Podcasts about aushwitz

Watch this episode with Wendy Holden, the author of 'The Teacher of Aushwitz' a stirring, sad, hopeful novel about a 28 year old gay Jewish inmate of Auschwitz who started up a children's barrick in the concentration camp to teach the children how to deal with the barbarism of their environment, and learn studies and creativity. Fredy was able to open the school through courageous negotiations with the SS, including Joseph Mengele. Wendy, a former war correspondent, is a magnificent author (of over 40 books) and guest. I enjoyed my time with her so much, her stories, her insights and her unparalleled positivity about human nature. Wendy is highly inspiring.

El pasado 27 de enero se cumplieron 80 años de la liberación del campo de exterminio de Aushwitz, que se ha convertido en referente clave del Holocausto. Aquí te contamos cómo fue evolucionando la forma de rememorar el evento más oscuro de la historia de Europa.

Ursprunget till 3 sekunder utan hopp sägs komma ifrån Viktor Frankls nedskriva betraktelser från sin tid i hela 4 olika tyska koncentrationsläger inklusive Aushwitz. Vi diskuterar olika sätt och metoder att behålla hoppet uppe i jobbiga situationer. Exempel på personer som klarat sig i närmast hopplösa situationer. Superfrågor som kan hjälpa när vi råkar ut för kriser och lösningar för att hålla sig positiv. Och varför du oftare borde njuta av solnedgången.

This week, in Caledon, Ontario, Canada, an odd man, who is described as a loner, with a foul odor, closes his antique shop, to spend his time living in an attic, when he's not living in the woods. He also finds time to go on a crime spree that earns him several nicknames. A nice couple ends up dead, and the police race against time to try to find him, after he's kidnaped several women, and may be holding them, alive!! It's a nail biter, and just a really strange tale, about a really strange man!!Along the way, we find out that Canadians are patriotic about anything Canadian, that when a man's odor can give away his location at 50 yards, it might be time to bathe, and that you can't root any harder than when police are actually racing to save several lives!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which comes on the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camps. Leon Schagrin was there.He was an 18-year old man, weighing all of 80 pounds, on this day back in 1945 when the Soviet army came through and liberated the prisoners. Leon was just 12 or 13 when the Nazis invaded his homeland of Poland and his long holocaust nightmare began. That he lived to tell about it is a miracle.Leon settled down in South Florida, where he and his wife would spend many Passover dinners at a neighbor's welcoming table. The neighbors happened to be the in-laws of someone with whom I went to high school, many years ago.It turns out that my old friend Stephen Shooster wrote Leon's story. It's immortalized in a book titled THE HORSE ADJUTANT: HOW ONE YOUNG BOY SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST.Leon is now 96 years and still tells his story, as it's one directive among the Jewish people -- Never forget, never again.So, today, I'm joined by both my old high school friend Stephen Shooster and holocaust survivor Leon Schagrin.Never forget. Never again.

Aushwitz, Dachau, Treblinka. You've heard of these death camps and killing centers built by the Nazis. But have you ever heard of Bikyvnia? It's a Soviet mass grave site just outside of Kyiv that will help you understand why Ukrainians are so motivated to defeat the Russian invaders.

On May 20, 1940, the first prisoners arrive at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi death camp. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

El libro que estoy leyendo me conmovió muchísimo. Se llama la Bailarina de Aushwitz, y es la historia de Edith Eger, que logró sobrevivir al holocausto, escapando de un campo de concentración. En este episodio te comparto lo que reflexioné.

1975- Entre el agua que sigue pasando agua bajo el puente de la segunda guerra mundial, hay quienes se confiesan, como Berko, uno de los 650 niños que sobrevivieron al horror de Auschwitz, y que tras salir, deambularon años por el mundo sin saber muy bien a dónde ir. Muchos años después, decide confesar uno de los grandes dolores de la época de prisionero a su mujer, en una carta. En la voz, Bárbara Espejo.

