Join us as Robert Balch shares what it was like to be the tip of the spear for the 14th Armored division during WW2. Beginning with a brutal baptism by fire in Gertwiller in November 1944, his platoon advanced as the spearhead column, crossing the German border at Wissembourg and conducting high-stakes scouting missions directly against the Dragon's Teeth of the Siegfried Line. The unit faced severe physical and psychological strain, enduring freezing foxholes during a tense "battle of nerves" near Bitche, before being forced into a chaotic, full-scale tactical withdrawal when hit by a massive German counter-offensive during Operation Nordwind, the last German counter offensive of the war. Robert reflects on their service during the post-war occupation of Germany, members of the platoon fiercely defended the purpose and conduct of the American GI, emphasizing that their resolve was permanently forged by the trauma of combat and the firsthand horrors of liberating concentration camps like Dachau and Buchenwald. Support the show

Brandstiftung, Zigaretten oder Blitzschlag gelten oft als Ursachen von Waldbränden. Doch Peter macht einen entscheidenden Unterschied: Das sind meist nur die Auslöser. Die eigentliche Gefahr entsteht dort, wo leicht brennbare Nadelbaum- und Eukalyptusplantagen auf ausgetrocknete Böden treffen. Auf seinem Rundgang durch einen alten Buchenwald zeigt Peter, warum naturnahe Laubwälder Wasser speichern, sich selbst kühlen und deutlich schwerer brennen. Außerdem geht es um Kahlschläge, Forstwirtschaft, Waldbrände in Kanada und Südeuropa sowie die Frage, wie unsere Landschaften künftig grüner, feuchter und kühler werden können.

Mother Maria was born in Latvia in 1891. Like many of the pre-Revolutionary Russian intelligenstia, she was an atheist and a political radical in her youth, but gradually came to accept the truths of the Faith. After the Revolution, she became part of the large Russian emigre population of Paris. There she was tonsured as a nun by Metropolitan Evlogy, and devoted herself to a life of service to the poor. With a small community of fellow-believers, she established 'houses of hospitality' for the poor, the homeless, and the alcoholic, and visited Russian emigres in mental hospitals. In 1939 Metropolitan Evlogy sent the young priest Fr Dimitry to serve Mother Maria's community; he proved to be a partner, committed even unto death, in the community's work among the poor. When the Nazis took Paris in 1940, Mother Maria, Fr Dimitry, and others of the community chose to remain in the city to care for those who had come to count on them. As Nazi persecution of Jews in France increased, the Orthodox community's work naturally expanded to include protection and care of these most helpless ones. Father Dimitri was asked to provide forged certificates of baptism to preserve the lives of Jews, and always complied. Eventually, this work led to the arrest of Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and their associates. A fragment survives of the Gestapo's interrogation of Fr Dimitri:   Hoffman: If we release you, will you give your word never again to aid Jews?   Klepinin: I can say no such thing. I am a Christian and must act as I must. (Hoffman struck Klepinin across the face.)   Hoffman: Jew lover! How dare you talk of helping those swine as being a Christian duty! (Klepinin, recovering his balance, held up the cross from his cassock.)   Klepinin: Do you know this Jew? (For this, Father Dimitri was knocked to the floor.)   "Your priest did himself in," Hoffman said afterward to Sophia Pilenko. "He insists that if he were to be freed, he would act exactly as before."   Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and several of their colleages, were sent to the Nazi concentration camps (Mother Maria to Ravensbruck, Fr Dimitri to Buchenwald) where, after great sufferings, they perished. It is believed that Mother Maria's last act was to take the place of a Jew being sent to death, voluntarily dying in his place.   A full account of their life and death is given on the site of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship.   Mother Maria and her companions were glorified by the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2004.

