I tider av politisk oro ropas det ofta på mer historieundervisning i skolorna. Men vägen till ett bättre samhälle är en annan, skriver Eva-Lotta Hultén. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-10-12.–Lyd inte i förväg.–Håll yrkesetiken högt.–Akta dig för paramilitärer.När Donald Trump vann det amerikanska presidentvalet 2016 satte sig historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder och skrev pamfletten ”Om tyranni. Tjugo lärdomar från tjugonde århundradet”. Uppmaningarna jag inledde med är några av rubrikerna i boken, som är skriven till ett du, i ett land vars demokratiska berggrund börjat vittra. Trump nämns då och då, men de tjugo uppmaningarna är relevanta överallt där antidemokratiska krafter hotar.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolornaReferenserna till andra världskriget är många, liksom till kommunistdiktaturerna i de forna östländerna. Timothy Snyder varnar bland annat för att tolka demagogers utsagor välvilligt: säger de att de tänker underminera de demokratiska institutionerna eller krossa mediefriheten så är det just vad de kommer att göra. Börjar de avhumanisera och hota grupper av människor så finns det ingen anledning att tro att de egentligen menar något annat.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolorna och mer historisk kunskap bland politiker och allmänhet. Med bättre vetskap om hur illa det gått förr ska insikter komma om vilken farlig väg fascism, nazism, rasism eller kommunism är och vi ska börja gör motstånd. Men fungerar det verkligen? Gör en tankeövning: Är det brist på historiekunskaper som får nazister att hata judar? Skulle de hata mindre om de fick mer kunskaper om förintelsen?Filosofen Friedrich Hegel sa att av historien lär vi att vi inget lär av historien. En klatschigt cynisk formulering som fått stor spridning. Massor av människor har förvisso med historiekunskaper fått nya insikter om både det ena och det andra men det Hegel avsåg att säga var naturligtvis att kunskap om vad som hänt förr inte räcker som vaccin mot att låta dåliga saker ske igen.Vi måste inte bara förstå hur ett totalitärt samhälle växer fram, vi måste också ha värderingar som säger oss att förtryck och utnyttjande av andra är fel, och vi behöver förmåga att se vad det är som händer medan det händer. Historien upprepar sig nämligen aldrig exakt, vilket gör att vi alltid, som en försvarsmekanism, kan klamra oss fast vid skillnaderna som räddningsplankor eller ursäkter för att blunda.Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss...Utöver humanistiska värderingar och klarsynthet behöver vi förmåga, civilkurage och självförtroende nog att tänka och handla självständigt. I en stor studie intervjuade de båda forskarna Samuel Oliner och Pearl Oliner hundratals personer som räddat judar under andra världskriget. De visade att många som ingriper och hjälper andra har gemensamma drag: stark medkänsla och förmåga att känna samhörighet med alla sorters människor, ansvarskänsla, känsla för rättvisa och förmåga att se hur de själva kan påverka. De hade vuxit upp med föräldrar som agerat goda förebilder och framhållit värdet av empati och engagemang snarare än av prestationer. Föräldrarna hade resonerat kring rätt och fel, sällan eller aldrig straffat sina barn och uppmärksammat dem på vad som händer i omvärlden och på de orättvisor som drabbade vissa grupper av människor.Allt detta går att åstadkomma också inom skolans ramar. Filosofen Stephen Law har i boken ”The war for childrens minds” visat hur man kan lära barn självständigt tänkande och handlade genom att i gruppdiskussioner träna sådant som att avslöja och ifrågasätta det som tas för givet, upptäcka och diagnosticera felaktiga slutledningar, uttrycka åsikter klart och koncist, se saker ur andras synvinkel och ifrågasätta sina egna känslor eller det rätta i att agera utifrån dem. Socialpsykologen Ervin Staub har i sin tur gjort en rad experiment som visar på betydelsen av foten-i-dörren-fenomenet. Den som en gång börjat hjälpa andra fortsätter. Får vi alltså, genom skolan eller arbetsplatsen, smak för att förbättra livet för andra så är chansen mycket stor att vi sedan fortsätter av egen kraft.Timothy Snyders pamflett påminner mig om en annan professors skrift, statsvetaren Gene Sharps ”From dictatorship to democracy”, där han med utgångspunkt i ett helt livs forskning om totalitära system, motstånd och icke-våld beskriver hur man bäst kan omvandla en diktatur till en demokrati. Liksom Snyder kombinerar han, på det mest sympatiska vis, djupa och vida kunskaper i historia med ett humanistiskt patos och ett uppfordrande tilltal.Gene Sharps bok skrevs på efterfrågan av dissidenter i Burma på 90-talet men eftersom Sharp inte kände till de specifika omständigheterna just där, skrev han en så allmänt hållen bok att den kommit att användas i många, vitt skilda, länder sedan dess. Gene Sharp förklarar att användning av våld är att möta övermakten där den är som starkast, och därmed riskera stora förluster till ingen nytta, eller i värsta fall med ännu större repression som följd. Skulle man trots allt vinna är våldet sedan ofta inbyggt också i den nya maktens regim. Underminera i stället makten genom aktivism, uppbyggnad av alternativa, demokratiska organisationer, civil olydnad och samarbete med andra olydiga och planera maktskiftet noga, uppmuntrar Sharp. Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss, att se andra i ögonen och visa välvilja, att uppmuntra andra som kanske är modigare eller att bära en symbol för motstånd på sina kläder.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som skerHistoria är ett viktigt ämne – men den tro som finns på historiekunskaper i sig som frälsning från förtryck, krig, folkmord eller odemokratiskt styre är felaktig. Inte ens historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder själv tycks ha kunnat dra nytta av sina kunskaper när det verkligen gällde. I baksidestexten till hans bok kan man läsa att han var övertygad om att USA skulle välja Hillary Clinton till president. Han missade alltså de tecken som pekade åt ett annat håll. Kanske på grund av önsketänkande. Vi människor är ju inte rationella, vi gör oss själva blinda för saker vi inte vill se. Det gäller historieprofessorer såväl som alla andra.Det går alldeles utmärkt att tänka sig en människa helt utan kunskaper i historia, som utifrån humanistiska värderingar, uppövad handlingsförmåga och kunskaper i psykologi framgångsrikt tar upp kampen mot förtryck och våld. Det går lika bra att föreställa sig en spränglärd historieprofessor som missar att agera när det verkligen gäller.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som sker och lär oss förstå hur det mänskliga psyket fungerar, och i alla tider har fungerat under tryck från auktoritära eller suggestiva och antidemokratiska ledare; då vi kommer i nya och okända situationer eller då vi hamnar i sammanslutningar som utvecklar ett starkt och destruktivt grupptänkande. Allra viktigast är den historia som ger oss exempel på hur man framgångsrikt kan göra motstånd och hjälpa utsatta medmänniskor. Bara så blir historiekunskaper ett skydd mot de krafter som vill underminera demokratin.Eva-Lotta Hultén, journalist och författare LitteraturTimothy Snyder, Om tyranni.