  Res gestae er latinsk og betyr «things done», gjerninger. Det som er gjort. Min tilnærming til kristendommen bygger på det som skjedde. Jesus ble født og han ble født som menneske av kjøtt og blod. Dette står i den apostoliske bekjennelse:» Født, ikke skapt». Jesus var som en av oss. Dette er et fundamentalt punkt som de første kristne sloss om. Noen mente at Jesus var en gud i menneskeham, at han ikke døde en virkelig død på korset. Dette synet ble forkastet og det som ble kanon var at han var av kjøtt og blod, som oss. Slik det står: Han ble menneske. Vi har alltid lurt på «hva er et menneske?» tittelen på Primo Levis første bok. Levi grunnet på hva mennesket er ut fra det han så og opplevde i Auschwitz. Hans tanker har en metafysisk side.   Forståelsen begynner med Adam, skapt i Guds bilde, over til Jesus og Aushwitz.  Auschwitz er et sivilisatorisk sluttpunkt. At vår tid har tatt opp igjen den samme nihilismen som nazismen sto for, er meget skremmende.   Derfor vender vi tilbake til utgangspunktet: Det hadde ikke trengt å gå sånn. Urkirken og kirkefedrene hadde ikke behøvd å lande på at Jesus ble født, ikke skapt. Men de gjorde det. Res gestae. Og det skjedde.

WWI & WWII Author and Historian Rick Lee has interviewed the oldest living veterans alive today. Having been apart of the 101st. Airborne, a walk on at the University of Alabama and an accomplished Engineer, Rick is interesting enough, in and of himself. Being the kind, unselfish man that he is, he has chosen rather to shine a light on American heroes serving in the Armed Forces. In this Podcast Rick tells stories that would rival many Hollywood war movies and would make some pale in comparison! As he traveled the U.S. interviewing World War 1 & 2 veterans he encountered unbelievable stories of valor and courage. These stories made up what became his first book "Tribute to Valor and Courage." From a man who Served in WW1 only to become a civilian prisoner in the Second World War, to a man serving under famed baseball player Jackie Robinson as his Platoon Leader. There are pieces of history told here, that are told knowere else. Told by men and women who said they were "just doing their duty." Rick tells a love story on this episode, that is more than movie worthy! Told by childhood sweethearts that had parents that went thru the murderous and vile Aushwitz Death Camps. Though teeming with tragedy, it has a fantastic happy ending that we won't give away here. Enjoy this treasure, loaded with fascinating historical facts. Told by the man who cultivated these nuggets from the Greatest Generation, Mr. Rick Lee.

Incredible story of מסירת נפש for שופר in Aushwitz

On the May 6, 2020 episode of Liberal Dan Radio I will of course be discussing the news about the Corona virus and other events of the day. But there are very important issues that need to be discussed.  When I was doing my minicast I saw that "Aushwitz" was tredning on Twitter. I looked to see what that was. I was disugsted at the woman who was carrying the sign she was carrying. Then Ammon Bundy all but blamed the Jews for standing by with their heads down as they got shot. What an ass.  Also, we will be discussing the murder of #AhmaudArbery in Georgia. This has the potential to be another Trayvon Martin case and it needs to stop.  All those issues and more on Liberal Dan Radio, talk from the left, that's right, wednesdays at 8pm central on BlogTalkaRadio.com/liberaldan.  You are of course welcome to call in if you are listening live (or you can join the chat). If you are listening after the live broadcast you can leave comments on the show thread at liberaldan.com, on the Liberal Dan Facebook page, and @liberaldanradio on Twitter.  Want more Liberal Dan?

