledged to any candidate setting the stage for “what could be a raucous and unpredictable free-for-all.” It remains to be seen how this will all shake out, but it is notable that almost all of these candidates poll very strongly against Senator Susan Collins, with many polling higher than Platner ever did, while the Democratic Party's handpicked primary candidate, sitting Governor Janet Mills, still polls lower than Platner even since the scandal broke.* For our final Senate story, we turn to the senior Senator from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell. McConnell was recently found unconscious in his Washington, DC home and has been hospitalized since, and while Republican Senators and media figures like Scott Jennings claim to have spoken with him directly, his being sequestered away from the public has fueled rampant speculation about the severity of his condition and why it is being kept so secretive. Forbes reports that some figures on the right, including Steve Bannon, are “suggesting the Republican establishment is shielding the state of McConnell's health from the public to allow him to remain in office long enough to avoid [Kentucky Congressman Thomas] Massie running for his seat.” Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told TMZ, “Thomas Massie would make a great senator.” The Hill reports that Andy Beshear, the Democratic Governor of Kentucky, sent a letter to McConnell's Senate office strongly requesting an update on the Senator's health, noting that “Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell,” and that “Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source.”* In more positive news, AP reports former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan, who helped an immigrant escape ICE by ushering him through her jury room door was spared prison time in her sentencing this week. After the incident in her court room, Dugan was convicted of felony obstruction in what was widely seen as a political trial designed to exact retribution on behalf of the Trump administration. Dugan resigned her circuit judgeship under this assault; in her resignation letter, she warned that this prosecution threatened “the independence of our judiciary.” Dugan was fined $5,000.* Finally, in spiritual news, a story in the National Catholic Reporter recounts how Pope Leo XIV excommunicated thousands of clergy and followers of the far right, schismatic group, the Society of St. Pius X. While bishops and priests are judged prima facie schismatic for their consecration in the Society, lay followers of the sect will be judged schismatic if they consciously choose “adherence to the society over obedience to the pope,” and “exclusive participation in Lefebvrian ‘ecclesial' acts, without taking part in the acts of the Catholic Church,” a reference to the group's founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The proximate cause of this excommunication was the Society creating four new bishops in open defiance of Pope Leo, essentially daring the Church to act. This piece notes that the Society “has long been a thorn in the side of Rome,” and notes that the new papal decree rolls back privileges granted to the sect under Pope Francis, including administering the sacrament of penance and solemnizing marriages.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Er ist der umstrittenste Komponist überhaupt – Richard Wagner, glühend verehrt und heftig verabscheut. Und er hat eine braune Weste, obwohl die Nazis erst 50 Jahre nach seinem Tod an die Macht kamen: Hitlers Lieblingskomponist war er, und der »Führer« förderte die Bayreuther Festspiele kräftig. Die feiern in diesem Sommer ihren 150. Geburtstag mit Prominenz und Fans – und in der neuen Sachbuchfolge von »Was liest du gerade?« diskutieren Maja Beckers und Alexander Cammann das kritische Buch des Musikwissenschaftlers Anno Mungen über den Wagner-Kult in Deutschland 1933 bis 1945. Wie hat das NS-Regime Wagners Opern genutzt – und kann man ihn heute mit diesem Wissen noch unbefangen hören? Sommerzeit ist Reisezeit: Die Schriftstellerin Felicitas Hoppe ist die große Reisende unter den heutigen Erzählern. In dem schmalen Band »Reisen« erklärt sie, wie sie seit Jahrzehnten in der Welt unterwegs ist, obwohl sie eigentlich immer eine Stubenhockerin war. Wir erfahren, wie sie die Welt auf einem Containerschiff umrundet hat und warum die Erfahrungen beim Reisen wichtiger sind als das, was man dabei lernt. Ein Buch für unterwegs, mit dem man aber auch perfekt zu Hause bleiben kann. Dort befindet sich wahrscheinlich auch der perfekte Ort zum Lesen oder Podcasthören, um den diesmal unser Klassiker kreist: die Couchecke. Über dieses besondere Interiorstück, seine Entstehung und gesellschaftliche Bedeutung hat der Kunsthistoriker Martin Warnke 1979 einen klugen und amüsanten Essay geschrieben. Maja Beckers und Alexander Cammann fragen sich, ob man heute immer noch eine Couchecke in seinem Wohnzimmer haben muss. Als Geheimtipp haben sie diesmal ein Buch über Palmen und die deutsche Künstlerkolonie Olevano bei Rom mitgebracht. Kommen Sie gut durch den Sommer – natürlich mit guten Sachbüchern!

