The economic realities of a failing war in the east accelerated the timetable for genocide at the highest levels of the Third Reich, but in July 1942 Heinrich Himmler also intended Auschwitz Birkenau to be a site for extracting slave labour from prisoners. He intended this because of the impeding economic and production crises that would engulf the Third Reich as it faced an alliance of America, the USSR and the British Empire. This podcast episode explores the intentions of the SS leader and of Hitler and how they were translated into brutal reality in the summer of 1942. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Le 24 octobre 1942, le jeune Hanus Hachenburg, né à Prague, est déporté, à une cinquantaine de kilomètres, dans ville-forteresse de Terezin, transformée en ghetto et en camp de transit et de concentration nazi. Conçue pour 6 000 habitants, elle abrite, à cette époque, plus de 50 000 Juifs. Hanus intègre la chambrée n° 1, en compagnie d'une quarantaine d'autres enfants. C'est là que naît la « République de ŠKID », une sorte de régime autogéré par ces enfants-adolescents. Une République doté d'un gouvernement, d'une Constitution et de comités. Le cœur de cette « création » est un journal dans lequel les contributeurs peuvent exprimer leur ressenti. Ils débattent, ils dessinent, ils se moquent dans tous les styles littéraires. Hanus y fait paraître ses poèmes mais aussi des essais philosophiques, des chroniques décrivant la vie quotidienne du ghetto. Et aussi une pièce de théâtre pour marionnettes. Le 18 décembre 1943, l'adolescent est transféré au camp d'Auschwitz-Birkenau. Deux jours après son anniversaire, le 12 juillet, Hanus Hachenburg est assassiné. Il venait d'avoir quinze ans.

Herzlich willkommen zu Appel und Oranje. Ich begrüße Sie zu einem guten Gespräch mit Oranienburger Schülern verschiedener weiterführender Schulen. Gerade sind wir in Krakau in Polen. Mit etwa 100 Schülern haben wir die Gedenkstätte Auschwitz-Birkenau besucht. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass wir zusammen diese schwierige Reise angetreten sind. Darüber wollen wir heute berichten. Ich danke euch und freue mich auf unser Gespräch.

Kljub vsemu rečem življenju daPsiholog, ki je preživel štiri nacistična koncentracijska taborišča. Theresienstadt oziroma Terezin severno od Prage, Auschwitz Birkenau zahodno od Krakova in Kaufering ter Türkheim zahodno od Münchna: od 1942 do 1945. To je izkušnja, ki je neizbrisno zaznamovala osebno in poklicno pot enega od velikanov 20. stoletja – nevrologa, psihiatra in psihologa Viktorja Frankla. Brez njega ne bi bilo psihologije, kakršno poznamo danes. Na Dunaju je po Freudu in Adlerju ustanovil tretjo psihoterapevtsko šolo. V zgodovino se je zapisal kot začetnik eksistencialne analize in logoterapije, ki je osredotočena na reševanje človekovih težav in stisk skozi izvirno človeško razsežnost svobode, odgovornosti in volje do smisla. Viktor Frankl je v enem od svojih del napisal, da je prav človekovo iskanje smisla prvobitna življenjska sila. O življenju in delu izjemnega Viktorja Frankla v oddaji Glasovi svetov s teologom in logoterapevtom Martinom Liscem. Foto: Prof. dr. Franz Vesely

At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp—mainly Jewish women and girls—were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. This fashion workshop—called the Upper Tailoring Studio—was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant's wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin's upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources—including interviews with the last surviving seamstress—The Dressmakers of Auschwitz (Harper Collins, 2021) follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers' remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

How is this Passover different from all other Passovers? How is the seder we are doing tonight different from all the other seders we have ever done? Let me share a recent conversation I had with a good friend.We have a beloved member of our shul whose mother was born in Londorf, Germany. She was taken with all the other Jews of Londorf to Auschwitz. She was the only survivor from her town. Every other Jew of Londorf perished in Auschwitz. But his mother would go on to survive and thrive, to live a beautiful, joyful life and to build a family with generations of love. Auschwitz was liberated on January 27, 1945. Which meant that this past January 27, 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. He and his wife went to Auschwitz-Birkenau for the occasion, where they recited Kaddish for all those who perished. And it turns out that that very day was also his own mother's yahrtzeit. Their words of Kaddish were filled with multiple meanings.I was talking to him about the unreal intensity of this experience, and he asked me a question that I had never thought about before. He asked: Can you imagine the Jewish story without suffering? A Jewish history without hatred? My initial response was no: The suffering comes with our story. As we say in the Haggadah, b'chol dor v'dor omdim aleinu l'chaloteinu, in every generation, our enemies will arise to try to destroy us.

Sir Simon Schama is one of the world's leading historians, a bestselling author and a renowned documentary maker. In his latest documentary film, The Road to Auschwitz, he tells the story of the Holocaust, arguing that it was a crime of complicity across Europe. In this episode, Simon explains to David Musgrove what it was like to visit the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau for the first time, and how deep-rooted prejudice was weaponised to turn people against their Jewish neighbours before the Nazis put their genocidal plans in place.