Who is Howard Bloom? And what does he have to do with the COVID pandemic? It’s hard to know where to start -- Howard is a world renowned scientist, a highly regarded intellectual, an author and lecturer on wide ranging subject matter, a frank philosopher….and swears like a broken down truck driver.  Howard’s #1 principle of science - and seemingly his life - is “the truth at any price including the price of your life”.  Howard has written or lectured on quantum physics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, economics, and aerospace among other scientific disciplines.  Howard has been described as "next in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein”.   Yet science-minded Howard made a huge cultural impact managing public relations for some of the world’s biggest rock stars like Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, and on and on the list goes. Howard’s success was unparalleled and his future was wide open to possibilities….until his body failed his mind. Like mortals, Howard got sick with the flu, but instead of getting better in a few days, and unlike most others, he got worse. Much worse. Howard would spend the next 15 years practically bed bound, and 5 of those years he was so weak he couldn’t speak, and so sick he couldn’t have people in the same room. Howard would eventually figure out he had ME/cfs, known scientifically as myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME -- and informally known as ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’, or CFS.  ME/cfs is a complex disease that causes chronic immune and neurological dysfunction. Like millions of other people who never recovered from the flu or a viral or bacterial infection, and developed ME/cfs, Howard’s life - and his hope and dreams - would never be the same. It is well known in the medical community that some people never recover from viral infections. Many of the 2003 SARS pandemic victims did not fully recover because they developed ME/cfs, and it is beginning to appear that many of the COVID pandemic victims will also develop chronic immune and neurological problems like ME/cfs patients. The world may be facing millions more people who never recover from COVID and develop ME/cfs like Howard. In this interview, Howard shares his remarkable life, with all its highest of highs, and lowest of lows -- and tales of some of the famous people who intersected his journey through the world of rock and roll, and notable thinkers also immersed in the messy business of scientific discovery.  Perhaps as unusual as his life, Howard has made a very rare and full recovery from ME/cfs by maintaining a regimen of drugs to keep his body and mind working hard -- and to find the truth at any cost. Here is part 1 of my interview with the engrossing and sublime scientist Howard Bloom, author of the newly released book “Einstein, Michael Jackson and me”.... SHOW NOTES 0:07:00 Howard Bloom says childhood was a nightmare - he grew up in Buffalo, New York, and that's a nightmare - a very pretty city, wonderful Victorian architecture with big and front lawns - but his family didn't get to that status until he was 9 years old - Howard says that for someone born with a disability of being intellectual and probably bring on the autism spectrum 0:08:00 a term that didn't exist in those days, it was a very lonely place - Howard was born in 1943, the year of the Holocaust - his father has started a small liquor store in an attempt to make a living, he was 33 years old and was drafted and sent to California - so Howard grew up without a father - his mother had to immediately take over the liquor store and abandon her maternal role 0:09:00 Howard felt like he grew up without a mother as well - his mother was incredible competent, but not good at intimate relationships - so she hired a cleaning woman, not a baby sitter - to keep him out of the way, the cleaning women would lock him in a small corridor 0:10:00 That was how Howard spent the first 3 years of his life - once his Dad came back, Howard was ecstatic, for the first time in his life he's have a family - his parents then told him that he would be having a baby brother 0:11:00 Although Howard's brother was 2nd born, he was treated as the 1st child - so they parented his brother, but Howard was left in the cold - his mother was afraid of polio so she rarely let Howard out to play with other kids, but when she did, the other kids loathed Howard - when there was somebody to beat up, or chase, or humiliate, Howard was the kid 0:12:00 