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we review The Life Ahead, the 2020 Netflix drama directed by Edoardo Ponti and starring Sophia Loren as Madame Rosa.It is a film about grief, trauma, community, memory, faith, chosen family, and a young boy called Momo who is running out of safe places until he collides with an elderly woman who understands pain better than most.What we coveredMonday-recording energy after England's glorious World Cup defeat of Mexico at the Azteca.Recent watches including The Armstrong Lie, Marco Pierre White, Cape Fear, Shot Caller, The Boys, and some explosive dynamite nominations.Sophia Loren's return in a film directed by her son, Edoardo Ponti.Madame Rosa: Holocaust survivor, former sex worker, carer for the children of other sex workers, and a woman still carrying deep fear of doctors and institutions.Momo's introduction: stealing Rosa's candlesticks in the market, trying to stash them badly, and giving possibly the least heartfelt apology ever.Dr Cohen's attempt to place Momo with Rosa, and the negotiation that moves from “absolutely not” to a deal once the money improves.Rosa's household: Babu, Yosef, Lola, and the mix of Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, immigrant, queer and street-level lives around her.Lola as a transgender sex worker, parent and former boxer, and the dads' discussion of how the film includes a lot of identity and community threads.Momo being given a job by Mr Hamil, who helps connect him to his Muslim and Senegalese heritage.Momo's parallel life as a young hash dealer, including his quick success, his maths brain, and the fishmonger/drug dealer who tells him never to mess him about.The recurring lioness imagery and how it connects to Momo's mother, protection, Senegal, faith and abandonment.Madame Rosa's decline: the rain episode, the staring spells, dementia-like symptoms, and Momo covering for her to preserve her dignity.Rosa's hidden basement room, her Auschwitz tattoo, her Jewish memories, and the place she has built to feel safe.The promise Rosa extracts from Momo: do not let them take me to hospital.Momo's guilt when Rosa is hospitalised while he has been out drinking and dealing.The hospital “jailbreak” and the return to the basement, where Momo tries to keep his promise.The fake mimosa plant Momo makes for Rosa, and why that gesture becomes one of the film's most moving moments.The ending: Rosa's death, the funeral, and Momo walking away with Lola and Mr Hamil as a fragile new family unit.Sophia Loren's screen presence at 86: still fiery, still commanding, and especially powerful in the largely silent final section.Ibrahima Gueye's debut as Momo, which the dads thought was hugely impressive.The criticism that the film is sometimes too broad, too sweet, and a bit treacly — touching on many serious subjects without fully developing all of them.Why the drug storyline, in particular, feels like it could have gone somewhere darker but is resolved quite softly.The film's Puglia setting, warm colours, Italian street life, and very direct community feeling.Key quotes / momentsSidey notes that this is probably his first proper Sophia Loren film.Reegs calls the film “a bit treacly, a bit saccharine,” and argues that it throws too much in without examining enough of it in depth.Cris argues that the breadth is part of the Italian community texture: different faiths, identities, politics, histories and people all trying to get by.Dan responds strongly to the setting, the culture, and the idea of people with difficult lives still trying to do something decent for a child.The fake mimosa plant stands out as the small gesture that shows Momo has changed.VerdictA strong recommend. The dads acknowledge that The Life Ahead is well-intentioned and sometimes too broad or sentimental, but the performances, warmth, setting and emotional generosity carry it. Sophia Loren is excellent, Ibrahima Gueye is terrific, and the film's simple message — damaged people can still look after each other — lands.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Clifford Lester is a retired professor of photography at Cypress College and a student of the Jewish experience. Inspired by his mother, Ursula Lowenbach Foster, a Holocaust survivor, Clifford has followed in her footsteps of embracing life. To honor her brother, Ernst, who was killed in Auschwitz, Ursula showed everyone around her that life was something to be grateful for, something to celebrate.Today, twenty years after her passing, Clifford finds himself much closer to his Jewish roots, and much more appreciative of his life. Grateful for his family, his friends, and the opportunity to share photographic adventures with students, it is through the artistic avenues of the photographic lens that Clifford shares his perspective on life. Even in his teen years, Clifford began to notice the beauty in things through the viewfinder of his camera that other people would just walk by. He knew he had to bring this