A Catholic school in Pennsylvania put the words "Arbeit Macht Frei"—the infamous phrase from the Auschwitz gate—on the back of its Halloween float. Frank and Dan try to understand how something this shocking made it through so many adults without anyone realizing what it meant, and what it says about religious education and historical ignorance. Also this week: a "family values" lawmaker caught up in the Ashley Madison data leak, ICE detains an Episcopal priest who's legally in the U.S., and the Pope shuts down the "Mary as co-redemptrix" movement. Plus, Bangladesh clerics push to ban music in schools, and churches fail a TikTok test on helping hungry families. Finally, the guys talk about the outrage over New York City's new Muslim mayor, why so many people equate "Muslim" with "terrorist," and what that says about the fear that still drives American religion.

During today's Journalist Roundtable we look more in-depth on some stories that have flown under the radar. We're joined by Katie Meyer and Ed Mahon of Spotlight PA, the online statewide news service, and Brett Sholtis, who reports for the Philadelphia Inquirer. All three are veterans of WITF's newsroom. Also, after a float depicting the gate to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz appeared in the Hanover Halloween parade, we're looking at the shortcomings of Holocaust education. Boaz Dvir has a personal connection to the Holocaust but also works with educators to teach about the holocaust and other uncomfortable subjects. He is also the founding director of the Holocaust Genocide and Human Rights Education Initiative at Penn State University.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anne Frank is one of the most widely read authors in history, although she did not live to see the publication of her book. Anne was a German teenager who happened to be Jewish as well. She and her family spent 2 years in seclusion in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne's diary describes the horrors of hiding from the Nazis - before eventually being sent to concentration camps. The Wannsee Conference was a clandestine meeting of Nazi leaders in 1942 to outline the systematic murder of Jews in Europe which became known as the Holocaust. 

Jennifer Khakshouri, Nina Kunz, Milo Rau und die Ärztin und Schauspielerin Natalia Conde diskutieren über «Organisch» von Giulia Enders, «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» von Peter Stamm, «ë» von Jehona Kicaj, «Eine Familie in Brüssel» von Chantal Akerman sowie über «Herscht 07769» von László Krasznahorkai. «Darm mit Charme» heisst der Bestseller, mit dem Giulia Enders noch als Medizinstudentin den Darm aus der Scham-Ecke befreit hat, witzig und wissenschaftlich fundiert. Nun – als promovierte Ärztin – legt sie mit «Organisch» in ihrem unverwechselbaren Stil nach: Die Lunge etwa vergleicht sie mit ihrer Urgrossmutter. Sie will, dass wir den Körper nicht länger als eine Art Maschine betrachten, sondern als lebendiges Ganzes. Der Schweizer Schriftsteller Peter Stamm umreisst in wenigen Worten ganze Leben. «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» heisst sein neuer Erzählband, in dem er Unspektakuläres spektakulär schildert. Ganz gewöhnliche Menschen am Wendepunkt. Einsame Menschen in der digitalen Welt. Die Figuren sind nahbar, beschrieben in knapper, klarer Sprache. Der Debutroman «ë» von Jehona Kicaj ist ein starkes Beispiel literarischer Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Seine Protagonistin ist mit ihren Eltern Ende der 1990er-Jahre aus dem Kosovokrieg nach Deutschland geflohen. Jetzt knirscht sie mit den Zähnen – so stark, dass ihre Zähne splittern. Das Schweigen fordert seinen Tribut. Der Roman führt vor Augen, wie wenig in Mitteleuropa über diesen Krieg Ende der 1990er-Jahre bekannt ist. «Eine Familie in Brüssel» ist ein Buch von Chantal Akerman, die vor allem als Filmemacherin berühmt war. Eine alte Frau berichtet darin in erlebter Rede über ihre Familie, die über die ganze Welt verstreut ist. Eine Familie, in der man kaum miteinander spricht, weil es Dinge gibt, die nicht berührt werden dürfen. Der atemlose Text ist auch eine Hommage an ihre eigene Mutter, die das Konzentrationslager von Auschwitz überlebte. László Krasznahorkai ist der diesjährige Nobelpreisträger. In seinen Werken beschreibt er regelmässig den Einbruch des Schreckens und der Gewalt in eine geschlossene Welt. Sein skurriler Roman «Herscht 07769» spielt in einer von Neonazis terrorisierten Kleinstadt im ostdeutschen Thüringen. Ein Gebäudereiniger sorgt sich um das drohende Weltende und wendet sich in verzweifelten Briefen an Angela Merkel.

