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.

Juni 1944 beherrschen deutsche Truppen fast ganz Europa; drei Monate später stehen die Alliierten an den Grenzen des Reichs. Das Ende des blutigsten Kriegs der Geschichte scheint unmittelbar bevorzustehen, doch es wird weitere acht Monate dauern, in denen noch einmal so viele Menschen wie in den fünf Jahren zuvor sterben werden. Und: Als zwischen Mai und Juli über 400.000 ungarische Juden nach Auschwitz deportiert werden, kommt der Holocaust zu einem seiner letzten Exzesse.Im Sommer 1944 begann sich der Todeswalzer in einer nie zuvor für möglich gehaltenen Geschwindigkeit zu drehen. Die Gleichzeitigkeit des Mordens und der Lebensfreude, auch im Reich, packend dargestellt in Christian Bommarius' großer Erzählung, macht uns bis heute fassungslos.Christian Bommarius, Jahrgang 1958, studierte Germanistik und Rechtswissenschaft. Nach journalistischen Stationen, etwa als Korrespondent beim Bundesverfassungsgericht, war er von 1998 bis 2017 Redakteur der ›Berliner Zeitung‹, anschließend Kolumnist der ›Süddeutschen Zeitung‹ und ist seither freier Publizist.

"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.

Las marchas de la muerte, un capítulo oscuro de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, reflejan el sufrimiento y la barbarie de millones de prisioneros del régimen nazi. Mientras las fuerzas soviéticas avanzaban desde el este y los aliados desde el oeste, los prisioneros fueron trasladados en condiciones inhumanas, con miles de muertos a lo largo del camino.
¿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.

"There are so many extraordinary moments in Claude Lanzmann's nine hour documentary, Shoah but it's the interviews with the railway workers and the train drivers that helped facilitate the horrors of the holocaust (some of them still working those same lines when the movie was made in the 70's and 80's) and those with the farmers and local people who bore witness to the trains that have the most impact. The sheer matter-of-factness of their recounting; the lack of compassion, the smiles and shoulder shrugging. The banality of genocide. "After I'd watched Shoah, I felt as though something inside of me had been broken. From childhood I had grown up with the idea of this as the worst of human crimes, the word holocaust, alone, meant to pause for breath. Now here was the shock of seeing people involved with and witness to it writing it off as just another thing that happened in the course of a day of work. It was a shock, though, that came accompanied by an uncomfortable realisation that of course that's how it was: for evil to be committed on such a huge scale it couldn't have been any other way."The ‘Final Solution' was a railway operation run to a timetable. It was: mechanics, logistics, coke and steam. Wagoning, shunting, shovelling and coaling. Rubber stamps and forms in triplicate. Cold, logical, every day planning. "I used locomotive sounds and looped them."There's a legend that there are no birds at Auschwitz but I imagined gazing up high and longing to escape. I have also read about how the inmates began to see the contrails of the American bombers late in the war. I can't imagine what that must have meant to them. I can't imagine how much hope they still held onto after everything that they had experienced. "I imagined a folk song, sang it and then reprised its melody like a memory of the singer gone."In his book The Truce, Primo Levi recounts that the very worst thing said to the inmates by the camp guards was that even if by a miracle some of them survived the camp it wouldn't matter, because the perpetrators were going to destroy all of the evidence and hide it all from the world and nobody that the survivors tried to tell about it would ever believe any of it was true."It is the duty of every one of us as human beings to make sure that that prophecy is never allowed to come to pass."Birkenau Gate, Auschwitz soundscape reimagined by Jon Griffin.
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.

