On this edition of Parallax Views, recorded in May, a lengthy, almost 3 hour conversation with Yakov Hirsch. You can Yakov's writings at his new Substack here. Although Hirsch is perhaps best-known as professional poker player, he has in recent years began commenting on the psychology of what he calls "Hasbara Culture". Hasbara, for those unfamiliar, is more or less a term that means propaganda and apologia for the state of Israel. Hirsch's concept of hasbara culture, however goes far beyond that. He argues that prominent commentators in the U.S. like Bari Weiss, Eve Barlow, Brett Stephens, and The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg have come to internalize hasabara so much that it has become a culture, a mindset, an identity in and of itself that distorts reality in ways that are harmful to not only Palestinians but also Jews, both in Israel and abroad. Hirsch's thinking on these matters first came to prominence through and article he wrote for Tablet Magazine entitled "Hasbara Culture and the Curse of Bibi-ism". Although Tablet is a generally understood as a right-wing and adamantly pro-Israel publication, it nonetheless viewed 's commentary and thoughts on the concept of hasbara culture relevant and important. Hirsch argues that his examination of this hasbara culture is not about left-wing vs. right-wing or even pro-Israel vs. anti-Israel but instead an attempt to look at a phenomenon that is denying ground-level realities in favor of an alternate reality that exists only in the minds of its proponents. Among the topics discussed in this conversation are Benjamin Netanyahu as the embodiment of hasbara culture; sacred macho victimhood and victimhood discourses; Anti-Antisemitism; the Daniel Goldhagen vs. Christopher Browning debates on the Holocaust (Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners vs. Browning's Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland); Hannah Arendt and the trial of Adolf Eichmann; cognitive empathy and how it is shut down by hasbara culture; the ideology of hasbara culture; the Gaza War and Israel/Palestine; "Never Again" journalists; the "real world" vs. the "separate reality" of hasbara culture; the concept of betrayal in hasbara culture discourse; the Iran nuclear deal and Bibi-ist ideology; John Kerry's warning to Israel about needing to understand the perception of Palestinians; Peter Beinart's The Crisis of Zionism and the significance of Beinart's witnessing the tears of a Palestinian child in the West Bank crying out for his father; the pro-Palestinian protests happening across college campuses; hasbara culture's cultivation of narratives and tactics of agitation; Bill Maher vs. Bill Burr on Hamas, the Gaza War, and the youth; serious people vs. unserious people; the significance of Israeli politician Yair Golan; Ehud Barak's comments on Palestinians and how he'd probably have been a terrorist if he'd grown up as a young Palestinian; Netanyahu's holy war and the coming Jewish schism; pro-Netanyahu demonization of Barack Obama; "us vs. them" mentalities and narratives; the October 7th Hamas attack; the ADL's response to the BDS movement; the question of irrational hatreds vs. legitimate grievances; the "Whataboutism" arguments of hasbara culture discourse; the attacks on Jewish studies culture Derek Penslar, the embattled co-chair of the Harvard's antisemitism task force; the Israel lobby; the IHRA working definition of antisemitism; ethnocentricity and ethnocentrism;
Historian and author Christopher R. Browning joins Tim to talk about his study of the Holocaust and the “Final Solution” in Poland. In this episode, Christopher discusses his book, “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland” and how a group of otherwise average, everyday men turned into one of Hitler's most prolific killing squads in World War II. This episode was first released January 24, 2022. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/223_-_Ordinary_Men_Making_a_Kill_Squad.mp3 Long before the world heard the term “Holocaust” in connection with the Second World War, and even before the mass killing started, it all began with an atmosphere in Germany that supported the expelling of Jewish people from territories controlled by Hitler's Germany. At some point, instead of expulsion, the movement would turn into the mass executions of millions of Jews in places like Poland. Historian and author Christopher Browning wrote the landmark book on how such horrific events could take place. It's called “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland.” To set the stage for the larger story of the book, Browning tells us how it began. This passage is part of the opening chapter that book: “Pale and nervous, with choking voice and tears in his eyes, (Major) Trapp visibly fought to control himself as he spoke. The battalion, he said plaintively, had to perform a frightfully unpleasant task. This assignment was not to his liking, indeed it was highly regrettable, but the orders came from the highest authorities. If it would make their task any easier, the men should remember that in Germany the bombs were falling on women and children. He then turned to the matter at hand. The Jews had instigated the American boycott that had damaged Germany, one policeman remembered Trapp saying. There were Jews in the village of Jozefow who were involved with the partisans, he explained according to two others. The battalion had now been ordered to round up these Jews. The male Jews of working age were to be separated and taken to a work camp. The remaining Jews – the women, children, and elderly – were to be shot on the spot by the battalion. Having explained what awaited his men, Trapp then made an extraordinary offer: if any of the older men among them did not feel up to the task that lay before him, he could step out.” These were the major's comments to the battalion of mostly middle-aged men on the morning of July 13, 1942. They weren't Nazis. They weren't even members of the German army. They made up a police battalion of working-class men too old to serve in the army. Those men would round up and shoot 1,500 Jews in that Polish village on that one day. That battalion would eventually kill upwards of 83,000 captives during the war, making it one of the most efficient German killing squads in the war. But as the title of Christopher Browning's book suggests, before the war, he says these were considered Ordinary Men.