beauty and light into the lives of others.At the present time, after a career of 27 years as a studio advertising photographer, and 18 years of teaching at Cypress College, Clifford is enjoying his retirement by committing to perhaps his most meaningful project, remembering Holocaust Survivors. Clifford says that the goal of these images is to “capture the Faith and courage of those who survived, and to honor the memory of those loved ones lost, so the memory and lessons of the Holocaust will never be forgotten.”This incredible group, the survivors of the Holocaust, have left a legacy for the generations that follow–a legacy of loving, caring for others, and giving purpose to their lives. Many are people of Faith, guided by an intense love of Torah and G-d, all are moved to celebrate their given days.We pray that through these images and the lives they have lived, their spirit will forever carry on and Bless those who follow.If you know any Holocaust survivors who would like to be photographed please reach out to Clifford Lester.www.cliffordlester.comwww.cypresscollege.edu/holocaust-education-initiative/survivors-gallery/www.instagram.com/clifford1717/
The Nazi Holocaust of the Jews stands as one of the most horrifying events in human history, a time when Satanic hatred was organized, mechanized and carried out through a political system that marked, isolated, transported and murdered the Jewish people by the millions. The world looked upon the smoke of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Dachau and the other killing centers and said “never again,” but the Bible says something very different. The Bible says, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be,” and the same hatred that rose up under Pharaoh, Haman, Herod and Hitler will rise again under Antichrist. The Holocaust was not the end of antisemitic persecution; it was a warning shot of what fallen man and Satanic government are capable of doing when God removes restraint. And it's fixing to come again.“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, if the Holocaust was one of the darkest valleys of human history, then the coming great Tribulation will be the darkest valley of all time. Hitler's Reich targeted the Jews in Europe; Antichrist's Beast system will target the Jews on a global scale. Hitler used trains, camps, numbers, propaganda and death decrees; Antichrist will use worship, technology, economics, global government and the mark of the Beast. This is why the Bible calls that coming period “the time of Jacob's trouble.” It is not called the time of the Church's trouble, because the Church is not Jacob. Jacob is Israel. Jeremiah says, “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB). That verse matches perfectly with the words of Jesus in Matthew 24. The Jewish people will once again become the target of the Devil's final rage, and the nations of the world will once again turn against Israel. The Holocaust showed us what one demonized empire could do to the Jews; the time of Jacob's trouble will show what a demonized world under Antichrist will do when Satan knows his time is short. The same spirit that built the death camps is the same spirit that here in 2026 chants for Israel's destruction, funds terror, fires missiles and prepares the nations for the final satanic campaign against the Jews. The uniforms change, the slogans change, the technology changes, but the hatred remains the same. There is no new thing under the sun. The difference is that the Holocaust ended with the defeat of Nazi Germany, but the great Tribulation ends with the visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ at the Second Advent. Hitler was stopped by armies; Antichrist will be destroyed by the Lord Himself. The Holocaust left survivors to testify; the time of Jacob's trouble will leave a purified remnant of Israel who will look upon Him whom they have pierced and finally receive their Messiah. That is why Christians should care about the Holocaust, and that is why Christians should pay attention to the war with Iran. The headlines are moving in the same direction prophecy has always pointed: Israel surrounded, the nations raging, false peace rising, and Jacob's trouble waiting just beyond the horizon. Today we look at the Nazi Holocaust to see the Spirit of Prophecy carrying us headlong into the headlines!
Eva Mozes Kor was a Jewish girl, born in Romania to Alexander and Jaffa Mozes, the only Jewish residents in the area. She had three siblings, one of whom was her twin sister Miriam. Her parents and two older sisters were gassed in Auschwitz; she survived because, along with her twin sister, she was the subject of medical experiments that Josef Mengele was performing on twins there. After the camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945, Eva went to live in Poland, Romania and eventually the U.S. She died on July 4, 2019 at the age of 85 in Krakow, Poland accompanying a group on an educational tour of Auschwitz.