The neighbourhood kids excluded and marginalized Howard - but growing up isolated for the 1st ten years turned out to be a blessing for his future 0:13:00 Howard remebers in 1st grade that the 1st kid done their work would get a gold star - Howard was always last - his teacher called Howard's mother in and said 'I think your son is mentally retarded' and should be taken for psychological testing, and his mother did that but never told him the test results - one day Howard came in 2nd last, not last, and his teacher was so pleased, she gave him a gold star - so Howard was late to learn how to read and write 0:14:00 The house Howard was born in was very small, but his father did well from the liquor store they bought a new house, next door to a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house, with a huge backyard 0:15:00 It was an isolated neighbourhood, so Howard felt just as isolated as before - but their neighbour were a man and woman who were radiologists with advanced degrees - one day the woman said, 'my kids are away at summer camp, come to my reading room and see my books' - she had all 38 Oz books, and Howard read them all that summer - this was his introduction to a virtual world of reading 0:16:00 By 4th grade Howard was reading 2 books a day, one under his desk, so he was not paying attention to the teacher at all 0:17:00 Howard's father worked long hours, while his mother worked at becoming influential in Jewish society and education so she would hang out with college educated people, who she resented because she didn't get to go to college, so there was no time for Howard - whereas his parents dotted, hovered and did all the things you'd expect a parent to do 0:18:00 When Howard was in the Boy Scouts he tried very hard to win medals by completing tasks and then getting a parent to sign a piece of paper, but Howard could not get his parents to sign - when Howard's brother started Boy Scout's their mother became a Den Mother 0:19:00 This has worked to Howard's advantage - Howard can not look at things in the normal way, and he doesn't want to - when he was about 10 years old he found another book 0:20:00 He'd never seen it before, and would never see it again - the first 2 things it said were: the truth at any price, including the price of your life - and look at things as if you've never seen them before - to prove point #1, it told the story of Gallileo, but they told it all wrong - it said Gallileo would stick to his truth even if burnt at the stake - Howard says that is wrong - Gallileo told the Pope he'd retract everything he'd ever written 0:21:00 In exchange for house arrest - but the book did not tell it that way, but Howard needed a hero at that point -- the 2nd point was about Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1 of the 2 men who invented the microscope - it described Leeuwenhoek looking at swamp water and seeing 'animalcules' and writing to the Royal Society 0:22:00 Look for things that are invisible to you and all those around you and bring them into the light -- those 2 rules grabbed Howard, it was his religion, and he's dedicated his life to it - but not conventional science - he's a professional outsider, to see things others don't, to ask questions that would not occur to others - that's his fucking job 0:23:00 Howard read Jack Kerouac's On The Road, and reading about the Beatniks in Time Magazine - Howard and his best friend would Time cover to cover and they tied in the magazines current events competition every year 0:24:00 Every issue there was a story obout the Beatniks - Howard thought that if he could get close to the Beatniks, he would be accepted - the his father made a hideous mistake: for summer vacation he took them on a road trip to Cape Cod and Provincetown - Howard walked into the gallery in P-town and there were a bunch of Beatniks from the West Village (New York) 0:25:00 They grabbed onto Howard and treated him like another adult - so he spent the week with them and bought a pair sandals - when he got back to Buffalo, his French teacher was so scared of him and his sandals, she put him in a walk in closet - Howard started reading about Zen and wanted to drop out of high school, getting a motorcycle and go to California - but his parents threatened to send him to lumberjack camp 0:26:00 The last thing Howard wanted was to be around a bunch of macho men - Howard got in to Reed College, same as Steve Jobs, but Howard dropped out 6 weeks before the end of the year - as he was hitchhiking and riding the rails, a