The former President of Myanmar seems to have disappeared inside the country's prison system. Now her son has an impassioned plea, demanding 'proof' of life. Kim Aris, the son of detained Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, has not heard from his mother since 2023. Kim contests the international media's narrative that his mother betrayed the Rohingya so she could keep the military junta on side.Recently in Australia, he has launched a global fitness and solidarity campaign called the 81 for 81 challenge. It's part of the growing international demand for Myanmar to provide 'proof of life' that the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is still alive.Guest Kim Aris, son of Aung San Suu KyiGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Episode #552: Mon Mon Myat, a journalist, filmmaker, and peace scholar, frames Myanmar's political struggle as a long contest over power, moral discipline, and the possibility of change without domination. Her account begins with U Hpo Hlaing, the nineteenth-century thinker she calls “a kind of very early political theorist in Myanmar,” and moves toward Aung San Suu Kyi, whose politics she sees as part of the same search for accountable authority. For Mon Mon Myat, U Hpo Hlaing matters because he complicates the idea that democracy arrived in Myanmar only through Western influence. He studied Western parliamentary systems, but tried to translate them into Burmese moral and Buddhist terms, creating what she calls “Burma-native democracy.” His work was not a full modern system, but it offered a principle: rulers must be bound by ethical restraint, not merely by power. Aung San Suu Kyi, in Mon Mon Myat's view, widened that principle. She did not speak only to rulers, but to citizens. Through speeches, radio broadcasts, and years of nonviolent resistance, she helped Mon Mon Myat understand politics as personal responsibility. “Politics had nothing to do with me,” she says of her younger self, before Aung San Suu Kyi's example changed her sense of what citizenship required. That is why nonviolence remains central to Mon Mon Myat's reading. She knows it is slow and costly, but argues that armed struggle leaves wounds across society, while nonviolence risks the masses less than others. The post-coup conflict has only deepened her fear of trauma that may last for generations. Her defense of Aung San Suu Kyi during the Rohingya crisis rests on a difficult distinction. Mon Mon Myat does not present her as flawless. She insists that Aung San Suu Kyi was a politician trying to hold together a fragile country, preserve civilian rule, and avoid further conflict under military pressure. Critics saw silence. Mon Mon Myat sees constraint, calculation, and a refusal to inflame communal violence. The hope she still holds is narrow but persistent: that Myanmar's future depends not only on removing military rule, but on whether power can be morally restrained before it consumes everything around it.

