On Nov. 7, mobs of Dutch soccer fans rampaged through central Amsterdam beating up Israeli and Jewish tourists there to see the Maccabi Tel Aviv team play. The outbreak of violence happened on the eve of the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when organized gangs of Nazi soldiers in Germany and occupied Austria targeted Jewish businesses, torched synagogues and sent 20,000 Jewish men to concentration camps. Video of the Dutch attacks prompted some world leaders to describe the night as a “pogrom”. In hindsight, however, the mayor of Amsterdam is now backtracking on using the word “pogrom”, saying the word has been weaponized to score political points. And while her comments have angered many Jewish leaders in the Netherlands, at least two of them agree that the horrific comparison is an overstatement. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, you'll hear why. Dave Heilbron, the Dutch-Canadian leader of a pro-Israel lobby organization based in Amsterdam, and Annet Betsalel, a Dutch filmmaker and Holocaust educator in the small town of Bussum, both join the show to discuss what Jewish life in the Netherlands has been like over the past couple of weeks. They say while calling the attacks a pogrom may be exaggeration, Dutch Jews are still nervous about more antisemitic attacks, costly security bills and rising anti-Jewish hatred across the political spectrum in Europe.

A Dutch Jewish community leader, Allon Kijl, describes the hostility in the Netherlands against the Jews and Israel after Oct. 7th. Mentioned in this podcast is the interview of Daniel Libeskind -- see https://b.link/Ep107NeverAgainIsNowPodcast

In a thought-provoking discussion on "The Brand Called You" podcast, Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld and Bart Wallet shed light on the often overlooked Jewish history of the Netherlands. While many people associate Dutch Jewish history solely with the tragic tale of Anne Frank, Bernfeld and Wallet emphasize the vibrant and diverse past of Judaism in the country. Through their engaging conversation, they aim to bring awareness to the rich Jewish heritage that goes beyond the confines of Anne Frank's story. About Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld & Bart Wallet Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld & Bart Wallet are authors of a book called, “Jews in the Netherlands.” Tirtsah is an independent scholar, who specializes in cultural aspects of the Portuguese Jewish community of the early modern period. She is a National Jewish Book Award winner, and the author of “Poverty and Welfare among the Portuguese Jews of early modern Amsterdam.  Bart Wallet is an early modern and modern Jewish history professor at the University of Amsterdam.  He has published extensively on the history of Dutch Jewry.  Bart is also the editor of the European Journal of Jewish studies.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tbcy/support

Growing up in New York as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, Nina Siegal had always wondered about the experience of her mother and maternal grandparents living in Europe during World War II. She had heard stories of the war as a child from her mother and grandfather, and read Anne Frank's diary in school, but the tales were crafted as moral lessons — to never waste food, to be grateful for all you receive, to hide your silver — while the details of the past went untold to make it easier to assimilate into American life. When Siegal moved to Amsterdam as an adult, those questions came up again, as did another horrifying one: Why did seventy five percent of the Dutch Jewish community perish in the war, while in other Western European countries the proportions were significantly lower? How did this square with the narratives of Dutch resistance she had heard so much about? Siegal decided to get into the archives and look at wartime diaries of Dutch citizens from all walks of life and eventually wrote “The Diary Keepers World War II In The Netherlands, as Written by the People Who Lived Through It.” Siegal joins us to discuss a part of history we haven't seen in quite this way before. We look at stories of a Dutch Nazi police detective, a Jewish journalist imprisoned at Westerbork transit camp, a grocery store owner who saved dozens of lives, and several others into a braided nonfictional narrative of the Nazi occupation and the Dutch Holocaust, as individuals experienced it day by day.

Today I talked to Batja Mesquita about her book Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions (Norton, 2022). To a degree sometimes not realized, we discuss emotions through the lens of what have been called WEIRD cultures, i.e. Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic. As a result, the perspective taken tends to be inside/out, privileging one's private feelings: a Mine approach. Yet in much of the world, more of an Ours approach prevails, with an understanding of emotions as being important because they help us navigate the cultures we live in. So as Batja Mesquita notes, emotions are therefore recognized as happening between people because emotions are relational, cultural, situational, and heavily involve cultural norms. To unpack an emotional episode is to explore, by degrees, what is going on and why the episode is significant in relation to one's goals and values, and one's place within a given situation and wider, cultural context. Dr. Batja Mesquita is a social psychologist, an affective scientist, and a pioneer of cultural psychology. She's a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Leuven, Belgium. She's from a Dutch Jewish family with parents who survived the Holocaust in hiding. She's also lived in Italy, Bosnia, and the U.S., where she did her post-doctoral work at the University of Michigan. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.

