May 1945. The Reich is in ruins. Hitler is dead. Yet for the US Army's Counter Intelligence Corps, the real war has just begun. They Shall Not See the Dawn: The Manhunt for the Third Reich's Most Wanted (Diversion Books, 2026) by Charles Lachman is the true historical thriller following a secret unit of American agents, drawn from every walk of life, hunting Hitler's inner circle—the dangerous henchmen still at large and feared to be carrying their Führer's final political testament, orders for a guerilla resistance, and plans for rocket and nuclear programs hidden in mountain strongholds. It was a race against time to capture World War II's most notorious Nazis before they could vanish or rally a new resistance. The CIC men leading the greatest manhunt in history were scholars, motivated college students, an actor, linguists, young draftees and refugees—men like Henry Kissinger—armed not just with guns, but with intellect, intuition, and sheer daring. Their quarry included Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the monstrous Gestapo chief; Julius Streicher, Hitler's notorious “Jew-baiter”; Robert Ley, master of slave labor; and other high-ranking war criminals desperate to escape justice. Against all odds, the CIC brought them down, ensuring their places in the dock at Nuremberg. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Stanley Booker volunteered for aircrew at the age of 18 and qualified as an observer, flying operations with 10 Squadron in the summer of 1944. Shot down just before D-Day, he was betrayed to the Gestapo and imprisoned in Fresnes, the notorious gaol on the outskirts of Paris, where he was subjected to a brutal interrogation and torture at the hands of the SS. His experiences troubled him for the rest of his life. Rather than being treated as a prisoner of war, Stanley was one of 168 airmen transported to Buchenwald Concentration camp to await execution as ‘Terror Flyers', only to be saved at the eleventh house by the intervention of the Luftwaffe. On his ultimate return to England no-one wanted to believe where he had been or what he had seen. So began an 80-year battle with the authorities to prove what had happened, and to receive the recognition which he and his fellow prisoners were due, as well as ensuring those servicemen who had died or were murdered in the camp were properly commemorated.Catch Giles live - 'Let's Talk' - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - from 10.00CET...on tre.radio
Bond yields surge as governments borrow for war and rearmament / Whistleblower warns Postal Service will deny mail ballots to millions under Trump scheme / Blood on their hands: Trump's immigration Gestapo drives Haitian student Pierre Damas Bel to suicide
“It's a dying gasp of white supremacy — and I say dying with a caveat, because that part depends on us.” — Sonali Kolhatkar Yesterday, Wendy Lesser suggested that Americans can learn much from the anti-fascist history of Berlin in the 1930s. Today, Rising Up With Sonali host Sonali Kolhatkar is even more explicit. Yes, she argues in her new book, Breaking ICE, the 2020s are eerily similar to the 1930s, especially in what she calls “state terror” and “MAGA fascism.” In 2023, Sonali Kolhatkar came on this show to talk about Rising Up, a book about the power of narrative. Three years later, her new book describes what she sees as the dying gasp of white supremacy. But to fully die, she argues, the community needs to rise up. So, like the perennial fascist threat, the ability to tell stories is a perpetual feature of politics. Thus Breaking ICE, Kolhatkar's story of stories about community defense against MAGA fascism. Five Takeaways • Narrative Is Everything. The crackdown, Kolhatkar argues, was built on stories: immigrants “poisoning the blood of the nation” — Hitlerian language, used repeatedly — recast a population of workers and families as criminals, justifying the funding, the raids, and the denial of due process. The counternarrative is her book's project: the activists who retold the story of ICE agents as Gestapo-like masked thugs, and did it so successfully that public opinion has swung back. Trump, she argues, overplayed his hand — every day brings another story of a Trump voter whose spouse is deported at a routine check-in, protesting “this is not what we voted for.” The sequel to Rising Up thus practices what that book preached: narrative as the primary weapon of politics — a weapon, she notes via Springsteen and the protest singers, that artists have always wielded and the right has lately understood better than the left.