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

En esta entrega de Contadores de Historias, Santiago Segovia recibe al Ingeniero Carlos Gámez, un investigador empedernido de la alta magia, la teología y los fenómenos inexplicables, quien nos comparte experiencias que pocos se atreverían a contar.Descubre su perturbadora vivencia tras ser llevado con los ojos vendados a un auténtico aquelarre en medio de la sierra, donde presenció un letal combate mágico entre dos sacerdotisas que terminó con una levitación y un ataque fulminante de energía. Además, Carlos relata los abrumadores ataques mentales que sufrió al intentar leer los exorcismos documentados del Padre Gabriele Amorth y la inmensa carga de dolor, angustia y muerte que aún se respira en la barraca de Josef Mengele en Auschwitz.Exploraremos también por qué la Ouija no es un juego, con historias reales de posesiones en los años 80, y el tremendo peligro de tatuarse símbolos ocultistas o replicar rituales de internet sin saber a qué entidades les estamos abriendo la puerta.

Pour la première fois, un historien entrera au Panthéon. Mardi, Marc Bloch et son épouse Simone rejoindront ce haut lieu de mémoire de la République. Juif, résistant, intellectuel majeur, fondateur de l'école des Annales, Marc Bloch incarne une certaine idée de la France, mais aussi du courage et de l'engagement face aux dérives politiques. Son parcours, de la Sorbonne à la Résistance, jusqu'à son exécution par la Gestapo en 1944, fait de lui une figure à la fois scientifique et héroïque.Une figure du passé qui ressurgit dans notre présent, une boussole morale à laquelle le Président de la République a choisi de rendre hommage…Mais quel Marc Bloch entre au Panthéon ?

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.

First up this week, a Pasadena cop was jerking around and shot another cop in the shoulder, proving once again that every police force in America should implement an IQ test. Also: Dead Pool Update: Gene Shalit died, and team Brian takes a 2-1 lead. Brian speculates on the sex lives of Kermit and Miss Piggy. A Dick Cavett correction. An HOA voted to exterminate hundreds of geese, and the boys are torn, because they hate both HOAs and geese. You could burn geese for fuel, right? The Auschwitz parking lot was always full. A drunk and / or high woman spit on a cop twice, and got popped in the mouth for her effort. There's nothing better than a Three Stooges pie fight. “The old Union Pacific doesn't come by here much anymore.” Jimmy Cagney's open palm grapefruit technique b/w The Golden Age of Broad Smacking.

There are Holocaust stories that leave us heartbroken. There are others that leave us inspired. And then there are those rare stories that somehow accomplish both at once—stories that remind us of the depths of human evil, but also of the extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination of the human spirit. Today, I am deeply honored to welcome Dr. Mark Olsky and Dr. Hana Berger Moran. Their lives are living miracles. Their remarkable story is chronicled in the New York Times bestselling book, 'Born Survivors', by acclaimed author Wendy Holden. It is the astonishing true account of three pregnant Jewish women who concealed their pregnancies from the Nazis while imprisoned in Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Against every conceivable odd, they survived long enough to give birth—and their babies survived as well. Those babies were Mark Olsky, Hana Berger Moran, and Eva Clarke (My interview with Eva can be found in a previous podcast). In this unforgettable conversation, we explore not only the unimaginable courage of their mothers, but also what it means to carry such a profound legacy into the modern world. We discuss survival, memory, faith, gratitude, family, and the triumph of life over death. Five Riveting Moments from This Interview: 07:37 — The Last Goodbye Hanahana recounts the final conversation between her parents through the barbed wire of Auschwitz as her father pleaded, “Just think good thoughts.” Days later, he was murdered. 12:04 — A Warm Bath in a Concentration Camp After her pregnancy was discovered, Hana's mother made a remarkable request of the guards: “I've been standing ten hours a day. I would love a warm bath for my feet.” What happened next is astonishing. 16:00 — Born on a Cattle Train Mark describes the unimaginable conditions under which his mother gave birth to him on a seventeen-day transport train packed with over one hundred prisoners. 19:25 — Do You Believe in Miracles? Mark reflects on surviving when so many others perished and offers a deeply moving perspective on luck, loss, and the meaning of survival. 35:35 — Meeting the Man Who Saved His Life Hana shares the emotional story of meeting one of the American liberators who rescued her as a newborn—and why she called him “Daddy Pete.” This is more than a Holocaust story. It is a story about mothers who refused to surrender hope. It is a story about babies who became witnesses to history. And it is a story about the enduring power of life, even in humanity's darkest hour. Please join me for this extraordinary conversation with Dr. Mark Olsky and Dr. Hana Berger Moran. ——

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. Flammarion sujets traités : tragique , Irène Cahen d'Anvers, ruban, bleu, Auguste Renoir, impressionniste, Drancy, Auschwitz, Occupation, pillage Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

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.