The Israel-Hamas war has provoked an angry, bitter debate over the meaning of genocide as partisans on both sides of the conflict invoke the memory of the Nazis and the Holocaust. The new Netflix documentary "Ordinary Men" -- based on the 1992 book of the same title by historian Christopher Browning -- may help place this use (or misuse) of history in its proper perspective. "Ordinary Men" confonts us with unsettling questions concerning humans' capacity to inflict cruelty on others. In this episode, historian Thomas Kuehne discusses the psychological aspects of mass murder and the difficulty in drawing comparisons between, for instance, Hamas and the Nazis.
On this edition of Parallax Views, renowned Holocaust historian and genocide scholar Dr. Omer Bartov, Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, joins the program to discuss the Gaza War and the question of genocide in relation to both the October 7th Hamas and the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. Other topics broached include: - The nature of the Occupation and how occupations effect both the occupied and the occupier; Israel/Palestine and fears of a second Nakba or ethnic cleansing of Palestinians - The Jewish parable of the Golem of Prague, the Israeli far-right as a Frankenstein's monster that must be deactivated, and the messianic, supremacist vision of figures like the Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir and violent settlers in the West Bank - The open letter Prof. Bartov and other scholars like Christopher Browning on the misuse of Holocaust memory; "An Open Letter on the Misuse of Holocaust Memory" (The New York Review of Books) - Will change happen when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's is out of office? - The UN definition of genocide; war crimes and crimes against humanity; disagreements with genocide scholar Dirk Moses - Risks of the current situation evolving into a genocide - And much, much more!
Anders Granås Kjøstvedt har forsket på den tidlige nazistbevegelsen, samt hvordan vi underviser om krigen og Holocaust i skolen. Han arbeider også med hvordan demokratiske verdier og kunnskaper formidles i skolen, særlig i samfunnsfag. I denne samtalen forteller Anders om historien til nazistbevegelsen i Tyskland, landets politiske strømninger etter første verdenskrig, Hitlers rolle og den milde straffen som han får etter det første kuppforsøket i 1923, hva slags oppslutning nazistene oppnådde blant befolkningen og hvorfor, både før og under krigen. Deretter snakker vi om hvordan Holocaust har gått fra å være en temmelig perifer hendelse i vår historiske bevissthet, til at det har kommet stadig mer i fokus, både i kulturen generelt og på skolens læreplaner. Vi snakker om hvilken rolle slutten på den kalde krigen hadde i denne historiske fokusendringen, og innflytelsen til Steven Spielbergs film Schindlers liste fra 1993. Hva ønsker vi å oppnå med undervisningen om Holocaust? Er det kun historisk kunnskap om denne spesifikke hendelsen, eller er forventningen at dette tema kan opplyse elevene om mer generelle aspekter ved etikk og politikk? Og i så fall, lykkes vi? Hvis vi forsøker å knytte dagsaktuelle tema til historieundervisningen om Holocaust, risikerer ikke dette å forvrenge elevenes forståelse av den historiske hendelsen? Kanskje vi simpelthen forventer for mye av slike tema i historieundervisningen? Vi rakk ikke å snakke så mye om demokratiundervisning generelt i skolen, som annonsert i innledningen, men vi avslutter samtalen med noen korte kommenterer om dette tema.

In this interview with historian Dr. Christopher Browning, we discuss his book, Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. An internationally renowned author and researcher, Dr. Browning is also a professor emeritus of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). He is an internationally recognized expert on the Holocaust and Nazi Germany and has authored over 75 publications. His focus on Battalion 101 emerged during his research of the Holocaust, when he discovered that this battalion was unlike any other in the German army or police force—it was comprised of ordinary, middle-aged men, not trained soldiers. Despite this fact, they assimilated into the Nazi practices of mass murder with disturbing ease. Dr. Browning examines the psychological and cultural influences that impacted this seeming phenomenon and offers poignant insights from existing historical documents.
Three books that tell us more about ourselves than we wish to admit. Hanna Arendt and the Origins of Totalitarianism, the recently published book "the psychology of totalitarianism" by Mattias Desmet, and the 1992 book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. Jung's theory of the shadow in us all, on display. How do we control our monsters within if we do not admit our reality. Know thyself, to know.

Welcome to episode 143 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with historian, author, and Harvard master's graduate, Emily Ruhl, on her new paper and master's thesis, In League with the Devine: How Religion Influenced Nazi Perpetrators of the Holocaust. This is the first of a three-part episode. You will find my full and detailed question list at the bottom of today's show notes. Also, be sure to see the list "audio chapters" in all three parts to find exactly where each topic is discussed. (Here are links to parts two and three. A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found right below [above the full-question list].) (In order to preserve both my podcast and sanity as I proceed through the Torrens graduate program, I've decided to slow my podcast from one episode a week to once a month.) The Nazi Party started by trying to resist and reject all religion, but soon, religion became a fundamental part of the Party's strategy of coercing and propagandizing everybody, from members of the public, to the highest ranking figures in both religious and political institutions, into accepting the brutal and systematic murder of eleven-million souls. The Nazi religion took elements of Christianity, Protestantism, and Paganism, to make one geared not to brotherly love, but primarily to erasing non-Aryans from the Earth. This Nazi pseudo-religion served both as coercion – you must kill the unworthy, or at least stand back while others do – and also as a salve, to come to terms with what you've just done. As you'll hear in the cool quote for part two (the first minute before the opening music), that salve can make the difference between sanity and insanity, and life and death. The Nazi's didn't want to murder eleven million people, they had to, because God said they had to. It was "unfortunate, but necessary." My primary goal for this interview is to demonstrate how this is parallel to mainstream economics, which is also a tool to justify suffering, this time in the form of austerity. Instead of a gun to the head at point blank range, austerity is mass deprivation and exploitation, resulting in a slow and torturous death by despair, starvation, exposure, and untreated sickness and injury – not to mention wasted potential. We currently have the ability to provide all with what they desperately need, including healthcare, education, decent food and shelter, un-poisoned water, and breathable air. As illuminated by Kate Raworth's doughnut, if we are to continue existing as a species, then we must provide the desperate with what they most desperately need. At the same time, we also have to stop the very few on top from using the vast majority of our precious and limited resources to needlessly lavish themselves. Unfortunately, we are instead digging ourselves into an even deeper ecological crisis, when we should be getting off fossil fuels entirely, and restructuring society so we don't require as much. On our current path, in the not-too-distant future, it may indeed become unfortunate but necessary to choose who must be deprived in order for the rest to live. Of course, given our obscene and still growing inequality, the most powerful few will be the ones to make those decisions, and the least powerful many will be the sacrificed. This is the lifeboat economics of the tragedy of the tragedy of the commons. Instead of the around eleven million murdered by the Nazi Party, mainstream economics is little more than a religion to justify what may ultimately result in the death of not millions, but billions. Austerity is genocide at a slower pace. As if riding in a bus hurtling towards a cliff, we as a species currently face a binary choice, between having a terrible accident, and plunging off into oblivion. As Mark Twain said, "History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme." There is still time to learn from that history. We can choose another path. On a completely unrelated side note, while attending her master's program, writing her master's thesis and working full time, Emily also wrote… an entire fantasy novel. You can find out more about it, and read the entire first chapter, at her website, emilyruhlbooks.com. In order to preserve both my podcast and my sanity as I proceed through Torrens University and Modern Money Lab's graduate program in MMT and ecological economics (