Episode 16: The Life and Betrayal of Anne FrankWhen you think of the Holocaust; You think of the 6 million victims that were murdered in concentration camps throughout Europe. But one story stands out among them all.The story of Anne Frank is a powerful look into the dark past of Dutch Jewish families in 1930 through 1940s Europe. It's a story of a young girl. Whose family had to go into hiding to live. Eventually. The family was sold out to the Nazis and a new investigation tells us who could have sold them out.Digital tour of the Secret Annex:https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/secret-annex/landing/Get a free month on audible using this link:audibletrial.com/theeeriepodDonate to the 100-mile walk for Suicide/Sextortion Awareness:https://gofund.me/e204c96fCheck out our social media pages:https://www.facebook.com/theeeriepodcasthttps://www.Instagram.com/theeeriepodcasthttps://www.twitter.com/theeeriepodcastOur Website:https://www.theeeriepodcast.comSources:The Diary of a Young Girlby, Anne FrankThe Betrayal of Anne Frankby, Rosemary Sullivan

Eighty years ago this month, in May 1942, the Nazis forced all Jewish people in the Netherlands to wear a yellow star on their clothes to publicly identify themselves. This would lead to mass deportations and deaths, eliminating about 75 per cent of the Dutch Jewish population. Now, Dutch researchers are trying to identify those persecuted Jews—and find out what happened to them. This year, the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies launched a project called "Behind the Star". They've published hundreds of black and white wartime photos of Jews wearing yellow stars, and are hoping to crowdsource the subjects' identities. Because Canada has such a large population of Dutch Jewish survivors and their descendents, the researchers are hoping Canadians can help look through the photos and put names to the faces, creating a fuller picture what happened to the Netherlands' Jewish community.

Last week on The CJN Daily, we brought you an interview with Canadian writer Rosemary Sullivan. Her latest book, The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation, details a team of historians and researchers that argue it was a Dutch Jewish notary who sold out the Franks to the Nazis. Sullivan defended her work and argued the Dutch need to face the fact that one-third of all Dutch Jews in hiding were betrayed, resulting in the death of 75 per cent of the country's Jewish population. But the Dutch are angry at the book—especially one Dutchman, Ruben Vis. The CEO of a Dutch Jewish organization called NIK, who is also the son of Holocaust survivors who hid for their survival, Vis has since embarked on a PR campaign to force the book's publisher to stop printing copies. He also believes his research refutes several accusations from The Betrayal of Anne Frank, a book which he describes as a painful hit on Dutch Jews. Vis joins from Amsterdam to explain what Sullivan's book got wrong and why his fight to stop the book is going to heat up even more next week.

Rosemary Sullivan, the Canadian author of more than a dozen books, knew she'd get some pushback for her latest non-fiction endeavour, a book that casts the Anne Frank story in a troubling new light. But she never expected it to be this bad. The city of Amsterdam demanded 100,000 euros back from the subjects of Sullivan's story; Dutch newspapers issued bold retractions on their front pages; the book's Dutch publisher publicly apologized to readers for offending them. At the root of the controversy is a startling revelation alleged in Sullivan's new book, The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation. Sullivan details a team of Dutch and American investigators who discover that it was likely a Dutch Jewish man who betrayed the Franks, inviting a Nazi raid that ultimately led to many of the family members' deaths. The story, and the resulting outcry, has made international headlines. In Canada, Indigo's CEO, Heather Reisman, called the book the "one thing you should read this year," and Sullivan herself stands by the investigators' findings—even if they're hard to stomach. She joins to discuss.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes; Stella Claire ter Hart is a well known composer, educator, adjudicator, accompanist and who is now semi-retired from her many musical endeavors.  She is a direct descendent from the Italian composer, Tomaso Vitali, and has many other musical family members and ancestors.  Stella is poignantly inspired by her rich European background which includes French Huguenot ancestors on her father's side fleeing to the Netherlands in the 15th century to avoid persecution, and the loss of her maternal grandmother's entire Jewish family (over 1,200 family members) in World War II concentration camps, among them her 79 year old great grandfather and the little 7 year old girl also called Stella.    "Discovering Twins" by Stella ter Hart (Winner of the BookView Review Gold Award and the Literary Titan Good Book Award)  “My mother carried secrets and covered them with lies. She didn't want to—they were forced upon her. Little by little her secrets gradually unraveled and became part of my existence. My mother was terrified her secrets would be discovered, and this terror dominated her life. My first glimpse came in 1978 when I traveled with my mother to Holland, the country of her birth and my ancestors. I was introduced to relatives I never knew existed—on both sides of the family.  Picking up on clues, I realized that my mother's background was Jewish, Dutch Jewish, Holocaust Jewish.  She was unable to speak of it and I was forbidden to bring it up. After my mother died, I felt a freedom and obligation to discover more. What I uncovered was staggering and shocking.”