Immergrün, stachelig und leicht giftig: Die Stechpalme ist die einzige heimische Laubbaumart, die ihr Laub im Winter nicht abwirft – und damit alle Regeln bricht. Viele von euch haben sich eine Folge über den Ilex gewünscht. Peter radelt dafür in einen alten Buchenwald, in dem er seit über zehn Jahren nicht mehr war, und schlägt sich mit euch durchs Unterholz. Unterwegs geht es vom Hölzchen aufs Stöckchen: Warum das Summen im Sommerwald von harmlosen Schwebfliegen stammt, die nur so tun, als wären sie Wespen. Warum Rehe die Zahl der Zecken in die Höhe treiben, Borreliose aber selbst gar nicht bekommen können. Weshalb junge Douglasien hier reihenweise kränkeln. Und was ein paar Basaltsplitter im Boden über einen längst vergessenen Weg verraten. Und dann endlich die Stechpalme: Peter zeigt, warum ihre Blätter nur dort Dornen tragen, wo Reh und Hirsch hinkommen – weiter oben sind sie glatt. Wie sie sich mit Wurzelbrut gegen Verbiss wehrt, warum sie Frostschutz in ihre Blätter einlagert und wie sie ausgerechnet im tiefen Schatten alter Buchen überlebt: mit den Lichtlücken im Frühjahr und im Herbst, wenn die Buchen noch – oder schon wieder – kahl sind. Außerdem: warum sie das ausgeglichene atlantische Klima braucht, in Nordamerika zur invasiven Art wurde, was Goethes Spazierstock mit ihr zu tun hat – und warum ihr im Garten unbedingt die Wildform pflanzen solltet.

„Erinnerungen unter Druck“ – Das Vermächtnis des Holocaust-Überlebenden Elie Wiesel Kaum jemand steht so für das Erinnern an den Holocaust wie Elie Wiesel. Seine Mutter starb in Auschwitz, sein Vater in Buchenwald, er selbst überlebte den nationalsozialistischen Terror als Jugendlicher.