In total, more than 130,000 women prisoners were registered there during thecamp's existence. The history of the first transports of women is discussed by Dr. Teresa Wontor-Cichy from the Research Center of the Auschwitz Museum.======Online lesson about women in KL Auschwitz
Stephen Lewis, who once made Time magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people, was a humanitarian and ambassador who led Ontario's NDP before pushing the world to help millions of HIV/AIDS patients in Africa obtain life-saving medicine. His passing on Mar. 31 prompted an outpouring of tributes from global leaders and African grandmothers alike. Hours before Lewis died, at the age of 88, he was able to watch his son, Avi, continue the family's political legacy by being elected as the new federal NDP leader. Lewis is just one of several noteworthy Canadian Jews to have passed away recently. The CJN's obituary columnist, Heather Ringel, joins North Star host Ellin Bessner on today's episode to reveal how Lewis and this spring's four other featured “Honourable Menschen” gave back to their communities. The others include Wolf Bronet, the Auschwitz survivor who founded Montreal's “Wolf Pack” running club and helped raise funds for 14 ambulances for Israel through Magen David Adom; Sara Vered, who fought in Israel's War of Independence before helping bring Israeli and Jewish culture to Ottawa through education, the arts and philanthropy; Al Osten, the former singer who built a Weight Watchers empire in Western Canada and donated millions, alongside his late partner Buddy Victor; and Sondra Gotlieb, the Winnipeg-born journalist and author whose sharp observations made her one of the most recognizable Canadian voices in Washington diplomacy and media circles.

Catherine Ostler joins Andrew Roberts to discuss her new book The Renoir Girls, which unravels the extraordinary true story behind Pierre-Auguste Renoir's famous portraits of the Cahen d'Anvers sisters — a tale that stretches from the glittering salons of Belle Époque Paris and the fury of the Dreyfus Affair to Nazi-occupied France and Auschwitz concentration camp. Blending art, aristocracy, scandal, betrayal, and survival, Ostler reveals how one wealthy Jewish family became caught in the violent currents of French anti-Semitism, while the paintings themselves survived war, looting, and exile to become silent witnesses to one of Europe's darkest centuries.

In May of last year, a warning about AI came from somewhere unexpected: The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.Posting publicly on social media, the museum warned about a Facebook account using generative AI to create fake images of people who died in the Holocaust. The people in said images were sometimes real—with real names, birthplaces, and stories of deportation that the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum itself had shared before. They had real faces captured in real surviving photographs, which were likely abused to generate the false images.In other words, someone, or some team of people online, was deepfaking the Holocaust.As the Auschwitz museum wrote online:“These are not real photos of the victims. They are digital inventions, often stylized or sanitized, that risk turning remembrance into fictionalized performance. The history of Auschwitz is a well-documented story. Altering its visual record with AI imagery introduces distortion, no matter the intent.”Months later, the public found out what that intent was: money.A BBC investigation found an international network of Facebook accounts posting AI-generated images to earn money from those images' potential virality. It's a problem sometimes referred to as “AI slop” but it comes with a major incentive. When accounts that make these kinds of images are invited to Facebook's content monetization program, they can make $1,000 a month for posting anything that gets clicks.And on Facebook, the BBC found, that means several accounts posting AI-generated images about the Holocaust. As the BBC reported:“AI spammers have posted fake images purporting to be from inside [Auschwitz], such as a prisoner playing a violin or lovers meeting at the boundaries of fences—attracting tens of thousands of likes and shares.”The economics of lying are concrete today. People can use AI to make fake images that make people feel good about terrible things or feel scared about untrue things, and they can make money until shut down by the Big Tech platforms themselves, which, in this case, only happened because of the BBC's investigation. In fact, it's that type of inaction from social media platforms that compelled the German government and multiple Holocaust memorial institutions to send an open letter earlier this year that asked for better controls and restrictions against this type of content.As the signatories warned in their letter, the economic appeal for these accounts to distort history is too high a risk to allow. You can read the full letter here.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Clara Mansfeld, a historian working on digital communications at one of the institutions signed onto the open letter—the Foundation of Hamburg Memorials and Learning Centers Commemorating the Victims of Nazi Crimes. In their conversation, Mansfeld discusses digital access to history, the manipulation of factual records through AI-generated imagery, and the threat that society faces when it becomes harder to evaluate the truth.“What happens when the first thought we have with every historical image is, ‘Is that even real or is that AI?' I don't think we have really grasped what that means for us as a society.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.