ABOUT THE BOOK - DISCOVERING TWINS My mother carried secrets and covered them with lies. She didn't mean to. They were thrust upon her. But little by little, her secrets gradually unravelled and became part of my existence. She was terrified that her secrets would be discovered, and this terror dominated her life. My first glimpse came in 1978 when I travelled with my mother to Holland, the country of her birth and my ancestors. I was introduced to relatives I never knew existed, on both sides of the family. Picking up on clues, I realized that my mother's background was Jewish. Dutch Jewish. Holocaust Jewish. She was unable to speak of it, and I was forbidden to bring it up. After my mother died, I felt a freedom and obligation to discover more. What I uncovered was staggering and shocking. Based on true stories, “Discovering Twins” uses historical fiction to bring lost family members to life, non-fiction to recount facts and events, and memoir to unite the two into one.  Winner of the BookView Review Gold Award and the Literary Titan Good Book Award.

Arnold Gutierrez, who goes by the names Xan Frank and ArnoldIsDead, stunned rap fans with a huge inking of the Jewish writer 'the sun news papper' Oct 10, 2017 - Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (German: [anəˈliːs maˈʁiː ˈfʁaŋk], Dutch: [ɑnəˈlis maːˈri ˈfrɑŋk]; 12 June 1929 – February or March 1945)[3] was a German-born Dutch-Jewish diarist. One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the #Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch; English: The Secret Annex), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's best known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. #AnneFrank Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there with her family at the age of four and a half when the Nazis gained control over Germany. Born a German national, she lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the Franks went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father, Otto Frank, worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, she kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. In October or November 1944, Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen #concentrationcamp, where they died (probably of typhus) a few months later. They were originally estimated by the Red Cross to have died in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as their official date of death, but research by the Anne Frank House in 2015 suggests it is more likely that they died in February.[3] Otto, the only survivor of the Franks, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 70 languages. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

Joshua Lyon talks about Edie Windsor’s memoir “A Wild And Precious Life” published by St. Martin’s Press with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. Lyon began collaborating with Windsor before her passing in 2017 and completed the memoir with cooperation from Edie’s spouse Judith Kasen-Windsor who provided Edie’s extensive archive of personal papers dating back to the 1940s. “A Wild And Precious Life” shares intimate fascinating details of Windsor’s personal life, career pursuits and loves from her adventures in Greenwich Village lesbian bars in the 1950s while pursuing a master’s degree in mathematics at NYU to her extensive work at IBM as well as her activist awakening and epic love affair with Thea Spyer. Edie met Spyer in the 1960’s whose Dutch Jewish family had fled the Nazis and went on to become a successful clinical psychologist whose work was crucial during the AIDS crisis counseling our LGBTQ community. Their partnership lasted 44 years until Thea’s passing in 2009. With the federal government refusing to acknowledge their Canadian marriage Windsor was then required to pay $363,053 in federal estate taxes on her wife's estate which led to the 2013 Supreme Court case United States v. Windsor that successfully overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act leading to marriage equality becoming the law of the land in 2015. Edie found love again marrying Judith Kasen-Windsor in 2016 who stated, “With irreverent and unexpected stories this memoir chronicles the struggles and passions that drove her extraordinary life. It’s an important part of her legacy, a gift to all who will continue her message of hope, strength and courage. Edie proved that love does, in fact, win.” We talked to Joshua about what he hopes to accomplish with this book and his spin on our LGBTQ issues. Joshua Lyon is an American journalist and the author of “Pill Head: The Secret Life of a Painkiller Addict”. He has ghostwritten several New York Times bestselling memoirs for celebrities and LGBTQ icons and activists. Lyon stated, “Collaborating with Edie was the most thrilling and humbling experience of my career. I’m so excited for the world to learn even more about this fiercely intelligent and wildly funny woman, a true lover and fighter who continues to inspire.” The title of the memoir “A Wild And Precious Life” comes from a line in the poem “A Summer Day” by Mary Oliver which Hillary Clinton quoted in her eulogy for Edie.

