At just 13-years-old, following the Nazi invasion of Poland, Josef Lefkowitz and his father were separated from their family and herded to the Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp. Josef survived the Holocaust, and some of the most notorious concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Ebensee. With his freedom, Josef returned home to find that he was the only one left alive in an extended family of 150. Compelled by the need to do something to avenge that loss, he joined the Jewish police while still in a displaced persons' camp, and was recruited as an intelligence officer for the US Army who gave him a team to search for Nazis in hiding.Whilst rounding up SS leaders, he played a critical role in identifying and bringing to justice his greatest tormentor, the Butcher of Plaszow, Amon Göth. He then committed his life to helping the orphaned children of the Holocaust rebuild their lives.In this harrowing podcast, Josef speaks to Al Murray and James Holland about his extraordinary life.

Welcome to Breakpoint, a daily look at an ever-changing culture through the lens of unchanging truth. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stonestreet.  It's been almost two years since the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving a void of power quickly filled by the Taliban. In that time, Taliban rulers have outlawed women's education, religious freedom, and even music. That's why a concert violinist named Ali left his instrument behind when he fled Afghanistan in 2021. He knew the Taliban would confiscate and destroy any instruments they found, along with music shops and schools.   After Ali arrived in the United States, a stranger heard his story and decided to donate his violin to the displaced musician. Through a series of connections, the violin made its way from New York to L.A., courtesy of a podcaster who shared the saga in a now-viral Twitter thread. Initially, Latif Nasser struggled to track down Ali in California. His texts and calls went unanswered. Eventually, when the two met, Nasser discovered Ali had been unresponsive due to an unpredictable work schedule at the mall. Most of the money Ali made was sent to support his family in Kabul.   Nasser also learned that Ali had been a famous violinist in Afghanistan. He performed in a TV orchestra and even toured in the West. In fact, he'd once played at Carnegie Hall.  Nasser not only gave Ali the violin, but he also set up an online fundraiser to help Ali restart lessons or attend music school. The fundraiser was so successful that Ali eventually shut it down, not wanting to take more money than he needed.  This remarkable story is not only about the kindness of strangers: It also points to something deeper about what it means to be human. God created us to create, like He does. Made in His image, as the first few chapters of Genesis make plain, humans were created for the purpose of cultivating the rest of creation for the glory of God (Genesis 1:26-28). God's Word makes clear that, in Christ, He intends not just to save souls but to restore His creation. Just as the garden was full of beauty, when Christ's Kingdom is finally “on earth as it is in heaven,” its beauty will be perfect. Though our attempts to cultivate the earth are tainted, frustrated, and even painful, our calling to care for His creation remains. Beauty remains even when perfection is impossible. Beauty pleases God and brings Him glory, just as beauty pleases us.  In his book Man's Search for Meaning, Holocaust survivor and psychologist Viktor Frankl tells the story of waking up one night in Auschwitz to the unlikely sound of a violin.   To discover that there was any semblance of art in a concentration camp must be surprise enough for an outsider, but he may be even more astonished to hear that one could find a sense of humor there as well.  According to Frankl, beauty and humor offered the prisoners a kind of cognitive distance from their suffering, even if only for a few minutes, suggesting that a deep longing for beauty is central to the human experience. Art and music are not frivolous parts of life. If Frankl's account is true, human beings will hunger for beauty even when they have far more urgent needs—like food, water, and safety—going unmet.   The gratuitously oppressive move by the Taliban to outlaw music is fundamentally different from how the Bible describes the purpose and substance of beauty, especially its power to point us to the one true God andmove us to worship Him. It only makes sense that the Taliban would hate music, just as they hate education, religious freedom, and individual rights. Each of these things flows from Christianity's fundamental view about God, His world, and human beings.  In fact, the power of beauty to point us to God was a theme of this year's Colson Center National Conference. We hosted an impressive lineup of speakers, many of whom have dedicated their lives to creating beautiful things, from graphic design to good barbecue. If you missed the conference this year, the footage will be available soon to stream online. Just visit colsonconference.org.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Maria Baer.