This episode is the recording of the opening conference of the international event “The burden of our times: the Third Reich in perspective”, held and organized by us from NEPAT - The Brazilian Center for Nazism and Holocaust Studies. The purpose of the event was to reflect on the repercussions and continuities of Nazism in current societies, investigate with particular attention the deep roots of ideology in Brazil, and think about the challenges and potential of researching and teaching topics related to Nazism and the Holocaust. All the conferences are available on our YouTube channel with automatic English subtitles. The interview was made with Professor Christopher Browning. Browning is one of the world's leading specialists in Nazi and Holocaust history. Presently, he is the Frank Porter Graham Professor Emeritus of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has conducted extensive research on perpetrator behaviors and motives, Nazi Jewish policy-making, the implementation of the “Final Solution,” survivor testimonies, and the history of ghettos and slave-labor camps. Browning will discuss his trajectory, the historian's work, understanding perpetrators, and much more. The first part of the episode is an explanation of the theme in Portuguese, and then, professor Browning gives his presentation in English. -
Today marks Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah) 2022. In keeping with Yad Vashem's annual theme, "Transports to Extinction: The Deportation of the Jews during the Holocaust," we're presenting the following episode, that originally aired in February 2021. The Holocaust could not have been carried out by the executioners alone. Such large-scale murder, over vast distances, required a massive apparatus staffed by hundreds of thousands of state administrative and security personnel. How could so many seemingly “ordinary” people knowingly take part in such crimes? In this episode we take a glimpse at this troubling phenomenon, starting with a single German police officer, Paul Salitter, tasked with escorting a train of 1,007 Jews from Germany to a ghetto in occupied Latvia. Featured guest - Dr. Christopher Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

One of the most controversial questions about the Holocaust is whether it should be seen as a universal human problem, or a unique horror perpetrated by Germans on Jews. At the heart of this question lies the work of Christopher Browning, author of numerous books on the history of the Holocaust, survivors, the Final Solution, and the story of a German auxiliary police battalion – Ordinary Men – who became killers. This episode of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel. This episode is also supported by the Public Discourse Grant from the Israel Institute, which is dedicated to strengthening the field of Israel Studies in order to promote knowledge and enhance understanding of modern Israel.
Join us on our "Book club" episode this week as we start discussing "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. The book dives into the violence and atrocity that happened during the holocaust and what it took for "ordinary men" to become the vile people that helped the holocaust happen. This book is heavily emotional and we recommend that you listen to this without children in the room. This is part one of a four-part series, and we cover chapters 1-7 in this episode.

Why do serious historians fear American democracy is hanging by a thread, with parallels to the fall of the Weimar Republic? In this episode, Christopher Browning, an expert on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, argues eerie similarities exist between our current problems and the hyper-polarized environment of 1920s-30s Germany. The gravediggers of the Weimar Republic used the levers of power to undermine a system they despised, leading to the rise of Adolph Hitler. The United States today faces no such future, but Browning says Republicans loyal to Donald Trump are attacking the legitimacy of American elections while running for key local and state offices that oversee voting -- a kind of legal revolution to disadvantage their electoral opponents.
In these strange days of violent medical apartheid and state-organized hatred directed at those who will not comply with criminally insane dictates, Christopher Browning's classic work on how ordinary men end up participating in mass killing has taken on fresh relevance.

Well, 2 Priests and a Rabbi... it sounds like a joke, but it wasn't! In this podcast we will explore TWO very powerful insights into the human condition. The first from Battalion 101 of Hamburg featured in Christopher Browning's "Ordinary Men" who carried out unspeakable deeds. AND the SECOND insight from my personal interaction with the priests of TARNOW, POLAND. We are enjoined by the Rabbis to learn from everyone...and this podcast challenges ALL of us to look inside to see if WE are living a truthful life... And I hope that this podcast will be a great Motivation for all of us to do just that...RABBI INCLUDED! Lots of love, Rabbi Garfinkel of Project 613