Avec une nouvelle émission chaque semaine : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Écrivaine et réalisatrice de documentaires sur la Shoah, Chochana Boukhobza a enquêté durant sept ans sur la déportation des femmes à Auschwitz-Birkenau, créé en mars 1942. Longtemps, leur internement dans ce camp s'est confondu avec celui, tout aussi tragique, des hommes. S'appuyant sur les témoignages des survivantes et à partir des minutes des procès des SS de l'après-guerre, l'auteure reconstitue l'organisation spécifique de Birkenau et redonne vie, dans un récit choral, aux prisonnières venues de toute l'Europe occupée. Pour l'essentiel juives, elles sont aussi catholiques, protestantes, agnostiques ou encore tziganes ; certaines d'entre elles ont été arrêtées pour des faits de Résistance, mais la plupart ne savaient pas ce qui les attendait. Toutes celles qui ont échappé à l'extermination seront soumises à un travail forcé implacable... Passé la sidération, des réactions se font jour contre le système carcéral, bureaucratique et criminel qui les écrase. Comme ces secrétaires, par exemple, qui tentèrent de sauver des femmes du gazage ou ces doctoresses qui refusèrent de participer aux expérimentations des médecins SS. Et si un four crématoire a explosé le 7 octobre 1944, ce fut aussi grâce à elles... Dans l'adversité, les femmes d'Auschwitz furent sans défense, mais elles se montrèrent courageuses, audacieuses, héroïques. Ce récit dédié à leur mémoire est un hymne à la solidarité et à la liberté, qui s'exprimèrent envers et contre tout.Chochana Boukhobza était notre invitée, en studio, et en vidéo sur YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KYgs4Pxsjo&t=2533s

“We are cycling away from the gates of death to the gates of life.”Don't miss a powerful episode of Conversations with Alan featuring Robert Desmond, who joins us from Poland.11 years ago, Robert set out on a solo bike ride from London to Auschwitz, determined to honor Holocaust victims and educate others about what intolerance can lead to. Along the way, he formed a profound friendship with Marcel Zielinski, who, as a small child, walked alone and afraid from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Krakow nearly 79 years ago. Marcel's story serves as a powerful reminder of the journey from darkness to light—from leaving Auschwitz scared and alone to the celebration of Jewish life's rebirth in Krakow today.What began as Robert's personal mission grew into Ride for the Living, an annual event uniting hundreds of people from around the world—survivors, supporters, and families—on a symbolic journey from Auschwitz to Krakow. This ride honors the past while celebrating the resilience, survival, and renewal of Jewish life.In our conversation, Robert will share his deeply personal journey and reflect on the profound impact of Ride for the Living, a ride that transformed his life and the lives of so many others. We'll also discuss the urgent need to educate future generations about the Holocaust amid rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial, and how this ride helped inspire the powerful documentary For the Living.Listen to this moving conversation that highlights the journey from darkness to light and the importance of honoring those who came before us while committing to a brighter future.

It consisted of Auschwitz I, the main camp (Stammlager) in Oświęcim; Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a concentration and extermination camp with gas chambers; Auschwitz III-Monowitz, a labour camp for the chemical conglomerate IG Farben; and dozens of subcamps. The camps became a major site of the Nazis' Final Solution to the Jewish question.Marks English History channel linkshttps://www.youtube.com/@marksenglishhistorychannel665/videoshttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076308579947ACW & UK History's Website.https://darrenscivilwarpag8.wixsite.com/acwandukhistoryACW & UK History's Pages.https://linktr.ee/ACWandUKHISTORYSupport the show