• A Dying Gasp — With a Caveat. Asked flatly whether this is a repeat of the 1930s, Kolhatkar answers yes — and adds that the echo is deliberate, down to “homeland,” a favorite term of the Nazis that George W. Bush domesticated. But the deeper lineage is homegrown: her interviewees Ibram X. Kendi and Robin D. G. Kelley trace American fascism through Native dispossession and mass enslavement — authoritarian, anti-democratic, racist. ICE, on this reading, is simply race-based policing restored. Hence her verdict: “a dying gasp of white supremacy,” with the caveat that the dying depends on us. No magic bullets, no finish line: “democracy is an ongoing exercise. There is no resting when it comes to freedom.” Fittingly, the episode lands the day after Wendy Lesser's Berlin hour — Kolhatkar making explicit what the cautionary mirror implied.• The Mamdani Lesson. The hour's sharpest political analysis: flip the script on electoral politics. Politicians want elections as popularity contests — “this is who I am, who's behind me?” — when voters should be saying “this is what we want, who will back our demands?” The not-Trump ad is the losing move: it was Hillary Clinton's approach, Kamala Harris's approach, and now Xavier Becerra's in California. The winning move is Zohran Mamdani's: voters could instantly name what he was for — free buses, city-run grocery stores, rent control, universal childcare, fixed potholes. Her model is the civil rights movement, which didn't wait for a savior politician but marched and forced hands. And her defense against the radicalism charge: what the American left demands — healthcare for all — is centrist in Europe. If public schools are education for all, why not Medicare for All? And to Andrew's pushback — doesn't Abolish ICE alienate the persuadable middle? — her answer is the polling: majorities already oppose the raids, because Trump overreached.• What State Terror Looks Like. The subtitle's claim, cashed out: downtown Los Angeles under curfew, freeways shut, armed National Guardsmen at the federal buildings — and the refrain she heard nationwide: who will save us from these masked thugs? The realization that the police belong to the same structure taught the lesson in her credo: only the people can save the people. The terror is bureaucratic as much as theatrical — green-card applicants seized at airports en route to see friends, families ripped apart, and 20,000 immigrant children stripped of legal representation in defiance of a law George W. Bush signed (“who we thought at the time was the fascist authoritarian and is now, you know, like a Democrat”). Against it, the book's nineteen voices — from Maine to Georgia to LA — deploy whistles, bullhorns, patrols, documentation, and, in a civil-rights echo, holding hands and singing to bring the temperature down. With Viet Thanh Nguyen, Kendi, Kelley, and a foreword by Roberto Lovato supplying the long view.• Detention Centers & Data Centers. The conversation's bridge to this show's long Luddite summer: Kolhatkar sees the fight against immigrant detention centers and the fight against AI data centers as one struggle, since both, she argues, distract from and serve the same billionaire fleecing — “if we are busy blaming the day laborer at the street corner for stealing our job, we're not gonna look at what Elon Musk has done.” Even MAGA voters, she notes, don't want to live next to either. On movements that wither, her revision: Black Lives Matter didn't fizzle, it was muzzled — Musk bought Black Twitter, its biggest bullhorn — and its abolitionist platform reads as current as ever: take the first four letters away from police, and you're left with ICE. Her ask of journalism itself: solutions journalism — start with how people are fighting back, not one more story of how they're being crushed.