Judíos en Polonia Cap.3 - El camino alemán hacia el Holocausto

El genocidio sistemático y planificado de seis millones de judíos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, fue un proceso gradual que involucró diferentes etapas y políticas implementadas por el régimen nazi. Aquí tienes un resumen de los eventos clave: Antisemitismo y propaganda: El régimen nazi promovió el odio y el antisemitismo como parte de su ideología. Adolf Hitler y otros líderes nazis difundieron propaganda antisemita, culpando a los judíos de los problemas económicos y sociales de Alemania y retratándolos como una amenaza para la nación alemana. Leyes de Núremberg (1935): Las Leyes de Núremberg privaron a los judíos de su ciudadanía alemana y los excluyeron de la vida pública. Estas leyes definieron quién era considerado judío según criterios raciales y prohibieron los matrimonios y relaciones sexuales entre judíos y no judíos. Boicot económico (1933): Se instó a los ciudadanos alemanes a boicotear los negocios judíos, lo que tuvo un impacto significativo en la economía judía. Programas de eutanasia (1939-1941): Si bien no estuvo directamente relacionado con el Holocausto judío, el régimen nazi implementó programas de eutanasia para asesinar a personas con discapacidades físicas y mentales. Estos programas sentaron un precedente para el uso de la maquinaria estatal para el asesinato en masa. Invasión de Polonia (1939): La Alemania nazi invadió Polonia en septiembre de 1939, marcando el comienzo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Durante la ocupación de Polonia, los nazis establecieron guetos para confinar a la población judía en condiciones inhumanas. Solución final (1941-1945): A medida que la guerra progresaba, los nazis desarrollaron la "Solución final", un plan para exterminar sistemáticamente a todos los judíos europeos. Esto implicó el establecimiento de campos de exterminio, como Auschwitz, Treblinka y Sobibor, equipados con cámaras de gas y crematorios, donde se llevaron a cabo asesinatos en masa. Einsatzgruppen y campos de concentración (1941-1945): Además de los campos de exterminio, los nazis utilizaron unidades móviles llamadas Einsatzgruppen para llevar a cabo ejecuciones en masa de judíos en el este de Europa. También se establecieron campos de concentración donde se sometía a los prisioneros judíos a trabajos forzados, maltrato y condiciones inhumanas. Liberación y testimonios: A medida que las fuerzas aliadas avanzaban en Europa, los campos de concentración y exterminio fueron liberados, y el mundo se enteró de la magnitud del genocidio. Los testimonios de los sobrevivientes y las pruebas documentales recopiladas durante los juicios de Núremberg y otros procesos posteriores proporcionaron evidencia irrefutable del Holocausto. El Holocausto fue un crimen sin precedentes en la historia y tuvo un impacto duradero en la comunidad judía y en todo.

Dennis and Julie do not share the same love for absurdity.  One of the best things you can do to glorify God is to enjoy the life you have.  Thank you, God, for music, art, beauty, and pain.  Angry or unhappy religious people are the best proof for atheism, and the opposite is true… angry or unhappy atheists are the best proof for religion.  Dennis reflects on his visit to the NRB in Orlando FL.  How does one account for unethical religious people?  You can't turn your eyes away from evil… people are not basically good. Is what's happening to the Uighurs in China a modern version of Auschwitz?  Julie recounts meeting Clarence Thomas.  God wants us to be good… but to the secular Left, that is boring.  Dennis learned in yeshiva… “those who add, will come to subtract.”  The Right hates evil… the Left hates the Right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Das Leben des französischen Neurologen und Psychiaters Boris Cyrulnik begann mit einem Trauma: Seine Eltern wurden von den Nazis getötet. Er selbst entkam mit sechs Jahren nur knapp dem Tod. Heute ist der 85-Jährige ein international gefragter Experte, wenn es um Traumata und Resilienz geht. Boris Cyrulnik hat eine bewegende Biografie. Als er fünf Jahre alt ist, werden seine Eltern deportiert und in den Konzentrationslagern von Auschwitz umgebracht. Er selbst kann sich verstecken, entkommt nur knapp dem Tod und wächst als Waisenkind bei Pflegefamilien und in diversen Pflegeheimen auf. Dieses frühe Trauma prägt sein gesamtes Leben und auch seine wissenschaftliche Forschung als Neuropsychiater und Professor in Toulon. Boris Cyrulnik ist heute 85 Jahre alt, seine Bücher sind Bestseller, und er gilt als einer der wichtigsten Experten, wenn es um Resilienz geht, um die Fähigkeit, besonders belastende, traumatische Erfahrungen zu überstehen – und manchmal sogar an ihnen zu wachsen. Yves Bossart spricht mit ihm über seine Biografie, über den Umgang mit Traumata, über das Rätsel der Resilienz und die Wurzeln des Fanatismus.