A selection from the film, The Gate, was published in the Yad Vashem 2025 coffee table book, Lessons from the Shoah.Please stick around at the end of this episode because Barry has generously lent us his fantastic song, The Beautiful Band, which we'll play for your listening pleasure.
How has World War II shaped your family? What stories, memories, questions, and mysteries have been passed down through the generations? Join host Glenn Flickinger for a special Greatest Generation Live conversation exploring the enduring impact of World War II on veterans and the families who inherited their legacies. We'll hear from Lee Kikel, whose father, Melvin Goldman, survived the Holocaust and was liberated from the Wöbbelin concentration camp in Germany in May 1945. After surviving years of imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, and other camps, Goldman was among thousands rescued in the final days of the war. His gratitude to the American soldiers who liberated Wöbbelin became a defining part of his life and family story. We'll also be joined by Richard Murphy, whose father-in-law, Lawrence McGartland of Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, helped liberate Wöbbelin as a soldier in the 28th Infantry Regiment, 8th Infantry Division. Drafted at age 30, married and the father of two young children, McGartland landed in France after D-Day and fought through four campaigns—Normandy, Northern France, the Rhineland, and Central Europe. Wounded twice during 266 days of combat, he was among the American soldiers who encountered the horrors of Wöbbelin on May 2, 1945. Like many veterans of his generation, McGartland rarely spoke about his wartime experiences. Only years after his death did his children begin to learn what he had endured and accomplished. As they pieced together his military service, they gained new insight into the quiet effects of war that remained throughout his life—from his aversion to loud noises to the flashbacks he experienced in old age. Understanding his service helped his family better understand the man they loved. Lee and Richard's stories intersect at a remarkable moment in history: one family descended from a survivor of Wöbbelin, the other from one of its liberators. Following their presentations, we'll open the conversation to everyone. We invite you to share stories of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives whose lives were shaped by World War II—whether they served overseas, worked on the home front, survived wartime hardships, or carried the war's memories long after the fighting ended. The generation that fought World War II is passing from the scene, but their stories continue to shape families and communities. Join us as we explore how understanding our veterans can help us know—and love—them a little better.
Discover the profound faith of St. Maximilian Kolbe in this episode. Explore his life, his devotion to Mary, and his heroic sacrifice at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
I Ukraina sommaren 1943 plundrar ett SS-kommando på uppdrag av Heinrich Himmler 18 odlingsanläggningar på jakt efter fröer i världens första genbank. Fröerna skulle bli grunden till det tusenåriga rikets superfröer för att föda det onda imperiet.Fröerna hade samlats in av den berömde växtförädlaren Nikolaj Vavilov på expeditioner runt om i världen. Men Vavilov hade dött i Stalins fängelser i början av året, eftersom han inte ville underordna vetenskapen den sovjetiska ideologin.I avsnitt 124 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med journalisten och författaren Jens Nordqvist som är aktuell med boken Den stora fröstölden - Svält, plundring och mord i växtförädlingens århundrade.Den moderna växtförädlingen tog fart i början av 1900-talet med återupptäckten av den österrikiske munken Gregor Mendels teorier kring korsning av växter från 1860-talet. Världens växande befolkning behövde efter mer tåliga och högavkastande spannmål och grönsaker.Tyskland, Sovjetunionen, USA och Sverige var de länder som i början av 1930-talet kommit längs i arbetet med växtförädling. En gemensam nämnare var det statliga stödet, och inblandningen, i växtförädlingen.Nikolaj Vavilov såg den ständigt föränderliga biologiska mångfalden som resultatet av ett samspel mellan människan och naturen. Trots att blomkål, grönkål, brysselkål, vitkål, rödkål och broccoli ser helt olika ut stammar de alla från samma art, vildkål (Brassica oleracea). I människans tjänst har den vilda arten utvecklats till vitt skilda grönsaker. Växtförädlingens historia var full av storartade bedrifter.Nikolaj Vavilov stötte på många hinder i sin kamp mot svälten. Han och de andra växtförädlarna kämpade mot torka och väta, skadedjur och virussjukdomar. I hans väg stod även Lysenkos pseudovetenskap, brutala partibossar och politiska tjallare. Ändå var han en obotlig optimist. Han trodde verkligen att förnuftet till slut skulle segra och han trodde på växtförädlingens förmåga. Naturen var rik nog att föda människan, och den vetenskap han älskade mer än livet gav honom de redskap som behövdes för att resurserna skulle kunna nyttjas.Nazityskland har slängt avundsjuka blickar på Sovjetunionens växtförädlingsprogram. Utan en livsmedelssektor som kunde försörja det tyska riket och dess militärapparat skulle expansionen österut aldrig gå att genomföra.Ledare för SS:s frökommando är den unge växtförädlaren och SS-officeren Heinz Brücher, som med hjälp av de ryska fröerna ska ta fram nya supergrödor. Nazisterna bedriver redan en omfattande växtförädling i flera koncentrationsläger, bland annat Auschwitz.I krigets slutskede gömmer Brücher de värdefulla fröerna för att senare kunna användas. Med hjälp av just frösamlingen vill han köpa sig fri lejd till tryggheten i Sverige.Musik: Po dolinam i po vzgoriam av S. Alimov och T.