Win Ko Ko Aung was born in Burma (Myanmar) in 1993 and grew up under military rule, shaped by a country still reeling from the 1987 overnight demonetization that wiped out his parents' generation's savings. A tech entrepreneur and youth educator, he entered the Bitcoin space in 2019 as a way to preserve economic energy in a country with few reliable financial options. When the 2021 military coup froze the bank accounts of activists and democracy supporters, including his own, his Bitcoin holdings remained untouchable and became his lifeline out of the country. He crossed the jungle from Burma into Thailand without a passport, eventually reaching the United States as a political refugee. Today he works at the Human Rights Foundation, where he has taken part in educating over 1,400 activists and journalists worldwide on Bitcoin, financial freedom, and privacy tools. Win shares how financial oppression operates as a weapon of authoritarian control and why Bitcoin is the most important human rights technology of the 21st century. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Have you ever picked up a piece of antique jewelry and wondered how it got there? Behind every brooch, ring, or sapphire in a boutique window is a network of specialists: historians, gemologists, goldsmiths, appraisers, lapidaries, and dealers, each playing a role in the journey from discovery to display case. In this episode, Matthew Weldon of Courtville Antiques breaks down the ecosystem of the antique jewelry trade, explaining who does what, how the roles connect, and what a typical week actually looks like across the industry. Whether you already work in the trade or are considering entering it, this episode offers a candid guide to the many career paths within antique jewelry. Drawing on his own background, from studying gemology at the GIA to running Courtville and working alongside his family's auction house, Matthew gives an honest picture of each role's rewards and risks. From spotting overlooked treasures to the tension of handing a six-carat Burma sapphire to a lapidary, the episode makes the case that there is a place in this business for many different skill sets. Key Takeaways • Antique jewelry passes through many hands before reaching a buyer, often involving researchers, gemologists, appraisers, goldsmiths, and dealers. • Gemologists identify and assess stones scientifically, while appraisers combine those findings with market data to produce legal valuations for insurance, probate, or resale. • Skilled lapidaries are increasingly rare, creating challenges for businesses dealing with valuable antique stones. • Auctions and private sales operate differently: auctions are strictly “as is,” while private dealers are bound by consumer protections and guarantees. • Content creation has become a legitimate route into the industry, with creators and journalists building careers around shows, auctions, and trade coverage. • Matthew's philosophy on consignment is simple: if you would not buy a piece yourself, you should not expect someone else to. Quotes “On average here in Courtville, I would say we would look at between three and four thousand pieces of jewelry a week... How many pieces do we buy? On average, I'd say we're buying one to two percent of the pieces that we'd see.” — 27:23 “If you lose a piece of antique jewelry, you might have to source lots of different antique stones... You'll also have to get a jeweller to hand make the piece.” — 8:38 “Never a more accurate phrase than measure twice, cut once.” — 22:54 Resources • GIA (Gemological Institute of America) • Gem-A, London • Wartsky's, London • Courtville Antiques — www.courtville.ie • Miami Beach Antique Show • Jewelry, Objects and Antique Show, New York • Galerie Apollon, The Louvre • The Smithsonian • The V&A • Musée des Arts Modernes, Paris • L'École Van Cleef & Arpels Socials & Contact Instagram: @gempursuitpod Instagram: @courtvilleantiques TikTok: @matthew.weldon Email: info@gempursuit.com Selected Timestamps (1:56) Why careers in antique jewelry matter (4:48) Gemologist (8:00) Types of valuation (14:19) Goldsmith and restoration (18:45) Lapidary and diamond cutter (26:50) Antique jewelry dealer (32:05) Auctions vs private market (40:50) Content creator and jewelry journalist (44:10) Museum and curatorial roles (45:16) Jewelry designer www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