Algunos hablan como si no estuvieran sujetos a ninguna autoridad, pero como cantaba Bob Dylan en 1979, siempre "tienes que servir a alguien". "Puede ser a Dios", como dice el Premio Nobel de Literatura, ¿pero qué debemos a Él y qué al César, según las conocidas palabras de Jesús (Mateo 22:21)? Pedro nos da la respuesta en el juicio al que son sometidos los primeros cristianos ante la autoridades judías, cuando dice que: "es necesario obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres" (Hechos 5:29). Los seguidores de Jesús entienden que han de "ir y predicar el Evangelio" (Go Preach My Gospel / Mateo 16:15), como dice Marion Williams (1927-1994), la cantante de góspel de Miami que tuvo una larga carrera en solitario, después de comenzar en la posguerra con las Ward Singers y las Stars of Faith. El también fallecido Michael Been (1950-2010), muerto de un ataque al corazón cuando trabajaba de técnico de sonido en un festival de música en Bélgica, tenía también una impresionante voz, que unida a una ferviente fe, hacía de The Call uno de los grupos más singulares de los 80. Como aquellos primeros cristianos, Been se sentía: "`perseguido / por una multitud furiosa / que quería quitar de mi corazón / mi amor por Dios" (Incluso ahora / Even Now 1986). Como Dylan en el 79 veía cómo: "me desprecian y me miran mal / no me quieren alrededor suyo / porque creo en Ti". La también prontamente fallecida cantante irlandesa Sinéad O´Connor hace suyas sus palabras en 1994. El importante cineasta alemán Volker Schlondorff vuelve al tema del nazismo en 2004 con "El noveno día", pero con una perspectiva insólita: la verdadera historia de un religioso católico de Luxemburgo, liberado del campo de Dachau para intentar convencer a su obispo de la obligación de respetar el gobierno del Tercer Reich. Como siempre, no les desvelamos el final de la película, pero escuchamos los diálogos de las primeras escenas en la versión doblada al castellano. José de Segovia las comenta a la luz del texto de Hechos con el fondo instrumental de la banda sonora original de la película por Alfred Schnitke, la de Diego Navarro para "El fotógrafo de Mauthausen", Mario Schneider para "El Informe Auschwitz" y Hans Zimmer para "El superviviente de Auschwitz". Acabamos el programa con la canción de Dylan que abre el disco con el anuncio de su conversión al cristianismo, "Slow Train Coming" (1979), "Tienes que servir a alguien" (Gotta Serve Somebody). La escuchamos esta vez grabada en vivo, el mismo año de su publicación, cuando la presentó en un concierto en San Francisco, ante el desprecio de sus seguidores, que no entendían su nueva fe. Su rechazo le hizo ver no podía complacer por igual a Dios y a los hombres, como dice Pedro.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian speaks with Audrey Hyams Romoff, a leading PR executive for major global brands and the author of the powerful new memoir, "The Ripple Eclipse: Turning the Tide of Inherited Trauma." Audrey shares her remarkable journey balancing a high-profile career in public relations with the deeply personal legacy of her family's Holocaust survival.In her conversation with Brian, she opens up about her mother's time in Auschwitz, the mysterious deaths of her parents, and how four generations of women have navigated pain, silence, and ultimately healing. Brian and Audrey also explore how her professional life in PR intersects with her mission to foster openness, empathy, and resilience both in her work and within her family. It's an emotional, raw, and inspiring conversation about survival, self-discovery, and strength.