Amikor rokonaink és ismerőseink megkérdezik, hogy milyen filmeket nézünk idén Cannes-ban, legegyszerűbb mindig az Indiana Jones és a sors tárcsáját említeni, hiszen Indyt mindenki ismeri, szereti és kapcsolódik hozzá pár nosztalgikus élménye. A nosztalgia azonban nem elég, hogy elvigye a hátán az első Spielberg nélküli részt. Az életműdíj Arany Pálmával jutalmazott Harrison Fordot digitálisan fiatalították meg, de mégsem értjük miért volt szüksége rá, hogy elvállalja ezt a fantáziátlan és felesleges folytatást. Akiben még reménykedtünk, hogy megmentheti Indiana Jones legújabb kalandjait, az a Fleabag óta kizárólag hollywoodi blockbustereken gazdagodó Phoebe Waller-Bridge és ő nem is vette félvállról a női főszerepet. Végsősoron azonban az ő karaktere fogalmazza meg a film ars poeticáját: pénz mindenek felett. Másik fontos problémánk a filmmel, ahogy azt a podcastben részletesen kifejtjük, hogy már a nácik sem elég nácik benne. Ezzel kapcsolatos hiányérzetünket azonban gyorsan pótolta Jonathan Glazer (A felszín alatt, Születés) hátborzongató új filmje, a The Zone of Interest. A vizuális bravúrjairól híres egykori videoklip-művész (ő kergette meg Kovács Lajost a Radiohead zenéjére) egyszerű koncepciót valósított meg: nézzük meg közelről egy náci család mindennapjait, akik konkrétan Auschwitz szomszédságában élnek. Pompás kertjükben medencés partyt tartanak, büszkén próbálgatják a haláltáborból összeszedett bundákat és csak néha kell azon bosszankodniuk, hogy hamusak lettek a gyerekek a patakban lubickolástól. Glazer nem sokkol, hanem kíméletlen precizitással bemutatja, hogy a holokauszt nem mindenkinek az a világégés volt, aminek a Schindler listája vagy a Saul fia alapján képzelnénk, hanem igenis volt, akiknek karrier és egzisztenciális lehetőség. Nagyon csodálkoznánk, ha ez az abszurd humorú és kegyetlenül aktuális remekmű nem kapná meg a főbb díjak valamelyikét (az abszurd humorra és kegyetlenségre nagyon is vevő) Ruben Östlund zsűrijétől. Látszólag könnyedebb, de szintén elképesztően hatásos és aktuális film volt a How to Have Sex, amivel kapcsolatban rögtön elkezdtünk ötletelni arról, hogy milyen magyar címmel kellene bemutatni. Három tizenéves brit lány görögországi nyaralásáról szól, ahol a legfőbb céljuk minél többet inni, bulizni és szexelni. Utóbbi persze nem úgy sikerül, ahogy képzelték és az elsőfilmes Molly Manning Walker bámulatos érzékenységgel dolgozza fel a beleegyezés elmosódó határaival kapcsolatos problémakört. Mindezt úgy, hogy soha nem vált át prédikációba vagy kioktatásba és hősnőit lehetetlen nem megszeretni a végére. A nap sztártalálkozása számunkra Cate Blanchett volt, aki a Tár elképesztő diadalútja után egy aprócska ausztrál filmet emelt fel a jelenlétével. A The New Boy ugyan elsikkadt az imént emlegetett két mestermű között, de Blanchettet mindig jó látni és szép tőle, hogy hollywoodi szupersztárként is támogatja a hazája filmgyártását. Filmek, amiket pénteken néztünk: Indiana Jones és a sors tárcsája (James Mangold) How To Have Sex (Molly Manning Walker) The New Boy (Warwick Thornton) The Zone of Interest (Jonathan Glazer) Jó szórakozást hozzá, és ha tetszik az adás, kérlek ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠támogasd a Filmklub podcastot a Patreonon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ahol beállíthatod, hogy havonta hány dollárt szeretnél erre szánni.