Joining us on Between the Lines this episode is Professor Sir Simon Wessely. We discuss Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher Browning (1992). Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions. Ordinary Men is a powerful, chilling, and important work with themes and arguments that continue to resonate today.
Reed Wilkinson, 21, was mostly a nonreader in high school--but since then, he's explored everything from brilliant philosophers (Marcus Aurelius) to self-growth (Dr. Jordan Peterson); from ancient politics (Plato and Aristotle) to religion ("The Case for Christ," by Lee Strobel and "Terror of Demons" by Kennedy Hall). But the conversation really heats up when we talk about how ordinary people became mass murderers (Ordinary Men; Reserve Police Battalion 101, by Christopher Browning) and why societies collapse into monstrous, soul-crushing, family-ending dictatorships ("The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn). We also discuss some fiction, including "The Count of Monte Cristo," by Alexandre Dumas. Reed has learned: books can widen your world, open your eyes, and electrify your existence! May you, too, be lit on fire.(This episode was recorded on July 29, 2021.)
One of the most controversial questions about the Holocaust is whether it should be seen as a universal human problem, or a unique horror perpetrated by Germans and Jews. At the heart of this question lies the work of Christopher Browning, author of numerous books on the history of the Holocaust, survivors, the Final Solution, and the story of a German auxiliary police battalion - Ordinary Men - who became killers. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
As things continue to get worse culturally and politically, it pays to ask oneself how far one will go. What are the limits to my obedience to authority? At what point do I become what I hate? To avoid becoming a monster, the first step is to draw some red lines: things we simply will not do. But will we actually stick to them, or simply go along with the crowd when the challenge proves too difficult? History is not flattering to our high ideals and self-images. When it comes down to it, the vast majority of people will do whatever they are told to do, given the right conditions. That's why a study of history and the famous Milgram experiment can be so helpful.Today on MindMatters we look at the limits of obedience to authority (with reference to Christopher Browning's book Ordinary Men, and Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect). These facts about human nature may be depressing, but they also offer the way out by providing the motivation to prepare for the future, now. Without a bit of self-knowledge, there is no guarantee you will not be just another miserable cell in the collective mob. But with it, there's at least a chance of hope that you can resist, and that others will be inspired to follow suit.
Post Face, émission littéraire présentée par Caroline Gutmann qui reçoit Jean Hatzfeld pour son livre « Là où tout se tait » aux éditions Gallimard et Laurent Lemire qui vient présenter l'ouvrage d'Omer Bartov, « Anatomie d'un génocide » aux éditions Plein Jour. À propos du livre : "Là où tout se tait" paru aux éditions Gallimard Sur les collines de Nyamata, Jean Hatzfeld part cette fois à la recherche des très rares Hutus qui ont résisté à la folie génocidaire au péril de leur vie. Au Rwanda, on les appelle abarinzi w'igihango, les gardiens du pacte de sang, ou parfois les Justes. Mais vingt-cinq ans après, ils restent des personnages silencieux, entourés de méfiance ; parce que aux yeux des Hutus ils incarnent la trahison, ou leur renvoient l'image de ce qu'ils auraient pu être, tandis que les Tutsis portent sur eux d'irréductibles soupçons et le plus souvent refusent d'admettre qu'il y ait eu des Hutus méritants. Beaucoup de sauveteurs ont été abattus par les tueurs, sans laisser de trace. Certains de ceux qui ont survécu racontent ici leurs histoires extraordinaires. Chacun trouve les mots pour relater ce chaos dans une langue étrange, familière et nourrie de métaphores, reconnaissable entre toutes pour ceux qui ont lu les précédents livres de l'auteur. Jean Hatzfeld a grandi au Chambon-sur-Lignon, le "village des Justes". Ce livre est le sixième qu'il consacre au génocide Tutsi à Nyamata. Son dernier roman, Deux mètres dix, a paru dans la collection "Blanche" en 2018. À propos du livre : "Anatomie d'un génocide" paru aux éditions Plein Jour Buczacz est une petite ville de Galicie (aujourd'hui en Ukraine). Pendant plus de 400 ans, des communautés diverses y ont vécu plus ou moins ensemble ; jusqu'à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, qui a vu la disparition de toute sa population juive. En se concentrant sur ce seul lieu, étudié depuis l'avant-Première Guerre mondiale, Omer Bartov reconstitue une évolution polarisée par l'avènement des nationalismes polonais et ukrainien, et la lutte entre les deux communautés, tandis que l'antisémitisme s'accroît. À partir d'archives récoltées pendant plus de 20 ans, d'une documentation considérable, de journaux intimes, de rapports politiques, milliers d'archives rarement analysées jusqu'à aujourd'hui, il retrace le chemin précis qui a mené à la Shoah. Il renouvelle en profondeur notre regard sur les ressorts sociaux et intimes de la destruction des Juifs d'Europe. Omer Bartov est professeur d'histoire européenne à Brown University (États-Unis). Il est l'auteur de plusieurs livres importants, dont un seul, jusque-là, a été traduit en français (L'Armée d'Hitler, Hachette, 1999). Anatomie d'un génocide a été célébré par Jan Gross, Tom Segev, Christopher Browning, Saul Friedlander, Philip Sands…
The Holocaust could not have been carried out by the executioners alone. Such large-scale murder, over vast distances, required a massive apparatus staffed by hundreds of thousands of state administrative and security personnel.How could so many seemingly “ordinary” people knowingly take part in such crimes? In this episode we take a glimpse at this troubling phenomenon, starting with a single German police officer, Paul Salitter, tasked with escorting a train of 1,007 Jews from Germany to a ghetto in occupied Latvia.Featured guest - Dr. Christopher Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In this book review Kyrin goes over the book 'Ordinary Men' by Christopher R. Browning. The book details the experiences of Reserve Police Battalion 101 during the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the role played by the battalion in the murder/exportation of the Jewish people in this era. He shares his thoughts on some of the psychological and ethical issues raised by the circumstances. A sombre and difficult read.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/
Essentiel – Le rendez-vous culture de RCJ – présenté les lundis par Sandrine Sebbane. Sandrine Sebbane reçoit Yishai Sarid pour « Le monstre de la mémoire » paru chez Acte Sud et Omer Bar Tov pour « Anatomie d'un génocide » aux éditions Plein Jour. À propos du livre : «Le monstre de la mémoire» paru aux Éditions Acte Sud Un historien israélien, spécialiste des processus d’extermination pendant la Shoah, devient guide des camps de la mort, accompagnant des groupes de lycéens dans leurs visites imposées au cours de « voyages de la mémoire ». Cette expérience, doublée de sollicitations diverses autour des différentes formes que prend l’entretien officiel de cette inflammable mémoire, entame progressivement et profondément son rapport au monde et aux autres. Sur l'échec de la transmission de l'histoire, un corps à corps explosif avec des questionnements vertigineux, aussi intimes que politiques. Devenu spécialiste de la Shoah malgré lui, un historien israélien accompagne des groupes de lycéens dans leurs visites imposées au cours de “voyages de la mémoire” systématisés par l’État. Le voilà guide des camps de la mort. Cette expérience, cette fréquentation intime et quotidienne des processus d’extermination nazis, doublées de sollicitations diverses autour des différentes formes que prend l’entretien officiel d’une inflammable mémoire, entament progressivement et profondément son rapport au monde et aux autres. Rédigé sous la forme d’une lettre adressée au président de Yad Vashem (l’Institut international pour la mémoire de la Shoah sis à Jérusalem), cette sorte de rapport de mission bouscule le lecteur comme un interrogatoire musclé. Rapidement, le ton se tend. Une rage sourde imprègne chaque phrase, contamine le regard. On y lit l’implication et la rigueur scientifique du guide mais aussi sa solitude, son sentiment d’impuissance. Dans une époque vouée au virtuel autant qu’au pragmatisme, Yishaï Sarid soumet à sa propre absurdité cette mise en scène de la mémoire au service d’un projet national qui érige la survie en triomphe. Le texte porte le constat terrible de l’impossibilité de transmettre, face à la banalisation du tourisme de l’horreur. Mais il contient son propre démenti : bref, saisissant, implacable, il a la puissance de déflagration et l’efficacité sensorielle d’un corps à corps avec ce monstre de la mémoire. Né en 1965 à Tel Aviv, Yishaï Sarid a étudié le droit à Jérusalem et à Harvard. Il a travaillé au bureau du procureur pour les affaires criminelles avant de devenir avocat dans un cabinet privé. Il est le fils de Yossi Sarid, figure universellement respectée de la gauche israélienne, disparu en 2015.Le Poète de Gaza (Actes Noirs), son deuxième roman et le premier traduit en France, a reçu le grand prix de Littérature policière ainsi que le prix de la SNCF en 2011. Le Troisième Temple, paru en 2018 chez Actes Sud, a été lauréat du Bernstein Prize 2016 en Israël.