In a cinema in south-west Germany an audience is gathered to watch an Oscar winning film, Zone of Interest, about the life of Rudolf Höss, Commandant of Auschwitz. Those present comprise Jewish people from around the world, and the special guest is Rudolf's grandson. The topic was rarely visited during Kai's childhood. It was only after a school history lesson that Kai began to comprehend Rudolf's role as head of the largest mass murder site in history. Reporter Shiroma Silva travels to his home in Germany to question Kai on his personal struggle. She tracks Kai's outlook today through Christianity, in which he uses his past to look forward and understand the particular place of Jewish people in the Bible. He questions how antisemitism thrived in Christian societies and his grandfather's early life in a devout Catholic family. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world

Twenty years ago, when Ilanit-Michele Woods urged her grandmother Olga Fisch to write down her memoirs of life in Hungary before and after the Holocaust, Woods could never have imagined the journey that manuscript would make. The 75 typed pages, all in Hungarian, sat unread for decades in Montreal, long after Olga died in 2017. The family eventually translated the documents into English at the Montreal Holocaust Museum in the summer of 2023. And because Woods is an award-winning sound editor, with both a BAFTA award and an Emmy nomination on her resume, she turned a microphone toward herself and her mother and recorded hours of tape during trips to Hungary, Poland and Israel, shortly after Oct. 7. The mother-daughter duo explored the places that shaped Olga's remarkable life. As a teenager, Olga had been deported from eastern Hungary to Auschwitz; she was later shipped off to a slave-labour factory, and sent on a death march. They also explored the source of their mother's Holocaust trauma, which they firmly believe has impacted three generations of their family. The long-lost manuscript might eventually become a book. In the meantime, Woods has released a six-part audio podcast entitled Olga, Erika and Me, which launched in Montreal in Sept. 2025. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner is joined by Woods and her mother, Erika Ciment, to discuss how the audio format will enhance the storytelling.

KALMAN & LEOPOLD: SURVIVING MENGELE'S AUSCHWITZ In the shadow of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, Kalman and Leopold— two young boys—meet as unwitting subjects of Josef Mengele's twisted twin experiments. Pulled from their barrack, they are forced to become servants to the SS guards within Mengele's "hospital" camp, bearing daily witness to scenes of obscene viciousness. Within this nightmarish hell Leopold becomes Kalman's guide, helping him to navigate the terrifying complexities of the SS guard shack. Mengele's atrocities are relentless, yet within this darkness a friendship emerges, testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In January 1945, the Russian army liberates Birkenau and the boys part ways. For fifty-six years Kalman searches tirelessly for his friend and protector, driven by the memory of a boy he knew only by a nickname he had given him: Lipa. Their story is a reminder of the depths of human immorality, and it is a testament to friendship, faith, and survival against all odds. As intolerance and hate intensify in the world, Kalman and Leopold's voices echo across generations, urging us to remember the horrors of fascism so that history's darkest moments remain in the past. Never again! TOPICS OF CONVERSATION About Kalman & Leopold: Teenage twins who survived Mengele's Auschwitz experiments. Reunited After 56 Years: A chance TV sighting leads to an emotional reconnection. Their Words, Their Voices: 20 hours of raw interviews told exactly as they spoke them. Inside the Guard Shack: A chilling, firsthand look at life beside Mengele's hospital camp. More Than Survival: A story of resilience, decency, dignity, and moral courage.

Meld je nu aan voor ons live-event op vrijdag 21 november in Utrecht, via centre-erasme.nl/eventDe wereld staat in veel opzichten in de fik. We hebben te maken met razendsnel veranderend klimaat – in ecologische, maatschappelijke, politieke en geopolitieke zin. Al deze ellende kan voor een onrust zorgen in je persoonlijke leven. Het slechte nieuws buitelt over je heen, de onzekerheid is groot. Hoe hou je je te midden van al dat geweld staande? Hoe zorg je dat er ruimte blijft voor je eigen persoonlijke ontwikkeling? Moet je je afsluiten voor alles wat er om je heen gebeurt? Of moet je je nu juist radicaal engageren met de wereld? “Wanneer men de kracht voor de kleine dingen heeft, heeft men ze ook voor de grote,” schreef Etty Hillesum. Zij leefde als Joodse vrouw in de Tweede Wereldoorlog en werd op 29-jarige leeftijd vermoord in Auschwitz. In haar brieven en dagboeken lezen we over haar zoektocht naar persoonlijke groei en verbinding met de wereld, en tegelijk spelen op de achtergrond alle gruwelijkheden van het nazisme zich af. In deze aflevering van de Podcast Filosofie kijken we naar het innerlijk leven en de buitenwereld door de bril van Etty Hillesum. Dat doen we in samenwerking met het Titus Brandsma Instituut en stichting Socires. Samen met Inigo Bocken ontvangt Allard Amelink in deze aflevering Ria van den Brandt. Zij is als onderzoeker en supervisor werkzaam aan de Faculteit der Filosofie, Theologie en Religiewetenschappen van de Radboud Universiteit.