David Eubank calls himself a missionary soldier. A former US Special Forces soldier, he is now an ordained Christian Reverend and founder of the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian group working in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones. He prays before missions, runs towards gunfire, rescues the wounded, and says love is what keeps him there. But David's story is also morally complicated. He has carried dying children from battlefields. He has watched friends and colleagues die. And he has killed. Rajeev Gupta speaks to David about what it means to follow Jesus in a firefight. David reflects on his upbringing as a missionary child in Thailand, his years in the US military, and the call that took him into Burma's long-running civil war. He describes the moments when his faith and a desire for revenge came into conflict. But how does David know he is on the right side? How does he justify taking his wife and children into war zones? And how does he keep believing in God after seeing so much suffering? This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

Myanmar ist einer der wichtigsten Lieferanten der Welt für Seltene Erden. Die werden zum Beispiel für die Produktion von Elektroautos und Wärmepumpen gebraucht – auch von deutschen Unternehmen. Doch für die Menschen im angrenzenden Thailand ist der Bergbau eine Katastrophe: Flüsse in der Region sind von Schwermetallen verseucht.

ரமணி நாடகக் குழுவில் வேலை செய்யும் ஒரு சுட்டிச் சிறுவன். மதுரநாயகம் அந்த நாடக சபையை நடத்தி வரும் கண்டிப்பான மேலாளர். இவர்கள் இருவருக்கும் இடையே நடக்கும் அந்த ஒரு நிமிடப் பரபரப்பு ரமணியின் தலையெழுத்தையே மாற்றப் போகிறது. ஒரு சிறிய நாடக மேடையில் தொடங்கிய இந்தச் சிறுவனின் பயணம், கடல் கடந்து பர்மா வரை எப்படிச் சென்றது? #tamilbooks #kidsstory #azhavalliyappa #burmaramani #deepikaarun #chittukuruvi #tamilpodcast #tamilaudiobookstory

Zwei Menschen im Wandel: Daniela Brunner-Gmür trifft an ihrem letzten Tag als Gemeindspräsidentin von Kaltbrunn/SG auf Hanspeter Krüsi, der nach der Pension seiner Passion nachgeht und als Komiker auf der Bühne steht. Daniela Brunner-Gmür Am Tag ihres Besuches im «Persönlich» endet auch die Amtszeit von Daniela Brunner. Während gut 6 Jahren präsidierte sie die Gemeindeexekutive, als erste Frau in der Gemeinde Kaltbrunn. Aufgewachsen ist Daniela Brunner im Oberstufen-Schulhaus von Kaltbrunn, ihre Eltern waren als Hauswart-Ehepaar bei der Schule in Kaltbrunn tätig. Der enge Familienzusammenhalt hat sie geprägt, Skifahren und wandern standen ebenso auf dem Programm, wie die aktiven Teilnahmen in Dorfvereinen. Die gelernte Zahnarztgehilfin fand in jungen Jahren zum Journalismus, zuerst als Redaktionsassistentin einer Lokalzeitung, dann als Lokaljournalistin. Nach ihrer Ausbildung zum Presse- und Informationsoffizier diente sie für die Schweizer Armee im Kosovo. Dort begleitete sie Journalistinnen und Journalisten bei ihren Recherchen und Berichterstattungen. Danach arbeitete sie 8 Jahre in der Kommunikation bei der Schweizer Armee. Am Eidgenössischen Schwing- und Älplerfest in Mollis 2025 unterstütze sie das Medienteam. Ausserdem liess sie sich in Gerontologie aus- und weiterbilden. Nach ihrer Zeit als Gemeindepräsidentin wird Daniela Brunner eine regionale Informations- und Beratungsstelle für die Region Zürichsee-Linth bei der Spitex aufbauen. ________________________________________ Hanspeter Krüsi Hanspeter Krüsi ist überzeugt: «Humor hilft über vieles hinweg». Seit vergangenem Herbst ist der gebürtige Appenzell Ausserrhoder pensioniert. Insgesamt verbrachte er über 43 Jahre bei der Polizei. Nach der Ausbildung zum Konditor besuchte er 1983 die Polizeischule in Zürich und arbeite dort während acht Jahren. Anschliessend war er in Appenzell Ausserrhoden als Kantonspolizist tätig, bevor er 2009 in den Kanton St. Gallen wechselte und dort die Funktion des Polizeisprechers und Kommunikationschef übernahm. In dieser Funktion stand er rund um die Uhr als Dienstleister für Medien und Bevölkerung im Dienst. Mit dem Wechsel zur Kantonspolizei St. Gallen musste Hanspeter Krüsi sich von seinem grossen Hobby verabschieden – die Polizeisprecherarbeit war aus Sicht des Arbeitgebers nicht mit seinem Hobby als Komiker vereinbar. Nach seiner Pension kehrte Hanspeter Krüsi wieder zurück auf die Bühne und unterhält an Privatanlässen, Seniorennachmittagen, Firmenfeiern und Konzerten. Auf seinen Reisen nach Thailand, Sumatra, Burma und weiteren asiatischen Ländern, hat er die fernöstlichen Traditionen kennen- und schätzen gelernt. Hanspeter Krüsi wurde für seine Medienarbeit mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Im Jahr 2023 belegte er den zweiten Platz im Gesamtranking der Mediensprechenden des Landes und wurde als bester Polizeisprecher ausgezeichnet. Im letzten Jahr erreichte er den dritten Platz im Ranking des Fachmagazins «Schweizer Journalist:in». _________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler ____________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