group of people gathered around Howard - Time and other magazines gave that movement a name, the Hippie Movement, so Howard, with others, accidentally started the Hippie Movement 0:27:00 Howard went to Israel for a year to live on a Kibbutz - his father thought it would make a man out of him - Howard went back to NY University - but when Howard was 10 years old, his mother took him to meet the head of Buffalo University graduate physics department and were in his office for an hour - as they were leaving, the proffessor put his hand on Howard's shoulder and told his mother that she didn't have to save to pay for college, Howard would get a scholarship to any college he wanted in theoretical physics 0:28:00 They had been interpreting the effect of the doppler shift and its implactions for Big Bang, the hot topic in physics at the time - indeed, Howard had 4 fellowships when he finished NYU, but in a field that had not been named yet, neuroscience - he got Columbia U to allow him to take any medical courses he wanted so he could piece together his own education program - but at 12 years old Howard realized what fascinated him was mass human passion, he called it 'the gods inside of us' 0:29:00 Howard realized that if he went to Grad school, it would be Aushwitz for the mind - so he dropped out, and went into something he knew little about: popular culture -- Howard pivoted because the Poet in Residence told Howard... 0:30:00 ...last year I asked you to be on the editorial board of the school literary magazine and you didn't even show up, this year I'm telling you that you are the Editor - Howard was distressed, he hated literary magazines, the typeface was terrible, colors awful - you could stop an orgy by throwong a literary magazine in it 0:31:00 A friend asked him: if you could do anything with this magazine, what would it be? Howard said it would be a picture book - so he gathered a team of visual artists and poets to create an issue Washington Square Review in a 12 x 12 inch format with full color printing 0:32:00 Howard was called into a meeting about the cost of the magazine and they said we're doubling your budget for the next issue - the 2nd issue was the Sex and Death issue, but half the staff quit - when it was published, Howard got calls from Look Magazine and others including Boy's LIfe... 0:33:00 ...the Boy Scout magazine - Howard had been kicked out of the Boy Scout's for incompetence in Morse Code when he was 11 -- Howard spent 2 weeks in a mental institution because the day after he attended his only rock and roll concert, he had tried to kill himself 0:34:00 For 4 years, school had given Howard structure and purpose - his 1st semester he got 4 As and 1 B, and he was humiliated to get a B -- in his 2nd semester he also got 4 As and 1 B 0:35:00 Howard created learning techniques, and he got straight As every semester after that - but when he school ended he had no purpose, no goal - Howard thinks he was depressed since he was 5 years old - every second of every day was a living hell, a torture and work was his escape - he learned to be a workaholic when he was 14 years old - when school ended, he fell into his deep depression 0:36:00 He knew what he'd be doing in September, but had no structure for the summer - he sat staring at a big bottle of valium and that was as far as he got in his suicide attempt 0:37:00 Howard's wife called Howard's uncle, a doctor, and they had Howard committed to a mental institution - when he got out, he went to visit one of his artists, but found him, his wife and their son in an empty apartment, crying - they were broke and about to be evicted 0:38:00 Howard told him he was a great artist and that if Howard showed his artwork they could both make money - after 2 weeks of trying to see art, he'd accomplished nothing 0:39:00 Howards' wife's 1st husband was a student too - she let Howard know she was sick and tired of students as husbands and Howard would lose her if he continued 0:40:00 Howard did not want to lose his wife - remember, Howard started out at 10 interested in astrophysics and microbiology - at 12 he built his first Boolean Algebra machine - at 16 he worked at the world's largest cancer research facility 0:41:00 Howard developed a theory about the beginning and end of the universe that he later discarded, but it did predict something that came true 38 years later: dark energy - but at 12-13 years old Howard discovered one of his real passions was for 'the gods inside us' - to find the ecstactic experience and how it relates to