It was a bargain with the devil they couldn't refuse. A group of women prisoners in Auschwitz were offered a slim chance at survival in exchange for playing music. They played as inmates got off the trains. They played as prisoners marched for roll call. They played as ash from the crematoriums rained down on them. Historian and biographer Anne Sebba tells the story of the only female orchestra in the camps, exploring not only the moral dilemmas they faced, but the impact their music had on other prisoners. Anne Sebba is on tour around New Zealand to talk about her new book, The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz: A story of survival. She joins Jesse in our Auckland studio.

A stolen painting. A survivor's courage. A thief's redemption. Betsy and author Bill Frisco explore how truth and love can outlast hate and history.In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with Bill Frisco, author of Every Day Is Like Sunday: The Silent Re-Looting of Art Stolen by the Nazis. Their heartfelt conversation explores how a chance meeting at the Jersey Shore in 1985 inspired a story of stolen Jewish artwork, justice, and redemption.Betsy and Bill dive into the heart of Every Day Is Like Sunday, a gripping tale that follows a stolen painting and the people forever changed by its history. Though written as historical fiction on his attorney's advice, Bill explains that real events appear throughout—blending fact and imagination to reveal timeless truths about conscience and courage. Listeners meet Roy Kean, a skilled thief, and Lily Braun, a Holocaust survivor determined to reclaim her murdered family's stolen art. Roy, moved by Lily's faith and bravery, risks everything to right a decades-old wrong.Together, they embody the struggle to confront the past and restore dignity to lives shattered by hatred. Bill shares how visiting Auschwitz during his research transformed his perspective and strengthened his commitment to honoring truth through storytelling. Betsy calls the book a page-turner that unites history, emotion, and moral reflection. As a Jewish-Christian, she found Lily's strength deeply personal—an enduring reminder of resilience and the human spirit.

This week, we learn all about the new film Triumph of the Heart, which tells the story of the martyrdom of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Auschwitz. We also hear about the new Religious Freedom Report, and we meet singer/songwriter Mary-Grace Therese who has just released her debut album, Mend.

Decades after the war, people from around the world still visit Auschwitz, a solemn place of remembrance for those who perished there. But imagine walking through it alongside the grandson of its ruthless commandant, Rudolf Höss. And what if your father was Martin Bormann, one of Hitler's closest confidants and a key architect of the Holocaust? Join Gary Kent as he explores the heartbreaking stories of the children of Nazi leaders, those who grew up carrying a burden of guilt that was never theirs. Through their experiences, we are invited to reflect on the legacies we inherit and the ones we leave behind.

Fania Fainer's friends risked their lives to celebrate her 20th birthday in a forced labour factory in Auschwitz, fashioning a tiny ersatz cake along with a folded paper greeting card shaped like a heart. Decades later, she was living in Toronto when she decided to donate it to the Montreal Holocaust Museum to further the cause of Holocaust education. Her origami heart was also featured in the recent Auschwitz exhibition at Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum. Fainer is one of the prominent members of Canada's Jewish community who passed away recently. Just ahead of Holocaust Education Week, The CJN's _North Star _podcast is paying tribute to her and to other community leaders as part of our recurring series, “Honourable Menschen”. On today's episode, host Ellin Bessner is joined by The CJN's obituary columnist, Heather Ringel, to share the stories of Fainer and: Cantor Ben Maissner, who served at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto for 40 years; Carole Grafstein, who helped found the Canadian Women Against Antisemitism group after Oct. 7 and raised millions for many charities as a member of the Toronto Glitter Girls; Montreal's Sid Stevens, who co-founded the Sun Youth organization; and Ben Schlesinger, a child Holocaust survivor who transformed his trauma into a career in social work.