​Host Nancy Kahn ​is joined by Dr. Barbara Morrill who presents Part II of our series on the life of​ ​Etty Hillesum​. Etty was a ​young Dutch Jewish woman of twenty-seven, ​who ​found an inner path to liberation, and ‘union with the ground of her being' in the face of the horror of her times, the Nazi genocide sweeping across Europe, which ultimately engulfed Etty and her family in late 1943.  The life of Etty Hillesum moved from chaotic family dysfunction, to the healing of her own inner distress, depression, mood swings and somatic complaints, toward a vast inner life of spaciousness and presence, even with the awareness of the Nazi ​​horrors that awaited European Jewry.  Her mode of resistance was journal writing, and contributing to others, and as Denise de Costa says, ‘It was with her pen, rather than with her sword that she battled to save humanity.' (de Costa, 1998​). Dr. Morrill​ explores aspects of Etty Hillesum's process of transcending the ​​hate ​of​ her time, by “reposing in herself” which may be seen as a model for engaging the seemingly ubiquitous rise of nationalism, neo-facism or ​neol​iberalism throughout much of Europe and the United States in our time, and in a broader sense, the tension that exists between democratic and fascist principles, or open and closed systems in all times. ​   Listen live on Sunday, 1​1/17​, at 7 pm on KPFA Radio (94.1 FM Berkeley and beyond) or visit the archives at kpfa.org/program/talk-it-out-radio or iTunes. Barbara Morrill, PhD, is core faculty and former chair of the Integral Counseling Psychology Program at The California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. She is a Clinical Psychologist licensed in CA, and has been in private practice in Palo Alto for 28 years. Barbara has spent much of her life exploring women's social, psychological, and spiritual development, with an emphasis on intergenerational trauma. Her doctoral dissertation was entitled: Quest for Wholeness; The Individuation Process of Seven African American Women. Barbara's study of Etty Hillesum began in 2000, culminating with a presentation at the 2008 International Transpersonal Congress, New Delhi, India, entitled Being in the Face of Annihilation: Transformation Through Writing as Inquiry in the lives of two Dutch Women During the Holocaust: Etty Hillesum (1914-1943) and Jetteke Frijda (1925-present). Her continued study has been about the Evolution of Consciousness as well as a spiritual practitioner with The Diamond Approach with A.H. Almaas and Karen Johnson for 14 years. She presented on Unfolding Toward Being; Etty Hillesum and the Evolution of Consciousness in January, 2014 at the Second International Congress of the Etty Hillesum Research Center at Ghent University in Belgium.  This was published in the on-line Journal, Integral Review in 2015.  Barbara presented at the Third International Congress in September, 2018 in Middelburg, Holland: The Contours of These Times; Etty Hillesum as Chronicler of Love Transcending Hate in Her Times, for Our Time, For All Time. This article will be published in a book entitled: The Lasting Significance of Etty Hillesum's Writings in November 2019 published by the Amsterdam University Press. Her Masters work was done at Boston College and Doctoral work at the former Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, now Sofia University. The post Dr. Barbara Morrill presents: Etty Hillesum – Her Times, Our Times and All Times; Inner and Outer Resistance in the Face of Dehumanization and Genocide appeared first on KPFA.

In April 1945 a 15-year-old Dutch Jewish girl, Hetty Werkendam, was interviewed by the BBC in the Nazi concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen shortly after its liberation by the British. Mike Lanchin travels to the site of Bergen-Belsen in Germany with the now 88-year-old Hetty and her family. Hetty vividly recalls the deprivations of the camp, and of seeing the dead bodies piling up outside the children's barracks. Hetty says its a story that needs to be told again and again in order not to be forgotten by the next generation.