Acho que fica bem claro como estava já tudo descrito muito antes de termos nascido. Como nos lembra Sven Lindqvist, a palavra «Europa» deriva de uma palavra semítica que significa apenas «escuridão». E, de resto, como ele também vinca, «a distância entre a ideia do extermínio e o coração do humanismo não é maior do que a existente entre Buchenwald e a Goethehaus em Weimar. «Essa percepção foi quase completamente reprimida, até mesmo pelos alemães, que foram transformados num bode expiatório por perfilharem ideias que constituem de facto uma herança europeia comum.» No livro Exterminem Todas as Bestas, ele faz ainda este reparo: «Ninguém chama a atenção para o facto de, durante a infância de Hitler, um dos principais elementos na visão europeia da humanidade ser a convicção de que as ‘raças inferiores' estavam por natureza condenadas à extinção: a verdadeira compaixão das raças superiores consistia em facilitar-lhes o desaparecimento.» Lindqvist ainda nos remete para a etimologia desse termo tão banalizado hoje – extermínio. «O latim extermino significa ‘conduzir para fora', terminus, ‘exilar, banir, excluir'. Daí deriva o português exterminar, que significa ‘conduzir para fora, para a morte, banir da vida'.» É muito evidente, por isso, como as nossas sociedades estão baseadas na lógica da exclusão, em que a própria noção de triunfo se liga à capacidade de gozar de privilégios exclusivos, e como esta orienta, por si mesma, uma educação para o extermínio. E se estamos sempre à espera de uma revelação estrondosa, o que se torna cada vez mais claro por estes dias é que o inferno não é mais impressionante do que isto. De um lado toda esta indiferença, do outro só resta o momento em que alguém, tendo poder sobre nós, fará o que tem a fazer. Mistério de espécie alguma virá soprar aos nossos ouvidos uma noção que nos sirva como um ponto de não retorno. «Quando sábios sentados nos seus cadeirões, há já muito tempo, se puseram a descrever as aparências e os costumes do Homo Economicus, muitas pessoas não acreditaram nas suas palavras e chamaram o homem real de homem abstracto. Ninguém então se podia dar conta de que esses professores e esses calculadores estavam simplesmente a descrever a nova existência abstracta da humanidade e assinalavam os primeiros eclipses do homem real. Ninguém suspeitava de que a sua descrição só parecia abstracta pela fidelidade à abstracção do seu novo modelo» (Nizan). Neste episódio, impulsionados pelo enredo nervoso, cumulativo, indagador, dessa proposta de uma etnografia dos ambientes circundantes que a Marta Lança acaba de lançar (Essas Pessoas na Sala de Jantar), mergulhamos em tantos dos elementos que sinalizam como a geração de que fazemos parte gozou de um período de intervalo extraordinário em que se permitiu iludir com a perspectiva da superação ou supressão da História, sendo que muita da nossa ilusão hoje alimenta um mal-estar desafiante, obrigando a redescobrir com uma inusitada estranheza tantos capítulos das nossas vidas, e reconhecendo como estes poderão ser lidos dentro de alguns anos como os sinais de uma espécie de privilégio fabuloso e ofensivo. Realidade dissolvida. Existência de fumo. Paixões de sonhos. Nem tido nem achado, o homem passou para a conta dos lucros e das perdas. Existe um trabalho e uma posse real, quero dizer, nos camponeses, nos artesões, nos poetas, para os quais a posse significa a unidade da acção, do preço e do produto. Mas os burgueses produzem e possuem abstractamente. Como há muito herdaram de Israel, passam a vida a emprestar com juros. Comanditam, pobre ou grandemente, são portadores de obrigações e ganham somas abstractas pagas por devedores abstractos: uma cidade, uma companhia, um Estado, um caminho-de-ferro. Ou possuem acções: operários de carne trabalham para prolongar a sua existência de fantasmas. Entre os seres e eles, a vida humana e eles, a banca é seguida pelo seu cortejo fantástico de bolsas, de cargos, de correctores de câmbios. O género de posse e de lucro burguês separa-os de tudo aquilo que é real: conhecem apenas sinais e contactos feéricos à distância. O seu mundo é mágico. No dia em que estas pessoas tiverem nas mãos um poder timbrado, um título verde, participam na natureza mística de um ser que não existe. Absorvem as suas hóstias de capital. Eles não são. São conduzidos pelos demónios da abstracção. Que pensam eles? Quem os pensa? Estados civis, catálogos. Ricos com etiquetas como uma velha mala de viajante. Nos sólidos regulares dos seus quartos, fecham à chave todos os seus repertórios de sinais e emblemas, para dormirem um sono tranquilo: uma brochura de casamento, uma cédula militar, um cartão de eleitor, e a escuma de papel que deixa a circulação do dinheiro nas casas dos homens. Todos os monumentos de França defendem o estado mágico destes homens. A sua vida de asilo está protegida, em todos os pontos cardinais, contra as tentativas da vida ao ar livre. É impossível respirar, está-se no fundo de um poço. Eu sei porque é que me sentia a sufocar, já não é um sufoco obscuro, um movimento cego de se debater num sonho, mas a mutilação ao sol, a asfixia em pleno dia. Tudo o que está de pé em torno de mim pertence aos meus inimigos. Eu não tenho nada, não tiro prazer de nada. Vejo por toda a parte as provas de pedra da sua dominação, as igrejas, os palácios nacionais, as casernas, os institutos, os comissariados, os palácios da justiça, os bordéis, os ministérios. Não se pode estender os braços sem tocar com a ponta dos dedos na porta de um banco, no peito de um agente, de um cavaleiro da Legião de Honra. Conseguirei eu fazer escapar a mulher que amo? Eles põem entraves nas rodas do amor. Acorrem de todos os lados ao local onde se faz ouvir uma palavra de protesto, onde se produz uma tentativa de libertação. Quando se retiram, deixam o lugar limpo: os seus polícias, os seus mirones e os seus sábios agem com a certeza sonhadora das máquinas.» Acho que fica bem claro que estava tudo descrito muito antes de termos nascido. Como nos lembra Sven Lindqvist, a palavra «Europa» deriva de uma palavra semítica que significa apenas «escuridão». E, de resto, como ele também vinca, «a distância entre a ideia do extermínio e o coração do humanismo não é maior do que a existente entre Buchenwald e a Goethehaus em Weimar.