„Erinnerungen unter Druck“ – Das Vermächtnis des Holocaust-Überlebenden Elie Wiesel Kaum jemand steht so für das Erinnern an den Holocaust wie Elie Wiesel. Seine Mutter starb in Auschwitz, sein Vater in Buchenwald, er selbst überlebte den nationalsozialistischen Terror als Jugendlicher.
Brad Wolfe has spent much of his life asking what gives life meaning. As the grandson of Auschwitz survivors, he grew up hearing stories of unimaginable suffering, survival, and the kind of love that can still exist after profound trauma. Later, when his close friend Sarah was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer, Brad found himself showing up at her bedside with the one language he knew best: music. Writing songs for Sarah during her illness became both an offering to her and the beginning of a larger question that would shape his life and work: why wait to live with more love, purpose, and compassion?In this conversation, Brad and Heather talk about grief, music, post-traumatic growth, and the ways pain can become something meaningful without ever making the loss itself okay. Brad shares the story of his grandparents, the lessons his grandmother left behind, the friendship that inspired his early work with pediatric cancer families, and the creation of Reimagine, a community built around helping people face death and embrace life. They also explore what it means to keep showing up, how small acts of service can carry someone's memory forward, and why the people we lose can continue shaping how we live. It's a thoughtful conversation about love, legacy, creativity, and choosing not to wait for some later moment to live more fully.Resources & Ways to ConnectReimagine Website: https://letsreimagine.org/Brad Wolfe and the Moon: https://www.bradwolfe.com/Jake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcastFor more of Heather's writing and thoughts: https://ohheather.substack.com/Everything's Jakey (Substack): https://everythingsjakey.substack.com/
Franco Brogi Taviani"Anello, bell'anello"La Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.comLa rivelazione di un segreto irrompe nella vita di Corrado, musicista e pubblicitario in crisi con il proprio lavoro, che deve fare i conti con una serie di verità inattese, una più sconvolgente dell'altra. Corrado ne è sia attratto che respinto: i frammenti di passato che vengono alla luce rappresentano per lui una promessa ma anche una minaccia. Ogni rivelazione lo conduce sulle tracce di un padre che non ha mai conosciuto, sopravvissuto ad Auschwitz: un uomo che ha scelto il silenzio, che non vuole raccontare, che non vuole riconciliarsi con la vita, con la storia, con il dolore. Anello, bell'anello intreccia mistero e memoria, sentimenti privati e vicende collettive, in un percorso di scoperte progressive e lancinanti. Una narrazione intensa che indaga la fragilità dei legami e la potenza dei segreti, restituendo al lettore il ritmo di un enigma che si svela pagina dopo pagina.Franco Taviani, scrittore, regista.

