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?

Send us Fan MailThe ancient town of Weimar looms large in German history; a crucible of democracy and dictatorship and home to Goethe, Liszt, Schiller and Nietzsche. 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. Weimar shows us a town and its people on the edge of catastrophe. Drawing on a wealth of new research acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the men and women who lived through the new republic and Hitler's regime.  An unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances, Weimar takes us deep into the heart of the story of a town that dreamt of a better world and woke up to tyranny.‘Katja Hoyer tracks the everyday acts of omission and concession in the face of ruthless wrong, showing how the compliant and the complacent ultimately undermine the brave.' - Neil McGregor. https://www.thewavesbookshop.com/@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

"[...] 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.

Tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het hy 'n leier van ‘n Franse Weerstandsbeweging geword. Hy is deur die Gestapo gearresteer en na Buchenwald gestuur, waar hy een van die min mense was, om, ten spyte van die wrede toestande, sy gevangeskap te oorleef. Sy blindheid het 'n geestelike lens geword waardeur sy insig, moed en deernis verskerp is.

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.

David E. Scherman et Lee Miller, Lee Miller dans la baignoire d’Hitler, Munich, 30 avril 1945 Photographe et modèle : Lee Miller fut les deux, et la très belle exposition que lui consacre le Musée d’art moderne témoigne de ce double statut puisque les images présentées sont tout autant des photos qu’elle réalisa que des photos où elle figure. Est en particulier exposée, vers la fin du parcours, la planche contact de la série de photographies que David E. Scherman et elle prirent, dans l’appartement munichois d’Adolf Hitler, le 30 avril ou peut-être le 1er mai 1945, jour ou lendemain du jour du suicide de Hitler, et notamment celle de ces photos où on l’on voit Lee Miller se laver dans la baignoire de cet appartement. La planche de contact Cette photo fut publiée dans Vogue, pour lequel elle travaillait, magazine qui publiera également, sous le titre Believe it, les terribles images de la libération des camps de Buchenwald et Dachau. C’est justement en revenant de Dachau et des horreurs qu’elle y avait vues que Lee Miller conçut, avec son acolyte David E. Scherman avec lequel elle couvrait, depuis l’été 1944, la libération de l’Europe ; c’est en revenant de Dachau que Lee Miller conçut la scène, la scène très mise en scène, du bain. Elle expliquera qu’il s’agissait d’abord pour elle de se laver, de se laver de la saleté et des atrocités vues et photographiées à Dachau. Et on aperçoit effectivement, au pied de la baignoire, la paire de rangers maculées qui laisse sa trace noirâtre sur le tapis de bain. À Dachau, comme quinze jours auparavant à Buchenwald, Lee Miller a vu des choses terribles qu’elle a eu le courage et le professionalisme de photographier et de documenter de façon précise et rigoureuse pour qu’elles ne soient pas contestables. Que David E. Schermann et elle éprouvent ensuite le besoin de se laver, de se purifier de ces choses vues, côtoyées, senties, touchées, qui pourrait en douter ? Mais la mise en scène dit plus, fait plus, et justifie le statut iconique de cette photographie. En la concevant, c’était bien un doigt d’honneur, un magnifique doigt d’honneur (two fingers up, comme ils disent en anglais) qui était, par delà le fleuve des enfers, adressé à Hitler. Il y a d’abord la démythification, brutale : qu’elle est petitement bourgeoise, banale, modeste, voire ridicule, cette salle de bain du dictateur, avec ses carreaux de céramique, les crèmes diverses que l’on devine à gauche sur le bord de la baignoire, cette brosse et ces trois porte-savons (pourquoi trois, pourquoi donc trois ?). Il y a, évidemment, le geste de victoire, le geste non de triomphe mais de mépris, de morgue du vainqueur qui occupe la place du vaincu et essuie ses bottes, ses bottes sales, sur le linge blanc de l’ancien maître. Il y a la revanche de la vie, la revanche de cette femme épanouie s’adonnant nue au plaisir simple du bain, sur la mort, la mort symbolisée par le portrait de cet homme engoncé dans son uniforme, cet homme mortifère qui était mort avant même que d’avaler sa capsule de cyanure. Il y a la revanche de la femme sur l’homme, de cette femme sensuelle aux formes arrondies sur ce masculin grotesque, rigide, aux gestes de pantin. Il y a enfin la revanche de la Belle, de la belle Lee sur la Bête, la Bête immonde et désormais crevée et qui n’aura plus jamais le plaisir de voir ou de faire cela parce que, malgré toute sa puissance, malgré tout le mal qu’elle fit, elle n’est désormais plus rien. Je me demande tout de même : comment a-t-elle fait, comment a-t-elle fait, elle qui voulait se laver des horreurs des camps, comment a-t-elle fait pour oser poser son corps nu dans cette baignoire maudite ? Pour cela aussi, pour concevoir, mettre en scène et oser jouer elle-même ce pied de nez, cet immense pied de nez à l’histoire, il en fallait, du cran. Je crois que, moi, je n’aurais jamais osé, de peur de salir mon corps sur cet email blanc ; de peur d’être infecté, de peur des cauchemars. Il existe plusieurs versions colorisées de l’image originale C’est une de ces versions colorisées qui a servi de base à la reprise de la scène dans un récent biopic ou Lee Miller est incarnée par Kate Winslet. La célébrité, méritée, de la photo du bain ne doit pas faire oublier le reste du travail de Lee Miller. Il y a, dans cette exposition, de très belles images.