Jane Rogoyska, author of Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War, Part Two: Rogoyska details how German anti-fascists and French Jews fled Paris for Marseilles and Spain in 1941. While Heinrich Mann escaped successfully, philosopher Walter Benjamin tragically committed suicide at the Spanish border. Rogoyska notes that Samuel Beckettjoined the resistance after Paul Léon's arrest. The Abwehr, aided by the treacherous priest Robert Alesch, infiltrated resistance networks, but was sidelined as the Gestapo's brutality worsened. Post-war, the Lutetia hotel became a repatriation center processing concentration camp survivors. Beckett survived and wrote literary masterpieces, while Alesch was executed. (6)
TONIGHT-CONTENTS-8-26-2026California Swells Weather And Nevada CasinosJeff Bliss discusses a massive southern ocean swell creating rare surfing conditions at Newport Harbor's channel. Driven by an intense tropical storm off Mexico, California is experiencing unprecedented humidity and a nearly five-degree Fahrenheit rise in ocean temperatures, prompting a surge in marine life including hammerhead and great white sharks. Turning to Nevada, Bliss describes the K-shaped economy, where Las Vegas strip casinos profit from wealthy international tourists, while local traffic declines. He details In-N-Out's slow, quality-controlled eastward expansion and concludes with Berkeley's controversial, permissive approach toward housing campus homeless encampments, noting they receive government-funded clean needles and glass pipes. (1)Separation Of Powers And Election FraudRichard Epstein discusses a federal ruling by Judge Indira Talwani blocking the Trump administration's postal mail-in voting regulations for the 2026 midterms. Epstein asserts the administration overstepped, as the Constitution explicitly delegates election regulation to Congress, not the executive. He criticizes Chief Justice John Roberts's defense of the unitary executive, calling his opinions a disgrace that allows executive power to swamp both the legislature and the judiciary. Lastly, Epstein references Paul Krugman's views on Trump's destructive physical and institutional teardown of Washington and laments how flawed standing doctrines prevent ordinary citizens from legally challenging executive overreach in federal court. (2)Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center details the alarming surge of the United States gross national debt to record heights, exceeding forty trillion dollars. She argues that the country suffers from an out-of-control spending problem rather than a lack of tax revenue, citing massive unpaid pandemic spending. De Rugy blames both political parties for avoiding structural reforms and warns of the critical 2032 deadline when Social Security and Medicare funding will face automatic, severe cuts. She predicts that Congress will resort to further debt and inflation, which will heavily penalize the public, while indebted European nations face similar struggles. (3)Economic Boom In Idyllic Lancaster CountyJim McTague details the thriving post-pandemic economy of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Tourism remains robust, with attractions like the Renaissance Faire drawing two hundred thousand visitors annually. The local real estate market is red-hot, with retirees purchasing existing homes with cash and bid-ups creating million-dollar McMansions. McTague notes that rising inflation has packed Costco aisles with middle-class shoppers seeking the famous five-dollar loss-leader rotisserie chickens. He also discusses local commercial resistance to data centers, explaining how the impoverished borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative data center deal that would have solved its fiscal deficits, while baby boomers power local restaurants. (4)Small Business Growth And AI IntegrationGene Marks reports on his travels, conversing with host John Batchelor about a Quebec credit union conference where executives discussed loans, competitiveness, and adopting AI in front and back offices. Due to high mortgage rates, credit unions are shifting focus toward commercial loans. In Atlanta's thriving steel industry, tariffs have boosted competitiveness, and companies are deploying AI-powered robotic arms, gloves, and dogs to improve safety. Finally, a recent Pew Research survey indicates that Gen X is leading AI adoption because older, established professionals feel more secure than younger generations, though Marks calls the fear of job loss an urban legend. (5)French Resistance And World War ExileJane Rogoyska, author of Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War, Part