This one's heavy fam – strap in. Christopher Browning's Ordinary Men tells the true story of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Police Order and their role in Poland in the early 1940's. It's a damning encapsulation of what atrocities can become justifiable to reasonable men, when the journey to evil is broken down into small steps. As men, it's easy to think we would make better decisions in other people's shoes, that we would be the hero, not the villain. We assume this ignorant both to the small innocuous decisions along their path which compounded into an unimaginable broader outcome, and also ignorant to the statistical probability of such. That is to say that if you were a German, born in the early 20th century, it's 99.9% likely you became a Nazi, rather than became a hero hiding Anne Frank in your ceiling. We all know it's wrong, but not many know that we would likely have been as wrong if we wore their shoes. If you adequately understand the above, it's confronting. Once you understand the worst you are capable of, your judgement will usually be replaced by empathy for those who have taken a rougher path than you. So, how does a handsome, tall, athletic, well-raised private schoolboy & politics graduate, end up being arrested naked when customs raid his parents' house with a drug warrant? By in moments of weakness giving the wrong answer to a series of innocuous questions, across over a decade or so of life. By taking small misjudged steps, without the foresight to see the culmination of those steps was the road to hell. If you've read Ordinary Men, or if you've lived a rough life yourself, you know the answer is exactly that, and seemingly benign. That's explainable. What we want to know, and what is hard to explain, is how in the fuck do you rebuild your life after that? Michael Claydon tells us how he found a way to the surface, and how he's now starting to thrive.
Christopher Browning took a historical and psychological survey of the grass-roots killers who perpetrated the Holocaust in Poland. What he unveils in his book “Ordinary Men” is an ugly truth about humanity: everyday people are capable of mass murder, if given the right environment. But what is the direct cause of the holocaust? Did Hitler merely unleash the fury of racism and hatred? Or do average, decent people have the capacity for unspeakable evil?LinksVisit our website: https://www.wellreadchristian.comCheck our our blog: https://www.wellreadchristian.com/blogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellreadchristianTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/WellReadChrist1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGxz4OH1-hVD0fL9AWR4Xg

Dr. Christopher Browning, visiting faculty in the University of Washington's Department of History, explains how individuals and organizations mobilized to rescue refugees in Nazi-occupied France through the story of aid worker-turned-rescuer Tracy Strong, Jr. Born in Seattle in 1915, Tracy Strong, Jr. served as a humanitarian relief worker in the Vichy internment camps for “undocumented” refugees, primarily Jews from central Europe, in southern France from 1941-42. Convinced that the most important goal should be to get people out of the camps, not improve life in the camps, Strong set up one of the first “safe houses” for refugees in the French rescue village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. His story illustrates how individuals, working together with community and organizational networks, were able to oppose Nazi policies and save lives in World War II, and offers insights into how concerned citizens can organize to resist inhumane policies today. Christopher R. Browning is the Frank Porter Graham Professor of History Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was formerly on the faculty at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. He has published nine books on the Holocaust, including “Ordinary Men,” “Origins of the Final Solution,” and “Remembering Survival,” all of which won the National Jewish Book Award. He is currently a visiting instructor for the University of Washington’s Department of History.