Interview recorded in Great Falls, Virginia.     Linda Ambrus Broenniman’s Bio:Linda Ambrus Broenniman grew up in Buffalo, New York, as the middle child of seven born to Catholic Hungarian physicians who survived World War II and began a new life in the United States in 1949. After earning her BA in Psychology from Swarthmore College and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University, Linda left corporate America to pursue her passion for entrepreneurship, founding companies in technology and biotechnology. Her curiosity and drive to uncover hidden potential led her on a personal quest to uncover her own hidden family history. Through years of research, Linda pieced together the remarkable story of her Jewish ancestors—the Politzer family—and their lives lost to her father’s silence. Her book, The Politzer Saga, brings their stories to life and forms the foundation of The Politzer Saga Exhibit, a permanent exhibition housed in the newly renovated Rumbach Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary. Linda lives in Great Falls, Virginia with her husband, Ed, of 30 years.     Connect with Linda Ambrus Broenniman:

This week, the boys dive deep into Heinrich Himmler's deranged Ahnenerbe - the SS's “research institute” dedicated to proving Aryan supremacy through archaeology, mythology, and pure pseudoscience. From Karl Wiligut, the self-proclaimed prophet of Nazi meth, to Hans Hörbiger's absurd “World Ice Theory,” we take a look at how crackpot archaeology, stolen children, and state-sanctioned madness fueled the SS's occult obsession - and set the stage for the unimaginable horrors to come.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore the demonic powers revealed in Exodus as the plagues close in on Pharaoh's Egypt. Al and Zach recall their visit to Auschwitz, where they both felt a chilling, decades-old evil that seemed to confirm the spiritual realities Scripture describes. Back home, John Luke faces his own “plague of biblical proportions,” though his version is admittedly more mundane than the ones that befell Egypt. The guys reflect on why God revealed His name as Yahweh, what that name means for believers today, and how our hearts must be positioned before we can truly enter His presence.

Short English Summary : In this episode, Noriko talks about negative heritage/negative legacy - sites that preserve tragic history, such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Auschwitz. Why do we keep these painful memories? To forget, or to remember? She shares her own experiences and invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of preserving dark heritage.Takeaways負の遺産は悲しい歴史を伝える場所である。世界遺産には美しい自然や歴史的な文化価値がある場所だけでなく、負の遺産も含まれる。広島の原爆ドームはその一例である。過去の悲劇を忘れないために、歴史的な場所を残す意義がある。教育目的で訪れることが重要である。人間の判断ミスが引き起こした災害について考える必要がある。悲しい歴史を学ぶことは未来にとって重要である。

In this double interview I talked to Michael Kinnamon, author of A Rooftop in Jerusalem and Philip Graubart author of Here There Is No Why. A Rooftop In Jerusalem: When Daniel Jacobs decides to spend his junior year abroad in Israel, he never dreams he'll fall in love with both Jerusalem's Old City and an Israeli woman, Shoshana. It's the year religion becomes a part of his identity, from the heights of a simple rooftop. A year he encounters the tragic complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. A year that begins a four-decade-long love affair, as complicated and heartbreaking as the political conflict with which it's intertwined. As Daniel moves through life-through marriage and divorce, career and travel-he returns periodically to Jerusalem, where his heart faithfully remains. A Rooftop in Jerusalem brings the Old City's walls, holy sites, and inhabitants to life, while putting a human face on headlines from the Middle East. Here There Is No Why: Did Chaim Lerner, acclaimed Israeli author and Holocaust survivor, kill himself in 1983, thirty-eight years after surviving Auschwitz? If so, was it traumatic memories finally catching up to him? Or despair over Holocaust denialism? Or ordinary, difficult health issues-an aching hip, a damaged knee? Or simply a deadly episode of depression? Or was it murder? In 2005, Judah Loeb, Lerner's former student and now a struggling American journalist and single father, travels to Jerusalem to investigate Lerner's death. He drags along his fifteen-year-old daughter, Hannah, and they team up with Charlie, Judah's former Hebrew University roommate, now a Jerusalem homicide detective. Their investigation takes them through the darker corners of the Israeli psyche, where they uncover secrets that threaten to destroy Lerner's reputation and alter Jewish history. While probing the mysteries of Israel's past, they encounter personal betrayal, heartbreak, and the fragile possibilities of forgiveness and redemption.