As U.S. President Donald Trump flew home from Beijing after meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping, we recorded this timely VOM Radio conversation with Bob Fu, founder and president of China Aid, to provide a current update about our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in China. Chinese Christians are facing a new criminal charge for training up children in God's Word. Such Christians were recently charged with violating the "administrative management law." The government alleges these Christians are training children to undermine the government; authorities see teaching the Bible as a national security violation. Bob also provides an update on 18 Zion church members arrested in recent months. The lawyers representing the accused Christians were forced to leave, shutting down their law firm and intimidating other attorneys from defending Christians. Bob will provide updates to help you pray for Pastors John Cao and Wang Yi. He will share current news, including a cancer diagnosis, and how they continue to serve the Lord despite government control and imprisonment. You'll hear more about China's social credit system and how it is affecting believers' ability to travel, spend money, and gather together. China is continuing to export oppressive surveillance technology to places like Iran, Burma, and Vietnam, and we already see Chinese tactics being implemented in other countries. Bob Fu is the author of God's Double Agent (affiliate link). He says a new edition of the book is in progress, including updates on the situation for Christians in China since Xi Jinping rose to top leadership in the country. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China, and India, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films. Download the VOM App for your iOS or Android device today.

Is it Burma, or is it Myanmar? Did its former leader Aung San Suu Kyi bring democratic reform or did she commit genocide? Both? Chris Milligan, former Agency Counselor for USAID, highlights breathtaking human resilience and the strategic value of foreign assistance.

Jeremy Yellen's The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere: When Total Empire Met Total War (Cornell University Press, 2019) is a challenging transnational exploration of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan's ambitious, confused, and much maligned attempt to create a new bloc order in East and Southeast Asia during World War II. Yellen's book is welcome both as the first book-length treatment of the Sphere in English and for also being innovative in both approach and analysis. The book is divided into two parts, each addressing one of the “two Pacific Wars,” as Yellen puts it: a “war of empires” and “an anticolonial war… for independence.” The first half of the book treats the Japanese “high policy” of the Sphere. Here, Yellen not only provides—through the Coprosperity Sphere—a provocative new reading of the Tripartite Pact and the imbrication of Japan's regional and global geopolitical strategies, but also outlines an important timeline of how Japanese conceptualizations of the Sphere evolved with the changing economic, political, and military expediencies of the Pacific War. Though ideas about the Sphere as a regional order of hierarchical solidarity with Japan at its apex, a “grand strategy of opportunism” rooted in the “sphere-of-influence diplomacy” and “cooperative imperialism” of Japan's bombastic and enigmatic foreign minister, Matsuoka Yōsuke, Yellen shows that plans for the Sphere only became specific and concrete when Japan's war situation descended into increasing desperation from 1942 on. The second half of the book shifts gears to examine responses to the Sphere in the Philippines and Burma. Yellen shows that for local nationalist elites like Burma's first prime minister Ba Maw, whether Japanese rhetoric about the creation of more-or-less liberal international order within the Sphere for the top-echelon nations like Burma and the Philippines was genuine or self-serving, “even sham independence brought opportunity.” By focusing on these pragmatic nationalists (“patriotic collaborators”) Yellen contributes to a growing body of literature on empire that refuses to be pigeonholed by binaries of virtuous resistance and traitorous collaboration.