Raul Hilberg was a giant in the field of Genocide and Holocaust Studies. Frequently cited as the founder of the field in the United States, Hilberg wrote, taught, and mentored for decades. In a series of influential books, he scouted out the terrain, mapped events, people and personalities, and offered lenses through which to view our field of study. His students and mentees embarked on their own journeys and, in their own ways, set an agenda we continue to pursue today. In German Railroads, Jewish Souls: The Reichsbahn, Bureaucracy, and the Final Solution (Berghahn Books, 2019), Christopher Browning and Peter Hayes offer an assessment and appreciation of Hilberg’s work. The book explains some of Hilberg’s most influential ideas by focusing on his research on the German Railroad system. Browning and Hayes reprints Hilberg’s work, show how his interpretations shaped the field, and assess how recent research has followed on and nuanced Hilberg’s conclusions. And they reprint a variety of documents that illustrate Hilberg’s analysis. Students will find it immensely valuable. But everyone will benefit from revisiting some of the most important early work in Holocaust studies. It is a fitting tribute to a great scholar. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Past series, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda, 1994, published by W. W. Norton Press. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

His students and mentees embarked on their own journeys and, in their own ways, set an agenda we continue to pursue today. In German Railroads, Jewish Souls: The Reichsbahn, Bureaucracy, and the Final Solution (Berghahn Books, 2019), Christopher Browning and Peter Hayes offer an assessment and appreciation of Hilberg’s work. The book explains some of Hilberg’s most influential ideas by focusing on his research on the German Railroad system. Browning and Hayes reprints Hilberg’s work, show how his interpretations shaped the field, and assess how recent research has followed on and nuanced Hilberg’s conclusions. And they reprint a variety of documents that illustrate Hilberg’s analysis. Students will find it immensely valuable. But everyone will benefit from revisiting some of the most important early work in Holocaust studies. It is a fitting tribute to a great scholar. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.

It’s Wisdom Wednesday, everyone! Christopher Browning, Ph.D., CFP ®, is a professor at Texas Tech University who works closely with students and the alumni advisory board. On today’s episode of Financial Planning in our Modern World, I interview Dr. Chris Browning. He talks about mentorship and internships and their role in being a successful young professional. We discuss the importance of mentorship, the quality, and quantity of internships. Lastly, Dr. Browning talks about the fiduciary standard from the perspective of a young professional.
Une émission de présentation des débats autour de l’extermination des juifs d’Europe, de son caractère prévu de longue date ou fruit des circonstances, de ses causes lointaines (notamment l’antisémitisme) et immédiates, de sa spécificité et de sa comparaison avec d’autres crimes de masse – avec Paul et Johannes, bons connaisseurs de ce sujet. La première partie de l’émission (50 minutes) comporte : Une présentation des enjeux contemporains de ces problématiques (l’antisémitisme, la concurrence des mémoires) ; Une histoire de l’Allemagne de l’Ouest et de sa non-dénazification ; Une présentation critique des thèses de Nolte, faisant du nazisme une simple (légitime ?) réaction au bolchévisme ; Une présentation des thèses intentionnalistes (importance de l’idéologie, intention précoce d’extermination des juifs, centralité de Hitler) et fonctionnalistes (radicalisation du fait des difficultés concrètes, concurrence des bureaucraties, moindre importance de Hitler, absence de plan d’extermination) et de leurs limites (personnification excessive du côté intentionnaliste, minoration du rôle de l’antisémitisme du côté fonctionnaliste) ; Une discussion des thèses de Christopher Browning au sujet des motivations d’acteurs « ordinaires » de l’Holocauste (des réservistes du 101ème bataillon de police) et une critique de l’idée qu’il s’agissait d’ordres indiscutables (pas de sanctions en cas de non-participation aux tueries mobiles) ; Une discussion des thèses de Goldhagen au sujet des Allemands comme « bourreaux volontaires » ; Une analyse du discours conspirationniste et apocalyptique des nazis (faisant des juifs des fauteurs de guerre et de conspirateurs œuvrant pour une destruction de l’Allemagne) ; Une discussion du moment de décision de l’extermination des juifs d’Europe ; Une présentation des thèses de Friedlander (accordant un rôle central à l’antisémitisme « rédempteur », notamment hitlérien, d’inspiration volkisch et chrétienne) ; Une discussion des explications de l’extermination en termes de Sonderweg (par une trajectoire historique allemande spécifique), de fascisme, d’utilité économique et de totalitarisme ; Une critique du négationnisme (tendanciel ou même avéré) des approches marxistes réductionnistes économicistes de la destruction des juifs d’Europe. La deuxième partie de l’émission (50 minutes) comporte : Une présentation de l’analyse de George Mosse au sujet de l’antisémitisme allemand et de ses racines historiques (modernisation rapide et ses ravages identifiés aux juifs, nationalisme exacerbé par une conception raciale du peuple et une unification tardive, réaction à l’émancipation des juifs et à leur ascension sociale) ; Une analyse de l’antisémitisme nazi comme fusion des antisémitismes : antisémitisme racial et eugéniste, antisémitisme conspirationniste, antisémitisme contre-révolutionnaire, antisémitisme nationaliste romantique anti-moderne, antisémitisme apocalyptique, antisémitisme chrétien, antisémitisme « anti-impérialiste », antisémitisme conservateur ; Une analyse de l’antisémitisme nazi comme produit de l’antisémitisme structurel, c’est-à-dire d’une personnification tendancielle (en absence de compréhension du caractère impersonnel et dynamique du capitalisme) faisant des juifs ceux qui se cachent derrière des processus structurels (crises, modernisation rapide, luttes de classe, financiarisation, mondialisation, urbanisation) du capitalisme – et qu’on ne parvient pas à expliquer de manière structurelle –, à partir d’une critique tronqué du capitalisme (basée sur une opposition fallacieuse des dimensions « concrètes » et « abstraites » du capitalisme) ; Un rappel de l’industrialisme et du techno-prophétisme des nazis (Herf) ; Une comparaison analytique (et non morale) de l’antisémitisme avec d’autres formes de racismes ; Un appel à un dépassement de la concurrence des mémoires, et à analyser chaque crime de masse (esclavage, génocides, épurations ethniques) spécifiquement et en-dehors de toute hiérarchie morale ; Une définition du génocide comme issu d’une volonté étatique d’extermination totale d’un peuple donné ; Une comparaison avec d’autres génocides (celui des Rroms, des Herrero, des Arménien et des Tutsis) et d’autres crimes de masse (programme T4, pogroms anti-juifs, esclavage, colonisation).
Renowned historian of the Holocaust Christopher R. Browning, discusses the ordinary men from the left leaning city of Hamburg who were drafted into the Reserve Police, and how and why the majority of them participated in the mass killing and genocide of 83,000 Jews in Eastern Europe during World War II. The discussion is based on Christopher's most seminal work, 'Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland.' Broadcast on 12 March, 2019.
What if a law was passed that doctors had to obey the military? Would that make it right to apply their skill and knowledge to evil purposes? Medicines posits very high moral values. Some of the highest. Medical practitioners are at the service of their patients, but not at the service of disease. We seek firstly to do no harm, and secondly to do good. There are laws before NSW Parliament that liberalise Abortion and co-opt doctors to be agents for the industry. What ought doctors to do in this situation?