In a PS to our coverage of the Eichmann Trial we elaborate about the testimony of Dr. Foldi's description of the last time he saw his daughter in a red coat who was separated from him upon their arrival at Auschwitz. Ever since, "the girl in the red coat" a nameless, faceless child became a representative , a composite metaphor for the millions of children who perished in the Holocaust. She was artistically portrayed In Spielberg's Schindler's List. Another outcome of Holocaust awareness, but far from the eyes of the public, Ben Gurion realized how vulnerable the Jewish People are. Given the vagaries of world history he did not wish to be exclusively dependent on the West, and decided that Israel needed to become a nuclear power. How tiny impoverished Israel pulled this off, is one more chapter in the wonders of Israel. Most of the Israel's south — the Negev Desert — was barren and uninhabitable. New immigrants were streaming into the country and every drop of water was spoken for. Israel wasn't just building a state — it was racing against thirst. Solving this problem would require innovation like the world had never seen, and something Israel's Arab neighbors could not tolerate.

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.

Relationship with God Episode 115 tells the story of a survivor from Auschwitz and the miraculous connection and marriage he makes with the young woman who saved his life after the Allied Forces came into the concentration camps at the end of WWII. The story reveals: It reveals the power and presence of God in our lives. It reveals the mercy of God amidst the tragedy that we humans have created. It reveals the continuing witness to how a story can affect us when we hear something that seems to “break through the reality of tragedy” and we find that “hope” is what we cannot escape. We hope for something that pierces darkness, destruction, despair and death. God's Greatness God has conquered and continues to conquer all four forces that have come against His light, creative nature, hope, and life itself. His light pierces darkness. His creative nature steps into destruction. His unyielding presence defeats despair. His resurrection power conquers death. The Deceiver cannot conquer God's goodness, love, power and presence in our lives. Jesus calls us to him as the Shepherd and we the sheep who cannot live without the Good Shepherd: I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy' I hve come that they may have life, and it to the full.

Prova Shopify ad 1 € - Vai su shopify.it L'amore per la propria terra, la forte identità nazionale, la volontà di lottare per la libertà e contro gli oppressori, la dedizione anche nelle missioni impossibili. Witold Pilecki rappresenta nella storia del Novecento un fulgido esempio di dedizione: ufficiale polacco della riserva, accetta nel settembre 1940 di farsi arrestare per raccogliere informazioni sul campo di Auschwitz. Il suo rapporto dall'inferno è minuzioso, dettagliato, così sconvolgente da non essere creduto dagli Alleati. Evaso dalla prigionia, Pilecki lotta ancora: prima a Varsavia contro i tedeschi, poi contro i sovietici che hanno ricreato la Polonia come satellite ubbidiente. Sino all'estremo sacrificio personale, alla damnatio memoriae durante il regime e alla riscoperta negli anni '90.
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.