James Holland is one of the greatest WWII historians alive, and his new book should be on the desk of every world leader. We get into the three decisions that built the entire postwar order, and why dismantling them might be the biggest mistake of our lifetime. James Holland, one of WWII's finest historians, is the co-author of Victory '45, and author of Cassino '44, The Savage Storm, Brothers in Arms, Sicily '43, Normandy '44, Big Week, The Rise of Germany, and The Allies Strike Back in The War in the West trilogy, Burma '44, and Dam Busters. He has written and presented the BAFTA shortlisted documentaries Battle of Britain and Dam Busters for the BBC, and his WWII podcast, “We Have Ways of Making You Talk,” now has millions of listeners. He is the founder of the annual Chalke Valley History Festival, and I am proud to attend again this year. I love James Holland, and his new book (OUT TODAY), The Visionaries: Bretton Woods, the Marshall Plan, and the Making of the Post-World War II Order, does not disappoint and is critical at this time. Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio. Pre-order my next book, All the Wrong Moves: How Three Catastrophic Decisions Led to the Rise of Trump, out on the 17th of September in the UK and the 22nd of September in the US: ⁠https://www.scaramucci.net/allthewrongmoves Here is what James Holland had to say about my new book, All The Wrong Moves: "All the Wrong Moves is a profound, compelling, and deeply thought-provoking book. Drawing on the past centuries of America's rich history, this is a story filled with razor-sharp analysis, wisdom, and pragmatic common sense. Authoritative, incisive, often disturbing, but ultimately offering a path for redemption, it needs to be read by as wide an audience as possible." ―James Holland, author of Normandy '44 Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode #538: The fifth episode in our five-part series features conversations recorded at the 16th International Burma Studies Conference at Northern Illinois University, where scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners gathered under the theme Dealing with Legacies in Burma. Held in the midst of political upheaval and humanitarian crisis, the conference offered a rare space for open exchange, collective reflection, and connection. Insight Myanmar was welcomed into this setting to record dialogues with a diverse range of attendees, produced in collaboration with NIU's Center for Southeast Asian Studies. With these episodes, we hope to bring listeners into the atmosphere of the gathering and into conversation with the people who continue to shape the field today. Khaing Wai Wai Zaw taught English in Myanmar for eight years, and went to Northern Illinois University for a higher degree in her field. But she also became a research assistant there cataloging artifacts, in particular 228 rare, scared sasi jo ribbons. While having no qualifications in this area, she relied on her Buddhist literacy and background to interpret inscriptions, andensure they have a safe home at the NIU library, at least until her country regains its stability. She also reflects on the political crisis in Myanmar and wrestles with the role monks should play, balancing her own reluctance to criticize with her belief in social responsibility. “I'm a totally different person when I get on stage.” With this feeling, Karen dancer and community leader Hsa Win reflects on how dance preserves his identity. He grew up in a refugee camp in Thailand after his family fled Burma, and later moved to the U.S. Wanting to educate others about his Karen heritage, he began performing traditional dances at community events. Hedescribes competitions, bamboo dances, and the spiritual dances of the thirty-seven nat spirits. Onstage, he feels confident and transformed, adopting the personalities of the spirits he portrays, and American audiences are enthusiastic. He now lives in Ohio, where he teaches dance to Karen youth to help them “embrace their identity” and keep their culture alive. Researcher and artist Ni Ni Win describes how Burmese marionettes have become a powerful link to her identity now that she lives in America. She explains that puppetry developed to portray particularly sacred Jataka Tales that humans were not permitted to depict. Under royal patronage, puppet shows became very popular; the marionettes conveyed religious teachings, history, and even political concerns, since civilians sometimes asked puppeteers to voice criticisms through the puppets. This art form declined when the monarchy was dismantled by the British, and then as other forms of entertainment became increasingly popular. Amy also draws inspiration from pagoda engravings, known as gnot patterns, which are used on traditional Burmese textiles as well. Living abroad has increased her appreciation for these traditions, which help her stay connected to her homeland.