In the summer of 1960, all eyes are on Israel. As the Jewish nation unveils its capture of Adolf Eichmann to the world, a bitter controversy swirls around the notorious SS officer. Eichmann's lawyer, Dr. Robert Servatius, scrambles to cobble together a defense strategy and save his client from the noose. In Jerusalem, journalist and scholar Hannah Arendt wrestles with questions about the nature of evil.    SOURCES: Aharoni, Zvi. Dietl, Wilhelm.

“Man is divided within himself.”  So says the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes.  Sins – original sin, the sins of others, and your own personal sins lead to your inner fragmentation and the obscuring of your conscience.  What is your conscience?  Where is your conscience within you?  What does Vatican II say about IFS concepts?  How did St. Maximilian Kolbe live sacrificial love in Auschwitz with interior integration, inner unity?  And what does Vatican II say about psychology and the social sciences?  Dr. Gerry Crete joins me for a wide-ranging discussion of these questions and so much more.  

By January 1945, the war in Europe neared its final phase. In the west, the Allies had repelled the Ardennes offensive. In the east, the Red Army prepared the Vistula–Oder offensive, a huge strike that pushed German forces out of Poland. The Soviet advance carried them to the very gates of Berlin. The Vistula–Oder offensive in 1945 liberated vast areas, including Auschwitz. It also created the springboard for the final assault on Germany. Stalin wanted more than battlefield victory. He pushed Soviet borders west, reclaimed imperial lands, and shaped Poland's fate before the war ended. The Wehrmacht resisted fiercely. German forces launched a desperate counterattack, their last major armoured offensive on the Eastern Front. In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, I talk with Prit Buttar, author of Into the Reich: The Red Army's Advance to the Oder in 1945.   patreon.com/ww2podcast    

In this episode, we conclude our series by reflecting on the sorrowful and glorious mysteries of our lives. In the midst of our own sorrows, we talk about the mortification of authentic love, what it means to carry our cross, and how to be patient when a particular suffering seems endless. We also share the glorious ways God is working in our lives. From the beauty of color to raising our expectations in faith, we ponder how Jesus' presence in the sufferings of our lives often restores us more deeply than if He simply just healed our pain.    Heather's One Thing - First Reconciliation and Beyond by Katie Prejean McGrady Heather's Other One Thing - Show Me Your Glory by Brandon Lake Sister Miriam's One Thing - Discerning Hearts Podcast with Fr.

In this school of Mary, we learn to ‘read' Christ, to discover his secrets, to understand his message.” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae, St. Pope John Paul II)   Scripture for Lectio: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)   Sponsor - Triumph of the Heart: Triumph of the Heart is an award-winning film that tells one of the most astounding stories of world war II - when a Polish priest, imprisoned in Auschwitz, volunteered to take the place of a condemned man.  When faced with a truly apocalyptic war, St. Maximilian Kolbe showed us that Christian love can conquer the deepest horrors of the human condition. In the face of unimaginable suffering, Kolbe didn't retreat—he stepped forward, offering his life to save another. This film, about the passion of St. Maximilian Kolbe, is the most compelling look ever into both the horror and heroism that was to be found in a Nazi death camp. Audiences have already been deeply moved by the light of hope shining forth from the darkest place on earth. Triumph of the Heart is now showing in select theaters throughout the United States. Go to KolbeMovie.com to find out how you can get tickets to a masterpiece destined to become an enduring film classic.