One of the most controversial questions about the Holocaust is whether it should be seen as a universal human problem, or a unique horror perpetrated by Germans and Jews. At the heart of this question lies the work of Christopher Browning, author of numerous books on the history of the Holocaust, survivors, the Final Solution, and the story of a German auxiliary police battalion - Ordinary Men - who became killers. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel. Tel Aviv Review is also supported by the Public Discourse Grant from the Israel Institute, which is dedicated to strengthening the field of Israel Studies in order to promote knowledge and enhance understanding of modern Israel.
Ever feel like a fake? A pretender? An IMPOSTER? Welcome to the horrible world of Imposter Syndrome, suffered by Entrepreneurs and others everywhere. How do you deal with this unwieldy beast? Christopher Browning is here to tell us about his experience overcoming imposter syndrome and how he coaches entrepreneurs to overcome it too. This episode is packed with actionable advice and is perhaps the most unmissable episode yet! Also, congratulations for reading this far, how’s your day? Mine was nice because i got to talk to Christopher, anyway, you should probably listen to the podcast now I guess, ah shucks... How to apply the information from this podcast: . Recognize that imposter syndrome is internal resistance against making yourself the person you want to become . Recognize that you can’t fully remove imposter syndrome, but you can get better at leaning into it, and persisting despite the resistance . Ask yourself who you’re comparing yourself against and who you’re not comparing yourself against and if regular people would consider you an expert at your subject? Recalling that for a regular person to consider you an expert, all you’d have to do was read 3 books on the subject. (Recall how easy it used to be the get considered an expert at computers 10 years ago) . Don’t compare yourself to the uber-experts, compare yourself to regular people to feel less of an imposter, because compared to them, you are an expert and you do have value to offer them . Ask yourself what natural talents you do have, which other people compliment you on but which you consider to be easy or very straightforward, are they easy for other people too? Are they things you should be more appreciative of and things you should focus more on? . Journal your self talk in order to fix it, if most people talked to other people the way they talked to themselves, they’d have no friends, how’s your self talk? Are you cruel to yourself or supportive? Daily journal: “how did i talk to myself recently” to get a handle on your horrific self talk . Every time you catch yourself thinking “I can’t”, tell yourself “I can” 5 times and feel it by remembering a time when you thought you couldn’t but when you did it anyway, also ask yourself what tools you’re grateful for existing that can help you . Do the Strength Finder program by the Gallop Organisation . In the morning, before getting out of bed, spend 5 minutes visualising a successful day, reviewing yesterday’s mistakes being solved today . When considering your next business venture, or a pivot to your current business venture: Ask yourself “What is the change you want to see in the world which you could actually achieve?” and “What thing would you like to help people optimise?” And then look at your natural talents and skill for how could achieve that Topics discussed include: imposter syndrome, comparisons, strengths finder, natural talents, fulfilment, visualisation, self-talk, entrepreneurship, digital nomads Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE on iTunes or Stitcher to avoid missing out on the next inspiring interviews and if you LOVE the episode, give it a 5 star rating and write an awesome review!