This lecture focuses on experiences of hiding and help during the Holocaust across Europe, including the German Reich itself, to highlight the significance of surrounding societies for the survival of Jews. In a broad comparative analysis, going beyond a focus on individual rescuers and getting away from generalisations about supposed ‘national characteristics', Mary Fulbrook illuminates how local power structures and sense of community shaped non-Jewish responses to antisemitic policies, and affected the choices, experiences and chances of Jews attempting to evade persecution in different regions during the war. This lecture was recorded by Mary Fulbrook on the 18th of May 2026A graduate of Cambridge and Harvard universities, Mary Fulbrook is Professor of German History at University College London (UCL) and a Fellow of the British Academy. Her current research is on rescue and survival across Europe during the Holocaust.She is the author or editor of some 29  books, including Bystander Society: Conformity and Complicity in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust (2023); the Wolfson History Prize-winner Reckonings: Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice (2018); and the Fraenkel Prize-winning A Small Town near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust (2012), as well as, most recently, Ten Moments that shaped Berlin (2025) and, edited with Jürgen Matthäus, The Cambridge History of the Holocaust Vol. 2: Perpetrating the Holocaust: Policies, Participants, Places (2025).One of her major research areas has been the GDR, on which she wrote Anatomy of a Dictatorship: Inside the GDR, 1949-89 (OUP, 1995) and The People's State: East German Society from Hitler to Honecker (Yale UP, 2005). Dissonant Lives: Generations and Violence through the German Dictatorships (OUP, 2011; 2 vols. 2017) traces distinctive generational experiences across this traumatic century, from before World War One until after German unification in 1990.  She has also written on German National Identity after the Holocaust (Polity Press, 1999) and Historical Theory (Routledge, 2002). More general books include A Concise History of Germany (CUP, 3rd edn. 2018) and A History of Germany 1918-2020: The Divided Nation (Blackwell, 5th edn 2021). She has directed a series of AHRC-funded interdisciplinary research projects, and is currently directing a collaborative project funded by the AHRC and the German Research Foundation (DFG) jointly with Prof. Christina Morina of Bielefeld University.Service to UCL includes five years as Dean of the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences, and a dozen years as Head of the German Department. Among wider professional commitments, Mary Fulbrook serves on numerous academic advisory boards concerned with Holocaust history and representation, including the USHMM Academic Committee, the Academic Advisory Board of the Foundation for the former Nazi Concentration Camps at Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora, and the Editorial Advisory Board of Yad Vashem Studies. She has previously served as Chair of the Modern History Section of the British Academy, Chair of the German History Society, and she was Founding Joint Editor of German History.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/society-and-survival-during-holocaustGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Katja Hoyer is a German-British historian who has made a career out of explaining Germany to the world—and, just as importantly, to Germans themselves. Born in East Germany in 1985 and now based in Britain, she has written acclaimed histories of the German Empire, the GDR, and most recently the Weimar Republic. Tyler and Katja discuss why communism made East Germans more loyal to the system while it bred dissidents in Poland and Hungary, how happy or unhappy life in the GDR actually was, Tyler's own bleak day-trip to East Berlin in 1984, the underrated literature of the GDR (Christa Wolf, Brigitte Reimann), whether Good Bye, Lenin! got the era right, why it's no coincidence that Richter and Polke came from the East, the strange coexistence of communist prudishness and Germany's nudist culture, what Merkel's East German background did and didn't give her as a chancellor, why East Germans remain dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions today, what makes Weimar the cultural and spiritual heart of Germany, why relatively few Jews ever settled there, how much the citizens of Weimar knew about Buchenwald, what actually killed the Weimar Constitution, how she'd rewrite the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler's citizenship problem, underrated German thinkers, the complacency behind Germany's current economic decline, which side of the Weißwurstäquator she'd choose to live on, and much more.

Zu Gast bei L.I.S.A. mit Per Leo und Janosch Steuwer. Die Kontroversen, die sich an der Erinne­rungs­kul­tur in Deutschland entzünden, reißen nicht ab. Der „Historiker­streit 2.0“, die Debatte um die Gedenk­stätten­kon­zep­tion des Bundes oder Protest­aktionen wie zuletzt „Kufiyas in Buchenwald“ sind nur einige Beispiele. Mit den Histo­ri­kern Dr. Janosch Steuwer (Köln) und Dr. Per Leo (Berlin) blicken wir in der neuen Ausgabe von „Zu Gast bei L.I.S.A.“ zunächst zurück: Unter welchen Bedin­gun­gen entstand die Erinne­rungs­kul­tur und wie wurde sie zur bestim­men­den Form der Aus­ei­nan­der­­setzung der Deutschen mit dem Holocaust und der national­sozia­lis­ti­schen Gewalt­herr­schaft? Um davon aus­ge­hend zu fragen, wo heute die Grenzen dieses Umgangs mit der Geschichte liegen – insbe­son­dere, wenn der Holocaust-Erinne­rung eine identitäts­stiftende Funk­tion zu­ge­schrie­ben wird. Und inwie­weit können Geschichts­erzählungen heute überhaupt noch kollektive Bindekraft ent­fal­ten?