Selma Leijdesdorff was historicus en hoogleraar en gold internationaal als een pionier op het gebied van de oral history. Daarnaast was zij zeer betrokken bij de vrouwenbeweging en bedenker van de naam Dolle Mina, een actiegroep waarvan zij in 1969 ook een van de oprichters was. Leijdesdorff tekende de persoonlijke geschiedenissen op van overlevenden van oorlogen, waaronder de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Op de achtergrond speelde de oorlogsgeschiedenis van haar eigen familie altijd op. Haar ouders zaten beiden in een kamp (Auschwitz en een Japans interneringskamp) en haar vier grootouders werden vermoord in concentratiekampen. Journalist Maarten Dallinga volgt haar spoor terug en praat met: *politicoloog en historicus Siep Stuurman, haar echtgenoot met wie ze een leven lang samenwoonde. *oud-minister, hoogleraar en goede vriendin Jet Bussemaker. *en Dienke Hondius, universitair hoofddocent geschiedenis aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) held a screening of the landmark 1948 Polish film The Last Stage (Ostatni etap). Directed by Wanda Jakubowska — a communist, resistance fighter, and survivor of Auschwitz — the film was among the first cinematic depictions of the Nazi concentration camps and the organised resistance that developed within them. Several Auschwitz survivors appear in the film, portraying roles closely connected to their own lived experiences just a few years after the liberation, adding a rare and powerful layer of direct testimony and lived experience to its reconstruction of events. Produced in postwar people's democratic Poland and filmed partly on location at Auschwitz itself, The Last Stage stands as both historical testimony and a forceful affirmation of the role played by communists in the struggle against fascism and genocide. At a time when our ruling class seeks to discredit communists and anti-imperialists as “anti-Semitic” for expressing solidarity with oppressed peoples and resisting imperialist war, occupation, sanctions, and national oppression, this screening reasserts a clear historical record: communists were at the forefront of the struggle against racism, fascism, colonialism, and war. The CPGB-ML stands firmly against all forms of racism, including anti-Semitism, while rejecting attempts to weaponise such accusations in order to silence political solidarity and internationalist struggle. George Korkovelos, Cultural Secretary of the CPGB-ML, delivered an in-depth introductory presentation. This event forms part of the party's wider cultural and political work to defend historical memory, strengthen proletarian internationalism, and uphold the struggle for liberation everywhere. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

Today, Bruce and Eb welcome author Michael Calvin to share the incredible true story behind his new book, Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped The Gas Chamber at Auschwitz. Then, Tom King, President of The 1791 Foundation, joins to discuss the organization's latest work and mission.

Ruta's Closet tells the compelling Holocaust story of a Jewish family, imprisoned in the tiny Shavl ghetto in Lithuania. The Kron family survived the horror of the Nazi regime, thanks to the resourcefulness of Meyer and Gita Kron and the bravery of their rescuers. While Ruta's Closet is based on fact, it reads like fiction. The drama of the events described and the richness of the characters make it a compelling work of narrative nonfiction-as intriguing as it is inspirational. The Krons are the focus but horrific events in the ghetto are also revealed, including mass murders, a Nazi ban on births, the removal of all children to the Auschwitz gas chambers. All dreadful events; but accounts of brave rescues and daring acts offer hope for humanity. Ruta's Closet is also the focus of a Holocaust awareness podcast series, available from all popular platforms. High School teachers can also download a teacher's guide and classroom activities recommendations, authored by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. Adult readers can download Book Club Talking Points, also authored by VHEC. Both guides, along with additional informative audio and text material, are hosted at the book's interactive website, rutascloset.com.

The Routledge Handbook to Auschwitz-Birkenau (Routledge, 2026) examines Auschwitz-Birkenau as both a site and a symbol of Nazi genocide. Scholars from a range of disciplinary perspectives consider Auschwitz's history by engaging with Holocaust historiography and its place in Holocaust memory and representation, illustrating their mutual influence. The chapters bring new insights to topics that other studies of Auschwitz have explored before, such as the Sonderkommando, the Czech family camp, and literary representations of Auschwitz. Other chapters cover recent developments and more neglected areas, such as the experience and memory of Romani prisoners, the fate of Soviet prisoners of war, and Auschwitz's presence on social media. The handbook also responds to a number of recent trends and new paradigms in Holocaust Studies, including contributions from the fields of Environmental Studies, Spatial Studies, and Gender Studies.