What if the grind isn't the path to freedom — it's the thing keeping you from it? In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross, LMFT (#116623) sits down with Dr. Tim White — psychology professor, researcher, and self-proclaimed workaholic — to explore what it actually means to rest in a culture that has forgotten how. Drawing on the theology of the 8th day of creation, Joseph Pieper's Leisure: The Basis of Culture, and the latest research in psychology and blue zone longevity, Adam and Tim make the case that leisure isn't a reward you earn through hard work. It's the foundation everything else is built on — including worship. Topics covered: • Why "work will set you free" is a lie from Auschwitz to Silicon Valley • The Genesis story and what was lost — and restored — through Christ • What real rest looks like (hint: it's not Netflix or a beach vacation) • Flow states, play, and why winners in sports look completely incoherent • Mindfulness with God as a secure attachment figure • "The opposite of sin is not virtue but praise" — and what that means practically • Blue zones, enjoyment, and why leisure-centred living actually helps you live longer • Practical steps for stepping out of the productivity trap and into Sabbath rest If you've been burning the candle at both ends and wondering why you still feel empty, this conversation is for you.

Today's poem is What The Suitcase Bearing my Family Name Might Have Contained When it Arrived at Auschwitz by Ava Nathaniel Winter. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… "It is a privilege to have lived in the same part of the same country, safely, for generations. It is a privilege to have a basement, an attic, or a garage filled with boxes: books, family photos, children's artwork from years of school. They are just things, yes. And they are not just things at all. I try to remember this privilege when complaining about clutter."This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

Eighty years after the end of World War II and liberation of the last remaining Nazi concentration camps, correspondent Lesley Stahl reports on the miraculous story of three pregnant women, and their babies, who survived notorious slave labor and concentration camps, including Auschwitz. Stahl meets the three “babies,” now in their 80s, who were born after their mothers concealed their pregnancies from their Nazi captors and gave birth under the most horrific conditions imaginable. The story of their survival, and how they found each other 65 years later, involves seemingly impossible twists of fate, luck, and unfathomable suffering. Stahl also tells the tale of the American medic who was part of the liberation of the camps and discovered, and ultimately helped save, one of the babies. This is a double-length segment. Shari Finkelstein is the producer. The coastal waters around Cape Town, South Africa had long been a global destination for seeing great white sharks. That was until about ten years ago, when these feared predators began washing up on beaches with their livers missing. Correspondent Anderson Cooper goes to South Africa to investigate a whodunnit that's fueled a bitter feud among scientists and conservationists who can't agree on who, or what, is the real culprit. Michael Gavshon is the producer.
McKay explores the "because I choose to" mindset - the principle that circumstances don't dictate our reality or outcomes. Throughout the episode he demonstrates that, while life often burdens us with the heavy weight of "I have to," freedom and success emerge when we recognize our inherent agency to choose our response.In addition to highlighting Ashleigh Barty's intentional return to tennis and contrasting it with her earlier burnout, our host goes on to share such stories as Desmond Doss's battlefield convictions and Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku's choice to be "The Happiest Man on Earth." From Arunima Sinha's Everest climb to McKay's lesson at a prison gate, this episode shows how embracing reality changes destiny, urging us to use choice to build an extraordinary life.Main Themes:Why the "I choose to" mindset and intentionality outpace obligation and pressureAshleigh Barty's choice to walk away from and intentionally return to professional tennisLearning to find the positive in a backward-loaded route through the delivery truck lessonHow Desmond Doss held onto his convictions at Hacksaw Ridge despite hostile circumstancesWhy resisting reality consumes energy without producing results and the value of embracing it insteadEddie Jaku's survival of Auschwitz and his decision to become "The Happiest Man on Earth"Kerry Egan's hospice observations on finding meaning at the end of life through acceptanceHow Arunima Sinha scaled Mount Everest and redefined her identity after a tragic train incidentBuilding identity through small and repeated choices that turn into habits and characterDiscovering the ultimate freedom by recognizing our agency and participation in any circumstanceTop 10 Quotes:"Most of us do have a choice. And when we remember that we can choose and do choose, our approach is different. It's more healthy.""The human mind has the ability to assign meaning to experience, and that meaning directly influences our behavior and long-term outcomes.""The circumstance itself doesn't determine the meaning, but the response does.""Suffering is not only caused by what happens, but also by what we do with it.""Happiness does not fall from the sky. It's in your hands. It comes from a choice inside you.""Small choices accumulate into identity through repetition.""The shift from 'I have to' to 'I choose to' is therefore not semantic. It's internal strength.""To live from this perspective is to recognize that while circumstances may be given, our level of participation is chosen."