As reports of mass killings in Bosnia spread in the middle of 1995, Germans faced a dilemma. Should the Federal Republic deploy its military to the Balkans to prevent a genocide, or would departing from postwar Germany's pacifist tradition open the door to renewed militarism? In short, when Germans said “never again,” did they mean “never again Auschwitz” or “never again war”? Looking beyond solemn statements and well-meant monuments, Andrew I. Port examines how the Nazi past shaped German responses to the genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda—and further, how these foreign atrocities recast Germans' understanding of their own horrific history. In the late 1970s, the reign of the Khmer Rouge received relatively little attention from a firmly antiwar public that was just “discovering” the Holocaust. By the 1990s, the genocide of the Jews was squarely at the center of German identity, a tectonic shift that inspired greater involvement in Bosnia and, to a lesser extent, Rwanda. Germany's increased willingness to use force in defense of others reflected the enthusiastic embrace of human rights by public officials and ordinary citizens. At the same time, conservatives welcomed the opportunity for a more active international role involving military might—to the chagrin of pacifists and progressives at home. Making the lessons, limits, and liabilities of politics driven by memories of a troubled history harrowingly clear, Never Again: Germans and Genocide After the Holocaust (Harvard UP, 2023) is a story with deep resonance for any country confronting a dark past.

Seventy-five years ago this week, the Jewish community of Palestine (known as the yishuv) gathered in the art museum of Tel Aviv—then a city of less than 200,000 inhabitants—in order to perform a resurrection. Thirty-seven people—36 men and one woman—were about to sign Israel's Declaration of Independence, which would reestablish Jewish political sovereignty in the Holy Land for the first time since the destruction of the Second Temple 2,000 years ago. They gathered in that museum just three years after the liberation of Auschwitz, just three years after six million Jews were murdered in Europe, to establish Israel as a place where the Jewish people could at last control their own fate and destiny and safety. More than that, in the land of Israel, there was a sense—not just among religious Jews, but all Jews—that they were finally going home. The Israel of the early days—poor, socialist, secular, where food rationing was the norm— feels so far away. Now, Israel is an economic superpower, a world leader in high tech. And the socialist left that built the country has given way to a political right that dominates the Jewish state. But throughout its 75 years, Israel has always prided itself on being the world's only Jewish democracy. A liberal democracy in a sea of undemocratic regimes. Now, hundreds of thousands of Israelis are worried that that identity—an identity that Israelis pride themselves on and have defended since its existence—is in danger. They've been taking to the streets, night after night for the past five months, with Israeli flags in their hands chanting and demanding one thing: “democratya.” Democracy. One of those people is my guest today, Daniel Gordis: rabbi, academic, American Israeli, and author of eight books, including the just published Impossible Takes Longer: 75 Years After Its Creation, Has Israel Fulfilled Its Founders' Dreams? On today's episode, Danny helps us make sense of this complicated, tumultuous, beautiful, often indecipherable place: What did Israel's founders want for the country? Has their promise been fulfilled? How did the Jewish people manage to become a world economic powerhouse after two in every three European Jews had been slaughtered? And in light of the ongoing political turmoil, what does the future of this small, miraculous country—both Jewish and democratic—hold? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chaque année en Israël, la journée du souvenir de la Shoah est une commémoration nationale dédiée à la mémoire des six millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants de confession juive assassinés durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par le régime nazi. La transmission de la mémoire de la Shoah revêt un caractère d'urgence alors que les témoins directs se font de plus en rares. De nombreuses initiatives ont été lancées pour que ces témoignages ne disparaissent pas avec les derniers rescapés et la technologie vient au secours de la mémoire. En Israël, des dizaines de survivants enregistrent aujourd'hui leurs récits afin d'apparaître après leur décès sous forme d'hologramme. En Suisse, une application baptisée "Fuir la Shoah, ma rencontre avec des témoins" propose d'accéder à des ressources historiques grâce à un support numérique basé sur des témoignages filmés et des documents. Laurent Huguenin-Elie reçoit Nadine Fink, historienne, professeure en didactique des sciences humaines et sociales à la Haute Ecole Pédagogique du canton de Vaud. Ses travaux de recherche portent principalement sur les pratiques d'enseignement et d'apprentissage de l'histoire et sur les relations entre mémoire, histoire et identité.