This week I review Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. This is a really good book that not only recounts what happened in Poland during the holocaust, but also investigates how middle aged noncareer military men engaged in unimaginable mass murder from a psychological perspective surrounding conformity and deference to authority.
Christopher Browning is the the Frank Graham Professor of History Emeritus from the the University of North Carolina who recently wrote an essay in the New York Review of Books entitled "Suffocation of Democracy". It was in that essay that he discussed the Trump presidency and said that within several decades after the Trump dynamic the looming effects of ecological disaster due to human-induced climate change will be inescapable - "No wall will be high enough to shelter the US from these event," Browning wrote.
It’s not often that you run across a smoking gun. Jess Melvin did, at an archive in Banda Aceh. Since the massacres in Indonesia in 1965-66, academics, journalists, politicians and military officials have argued about the motivations for the killing. With little documentation to draw from, these debates relied on careful analysis of context and circumstance. The result was widespread disagreement about how centralized the killing was and whether the killing was planned in advance. Melvin, in her new book The Army and the Indonesian Genocide: Mechanics of Mass Murder (Routledge, 2018), puts some of these questions to rest. It seems clear from her work that, at least in the regions covered by her research, that the Army was looking for an occasion to eliminate the Communist Party. And that it saw the clumsily executed kidnappings and killings of 1 October as a golden opportunity to put this plan into action. Finally, while she lacks direct evidence for other regions in Indonesia, her efforts to apply her own insights to the rest of the country seem measured and logical. Melvin’s research is careful and thorough. The book reminds me of Christopher Browning’s The Origins of the Final Solution–it feels like a detective working through every bit of evidence in an attempt to be fair and impartial. Anyone studying the violence in Indonesia will have to reckon with Melvin’s book. This podcast is part of a short series on the mass atrocities in Indonesia. Recently I talked with Geoff Robinson about his book The Killing Season and Kate MacGregor, Annie Pohlman and Jess Melvin about their edited volume The Indonesian Genocide of 1965: Causes, Dynamics and Legacies. I’ll conclude the series soon with an interview with Vannessa Hearman about her book Unmarked Graves. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Past series, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda, 1994.

People study atrocities and mass violence for a variety of reasons. When asked, many offer thoughtful intellectual or political explanations for their choice. But in truth, the field is a practical response to a cry of the heart. How, people ask, how can people do this to one another? How can men and women do such terrible things? How can they do them to people they know? Max Bergholz asks these questions systematically in his terrific new book Violence as a Generative Force: Identity, Nationalism and Memory in a Balkan Community (Cornell University Press, 2016). The book is a careful, detailed description of the violence that exploded in a rural community in Croatia in 1941. Bergholz researched the book for a decade, poring through records from local archives and libraries all across the region. This allows Bergholz, Associate Professor of History at Concordia University in Montreal, to answer questions about the history of ethnicity in the region, about the intersection of local agency and national leadership, and about the political impact of the memory of this violence. But all of this is subsidiary to the burning question at the heart of the book: why did people who had known each other for years suddenly fall upon each other with such violence? The book thus enters into a discussion with Scott Straus, Christopher Browning, James Waller and others. But Bergholz brings a distinctively historical perspective to the discussion. He doesn’t dismiss psychological analysis. Rather, he reminds us that context and situation matters enormously. The book is an enormously important contribution to the study of mass violence. Anyone interested in why neighbors kill neighbors will have to wrestle with his conclusions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Het minder bekende, maar veel belangrijkere boek dan Goldhagens Hitlers gewillige beulen over de Duitsers als daders, geschreven door Christopher Browning. Besproken door historicus Willem Melching
How to become a "Work Of Art" The world is in desperate need of Art. Art brings beauty and true beauty heals souls. Anything you do can be Art, even taking out the trash. Whatever you do, do it with your full intention. Care not if it is perfect. True beauty is imperfect but it is full of intent. We are moved by the intention of the art and then it becomes beautiful. With the right intention anything can become beautiful, even old things that were once ‘ugly’Once you do art, then become art yourself. You will heal the souls around, and heal your own if it is in need of it. Chris helps men make more money in meaningful work. In Short: he show's men how to earn and ask for more money by being themselves. How to get the most out of their career by helping them discover and communicate their innate value.
Christopher Browning is one of the giants in the field of Holocaust Studies. He has contributed vitally to at least two of the basic debates in the field: the intentionalist/functionalist discussion about when, why and how the Germans decided to annihilate the Jews of Europe, and the question of why individual perpetrators killed. His new book, then, seems like something of a departure. Remembering Survival: Inside a Nazi Slave Labor Camp (W. W. Norton, 2010), examines the labor camp at Starachowice, Poland. Starting before the Nazi invasion, Browning tracks the members of the Jewish community in the region throughout the war, from their initial encounters with Nazi presence through their deportation to Auschwitz to their eventual return (or not) to their homes after the war. The book engages deeply questions of survival, resistance and community and family in the life of the Jewish captives. But, as Browning suggests during the interview, the book is really a continuation of his previous strategy of using case studies to shed light on questions of broad significance. This time, by studying a labor camp, Browning is able to examine both the captives and those who held them prisoner. The result is every bit as rich as his previous work. Browning speaks as carefully and thoughtfully as he writes. We talked both about the story he tells in the book and some of the methodological issues he confronted in writing it. There's more in the book than we could get to in an hour. I hope you'll listen to the interview and then go out and read the book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The question Lee Ann Fujii asks in her new book Killing Neighbors: Webs of Violence in Rwanda (Cornell University Press, 2009) is a traditional one in genocide studies. Her research builds on earlier scholars such as Christopher Browning, James Waller and Scott Strauss. Her eye for nuances and for the complexities of local relationships allows her to extend this earlier research in helping us to understand why neighbors killed neighbors in Rwanda. However. The metaphor she uses to help illuminate her explanations is both new and remarkably insightful. She argues that genocide must be viewed as a script. This script has directors and producers. but it also has actors. And the actors, far away from the directors, are able to interpret the script in ways that makes genocide make sense to their own lives and circumstances. sometimes this leads them to kill more people than they had been ordered to kill. But sometimes it leads individuals to ignore or save people who logically should have been targeted, sometimes in startling ways. It gives individual actors the ability to alter the desired pace and nature of the killings. And, as Fujii says, it casts traditional categories of perpetrators, bystanders and victims into question. Fujii’s emphasis on genocide as process and on genocide as a script transformed the way I talk about mass killing. That makes this an important book. Learn more about your ad choices.