The Routledge Handbook to Auschwitz-Birkenau (Routledge, 2026) examines Auschwitz-Birkenau as both a site and a symbol of Nazi genocide. Scholars from a range of disciplinary perspectives consider Auschwitz's history by engaging with Holocaust historiography and its place in Holocaust memory and representation, illustrating their mutual influence. The chapters bring new insights to topics that other studies of Auschwitz have explored before, such as the Sonderkommando, the Czech family camp, and literary representations of Auschwitz. Other chapters cover recent developments and more neglected areas, such as the experience and memory of Romani prisoners, the fate of Soviet prisoners of war, and Auschwitz's presence on social media. The handbook also responds to a number of recent trends and new paradigms in Holocaust Studies, including contributions from the fields of Environmental Studies, Spatial Studies, and Gender Studies.

Episode: 1584 Hugo Distler: Beleaguered pioneer of twentieth century music.  Today, the brief moment of a musical genius.

Creo que El hombre en busca de sentido no es un libro sobre Auschwitz o sobre los campos de concentración nazis. Es un libro sobre vos.Sobre el espacio que existe entre lo que te pasa y cómo vos respondés a eso. Sobre la libertad que te queda incluso cuando creés que no te queda absolutamente nada. Sobre esa capacidad de elegir que nadie, bajo ninguna circunstancia, te puede arrebatar.

"This is a cautionary tale about how extremism and fascism can creep up on us. It always begins with hate speech and dehumanization... from verbal violence, it's a very short leap to physical violence." — Dr. Georgette Bennett ABOUT THIS EPISODE Dr. Georgette Bennett is an award-winning sociologist, widely published author, former NBC News correspondent, and founder of both the Tanenbaum Center for Inter-Religious Understanding and the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees — which has mobilized more than $660 million in humanitarian aid. Her latest book, Half Jew, Full Life, tells the extraordinary story of Holocaust survivor Gary "Pips" Phillips, a distant relative who became a surrogate father to Georgette after her own father's death. Pips was classified by the Nazis as a Mischling — half-Jewish — yet voluntarily embraced his Jewish identity at the very moment it could be fatal. Mike and Georgette discuss Pips's four arrests and three escapes, the Nazis who unexpectedly saved his life, the challenge of writing a third-person memoir from psychiatric recordings, and why this story carries urgent lessons about identity, denial, and the creep of extremism. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. A Holocaust story unlike any other. Pips was a Mischling first degree — an Aryan mother, a Jewish father — who voluntarily chose to be Jewish by becoming a bar mitzvah the very week the Nuremberg Laws were enacted. Almost nothing has been written about people in this category. 2. Nazis both persecuted and saved him. Pips was arrested four times and escaped three times. In key moments, individual Nazis — motivated by love, lust, or personal connection — intervened to save his life, complicating the black-and-white narrative of the Holocaust. 3. Survival was his career. Living underground in Berlin among 6,500 Jews who went into hiding, Pips navigated a world where you couldn't buy food or rent a room without papers stamped with a "J." Every day was a question of where to eat and where to sleep. 4. Psychiatric tapes became the primary source. Pips recorded his life story across dozens of sessions with his psychiatrist. Georgette had them transcribed while he was still alive, giving the book an authentic first-person voice despite being written in third person. 5. Trauma never fully heals. Pips's wife Olga, an Auschwitz survivor, processed her experience through silence and ultimately took her own life in 2005. Pips's own trauma surfaced decades later as severe palpitations with no physical cause. 6. Identity is a lifelong negotiation. Pips spent his entire life seeking acceptance as a Jew despite never formally converting. The title Half Jew, Full Life comes from his own declaration: "I don't want to be a half Jew. I want to be a full Jew." 7. A cautionary tale for today. The book traces how extremism begins with hate speech and dehumanization, and how denial during that phase allows violence to escalate — a pattern Georgette sees playing out in the present day. 8. The American Dream, chapter two. After the war, Pips arrived in America as a waiter and bicycle messenger and ended up co-owning the largest photo agency in the world, hobnobbing with celebrities like Natalie Wood and Raquel Welch — never having owned a camera.