Britský historik Timothy Garton Ash vo svojej najnovšej knihe Homelands (Osobná história Európy), uvažuje o miere poznania našej spoločnej európskej minulosti, v celej jej komplexnosti, ako o základnej jednotke civilizovanosti. Ako píše: Spomienky na udalosti, ktoré sme osobne videli alebo počuli, z ktorých sme sa tešili alebo naopak, ktoré sme ledva prežili, majú neporovnateľnú motivačnú silu. Avšak priama osobná spomienka je len jeden zo spôsobov, ktorým sa šíri poznanie o minulosti. Je tu tiež práca historikov, románopiscov, novinárov, či filmárov, ktorí, ako píše Garton Ash, sa vo svojich dielach snažia „oživiť mŕtvych pre dobro živých.“ Elie Wiesel, známy prozaik a laureát Nobelovej ceny, ktorý prežil Auschwitz, označuje tento proces ako pamäťovú transfúziu. V skratke, privilégiom civilizácie je, že sa môžeme „poučiť z minulosti bez toho, aby sme si to všetko museli sami prechádzať znova“. Vo svetle udalostí posledných rokov, však nikomu z nás netreba pripomínať, že, ako pripomína Ash, táto možnosť v sebe zároveň nesie obrovské riziko, riziko straty pamäte. Aktuálny podcast Dejiny sa pozerá na výsledky najnovšieho komparatívneho výskumu o aktuálnom stave poznania udalostí druhej svetovej vojny na Slovensku, ktorý iniciovala Nadácia otvorenej spoločnosti. Čo vieme o období druhej svetovej vojny? Čo vieme o deportáciách, arizáciách, o samotnej ľudáckej Slovenskej republike rokov 1938-1945? Kto podľa výskumov nesie zodpovednosť a kto nie? V čom sa zmenil náš postoj k vojnovým udalostiam za 30 rokov? A ako sú na tom znalosti najmladšej generácie, mladých dospelých? Poznámka na okraj, s mladými to nie je ani zďaleka také zlé ako si zvykneme myslieť. Skôr naopak. Viac o tom, už v podcaste. Agáta Šústová Drelová sa rozprávala so sociologičkou a publicistkou Oľgou Gyarfášovou ktorá pôsobí na Fakulte Sociálnych a Ekonomických Vied na Univerzite Komenského. Vo svojom výskume sa zaoberá politickou sociológiou, politickou kultúrou, volebným správaním ale tiež populizmom. Je autorkou desiatok odborných publikácii vo viacerých jazykoch, aktuálne napríklad štúdie o tzv. Personalizovanej politike, v Čechách a na Slovensku, ale tiež o populizme vo voľbách naprieč Višegrádskou štvorkou. Je tiež zostavovateľkou správy z výskumu Ľudácka Slovenská republika rokov 1939 – 1945 a Holokaust v historickej pamäti slovenskej spoločnosti, ktorej spoluautormi sú aj Monika Vrzgulová, Fedor Blaščák a Ján Hlavinka. – Podporte podcasty denníka SME kúpou prémiového predplatného a užívajte si podcasty bez reklamy na webe SME.sk alebo v mobilnej aplikácii SME.sk.

It's easy, too easy, to blame the past for not knowing what we know now. Much more useful is to examine how the past arrived at its conclusions, and see if we can discern what led in fruitful directions and what led to disaster. In this episode, Dad and I review the contents of his book, also called Before Auschwitz, examining what led Christian theologians to support, denounce, or try to avoid taking a stand on the rise of Nazism. It's a master class in theological method when the stakes were never higher—and a small step toward the long process of repentance for Christian anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism. Notes: 1. If you read no other book by Dad, be sure to read this one: Before Auschwitz 2.