How did Germany's cultural capital – home of the Bauhaus, Goethe, Schiller and the doomed inter-war experiment with democracy – also become one of Nazism's earliest strongholds and the location for the Buchenwald concentration camp? Why did the Weimar Republic fall? And can it really teach us how to hold back fascism in our time? Historian and journalist Katja Hoyer tells the story of the town and Germany through the lives of ordinary people in her riveting book Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe. She talks to Andrew Harrison about how Germany's beacon of culture became its heart of darkness – and the lessons of Weimar for today.  • Buy Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Berlin, août 1944. La ville est sous les bombes. Les immeubles s'effondrent, les sirènes hurlent, et le régime nazi vacille.
C'est dans ce chaos que s'ouvre Deux dans Berlin, la bande dessinée de Rodolphe et Louis Alloing, publiée chez Pictavia.Tout commence dans l'enfer du camp de Buchenwald. Un bombardement allié. La confusion. Et un homme, Ruprecht Haas, qui saisit sa chance. Il tue un gardien, franchit les barbelés et s'enfuit. Direction Berlin. Pas pour se cacher. Pour se venger.

Als die Alliierten am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs 1945 Orte wie Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen oder Buchenwald befreiten, stießen sie auf eine Hölle, die viele nie für möglich gehalten hatten. Soldaten, Kriegsberichterstatter und Mediziner, die als Erste die Lager betraten, sahen die schlimmsten Abgründe der Menschheit: fast verhungerte Überlebende, Leichenberge, die unfassbare Grausamkeit offenbarten.Besonders bekannt ist die Reaktion von Dwight D. Eisenhower, der nach der Befreiung von Ohrdruf zutiefst erschüttert war. Er befahl, die Gräuel zu dokumentieren, und zwang deutsche Zivilisten und Offiziere, die Lager zu besichtigen, um ihnen die grausame Realität ihres Regimes unmissverständlich vor Augen zu führen.So eine Situation erlebte auch der Prophet Hesekiel, als Gott ihm in einer Vision die tiefste Verderbnis seines Volkes offenbarte (Hesekiel 8) – einen Götzendienst, durchtränkt von ritueller Perversion, moralischem Verfall und schamloser Rebellion gegen den heiligen Gott. So ist es auch heute: Nach außen wird ein Stück weit der Schein gewahrt, aber im tiefsten Inneren des Herzens geschieht auf übelste Weise Abgötterei – mit schlimmen Folgen.Wie ermutigend ist es zu wissen, dass Jesus diese Abgründe bereits kennt, dass es nichts in unserem Leben gibt, das ihn abschrecken würde. Er kennt unsere dunkelsten Gedanken, unsere vernarbten Vergangenheiten, unsere geheimen Kammern des Götzendienstes, die niemand sieht. Jesus blickt täglich durch das Schlüsselloch unserer Seele und erschrickt nicht. Im Gegenteil, er bietet uns Vergebung und einen Neuanfang an. Timothy Keller sagte: »Das Evangelium lautet: Wir sind sündiger und fehlerhafter, als wir zu glauben wagten, und doch in Christus mehr geliebt und angenommen, als wir es je hofften.«Simon PaulsDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

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.

Welche Rolle spielte das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald für die DDR? Und welche Rolle spielt es für die gesamtdeutsche Erinnerung? Warum ist der Holocaust nach wie vor nicht in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen?

In ihrem Buch beschreibt Ines Geipel, wie im KZ Buchenwald deutsche Kommunisten an der Auswahl und Ermordung von Häftlingen beteiligt waren. In der DDR wurde Buchenwald aber bewusst zum Mythos des Antifaschismus verklärt.

Der Leiter der Buchenwald-Gedenkstätte Jens-Christian Wagner wehrt sich gegen eine politische Vereinnahmung des Buchenwald-Gedenkens. Und: Warum er für einen Auftritt von Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer plädiert.

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.

We wish all our cohosts, sponsors and friends a Happy and Kosher Pesach. מיר ווינטשן אַלע אונדזערע אונטערשטיצער, פֿרײַנד און באַטייליקטע אַ פֿריילעכן און כּשרן פּסח HIGHLIGHTS: We welcome back Rabbi Yitzchok-Boruch Teitelbaum, known in his Monroe, NY, community as der Pshischer Rebbe, for Pesach greetings and words of wisdom. We reached Rabbi Teitelbaum by phone at his home in Monsey, NY, on Mar. 25, 2026. We hear Holocaust survivor Joe Szwarcberg (יוסף שװאַרצבערג) tell his story of survival in his own words. Joseph Szwarcberg was born in 1930 in Kozienice, Poland. He survived the Holocaust, including Buchenwald, where he was liberated by the US Army on April 11, 1945. At age 17, he emigrated to Australia, where he built a life and was active in the “Buchenwald Boys,” a group originally comprised of 45 young survivors liberated on that same day.

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. Connue pour sa sexualité débridée et son sadisme envers les prisonniers, elle est devenue le diable en personne. Son nom : Ilse Koch. De son implication dans le régime nazi à la fin de sa vie, découvrez son sordide destin. 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. Des organes humains sous verre. Des têtes réduites, et un abat-jour qui semble être en peau humaine.  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Clémence Setti Production : Bababam (montage Gilles Bawulak, Antoine Berry Roger) Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