Holocaust survivor Nate Leipciger joined me for a powerful Conversation with Alan, sharing his story of survival, resilience, and the responsibility to bear witness.At just 11 years old, Nate was forced into ghettos and later Auschwitz during the Nazi occupation of Poland. He survived unimaginable conditions alongside his father, including a death march, before being liberated in 1945. His mother and sister were murdered during the Holocaust.In this conversation, Nate reflected on his memoir The Weight of Freedom, the vivid memories he continues to carry, and the bond with his father that helped him survive. He also spoke about his lifelong work as an educator, including his involvement with March of the Living, and his mission to ensure future generations understand not only what happened, but why it must never be forgotten.At 98, Nate's message remains clear and urgent: love your neighbor, accept your fellow man as your equal, and choose to be an upstander, not a bystander.Bernice Leipciger also joined the conversation, offering her perspective on Nate's journey and the importance of continuing to share his story.

¿Qué clase de hombre decide entrar voluntariamente en Auschwitz? En este episodio de La Biblioteca de Alejandría viajamos a la Polonia ocupada por los nazis para conocer la historia real de Witold Pilecki, uno de los personajes más extraordinarios, y menos conocidos, de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Oficial del ejército polaco y miembro de la resistencia, Pilecki tomó una decisión imposible: dejarse capturar para infiltrarse en Auschwitz. Su misión era organizar una red clandestina dentro del campo y enviar información al exterior sobre las atrocidades que estaban ocurriendo allí. A través de su increíble historia hablaremos de la invasión de Polonia de 1939, la resistencia clandestina, las primeras noticias sobre el exterminio nazi y el famoso “Informe Pilecki”, uno de los testimonios más importantes surgidos del horror de Auschwitz. Un episodio sobre el valor, la memoria y la necesidad de contar la verdad… incluso cuando nadie quiere escucharla. Espero que lo disfrutéis.

Dean Hall was sick, grieving, and without hope — until he made a decision that changed everything: find something worth living for. In this powerful encore release from the Biological Blueprint, Dean joins Freddie to explore the terrain that no lab test can measure — purpose, spirit, and the courage to take just one more step. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's observations from Auschwitz, Dean reveals why it wasn't the strongest or the smartest who survived the unsurvivable — it was those most passionately tied to a purpose larger than themselves. He walks through his three pillars for navigating a dark night of the soul: releasing the need for perfection, trusting the body's innate ability to heal what it created, and the radical simplicity of asking yourself only one question — what is the next step? Whether you're 180 miles into an open water swim or sitting with a diagnosis that just changed your life, Dean's answer is always the same: you already know. The second half of this conversation goes into territory rarely explored in health and wellness — transgenerational trauma, family systems therapy, and the epigenetic wounds passed silently from generation to generation. Dean shares how he's only recently begun mapping his own ancestral lineage, from a 14-year-old great grandmother who crossed the ocean alone from Sweden to fishermen and brawlers from Northern England — and how forest bathing and cold water immersion have become his most powerful tools for releasing what isn't his to carry. He also shares a profoundly simple breathwork and prayer practice he has used with thousands of clients over 20 years — a tool he calls centering down — that uses the brain's hardwired need to answer every question it's asked to surface your deepest purpose. One hundred percent of people who stick with it through the frustration, he says, find their answer. This one is worth a second listen.   Episode Highlights [02:13] – Dean shares the world-record swims that reshaped his life after cancer [06:36] – How mindfulness and purpose helped him endure extreme physical suffering [10:20] – The sudden brain cancer diagnosis that took his wife's life in just 52 days [14:20] – Losing his identity after grief and feeling completely disconnected from himself [20:52] – Discovering leukemia during a routine knee surgery workup [24:30] – Viktor Frankl's work on meaning becomes a turning point in Dean's recovery [31:00] – Why swimming the Willamette River became a mission bigger than himself [41:22] – Attempting the 187-mile swim while living with active leukemia and lymphoma [46:47] – How cold water immersion unexpectedly changed his mental and physical health [51:20] – The shocking blood test that showed his leukemia had disappeared [58:14] – Forest bathing, natural killer cells, and the role of nature in healing [01:03:20] – How grief finally began leaving his body in the forest [01:07:20] – Dean's philosophy of “BioWild Psychology” and reconnecting with nature [01:15:22] – Why people facing illness must become active participants in their healing   Links & Resources: Dean's Website: https://www.thewildcureway.com/ “The Wild Cure” book: https://www.thewildcureway.com/books   Upgrade Your Health The Biological Blueprint Course: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprint Earn 200 in BitCoin + Change your health BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 Code: beautifullybroken Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

La Rafle du « Billet vert » a été la première rafle de personnes juives en France, pendant la guerre. Pourtant, c'est la moins connue. Le 14 mai 1941, à Paris et en proche banlieue, près de 6 500 hommes juifs étrangers ont été convoqués par la préfecture de police. Ceux qui ont répondu à cette convocation ont été arrêtés. Et après un an passé dans des camps, en France, dans le Loiret, ils ont été déportés à Auschwitz.Depuis le 10 mai, le mémorial de la Shoah à Paris commémore cette rafle, avec une exposition de 98 photos. Ces photos ont été retrouvées en 2020, l'auteur était au départ un mystère.