Max Friedman is an author, retired corporate communicator, memoir writer, and second generation Holocaust survivor. His book titled “Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir,” is part memoir, part genealogical mystery, and part history, which explores the complicated relationship between two holocaust survivors, who experience the painful joy of a love touched by death.  Max shares how both his father and mother survived the unthinkable horror of the Holocaust, spending several years being imprisoned in concentration camps. During that time, his father's wife and two young daughters were murdered at Auschwitz. His mother's husband, parents, and most of her family were also murdered as well. His parents met in Sweden after the liberation, and they fell in love, had two children, and eventually immigrated to America.    Max explains how difficult it was to live in a family where both parents were haunted by the war and the atrocities they experienced and somehow managed to survive. He shares how he and his sister grew up in a dysfunctional household, where each of the four family members struggled to deal with the past by creating their own fantasies. It wasn't until his grandson asked him what it meant to be a survivor that Max went on a quest to see what really happened to his parents. This launched the beginning of a journey which was full of surprises, tears, pain, and understanding of what his parents and each of the individuals murdered in the Holocaust went through, and how it still impacts their descendants to this day. Download this episode to hear his heartbreaking yet hopeful story, and to honor and remember all of those who were lost in the Holocaust, and why we need to understand our history to prevent it from ever repeating itself.     https://www.facebook.com/max.friedman.56 https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-friedman-927629/ https://www.adl.org/ https://www.amazon.com/?fbclid=IwAR1vW5R90M5sgsTX4OmjN8yy42gUuHcFtNUnJhYAuCF9oc17B8FO8EBDCqw

Ex-Detroit Police Chief Isaiah "Ike" McKinnon says lifting the residency requirement for Detroit police has hurt the department."That literally killed us," McKinnon says during an interview Saturday on the videocast, "Detroit in Black and White," with host Adolph Mongo and co-hosts Vanessa Moss and Allan Lengel.McKinnon, who was police chief from 1994-1998, was referring to officers who don't reside in the city, which he says has resulted in less ties and concern about Detroit and its neighborhoods. In 1999, the state, under Gov. John Engler, enacted a law prohibiting residency requirements for police officers and other municipal employees.McKinnon, 79, also expresses skepticism about a recently announced 12-point safety plan to  address violence downtown, saying "it's not a new plan. They did it before, he said, acknowledging that it was not effective."I don't know how well this is going to work," he added. And he also talks about the need for more parental  responsiblity in the city to help curb crime and the racism he faced inside the department as a young officer. The show also includes some snippets from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's oral history of Allan Lengel's mother, Miriam Lengel, who was a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.The group discusses the Holocaust and Black slavery.

Max Friedman is an author, retired corporate communicator, memoir writer, and second generation Holocaust survivor. His book titled “Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir,” is part memoir, part genealogical mystery, and part history, which explores the complicated relationship between two holocaust survivors, who experience the painful joy of a love touched by death. Max shares how both his father and mother survived the unthinkable horror of the Holocaust, spending several years being imprisoned in concentration camps. During that time, his father's wife and two young daughters were murdered at Auschwitz. His mother's husband, parents, and most of her family were also murdered as well. His parents met in Sweden after the liberation, and they fell in love, had two children, and eventually immigrated to America. Max explains how difficult it was to live in a family where both parents were haunted by the war and the atrocities they experienced and somehow managed to survive. He shares how he and his sister grew up in a dysfunctional household, where each of the four family members struggled to deal with the past by creating their own fantasies. It wasn't until his grandson asked him what it meant to be a survivor that Max went on a quest to see what really happened to his parents. This launched the beginning of a journey which was full of surprises, tears, pain, and understanding of what his parents and each of the individuals murdered in the Holocaust went through, and how it still impacts their descendants to this day. Download this episode to hear his heartbreaking yet hopeful story, and to honor and remember all of those who were lost in the Holocaust, and why we need to understand our history to prevent it from ever repeating itself. https://www.facebook.com/max.friedman.56https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-friedman-927629/https://www.adl.org/https://www.amazon.com/?fbclid=IwAR1vW5R90M5sgsTX4OmjN8yy42gUuHcFtNUnJhYAuCF9oc17B8FO8EBDCqw Hosted on Acast.