history 0:42:00 Howard felt like psychologist William James's 1902 book, The Varities of Religious Experience', was written for him - a calling to continue James's work 0:43:00 Howard was in pursuit of the ecstatic experience - that was never going to happen at Grad School 0:44:00 So in September, instead of returning to school, he immersed himself in something he knew nothing about: popular culture - it was an opportunity to go 'into the field' and it was an obligation of Howard's as a science person 0:45:00 Science is dedicating yourself to exploring - particpant/observor science, like Margaret Meade immersing herself in another culture 0:46:00 Fast forward in Howard's life, and he starts a PR (Public Relations) firm for rock and roll and popular music - he built into the largest PR firm approaching it from a science stance he learned growing up - Howard reinvented music PR 0:47:00 Howard took a 'truth drives out lies' approach to PR, in align with science seeking truth - Howard worked with a lot of talent and turned them into superstars 0:48:00 Howard says that if you find someone who can have a positive influence on humanity, you must dedicate yourself to that - when Howard was 14 yrs old, he promised his parents he would work hard if he could go to a private school - that's where he learned to work 7 days a week 0:49:00 Constant work was the salvation for his clinical depression - it did not cure, but buffered the pain a little bit - Howard says thanks to CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) he no longer has depression 0:50:00 Howard had heard that fighter pilots are sent into battle for 2 weeks, then get 6 weeks of rest and relaxation because their 'alarm system' is on super high when they are fighting, and if you leave the alarm system on too long, they will burnout - Howard alarm system had been on 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year - he does not like rest or relaxation, it is depressing - Howard worked for 8 years without a vacation, but arranged a 2 week vacation in Los Angeles 0:51:00 In his 30s, Howard knew his body would refuse to work unrelentlessly hard - he didn't know what form that would take, but knew it would prevent him from working so prepared to live with that - Howard and his wife lived like church mice, but took all their money and invested it in real estate 0:52:00 So the property would earn a living if Howard was too weak to work - but on March 10, 1988, Howard flew to a meeting with new clients, to meet them in their own environment 0:53:00 In spite of anticipating his body was going to break down, Howard did not let up on his workaholic ways - his 1st prinicple is the truth at any price, including the price of your life - so Howard flew to this meeting and was met at the airport and taken to Linda and Cecil's home 0:54:00 Their home was new, built like an aircraft carrier, it was unfinished, on top of a hill, surrounded by sheep - because it was March 10th, it was cold and there was no heating or furniture, so they sat on the floor for the next 5-6 hours - then got back into the jeep and 5 hours drive back to the airport - something uncharacteristic happend when he left the plane: he forgot his laptop - the next day it was obvious he was coming down a cold, so he did what he always did: work hard, walk 2.5 miles, carry on -- he was a bit sicker the next day (Sunday), but did his 2.5 miles walk 0:55:00 Howard can't even remember being at work on Monday - about noon on Tuesday he told his colleagues they had to get him out of the office immediately because soon he'd be too weak to walk upstairs - his staff literally dragged him to the car to take him home - he doesn't know how he made it upstairs to his 4th floor apartment because he was so weak - Howard was too sick to leave his bedroom for 3 months 0:56:00 Howard felt like his circuit boards had been pulled out - until all he could was stare at the ceiling - but he was blissfully content because he didn't have the energy to be depressed, or the energy to be unfulfilled or driven - Howard's wife got their daughter's friend to care give and Howard spent 3 months watching movies - often too weak to think and too weak to speak ---- PART 2 COMING NEXT WEEK ------ Connect with Howard Bloom: howardbloom.net Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/howard.bloom    Be a podcast patron Support Medical Error Interviews on Patreon by becoming a Patron for $2 / month for audio versions.  Premium Patrons get access to video versions of podcasts for $5 / month.