"[...] ich habe eher gemischte Gefühle bei dem ganzen Vorgang", sagt Historiker Jens-Christian Wagner, Direktor der Stiftung Gedenkstätten Buchenwald und Mittelbau-Dora. Er begrüßt zwar die Stärkung der Holocaust-Bildung, kritisiert aber die mangelnde Transparenz und fehlende Einbindung bestehender Gedenkstätten bei der Planung der neuen Yad-Vashem-Außenstelle in München.

Weimar Was a Real Place Before It Became a Political WarningThe “Weimar Republic” has become shorthand for collapse, extremism, and economic chaos — but as historian and author Katja Hoyer argues in this episode of History Rage, Weimar was first and foremost a real town with a rich cultural history stretching back centuries. Home to Goethe, Schiller, Liszt and Nietzsche, Weimar was long considered the spiritual and intellectual heart of Germany before it ever became associated with democratic failure. In this fascinating conversation, Katja dismantles the clichés surrounding interwar Germany by exploring how ordinary people experienced extraordinary political change. Through the lives of Weimar residents — bookbinders, teachers, social democrats and shopkeepers — she reveals how hope, apathy, fear and economic despair gradually transformed a fragile democracy into a dictatorship. From the optimism surrounding Germany's first truly democratic elections in 1919 to the devastation of hyperinflation, the Great Depression, and the rise of Nazism, this episode explores how extremism becomes acceptable when people feel abandoned by politics. Katja explains why the Nazis initially remained a fringe movement, how the economic crash of 1929 changed everything, and why so many ordinary Germans convinced themselves to look away from the horrors developing around them. The discussion also examines Weimar's proximity to Buchenwald concentration camp and the uncomfortable realities of what civilians knew — or chose not to know — as Nazi brutality escalated. This is a powerful exploration of how democratic societies fracture, and why understanding the everyday experience of historical change matters now more than ever.

The town of Weimar looms large in German history. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe's greatest thinkers, Goethe and Schiller, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest. German-British historian Katya Hoyer has drawn on a wealth of new archival research to tell the story of Weimar through the lives of some of its citizens from the years 1919-1939.  In this episode, she talks to historian Sophie Scott-Brown about some of these vividly drawn characters who, as the events of history swept them up, became witnesses, perpetrators, victims and bystanders. How did Germany, within a few years, turn from one of the most liberal democracies in the world to a genocidal dictatorship? What choices did individual Germans make that enabled this? And what lessons can we learn to avoid repeating their mistakes?  Katja Hoyer is Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. She is the author of Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe.

Bernhard, Henry www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was a city of wreckage, rumors, and strange things washing up where they didn't belong. When transplant Skip Henderson buys a battered table lamp at a post-storm rummage sale, along with a set of drums and an Allen Iverson jersey, the seller casually drops a chilling line: “That's a Nazi lampshade.” At first, it feels like just another piece of post-Katrina chaos. But when Skip takes a closer look at the lampshade's translucent, veined material, the object starts to haunt him. He ships it from friend to friend, trying to get it out of his life until it lands with veteran journalist Mark Jacobson, who can't let the mystery go. In this episode of Gone South, host Jed Lipinski follows the lampshade's bizarre journey from the Lower Ninth Ward to DNA labs, Holocaust institutions, and a decades-old urban legend where the truth may be even harder to pin down than the myth.