Auschwitz is perhaps the best-known memorial site in the world. Epicenter of the Nazi extermination campaign of Europe's Jewish population, the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp system also held over 400,000 inmates (Jews and Gentiles both) in unspeakable conditions. Famous survivors such as Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi are widely read by high-schoolers and undergraduates, but a synoptic overview of the human experience and emotions of the Auschwitz inmates has long been missing. Piotr M.A. Cywiński, the director of Poland's Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, has produced a monumental 590-page work that seeks to fill this gap. On the basis of tens of thousands of pages of survivor testimony – some published, some drawn directly from the archives – Cywiński has assembled a topical overview of the Auschwitz “experience,” ranging from loneliness to empathy, numbness to decency, hunger to suicide, sex to religious faith.  Auschwitz: A Monograph on the Human (Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, 2022) is a breakthrough new pedagogical and reference tool for scholars of the Holocaust, genocide studies, and World War II. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. US bureau chief Jacob Magid and Diaspora affairs reporter Canaan Lidor join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Lidor offers color and perspectives from March of the Living in Poland, as some 9,000 people made the trek between two former Nazi-run death camps, in Oswiecim, Poland, marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. Magid discusses what US Senator Lindsey Graham told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the possibility of a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, following his recent visit in the region. Magid also dives into his analysis of the US visa waiver program, pushed by US Ambassador Tom Nides who wants Israel in the program, but has conditioned it upon allowing Palestinian-Americans to travel freely through Ben Gurion Airport. Steinberg mentions a new album of 13 songs, “Paskol Shlishi” (Third Soundtrack), written by headlining Israeli musicians, the latest endeavor that aims to connect the third and fourth generations to the tragedies and lessons of the Holocaust. Discussed articles include: At Auschwitz March of the Living, displays of Jewish unity in a sea of Israeli flags Halina Birenbaum survived the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Shermer and the Posners discuss: the nature and banality of evil • Are we all potential Nazis? • Mengele, Eichmann, Himmler, Hitler • The Pharmacist of Auschwitz • the Holocaust • the Stanford Prison Experiment • Milgram's shock experiments on obedience to authority • Abu Ghraib and other war crimes • restorative justice • the opioid crisis • the Vatican and the future of Catholicism. Gerald Posner is an award-winning journalist who has written twelve books, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK. His 2015 book, God's Bankers, a two-hundred-year history of the finances of the Vatican, was an acclaimed New York Times bestseller. Posner has written for many national magazines and papers, including the New York Times, The New Yorker, Newsweek, and Time, and he has been a regular contributor to NBC, the History Channel, CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and FOX News. His other books include Killing the Dream: James Earl Ray and the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Secrets of the Kingdom: The Inside Story of the Saudi-U.S. Connection, Mengele: The Complete Story, Hitler's Children: Sons and Daughters of leaders of the Third Reich Talk About Themselves and Their Fathers, Warlords of Crime: Chinese Secret Societies — the New Mafia, and Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11. He lives in Miami Beach with his wife, author Trisha Posner. Patricia Posner is a British-born writer who has collaborated with her husband, the author Gerald Posner, on twelve non-fiction books, including Mengele: The Complete Story — a biography of Dr. Josef Mengele; Hitler's Children — a 1991 collection of interviews with the children of Nazi perpetrators; and most recently, God's Bankers — a financial history of the Roman Catholic Church. Her work has appeared, among other places, in the Miami Herald, The Daily Beastand Salon. She lives in Miami Beach. Her book, The Pharmacist of Auschwitz, is the little known story of Victor Capesius, a Bayer pharmaceutical salesman from Romania who, at the age of 35, joined the Nazi SS in 1943 and quickly became the chief pharmacist at the largest death camp, Auschwitz. Based in part on previously classified documents, Patricia Posner exposes Capesius's reign of terror at the camp, his escape from justice, fueled in part by his theft of gold ripped from the mouths of corpses, and how a handful of courageous survivors and a single brave prosecutor finally brought him to trial for murder twenty years after the end of the war.
