Who was the real “Angel of Death?”   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Dr. David G. Marwell to discuss David’s new book, Mengele: Unmasking the “Angel of Death.” In today’s conversation, Aaron and David talk about the infamous Nazi doctor and his mark on history, as well as the broader concepts of justice, evil, medicine, and science.   One of the most notorious Holocaust mass murderers, Josef Mengele was the embodiment of bloodless efficiency and passionate devotion to a grotesque worldview. A German SS officer, Mengele was a physician with a particular interest in anthropology and genetic science. Mengele has become the benchmark of evil and has come to symbolize the Holocaust itself as well as the failure of justice that allowed countless Nazi murderers and their accomplices to escape justice. Whether as the cold doctor who directed mass killings and unethical, horrific experiments, or the elusive fugitive who escaped capture, the myth of Mengele has loomed large. Throughout today’s episode, David and Aaron delve into the story of Josef Mengele – the man and the myth.   Dr. Marwell is a former Justice Department official; his new book is a gripping biography about the monstrous Mengele from the perspective of someone who was tasked with uncovering the Nazi doctor’s fate.  As chief of investigative research at the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, David conducted research in support of the investigation and prosecution of Nazi war criminals in the United States. As a part of this effort, he played major roles in the Klaus Barbie and Josef Mengele investigations and helped to author the two major reports that resulted. In 1988, Dr. Marwell became the (last) Director of the Berlin Document Center, a repository for captured personnel-related files of the Nazi Party and its component organizations. After overseeing the completion of this collection, David returned to the States to become the Executive Director of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board. Following this service, he became the Associate Museum Director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, overseeing key museum departments (exhibitions, collections, archives, education, international programs, library.) In 2000, David was appointed Director & CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, leading the institution for fifteen years before stepping down at the end of 2015.     To learn more about David, please visit his website here.

This week, host Daniel Raimi talks with RFF Senior Fellow Alan Krupnick about the value of a statistical life, or VSL. As we all try to stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic, some analysts have started to ask the question, How much economic pain is appropriate to withstand to protect public health? The question is studded with ethical and moral land mines that, to some extent, VSL helps to address. In today’s episode, Krupnick takes us through the history of the VSL concept, different methods for calculating VSL, and how VSL might (or might not) be applied in today’s rapidly changing world.

他是奧斯威辛集中營殘殺猶太人的劊子手。二戰之後逃往海外，隱姓埋名，直到死亡。當人們找到他時，他已經在地下埋了六年了。通過對他頭骨的鑑定和生前相片的對照（見下紅色圖），確定了他的身份。昨天是“大屠殺紀念日”。我們今天講這個故事，是因爲一本新書剛出版：Mengele: Unmasking the "Angel of Death" by David G. Marwell，講的就是魔王Josef Mengele的暴行。他是波蘭奧斯威辛集中營的軍官，手中掌握生殺大權，殘害性命無數。在這集“今日話題”中，我們介紹這本新書和裏面的一些内容。

This week, we learn how to complain better. Our first guest is Amy Fish, the ombudsman for Concordia University in Montreal and the author of I Wanted Fries with That: How to Ask for What You Want and Get What You Need. She tells us what she learned working as “chief complaints officer” for a university (and before that a Jewish nursing home!), and shares a few simple tricks to help us all better ask for what we want—and get it. Then, Mark sits down with Carolyn Karcher, professor emerita at Temple University and the editor of Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism, a collection featuring 40 rabbis, activists, and writers. She explains how she came to oppose Zionism, and how she sees anti-Zionism functioning within the Jewish community today.