L'émission 28 minutes du 01/04/2026 Le témoignage bouleversant et édifiant d'une rescapée des camps de la mort Lili Keller-Rosenberg a 11 ans quand elle est arrêtée à Roubaix, puis déportée au camp de concentration de Ravensbrück en décembre 1943. Quatre-vingts ans après, elle raconte son histoire dans une bande dessinée publiée aux éditions Glénat, accompagnée par Boris Golzio. “Lili, toujours debout, jusqu'au bout ! De Ravensbrück à Bergen-Belsen”, retrace le parcours de cette famille juive d'origine hongroise : le père déporté à Buchenwald où il sera assassiné, Lili, ses deux frères et sa mère, envoyés à Ravensbrück, puis à Bergen-Belsen dont ils sortiront en vie. Méga-concerts, boom du streaming : pour la musique, un jackpot sans fausses notes ? C'est l'événement musical de l'année : le retour de Céline Dion sur scène pour dix concerts du 12 septembre au 14 octobre à La Défense Arena, à Nanterre. 400 000 spectateurs sont attendus et les retombées économiques pourraient atteindre un milliard d'euros pour la France. Depuis plusieurs années, le modèle des méga-concerts s'est développé dans l'industrie musicale, si bien qu'un terme a même été inventé pour qualifier les retombées économiques de ceux de Taylor Swift : les “Swiftonomics”. La Fédération internationale de l'industrie phonographique a enregistré des revenus en hausse de 6 % en 2025 par rapport à 2024. Ces succès ne reposent pas seulement sur la scène mais aussi sur le boom des vinyles. Le développement de l'intelligence artificielle pourrait rebattre les cartes. On débat avec Joëlle Farchy, professeure des universités à l'Université Paris 1, spécialiste des industries culturelles, Mathilde Serrell, journaliste et productrice à France Inter, et Bertrand Burgalat, musicien, président du Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique. Pour la première fois, les femmes médecins sont plus nombreuses que les hommes en France : l'occasion pour Xavier Mauduit de nous raconter l'histoire de Jacqueline Félicie de Almania, une médecin du Moyen Âge.

Mit ihrem Buch "Landschaft ohne Zeugen. Buchenwald und der Riss der Erinnerung" ist die Autorin für den Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse nominiert.

At the Passover Seder, we are taught to respond differently to four types of children. Each one asks a different question, and each one needs a different kind of answer. But the Haggadah's response to the “wicked” child is deeply puzzling. Why does it sound so harsh? Why do we seem to insult a child who is simply asking questions? Many people feel uncomfortable when they reach this moment in the Seder. Drawing on the teachings of R. Tzaddok HaKohein, we explore a very different approach. The presence of this child at the table is itself a sign of hope. Questions and doubts are not enemies of faith — they are invitations to conversation. We also share a remarkable story from the first Jewish prayer service in Buchenwald, just days after the end of World War II, which reveals what it truly means to respond to doubt with sensitivity and compassion. In this series, Unlocking the Haggadah, we uncover the hidden structure of the Haggadah so that each paragraph leads logically to the next - transforming the Seder from a confusing collection of texts into a thoughtful and meaningful conversation. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

Raffaella Cargnelutti"Alla gentilezza di chi la raccoglie"Dall'inferno di Buchenwald una storia veraBottega Errante Edizioniwww.bottegaerranteedizioni.itAlla gentilezza di chi la raccoglie è la frase che Giulio Cargnelutti riesce a scrivere con un lapis di fortuna sulla busta della lettera, prima di lanciarla dal vagone che lo sta portando in Germania. Il tenente, catturato dalle SS il 20 luglio 1944 a Tolmezzo, vuole informare la giovane moglie e i suoi cari, completamente all'oscuro di quanto gli sta accadendo. Il suo sarà un viaggio lunghissimo che lo porterà nei carri bestiame piombati sino al campo di Buchenwald dove trascorrerà nove mesi come deportato politico, senza possibilità di ricevere pacchi e corrispondenza. Una storia vera scritta dalla figlia, che ci racconta la tragica esperienza vissuta in un lager da suo padre, ma che vuole anche farci scoprire che si può affrontare l'inferno grazie all'amore, alla fede, all'arte e, in ultimo, al perdono.Raffaella Cargnelutti, critica e storica dell'arte, nonché narratrice, vive a Tolmezzo (UD). Esordisce in narrativa con Il ritratto di Maria (Kappavu Editore, Udine, 2010). Nel 2011, con l'Editore Antiquità, pubblica Viandante sul mare di nebbia, racconto ispirato al quadro di Caspar David Friedrich.