Don and Tom react to the gold-pushing radio show that replaced Talking Real Money, breaking down misleading claims about gold investing, TSP accounts, and “tax-free” gold IRAs while exposing the fear-based marketing behind precious metals sales. They contrast long-term investing with speculation, discuss Jamie Dimon comments taken wildly out of context, and explain why gold's recent surge says little about the future. Listener questions then shift the conversation toward international diversification, currency risk, sector tilts, Warren Buffett's investing philosophy, and the dangers of overly aggressive retirement portfolios.0:05 TRM celebrates escaping radio before being replaced by a gold-selling show0:41 Listening to “Striking Gold” and Jamie Dimon's gold comments taken out of context2:05 Gold sales commissions and fear-driven retirement marketing3:12 Gold's recent run versus long-term stock market returns4:18 Debunking claims that TSP assets are endangered by USPS finances5:30 Why fear and instability have driven gold prices higher lately5:55 Gold's massive decline from 1980 through 20007:07 Problems with comparing physical gold to cash savings7:38 Misleading claims about tax-free gold IRA withdrawals9:04 Gold IRA marketing tricks and Roth IRA confusion9:57 States stockpiling gold and why it may be a bad long-term idea10:30 Prepper logic: why ammo and canned food matter more than gold11:30 The economics behind nationwide gold radio advertising12:28 Listener calls, Auschwitz exhibit voiceover talk, and Chad's international investing question13:39 AVGE, international equities, and whether currency risk matters15:30 Emerging markets, currency swings, and diversification benefits16:15 Japan's lost decades and the importance of global diversification17:37 Why AVGE is a strong long-term diversified fund18:07 Why multinational U.S. companies are not true international diversification19:28 Robert asks about sector tilts and Warren Buffett underweighting financials20:46 Why sector overweighting lacks strong evidence21:32 The factors that actually have long-term data behind them22:52 Buffett's advice for regular investors versus Berkshire's strategy24:05 Francisco's $1.5 million retirement portfolio reviewed25:34 Concerns about low bond exposure and large-cap concentration27:12 Bond funds versus CD ladders and the real role of fixed income28:02 Problems with dividend-heavy retirement income portfolios28:50 “Hodgepodgey” portfolio construction and balancing risk29:05 Using the TRM risk quiz to evaluate stock/bond allocation30:04 Free fiduciary portfolio reviews from Appella advisors30:27 Tom jokes about putting gold in his least favorite brother's portfolioQuestions?

Many a male Amis reader owes his smoking habit to the author.The novelist Kevin Power is one who thought he'd quit for good, until he spotted Amis and Isabel Fonseca walking on the grounds of Ireland's prestigious Borris House Festival of Writing and Ideas.Peeling off from his friends, Power sidled up and asked Amis for a lighter. Amis obliged and handed Power a thumb-sized Bic, shortly after which Power became aware that the success of this move had emboldened his cohort to form a crowd around a once discreet scene.The opportunity to speak to Amis one-on-one came again later that weekend, but as Kevin explains on the episode, he has always thought of Amis both as "a prose presence" and "a friend" to the reader, and as such, there is little more one can hope to gain from having met Amis than is permenantly there for them in his writing.Amis is unique among novelists in this sense. Even when you listen to his interviews, what you often hear are lines Amis had committed to print somewhere for posterity. Everything he ever wanted to tell us, he told us.This episode deals with Power's chosen novel, Time's Arrow, which was short-listed for the 1991 Booker Prize, and which Power says uses Amis's "full suite of talents" to portray the atrocities of Auschwitz in reverse, both to darkly comic and deeply moving effect. Frequently overlooked in favour of Amis's trifecta of thick London novels, the slender Time's Arrow is nonetheless one of Amis's most mysterious and morally complex achievements.FOLLOW US ON X: @mymartinamisYOUTUBE: @mymartinamispod Hosted on Acast.

When we talk about the Holocaust, most of us immediately think of death camps like Auschwitz or Dachau, chilling symbols of the Nazis' “Final Solution”. But before they reached that level of industrialised brutality, the Nazis explored other ways to remove Jews from Europe. One plan, both absurd and terrifying, was to send all Jews to the distant island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. How on earth did the Germans come up with that idea? What happened for the plan to take off in 1940? Why didn't it happen then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

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.