David Mathis explores why physical exercise matters for Christians in light of God's sovereignty and the gospel. He introduces Adoniram Judson, one of America's most significant figures, who was the nation's first commissioned missionary and spent nearly 40 years in Burma. Judson's life demonstrates how physical health and endurance enabled him to persevere in missionary work and kingdom purpose. Mathis connects the physical discipline of exercise to the broader spiritual realities of God's rule over all things. Steward your physical body as part of your overall commitment to God's purposes in the world. Topics: Christian exercise, Physical health, Missions, Endurance, Stewardship

Welcome back to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. In this week's episode, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper tell the remarkable story of Bert Trautmann — the former Nazi paratrooper who became Manchester City's beloved goalkeeper and an unlikely symbol of Anglo-German reconciliation. 70 years on from the legendary 1956 FA Cup final, Wilson and Draper trace Trautmann's extraordinary journey: from Hitler Youth member and fighting on the Eastern Front, to prisoner of war in England, to the man who played on with a broken neck at Wembley. They examine his teenage indoctrination, the atrocity he witnessed, that shattered his faith in Nazism and the 25,000 protesters at Maine Road. Along the way, they explore the brutal treatment of goalkeepers in this era and how three successive cup final incidents began to change the game's laws. Finally, they reflect on how a flawed, charismatic man became the perfect bridge between two nations.00:00 Jimmy Ashcroft and the Goalkeeper's Lot06:30 Hitler Youth — Trautmann's Indoctrination12:45 The Eastern Front19:20 Witnessing the SS Massacre25:00 Captured Three Times — Soviets, Americans, and a Cup of Tea27:10 Prisoner of War and the Accidental Goalkeeper34:50 Staying in England 42:15 25,000 Protesters48:00 Winning Over Manchester53:40 The 1956 FA Cup Final — Playing On with a Broken Neck58:10 The Dangerous Life of the Goalkeeper01:03:20 Footballer of the Year and Personal Tragedy01:09:00 Burma, Women's Football, and an OBE01:14:30 The Perfect Symbol of Reconciliation Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Justine Walker sits down with Brad Brooks-Rubin, a leading expert in sanctions, illicit finance, and corruption to examine why gold — one of the world's oldest stores of value — has become a blind spot in modern sanctions and financial crime frameworks. Their conversation explores gold's central role in illicit finance, corruption, and the shortcomings of existing due-diligence and certification programs. Against a backdrop of intensifying geopolitical competition and evolving payment systems, they unpack what effective accountability, intelligence sharing, and sanctions strategy could look like when confronting high‑risk commodities like gold. Brad Brooks-Rubin focuses on the intersection of different types of risks – sanctions, corruption, money laundering, political, and human rights. Most recently, Brad was a Senior Advisor in the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the U.S. Department of State, where he was responsible for sanctions policy coordination related to sub-Saharan Africa, Burma, the West Bank, and natural resources, principally diamonds, gold, and timber.

Episode #533: “Before COVID-19 and before the Myanmar coup, I thought that ‘memory of war' meant only World War Two inside Myanmar. But after 2021, I realized for local people the condition is like a war now.”Hitoshi Kameyama, a Japanese photographer, first came to Burma in 2005 on a photography tour. Expecting a repressive environment, he was instead struck by the warmth and friendliness of local people. This impression drew him back repeatedly, and he eventually made more than 25 trips before the pandemic, building close ties by photographing villagers and returning later with prints for them.Myanmar's political opening after 2011 allowed greater freedom for photographers and journalists. While Japanese companies began investing, Kameyama focused on documenting memories of the Japanese occupation in World War Two. He was inspired by encounters with elderly villagers who recalled both suffering and small gestures of kindness from Japanese soldiers. In one case, a woman whose brother had been killed by soldiers still preserved a grenade and other wartime objects for decades, hoping they might be returned to Japan. Such stories led to his book Burma Myanmar Memories of War 2019–2024.The pandemic and the 2021 coup forced him to expand the project beyond historical memory. Unable to enter Myanmar, he traveled to India and Thailand, where refugees had fled. He visited Mae Sot clinics, schools, and camps, meeting displaced families and injured resistance fighters. His work began to connect past and present, showing how conflict continues to shape lives.Many of his images highlight this continuity: a child playing with a Japanese helmet, a tiny tank carried into Chin State by soldiers, ceremonies where survivors still gather to honor the dead, and a 2012 community meeting once seen as ordinary but later understood as a fleeting sign of democracy.Kameyama is critical of Japanese businesses that continue to operate in Myanmar, arguing that profits inevitably aid the junta. Reflecting on two decades of engagement, he stresses that personal bonds matter more than politics. As he put it, “It's important to me, this personal relationship with the Myanmar people.”

Today helicopters carry the firepower of an artillery battery and can strike deep behind every lines, flying day or night in any weather. But back in 1944 helicopters were a brand new technology. Aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky supplied the first primitive choppers to the US Army and four pilots were trained to fly the untested aircraft in the jungles of Burma. Carter Harman was one of those first courageous pilots and he performed the world's first helicopter combat rescue mission.  Learn more about your ad choices.