El símbolo más reconocido y perdurable del holocausto es el campo de concentración de Auschwitz-Birkenau. Se encontraba ubicado cerca de la ciudad de Oświęcim, en el sur de la Polonia ocupada. Auschwitz comenzó como un simple campo de concentración para encarcelar a prisioneros de guerra. Los alemanes se encontraron en 1939 durante la invasión de Polonia con unos barracones que habían pertenecido en el pasado al ejército austrohúngaro, y los aprovecharon como centro de detención. Pero, dada su ubicación y lo bien conectado que estaba por ferrocarril con el resto de Europa, pronto evolucionó hacia un complejo de exterminio y trabajo esclavo de dimensiones gigantescas. A lo largo de la guerra fue expandiéndose con nuevos campos como el de Birkenau, especializado en las labores de exterminio, y el de Monowitz, creado por las empresa alemana IG Farben para explotar a los reclusos en régimen de trabajo esclavo. En torno a estos tres grandes complejos se extendía una abigarrada red de subcampos. Oficialmente era un campo de trabajo y así fue como nació de manos de las SS en 1940. Para ello los nazis dispusieron en la entrada del más antiguo de todos un arco con un lema que decía "Arbeit macht frei" ("El trabajo libera”). Pero a Auschwitz los prisioneros iban más a morir que a trabajar. Con el avance de la guerra y la adopción de la solución final por parte de las autoridades alemanas, se transformó en la pieza central de la máquina de exterminio nazi. Millones de personas, en su mayor parte judíos, pero también gitanos, prisioneros de guerra polacos y soviéticos, presos políticos, homosexuales y discapacitados, fueron deportados a Auschwitz desde toda la Europa ocupada. Hacinados en vagones de ganado, su inmensa mayoría llegaban a este lugar sin saber el destino que les esperaba. Al bajarse del tren, eran sometidos a una brutal selección: los considerados aptos para el trabajo eran enviados a los campos de trabajo forzado, donde eran explotados hasta la extenuación. Los demás, la gran mayoría, eran conducidos directamente a las cámaras de gas, donde eran asesinados con Zyklon B y luego incinerados en hornos crematorios. Las condiciones de vida en Auschwitz eran inhumanas. Hambre, enfermedades, frío extremo, hacinamiento y trabajos extenuantes eran parte de la rutina diaria. La violencia y la crueldad de los guardias de las SS eran omnipresentes y la muerte acechaba en cada rincón. A pesar del horror cotidiano hubo resistencia y solidaridad dentro de sus muros. Muchos prisioneros arriesgaron su vida para ayudarse mutuamente, organizaron redes para obtener información del exterior, planear fugas y documentar los crímenes que se estaban cometiendo. Las primeras noticias de lo que estaba pasando en Auschwitz llegaron a los aliados en 1942. Se plantearon bombardearlo, pero las urgencias de la guerra y la poca precisión de los bombarderos de la época obligaron a abandonar el plan. Años más tarde, el 27 de enero de 1945, las tropas soviéticas liberaron Auschwitz cuando avanzaban hacia Alemania. No esperaban encontrarse algo así. Se dieron de bruces con miles de prisioneros enfermos y moribundos. Fue entonces cuando el mundo conoció la magnitud del horror: montañas de cadáveres, cámaras de gas, crematorios, testimonios desgarradores de los supervivientes. Auschwitz se convirtió en un símbolo del genocidio y una advertencia sobre los peligros del odio, el racismo y la intolerancia. Hoy en día, Auschwitz es un gran museo al aire libre para que las generaciones futuras no olviden lo que sucedió allí. Los visitantes pueden caminar por los barracones, ver las cámaras de gas y los crematorios que aún permanecen en pie, como un testimonio silencioso de una tragedia que nunca debería volver a repetirse.

Mary and Mike both teach civics/social students; Mary in a New York high school and Mike in a Virginia middle school. In this chapter they talk about what their kids don't know that they should, about the foolishness of banning books, about violence and guns in schools, about the threat of vouchers to public education, teaching to the test, and other controversial school issues. Our speaker bios this week are purposefully incomplete. Because teachers who speak out publicly are often disciplined by administrators we agreed not to identify the full names or the school districts and schools where the two teachers speaking in this chapter work. Mary has taught for more than 25 years at a small rural district in upstate New York.

Enfin elle reviendra avec nous sur la mémoire de la Shoah aujourd'hui, et sur la façon dont elle est utilisée politiquement, parfois pour diviser.

January 2025 The 27th of January 2025 is the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau - an event marked annually by Holocaust Memorial Day. In order to perpetrate the mass killings and other crimes of the Holocaust, the Nazi regime needed to coordinate and communicate about its activities. This included wireless communications which were intercepted and decoded at Bletchley Park. In this episode we take a look at what the Government Code and Cypher School (Bletchley Park) knew about these Nazi crimes, how and when this information was obtained, and how western governments responded to the news. Bletchley Park's Research Historian Dr David Kenyon is joined by journalist, author and Holocaust historian Christian Jennings to discuss his work on the role of codebreaking in these terrible events.

From the former Soviets whose forefathers liberated the camps, to nations at the other end of the globe untouched by World War II, what's the lesson?The words "never again" ring hollow in today's world.

How a town in Poland – once in Germany - is discovering its troubling past.Eighty years ago Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi extermination camp. Over 1.1 million people, mainly Jews, were murdered there. However, there is an aspect of those terrible days which is less well known and which 80 years later is still being uncovered and still resonating: the death marches.As Soviet troops approached, in January 1945, SS soldiers at Auschwitz-Birkenau forced some 60,000 prisoners to march west, in freezing temperatures. Weak with hunger and disease, those who fell behind were shot.This is the story of how eight decades on the search for the truth behind one of those death marches is being uncovered. For years the history of a death march passing through the once proud German community of Schönwald was hidden.It is also the story of how descendants of the original inhabitants of Schönwald are having to confront the role some of their relatives may have played in the Nazi project, and how today's Polish inhabitants of the town, which is now called Bojków, are grappling with what happened on their streets. Amie Liebowitz's own great-grandmother was murdered Auschwitz-Birkenau, while her great-aunt was rescued by the Soviet forces. She speaks to those on both sides – German and Polish – who are uncovering this history.