What if the way we've been taught to read the Bible is missing something essential? In this episode, Sebastiaan Van Wessem shares his journey from traditional church growth thinking into a deeper rediscovery of Scripture's Jewish foundation. What began as personal tension turned into a theological shift that reframed everything. At the center of that shift is a concept called restorationism - the idea that God's plan has always been to restore Israel, the nations, and ultimately all of creation. This conversation invites listeners to step into a bigger story - one that connects Genesis to Revelation and challenges how we understand the Gospel itself. Key Takeaways The Gospel is more than personal salvation - it's about restoration of all things The book of Acts reveals a pattern of restoration, not just mission strategy Israel's role in Scripture is central, not optional Replacement theology continues to shape modern thinking The early believers understood the Gospel within a Jewish framework The “one new man” requires humility and theological recalibration Restoration begins now, not just in the future Chapter Markers 00:00 – Introduction and background 02:00 – The catalyst for questioning long-held beliefs 06:00 – Rediscovering the Jewish roots of Scripture 10:00 – The influence of Michael Heiser and shifting theology 14:00 – Auschwitz, history, and theological weight 18:00 – What is restorationism? 22:00 – The book of Acts as a restoration blueprint 28:00 – Israel, the nations, and the Gospel 34:00 – One new man and the challenge of unity 42:00 – Overcoming replacement theology 50:00 – Practical steps toward reconciliation 57:00 – Final reflections and future hope If this conversation stirred something in you, don't leave it there. Visit https://thejewishroad.com for more conversations that reconnect Scripture, Israel, and the bigger story of the Gospel. To learn more about Sebastiaan Van Wessem's work, you can explore his book All Things Restored - available on Amazon - and connect with his ministry through https://kngdmalliance.org, where you'll also find details about upcoming gatherings in Europe.

From the Inside Out: With Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein
Send us Fan MailDr. Edith Eger: Holocaust Survivor on Choice, Freedom, and Healing From the Inside OutIn this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky & Eda Schottenstein, we're re-releasing an early, cherished interview after Dr. Edith Eger's death, honoring the Auschwitz survivor, psychoanalyst, and author of The Choice, who taught that while we can't control circumstances, we can choose our response. Eger recounts liberation after being left for dead, the loss of her parents and first love, guilt about her mother's death, and how returning to Auschwitz helped her forgive herself. She discusses Viktor Frankl's influence, finding purpose, sharing rather than hoarding, and distinguishing distress from stress. Eger offers guidance on self-love as self-care, expression as an antidote to depression, revisiting trauma, responding instead of reacting, compassionate listening with children, and building relationships through responsibility, growth, and hope, insisting hate keeps us imprisoned and that love is shown through actions.00:00 Tribute to Edith02:11 Meeting Edith Again02:30 Liberation and Legacy03:53 Frankl and Purpose05:19 Dancing to Survive05:54 First Love Lost07:27 Rescued from Death08:10 Joy and Growth Mindset11:35 Guilt and Forgiveness12:17 Faith and Sharing Bread14:57 Have Tos and Hope17:30 New Books and Recipes19:24 Wisdom and Self Love21:02 Secrets and Expression21:46 Kind Words Only22:48 Choices After Trauma23:40 Speak Your Truth24:55 Evolving Beyond Fear27:08 Mind Freedom in Auschwitz29:57 Forgiveness and Freedom31:06 Validate Feelings at Home34:45 Marriage Lessons Twice37:41 Respond Don't React39:45 Legacy and Final YesesCOMMUNITYJoin the Community!