Edith Eger was only 16 years old when the Nazis invaded Hungary during World War II. Her future was ripped from her when she and her family were imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. Edith's parents were sent to the gas chambers immediately – but Edith survived, forced to entertain Dr Mengele – known as the Angel of Death – until she survived the death march. For many years after, Edith struggled with her past, rife with horror and trauma. It was only after reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning that Edith stopped running from her trauma and faced it head on. When we interviewed her, Dr. Edith Eger was a 93-year-old clinician, speaker and author who is so full of wisdom and light, we could've done ten episodes with her. She passed away on April 27th, 2026, but her light, her words, and her impact will live on forever.

Ian Buruma discusses the moral dilemmas of survival, focusing on Stella Kübler, who betrayed other Jews to save her parents from Auschwitz. He asserts that information about the Holocaust was widely available via the BBC and soldiers' letters, meaning that for many Berliners, ignorance was a choice. (6/16)1945 

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-7-2026.1945 BERLIN.Ian Buruma discusses his book Stay Alive, focusing on his father Leo's 1943 decision to enter mandatory labor in a Berlin factory to protect his parents from Nazi retaliation. The narrative explores Berlin's transition from a striving capital into a city facing bombings, malnutrition, and lice. (1/16)Ian Buruma describes Joseph Goebbels as a master propagandist who used entertainment to distract Berliners from wartime horrors. He explains "unpolitical" as a psychological justification for ignoring Nazi atrocities. The segment also details the complex Nuremberg racial laws used to systematically categorize and persecute Jewish populations. (2/16)Ian Buruma defines the wartime greeting "Stay Alive" and profiles resistors like von Moltke. He discusses jazz guitarist Coco Schumann, who survived Auschwitz by playing in a band while others were executed. The segment also covers the Wannsee Conference, where the "final solution" was organized. (3/16)Ian Buruma details the "U-boats," young Jews living clandestine lives in Berlin without legal papers. He describes the city's descent into lawlessness following the defeat at Stalingrad. Survival became transactional, relying on the goodwill or opportunism of strangers in a society where Hitler was the law. (4/16)Ian Buruma examines the failure of strategic bombing to break civilian morale, which instead fostered solidarity. He recounts his father's letters from a Berlin labor barracks, describing the harsh conditions of malnutrition and vermin. He also highlights diaries showing how individuals navigated the criminal regime. (5/16)Ian Buruma discusses the moral dilemmas of survival, focusing on Stella Kübler, who betrayed other Jews to save her parents from Auschwitz. He asserts that information about the Holocaust was widely available via the BBC and soldiers' letters, meaning that for many Berliners, ignorance was a choice. (6/16)Ian Buruma recounts the final months of the war, dominated by Goebbels' "death cult" propaganda and the film Colberg. He describes the trial of resistor von Moltke, who stood up to the sadistic judge Roland Freisler, and the eventual bombing of the court that killed the judge. (7/16)Ian Buruma details the Soviet occupation of Berlin, characterized by mass looting and rape. He tracks the fates of his book's protagonists: his father Leo narrowly escaped execution by a Russian soldier, while resistance leader Borchardtwas tragically killed by a stray shot after liberation. (8/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes China's diplomatic strategy, noting Beijing's desire for a Trump-Xi summit despite Middle Eastern conflicts. China aims to manage trade tariffs and stabilize Taiwan relations, believing that U.S. involvement in external wars may ultimately weaken American alliances in Asia and strengthen China's regional standing. (9/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes reports of Vladimir Putin operating from bunkers to avoid precision strikes. He discusses Ukraine's emergence as a "drone war startup" and the resulting economic strain. Lieven notes that while the frontline remains frozen, Russian public support for the conflict is beginning to crumble. (10/16)Rick Fisher reveals China's plans to double the size of the Tiangong space station by 2030. He warns of its military dual-use potential, suggesting the station and Shuntan telescope could serve as orbital "battle stations" for surveillance or strikes, providing China with a significant new strategic deterrent. (11/16)Rick Fisher explores the militarization of the Moon, citing Chinese interest in lunar radar and "moon hoppers" for resource discovery. He describes a technological competition with the U.S. involving nuclear power plants, lasers, and satellite constellations intended for both peaceful research and potential offensive or defensive combat. (12/16)Veronique de Rugy critiques government-matched savings plans like the "Trump IRA." She argues these technocratic fixes add to the national debt without addressing core tax code flaws. She highlights how high penalties for early withdrawals and payroll taxes effectively discourage lower-income workers from saving for the future. (13/16)Jim McTague examines the AI boom, noting the high valuation of DeepSeek and its use of black-market chips. He discusses a lawsuit against Character AI for unlicensed medical advice and the economic impact of data centers, which provide local tax revenue but consume significant real estate. (14/16)Ken Croswell describes the Milky Way's structure as a barred spiral galaxy. He explains that the central bar exerts massive gravitational force. This gravity has trapped billions of "Trojan stars" into two vast whirlpools, similar to how Jupiter's gravity captures Trojan asteroids in its orbit. (15/16)Ken Croswell details the discovery of the "Hercules stream," stars resonating with the galaxy's central bar. He notes that as the bar's rotation slows, there is a 20% chance Earth's solar system will join this "exclusive club" of Trojan stars in two billion years, changing our galactic position. (16/16)