Work hard. Train hard. Rest hard. I have been living with HIV since 1998. I was the first person living with HIV to compete at the triathlon world championships. Thanks to research and access to medications, HIV is not a problem in my life. I have been living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since 2012, and thanks in part to medical error, it is a big problem in my life. Counseling / Research I first became aware of the ubiquitousness of medical error during a decade of community based research working with the HIV Prevention Lab at Ryerson University, where I co-authored two research papers on a counseling intervention for people living with HIV, here and here.  Patient participants would often report varying degrees of medical neglect, error and harms as part of their counseling sessions. Patient Advocacy I am co-founder of the ME patient advocacy non-profit Millions Missing Canada, and on the Executive Committee of the Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Research Network. I am also a patient advisor for Health Quality Ontario’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, and member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada. Medical Error Interviews podcast and vidcast emerged to give voice to victims, witnesses and participants in this hidden epidemic so we can create change toward a safer health care system.

A story about men who escaped Auschwitz

Welcome to my second interview and I am honored to introduce my dad, Leslie Aigner, to the podcast! Since he and my mom are the reasons that I have created Clear Choices, it is only fitting that they are my first two interviews on the podcast. If you haven't listened to Episode 1, please go back and hear my mom's interview. Leslie was born in 1929 in Nové Zámky, Czechoslovakia. His family moved to Csepel, Budapest, in the early 1940's to escape the oppressive Nazi discrimination against Jews. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of the horrific treatment my father, his family, and millions of other people faced because of their religion. On this episode, you will hear how, through some amazing choices and a few miracles, my dad lived through and survived four concentration camps including Aushwitz and Dachau. You will also hear how he met my mother, immigrated to America, began a new life and family, and created a legacy for many generations to come. "There were many of these small decisions. I don't know why, it's not the smarts but I made it just for gut feeling that I had to do this." "Being a survivor, I count every day my blessings and appreciate life more than anyone and I wanted to prove myself. Every day to learn something, embrace people- regardless of their background or religion or color and just embrace everything." In this episode, you will hear: - My dad's testimony of his survival through the Holocaust, how he met my mother, and their immigration to America - The choice they made to begin telling their difficult history to help others and create an amazing legacy - How my dad's horrific Holocaust experience created in him a profound appreciation for people, life, and his blessings Thank you so much for listening!

La pietra d’inciampo che era stata affissa il 16 gennaio scorso di fronte al portale juvarriano della Certosa di Collegno è stata rubata nella notte. Si tratta di una serie di opere a cura dell’artista Gunter Demnig e dedicate alle vittime della shoah, per le quali vengono installate delle placche a terra, di fronte alle loro abitazioni o a luoghi legati a loro. Quella sottratta era dedicata a Massimo De Benedetti, deportato e morto ad Aushwitz il 31 ottobre del 44.Il commento di Guido Vaglio, direttore del Museo Diffuso della Resistenza a Torino

Siamo stati con Marco Fraschia, preside del Collegio valdese di Torre Pellice che ci ha parlato dell'iniziativa di venerdì 17 novembre che coinvolgerà studenti delle medie di Torre Pellice e del Collegio. Alle 10.15 le tre classi di terza mediadell'Istituto Comprensivo “Gianni Rodari” di Torre Pellice e i primi due anni delLiceo valdese di Torre Pellice si troveranno nel cortile del Liceo valdese perpiantare 80 bulbi di crocus gialli in memoria del milione e mezzo di bambini ebrei chemorirono a causa dell'Olocausto e delle migliaia di altri bambini che furono vittimedelle atrocità naziste. I fiori gialli ricordano le stelle di Davide gialle che gli Ebreierano costretti a cucire sugli abiti durante il dominio nazista. Il crocus fiorisce allafine di gennaio o all’inizio di febbraio, intorno alla data del Giorno della Memoria, il 27 gennaio di ogni anno, in ricordo della liberazione del campo di Aushwitz da parte dell'esercito dell'Armata Rossa nel 1945.Il Progetto Crocus, ideato e sostenuto dalla Fondazione irlandese per l’insegnamentosull’Olocausto (Holocaust Education Trust Ireland, HETI), è un modo tangibile diintrodurre i giovani all’argomento dell’Olocausto ed aumentare la consapevolezza deirischi del razzismo, della discriminazione, del pregiudizio e dell’odio. La fondazioneHETI mette a disposizione linee guida e informazioni che possono essere di ausilioagli insegnanti nel corso di questa attività. La partecipazione di bambini e giovani nelpiantare i bulbi e osservare la crescita dei fiori incoraggia un apprendimento continuodell’importanza della tolleranza e del rispetto. Negli anni precedenti, quasi 100.000studenti in Italia ed altri numerosi in Irlanda e nel resto d’Europa hanno partecipato alProgetto Crocus.Poi, nell'ultima parte abbiamo parlato con il sindaco di Torre Pellice per capire il nuovo metodo di raccolta rifiuti che potrà partire nei 47 comuni consorziati con Acea Pinerolese. Un modello di raccolta differezniata con tessere di riconoscimento che a Villafranca Piemonte ha impennato la quota di raccolta differenziata, arrivando a oltrepassare l'80%, bel al di sopra del limite di 75% che chiede la Regione Piemonte. Ora Torre Pellice, ad esempio, si assesta intorno al 55%.