After the horrors of Auschwitz, Elie Wiesel lost his faith. “Where were you, God of kindness?” he asked, recalling the evil he and others suffered. “In my childhood I did not expect much from human beings. But I expected everything from you.” And yet, Wiesel realized later that his faith had never really left him. “It is because I believed in God that I was angry at God,” he told a journalist, “and still am.” You don’t get angry at someone you don’t believe exists. We might feel uncomfortable expressing anger at God, but biblical characters did. “You deceived me, Lord” Jeremiah cried (20:7). “Will you forget me forever?” David wrote (Psalm 13:1). “God has wronged me,” Job said (19:6). Unaware of Satan’s role in his misfortune, Job accused God of being cruel (10:3) and even subpoenaed Him to court (31:35)! While Job later discovered that his understanding was limited (42:3), it’s important to note God never rebukes his feelings. Despite his questions, Elie Wiesel prayed, “Let us make up. It is unbearable to be divorced from you so long.” We too might be angry at God for not limiting the suffering in our world, but our expressing it to Him can become prayer in disguise—keeping us close to the God who wants us to bring not just our praise, but our anger to Him too.
“Everybody's dead. Don't ask me about anybody. Everybody's dead.” This is the story of the Final Solution. From Anne Frank's annex to countless ghettos, Jews who have thus far avoided the concentration camps are increasingly being funneled there. Jewish leaders like Chaim Rumkowski face impossible dilemmas—who should be sent to the camps? On the other hand, some Warsaw Ghetto inhabitants choose to fight back, their last ditch efforts to resist and escape living on in the words of only a few survivors. Even as the ghettos and their inhabitants are liquidated, Dr. Josef Mengele and others at Auschwitz continue their own work of death. We'll witness, in order, how people go from cramped cattle car to crematoria; and keep in mind, Auschwitz is but one of many. All together, these accounts from survivors will hopefully provide as complete an overview of the Holocaust's extermination camps as one episode can. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Before the war, Oświęcim was a town inhabited mainly by Poles and Jews. During the Second World War it was annexed to Germany and the name of the town was changedto Auschwitz. At the end of 1939 the town had a population of over 12,500 people, about half of whom were Jews. Near Oświęcim there were several villages, which in December of 1939 were incorporated into the German administrative unitof Stadtbezirk Auschwitz. About 13,000 people lived in thesevillages. Due to the establishment and expansion of the Auschwitz camp, several thousand Polish and Jewish residents of Oświęcim and nearby villages were forced to leave their homes. In the “On Auschwitz” podcast, we share fragments oftestimonies from witnesses and their relatives about these events.=====The podcast features material from the collections of:The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum Archives:- account by Zofia Przybyłowska- account by Piotr Bielenin- account by Marian Górnicki- account by Sylwester Szałaśny- account by Krystyna Szałaśny- account by Sabina Rosenbach (transcribed, read by a narrator)- account by Helena Mataniak (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Helena Hoła (written down, read by a narrator)Museum of Remembrance of the Residents of the Oświęcim Region:- account by Helena Grzesło- account by Aleksander Karkoszka- account by Józefa Handzlik- account by Wanda Saternus- account by Maria Gawron- account by Janina Stawowy- account by Wanda Patyna- account by Henryk Kuczek- account by Maria Jurczyk- account by Tadeusz FirczykJewish Museum in Oświęcim:- account by Abraham and Jerzy Feiner- account by Lola BodnerThe Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw:- account by Ewa Neiger (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Sylwia Bachner (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Anna Hönig (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Tauba Grünn (written down, read by a narrator)

Don also explains why FAFSA tricks with traditional IRA contributions don't work, how to control capital gains taxes using specific share identification, and—somehow—confirms he was the voice behind a powerful Auschwitz exhibit.

“The procedure is a pretty barbaric one and not to be described here more definitively. Not much will remain of the Jews.” —Joseph Goebbels This is the story of how the Holocaust becomes industrialized. In January 1942, Nazi leaders discuss what will become the “Final Solution”: their plan to murder millions. As more and more Jews are stripped of everything and forced into ghettos, and terrified parents bid a tearful (and often final) farewell to their children, German leaders decide how to deal with the fact that the new territory they've acquired is full of Jews and other “undesirables.” As the Nazis march through Europe, they'll “evacuate” the continent's Jews sending them to overcrowded disease-ridden ghettos, then to concentration camps. Initially, mobile killing units, or Einsatzgruppen, simply shoot Jews where they stand. This practice will give way to extermination camps, as one camp in particular—Auschwitz—is figuring out how to use gas to kill on a truly industrial level. After years of building, the Holocaust is in full swing. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