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Join us for a remarkable story of survival, courage, chance, and resilience as Doug Cervi shares the life of Holocaust survivor David Wisnia (1926–2021), whose experiences spanned some of the darkest and most consequential events of the twentieth century. Born into a Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland, David was a gifted singer whose voice would help save his life after he was deported to Auschwitz at age sixteen. There, amid unimaginable brutality, he survived by performing for Nazi guards and fellow prisoners. He endured the horrors of Auschwitz, a death march across Europe, and a daring escape before being liberated by soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division. Remarkably, the teenager who emerged from the camps went on to serve as an interpreter with the American Army as it advanced into Germany. Years later, David built a new life in the United States, becoming a cantor, educator, and tireless witness to history. His story gained international attention through the memoir One Voice, Two Lives, which recounts both his wartime experiences and a long-hidden chapter of love and survival in Auschwitz. Doug Cervi, who worked closely with David on preserving and sharing his story, returns to the Veterans Breakfast Club to recount David's extraordinary journey and reflect on the responsibility of keeping eyewitness history alive after the witnesses themselves are gone. This program offers a powerful firsthand window into the Holocaust, liberation, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Nous sommes en 1880, dans la salle d'étude du domicile familial des Cahen d'Anvers, situé au 66, avenue Montaigne, à Paris. C'est ici que la petite Irène s'apprête à vivre un moment historique. Âgée de seulement huit ans, elle pose pour le célèbre Auguste Renoir dans une ravissante robe bleu clair ornée de rubans et de dentelles. Si ce portrait est aujourd'hui mondialement connu sous le nom de « La Petite Fille au ruban bleu », sa renommée n'a pas été spontanée. Au moment de sa création, le père d'Irène, Louis Cahen d'Anvers, déteste cette œuvre impressionniste qu'il qualifie d'horreur et, d'ailleurs, il la relègue dans un placard. La Deuxième Guerre mondiale va en faire le symbole de l'effondrement d'une élite cosmopolite. En juillet 1941, le portrait d'Irène Cahen d'Anvers est envoyé au château de Chambord pour y être protégé, mais il est finalement spolié par les autorités allemandes. Cet acte de pillage marque le début de la fin pour les descendants d'Irène qui se croyaient protégés par leur nom et leur passé au service de la France. Irène voit sa fille Béatrice et ses petits-enfants, Fanny et Bertrand Reinach, être internés au camp de Drancy. Léon Reinach, son gendre, lui aussi emprisonné, tentera bien de réclamer ses biens spoliés, mais il se heurtera au refus catégorique de l'administration de Vichy. Le cauchemar familial se poursuit par la déportation de la quasi-totalité de la lignée vers le camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz. Irène, elle, survivra à l'Occupation grâce à un certificat de non-appartenance à la race juive qu'elle s'est fait délivrer avec une audace qui aurait pu lui coûter la vie. En 1946, « La petite fille au ruban bleu » est retrouvé par les « Monuments Men », dans un château en Allemagne. Il est restitué à Irène Cahen d'Anvers qui, contre toute attente, décide de le vendre à un riche industriel lié au régime nazi. Voici l'histoire d'un monde disparu, celui d'une famille foudroyée par l'Histoire… Avec Natalie David-Weill, journaliste et écrivaine. « La petite fille au ruban bleu » ; éd.

Join Luis and Ric as they revisit the movie that helped launch the modern superhero era: X-Men (2000). More than twenty-five years after its release, does the film still hold up? The guys discuss their favorite scenes, standout performances, memorable moments, and the casting choices that helped define Marvel movies for an entire generation. Beyond the action and special effects, they also explore the deeper themes that have made X-Men endure for decades. From Magneto's origins in Auschwitz during the Holocaust to the ongoing struggles of mutants seeking acceptance in a fearful world, the film presents powerful ideas about prejudice, discrimination, identity, and belonging. The conversation also examines why many viewers have connected the mutant experience to the real-world experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and other minority communities who have faced exclusion, misunderstanding, or discrimination. The guys discuss how these themes continue to resonate with audiences today and why the X-Men story remains one of Marvel's most meaningful allegories. Whether you're a longtime Marvel fan or experiencing these films for the first time, grab your black leather uniform and join us as we take a fresh look at the movie that started it all for Marvel's merry mutants.