"I really wanted to know about the numinous. I went to Burma to sit with a master. I got my master's degree. I did all kinds of things looking to find out what happened. And then I came back to realize that yes, in fact, I knew — I touched death. I saw death." — Sally Dukes About This Episode Sally Dukes joins Mike to talk about her memoir, drummer girl: A Story of Life After Death. At age three, Sally underwent open-heart surgery to treat a congenital heart disorder — and during the procedure, she had a near-death experience that would shape the rest of her life. The nickname "drummer girl" came from the way her heart beat so loudly before the surgery. What follows is a lifelong pilgrimage — from New York to India to a forest monastery in Burma to a Greek island — all in search of understanding what happened in that operating room. It's a conversation about near-death experiences, the healing power of writing, resilience in the face of trauma, and the courage it takes to finally tell your own story. Key Takeaways 1. Writing has always been her voice. Sally describes herself as "not very verbal" — writing was always a better form of expression, from high school journals to the memoir itself. 2. A near-death experience at age three shaped her entire life. During open-heart surgery, Sally experienced a dark tunnel, a brilliant light, and an overwhelming feeling of love — an experience she spent decades trying to understand. 3. The surgeon's elephant became a powerful symbol. When young Sally's nightmares wouldn't stop, her surgeon drew an elephant on a yellow notepad and told her to hang it over her bed. The elephant — keeper of memories, remover of obstacles — became a recurring motif in her life and her book. 4. The memoir was built from a lifetime of journal entries. Sally's younger self gave her older self a gift — decades of writing that, when collated, all pointed to the same search for truth. 5. Resilience matters more than the trauma. Sally hopes readers focus not on the trauma in her story, but on the resilience — and on the message that death is nothing to fear. 6. You don't need to look outside yourself for answers. After traveling the world seeking confirmation of her experience, Sally ultimately realized she already knew her truth. 7. Writing the book was cathartic — and freeing. Sally describes the process as "coming clean" — finally sharing a story she'd never told anyone, and feeling liberated by it.

Despite sanctions and repeated condemnation against the Burmese military, the ruling junta continues to unleash brutal attacks against its own people, including religious minorities such as Muslim-majority Rohingya and Christian-majority Chin, Kachin, and Karen communities. Several global efforts to hold the Burmese military accountable through a variety of international legal mechanisms are now underway.On this episode of the USCIRF Spotlight podcast, Commissioner Stephen Schneck speaks with Tom Andrews, former Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, as well as Arsalan Suleman, a partner at Foley Hoag's International Litigation and Arbitration Practice. They focus their discussion on the ongoing case in the International Court of Justice which prosecutes the Burmese government's role in the Rohingya genocide.

The Burmese military maintains its grip over Burma through arson, arbitrary detentions, airstrikes, killings, and other forms of intimidation and violence to instill fear in its people, including ethnoreligious minorities such as Rohingya and Chin. The lack of justice for the junta's atrocities has deepened its resolve, yet Burmese people are seeking accountability through the legal principle of universal jurisdiction. On this episode of the USCIRF Spotlight podcast, Commissioner Stephen Schneck speaks with Tun Khin, President of the Burmese Rohingya Organization UK, and Salai Za Uk Ling, the Executive Director of the Chin Human Rights Organization. Their discussion centers on the principle of universal jurisdiction and how civil society organizations are seeking to prosecute responsible individuals through courts overseas for their part in ordering and carrying out genocide and crimes against humanity.

Much of this story depends on a book titled, A Personal Narrative of 2 Years Imprisonment in the Burman Prison, 1860 - Henry Gouger.

Have you ever felt such overwhelming joy that it surprised you? This week, Candace and Francis Chan talk about what it really looks and feels like to give from overflow, not obligation, and why the difference between those two starting places changes everything. Francis brings personal stories from Uganda, Ethiopia, and a village in Burma. He talks about watching women who had lived in the worst conditions imaginable graduate in caps and gowns, jumping for joy, and what it did to him to be a small part of that. He is honest about the tension too: about the times he has served from insecurity rather than fullness, and about what it means to feel pain deeply while also knowing genuine joy. Listener Cammie asks a real question: what do you do when you want to pursue God but can't find the motivation? Francis and Candace answer with something honest and practical, and a little convicting. What else is here? Some thoughts on fasting from Candace….and yes, Francis wants a role in a Christmas movie!