Bea Lurie is the daughter of two child Holocaust survivors, her father, Sol, and her mother, Evelyn Rebecca Lurie, whose parents escaped from Poland with two toddlers. Bea learned by her parents' actions the importance of helping those in need and devoted her career to making a difference in the lives of others as a leader of nonprofit organizations and government agencies, and as an owner of two businesses. Bea also is an active volunteer in her community and at her local synagogue. LIFE MUST GO On is the remarkable story of Sol Lurie, a child survivor of six concentration camps during the Holocaust, who continues to be a beacon of hope. After a bucolic childhood in Kovno, Lithuania, Sol was just eleven when the Nazis invaded and he and his family were forced to move into the Kovno Ghetto. The Kovno Ghetto was one of the only ghettos to later become a concentration camp, and Sol was among just a few Jewish survivors from Kovno. In this inspiring story of tenacity, character, faith, love, and forgiveness, we follow young Sol through heartbreak and fear, torment, and torture. Through Sol's eyes, we learn the history of the communities in Eastern Europe, especially Lithuania, which has in the wider history of the Holocaust. Along the way, we meet the righteous few who helped save young Sol's life. After being imprisoned in six other concentration camps for a total of four years, Sol was liberated from Buchenwald on his 15th birthday. To this day, he still joyfully celebrates every year the day he was born and liberated. Miraculously, Sol's three brothers and his father also survived the Holocaust. Her inspiring story was written with Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs, also a child of survivors and genocide scholar.

Bienvenue dans Les Fabuleux Destins. Dans cet épisode, nous allons vous parler de celle qu'on surnomme la sorcière de Buchenwald. Elle est la femme d'un commandant SS.

Une découverte insoutenable Le 11 avril 1945, le 37e bataillon de chars de la 4e division américaine débarque à Buchenwald. À mesure qu'ils avancent, ils se retrouvent dans l'hôpital du camp. Très vite, ils font face à une vision cauchemardesque. La salle est remplie d'instruments de torture, mais surtout de préparations anatomiques. Les américains sont abattus face à l'inhumanité qui s'est déroulée ici.  Des objets macabres sont exposés dans des vitrines. Les soldats y trouvent des peaux tatouées, arrachées à des détenus.

As our show aired Erev Yom Kippur, we again presented excerpts of our past interviews on The Yiddish Voice/דאָס ייִדישע קול with Holocaust survivors who died during the past year. Since our previous episode, we’ve lost Ben Lesser, who died the first day of Rosh Hashona, so we were unable to include this in our previous week’s show. The remainder of the show is a repeat of the previous week’s show. Ben Lesser (died September 23, 2025, age 96) - Ben was a Holocaust Survivor, Author, Lecturer, and visionary founder of The ZACHOR Holocaust Remembrance Foundation. He was known around the world for his courageous testimony, tireless advocacy and unwavering commitment to education and remembrance. Born in Krakow, Poland in 1928 to Shari Segal and Lazar Leser. Ben was the second youngest of five children, Moshe Leser, Lola Lieber-Schwartz, Goldie Leser and baby brother Naphtali Leser. At age ten his life as a boy was forever changed. He endured four concentration camps, a seven-week death march, and two death trains, one of which was the notorious ill-fated death train from Buchenwald to Dachau where of the 6,000 inmates that walked on, only 18 walked off. Ben was the last living survivor from that train. We reached him by Zoom on Apr. 17, 2023. Originally aired April 19, 2023.

How do the tears of our ancestors guide our prayers today? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbanit Shalhevet Cahana prepare for Rosh Hashanah through the lens of Parshat Netzavim and the holiday's Torah readings. They explore the sound of the shofar as both coronation and weeping, and how the Torah highlights the tears of women—Sarah, Chana, and Rachel—as models of prayer. Against the backdrop of October 7 and its aftermath, they ask what it means to cry in a way that leads to resilience, protest, and hope. This Rosh Hashana podcast is sponsored by Ricki and Dr. David I. Bernstein in memory of Ricki's parents, Beatrice and Murray Kirschblat z”l, survivors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, respectively. Beatrice and Murray were each the sole survivors of large families which perished in the Shoah.

This summer marks 80 years since the end of World War II when Allied forces liberated Nazi-occupied Europe, and also began to discover the horrific scale of the Holocaust. An estimated six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime.With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer survivors who can tell the stories of what they witnessed and endured. Once fringe ideas of Holocaust denial are spreading. Multiple members of President Donald Trump's administration have expressed support for Nazi sympathizers and people who promote antisemitism.The stories of those who lived through the Holocaust are in danger of being forgotten. And there's a race against time to record as many as possible.In this episode, the story of a Jewish man who survived Buchenwald and an American soldier, who helped liberate the concentration camp.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