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1922DM Edith Eger doesn't believe in "overcoming" trauma. She calls hers a cherished wound. Something she learned, as she puts it, in the classroom of Auschwitz. She tells the story of two Vietnam veterans. Same injuries. Same diagnosis. Same prognosis. One was curled in a fetal position, asking why. The other told her he was grateful to be in a wheelchair because he could reach his children closer. Same body. Entirely different life. The only difference was meaning. What hit hardest: Edith had her degree, her white coat, her patients, and still felt like an imposter. She hadn't done her own work. So she went back to Auschwitz. Alone. Her sister said she was an idiot. She calls it reliving so you can revise. Not going back. A new beginning.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, don't do this Iran deal, Mr. President! The Iranian regime the world's worst terrorist state for decades, which funds proxies, lies in negotiations, and uses talks to buy time while pursuing its fundamentalist ideology. The only path to true elimination of this regime is arming and training the Iranian people to overthrow their internal police state. Without fully toppling the regime, it will regroup, Hezbollah and Hamas will survive, and critics (Democrats, media, isolationists) will still attack Trump as having wimped out. Also, Barack Obama ignited Marxist-Islamist influences during his administration and is now praising Zohran Mamdani. In New York City, Mamdani is deliberately fostering a hostile and potentially deadly environment for Jews, where they face intimidation by thugs and Islamists, cannot safely attend temple, and encounter widespread antisemitic graffiti. Though he issues denunciations, he abolishes the anti-Semitic commission, targets organizations, and signals his intent to create conditions forcing Jews to leave, effectively aiming to depopulate the city of its Jewish community. Later, California has awarded CAIR-CA at least $41 million in taxpayer funds—mostly federal—over the last five years through the Department of Social Services, primarily for immigration legal services to Afghan newcomers. CAIR presents itself as a Muslim civil rights group but it is a front group for Hamas. CAIR should be shut down and its officials deported. Afterward, Alan Dershowitz, who has left the Democrat Party, calls in. Republicans need to retain the House and Senate to prevent Senators Warren, Murphy, and Rep AOC from controlling key committees – they are harmful to the country and peace. He calls Bernie Sanders the greatest anti-Semite today for opposing anything Jews or Israel do, drawing a parallel to 1932 German Jews who supported Hitler and ended up in Auschwitz. Sanders is a hypocrite who claims Jewish heritage yet abandoned diverse Brooklyn for overwhelmingly white Vermont to address racial problems. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Edith Eger was 16 years old when she danced for Josef Mengele at Auschwitz the same night her mother was sent to the gas chamber. She survived. And then she spent decades running from what happened until she finally turned around and walked straight back into it. What she found there changed everything. Edith teaches that freedom is not something that happens to you. It is something you choose. Again and again. By becoming your own good parent, facing what you have been carrying, and giving yourself permission to let go. Anger is not the primary emotion, she says. Underneath it is always fear. And underneath fear is a little child who just needs someone to show up. This conversation will rearrange something inside you. It is not about forgetting. It is not about overcoming. It is about learning to cherish the wound, and using it to become more alive.