We can't defeat Israel in field combat, so let us beat them with their own power - the spirit! Thus did Balak, King of Moab reason, and hired the bizarro prophet Bilam to curse the Jews. Rabbi Mike Feuer joins Rabbi Yishai, and a talking donkey, in the fight to turn Bilam's curses into blessings. Plus: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on Aushwitz.

From the Greek words “holos” meaning whole and “kaustos: meaning burned, historically the word Holocaust described a sacrificial offering burned on an alter. In the 1940's, Adolph Hitler changed the meaning of Holocaust which we now know as the horrendous mass murder and torture of over six million Jews plus four to six million non-Jews in his campaign for the “Final Solution” inhi quest for racial Aryan purity. Cynthia Brian discusses the history of the Holocaust and anti-semitism then interviews author Colonel Charles Causey about his book, The Lion and the Lamb. A novel of innocence, betrayal, and tragedy, The Lion and the Lamb is an absorbing tale of how war-torn people cling to the power of hope and faith. Colonel Charles Causey spent three years researching this history to bring this true Holocaust story of the suffering innocent and the morally extinguished leaders of the Third Reich.

Today my spotlight is on the studies of Michaela Haas, PhD and the experiences that she has had that led to the writing of her book, Bouncing Forward. Michaela draws from her conversations with civil rights icon Maya Angelou, autistic pioneer Temple Grandin, and famed jazz guitarist Coco Shumann, who played for his life in Aushwitz. This is a powerful conversation about resilience and reshaping the way we think about crisis. Scholar, Author, reporter and television host Michaela Haas connects cutting-edge research to ancient Buddhist wisdom as a twenty year student of meditation, and she discusses a holistic context for growth and healing.

I have just returned from a tour of the major cities of Poland, Hungary, Austria and The Czech Republic which included Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna and Prague. My visit to the Polish city of Cracow included a tour of the infamous concentration camps of Aushwitz and Birkenau. In each of these great cities I ate large quantities of good food, drank copious glasses of good wine while visitng magnificent castles and memorials to the tens of millions slaughtered by the Nazi's the Communists and citizens of these countries whose children go to school, get married, have babies of their own and eat and laugh in the same way as the millions of visitors who come to their homelands. The trip therefore had a surreal quality that now has me asking myself how I, and my fellow travelers could have had such a good time in places that are vast graveyards and killing fields. How do I tell a story of my adventures that can shed some light on how these horrors could have happened without uttering the nearly universal words "It's Unbelievable" and "How could this have happened" while then enjoying a fun filled evening of good food and fellowship. How can we explain Mozart, Beethoven Tchaikovsky and Dvorak along side of Hitler and Stalin. In my story this evening I will offer some suggestions of explanation that will certainly be inadequate and which will certainly not have a happy ending. I will employ some of the themes used in past broadcasts including self and group idealization, dehumanization and demonization, and victimization.

Chuck and Patrick discuss Chuck's trip to Europe on his return, he shares his thoughts on Aushwitz, Poland and Vienna. David Rubin, former Mayor of Shiloah, Israel and The Islamic Tsunami joins the conversation followed by Huffington Post columnist Dave Johnson.

The Polish Foreign Ministry is sponsoring Hebrew language radio shows in Israel, too...They're even renovating Aushwitz...And if THAT doesn't signal a rebirth of the Polish Jewish community, then I don't know WHAT does!(remove tongue from cheek, now)...Also...More on the preparations for the Passover holiday...Marty sells his chametz (leaven) and the Israel Army sells their dogs...Plus...Will THIS be the year?...Is the Final Redemption finally going to happen?...Certain signs point to yes...All this and more on "The Marty Roberts Show"...