Two: Rogoyska details how German anti-fascists and French Jews fled Paris for Marseilles and Spain in 1941. While Heinrich Mann escaped successfully, philosopher Walter Benjamin tragically committed suicide at the Spanish border. Rogoyska notes that Samuel Beckettjoined the resistance after Paul Léon's arrest. The Abwehr, aided by the treacherous priest Robert Alesch, infiltrated resistance networks, but was sidelined as the Gestapo's brutality worsened. Post-war, the Lutetia hotel became a repatriation center processing concentration camp survivors. Beckett survived and wrote literary masterpieces, while Alesch was executed. (6)Nuclear Politics And Precision Guided WarfareHenry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, discusses the unpublicized nuclear cooperative agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia. He warns host John Batchelor that keeping side agreements secret from the American public prevents Congressional oversight. Saudi Arabia refuses to sign the additional protocol for inspections, claiming it violates sovereignty. Sokolski also highlights Poland's conflicting stances on hosting nuclear weapons, Germany's interest in funding the United Kingdom's Trident submarine program, and how Russia uses precision-guided munitions to target civilians and demoralize Ukraine, moving nuclear weapons further into the background, concluding that this is the new reality. (7)Debating Environmental Politics Of Data CentersKevin Frazier leads a roundtable with Jim McTague and Simon Constable discussing the political and environmental backlash against data centers. Frazier details how Lancaster City welcomed data centers to erase its school district's deficit, while the poorer borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative deal due to local protests. Frazier argues that data centers are vital national infrastructure, defending the construction jobs they create and noting that blocking them harms the digital economy. Finally, Constable shares trivia from his Wall Street Journal quiz, revealing that Virginia leads the United States in data centers, followed globally by the United Kingdom. (8)V

Alle Infos dazu: neuezwanziger.de Vollständige Shownotes mit allen Quellen: https://smalltalk.neuezwanziger.de/t/715 Der Sommersalon 2026, aufgezeichnet am 22. August im Saalbau Bornheim in Frankfurt vor über 600 Zuschauern. Wolfgang hat ein vierstündiges Podcast-Interview des AfD-Spitzenkandidaten Ulrich Siegmund durchgearbeitet, Stefan nimmt die beschlossene Nachrichtendienstreform auseinander, und zum Schluss geht es in den ZDF-Fernsehgarten. 00:00:00 Begrüßung Stefan und Wolfgang eröffnen den Abend aus dem Saalbau Bornheim und gehen die Themen durch. Als nächste Salon-Lektüre kündigen sie Tom Krebs' „Kapital und Krise" für Mitte September an. 00:09:48 Ulrich Siegmund Wolfgang spielt Ausschnitte aus dem vierstündigen Gespräch, das der AfD-Spitzenkandidat für Sachsen-Anhalt dem Podcast „ungeskriptet" von Ben Berndt gegeben hat — Ausschnitte, in denen kaum eine radikale Position vorkommt: Auf einen Stinkefinger kämen 500 bis 800 erhobene Daumen, alle machten Fehler, mit einzelnen Grünen und Linken könne man ein Bier trinken. Wolfgangs Lesart: Die AfD fährt zweigleisig, Hetze auf der einen und Wohlfühlton auf der anderen Seite, und beide Seiten stecken in derselben Wählerperson. Stefan hält Siegmund für AfD-untypisch — halb so alt wie das übliche Personal, mit einem Lob auf Markt und Freiheit. Zum Programm nennt Siegmund Einsparungen von 300 bis 600 Millionen Euro, um beitragsfreie Kindergärten und kostenloses Schulessen zu finanzieren; Wolfgang bezeichnet das als klassisch sozialdemokratische Politik. 01:03:21 Die Geheimdienstreform Stefan spielt Christian Sievers' Anmoderation im „heute journal" zum Kabinettsbeschluss über die Nachrichtendienste ein, in der die Trennung von Polizei und Geheimdienst als Konsequenz aus Gestapo und Nazizeit erklärt wird. Das von Innenminister Alexander Dobrindt vorgelegte Paket begründet Kanzleramtsministerin Nina Warken mit hybriden Angriffen; künftig darf der BND Systeme hacken und der Verfassungsschutz im Einzelfall Wohnungen durchsuchen. Stefans Linie: Es entstehen keine neuen Befugnisse, bestehende wandern von der Polizei zu den Diensten — und für die Polizei in Sachsen-Anhalt könnte künftig Siegmund zuständig sein. Aus einem Deutschlandfunk-Podcast folgen Passagen mit Falk Steiner und Marcus Pindur; Wolfgang hält dagegen, dass ihm das gegenwärtige Personal an diesen Hebeln bereits reicht. 01:36:33 Die Maschinen kommen Autonome Lieferfahrzeuge von DoorDash, 2,82 Millionen fahrerlose Lieferungen in Shenzhen binnen eines Monats, Drohnenshows mit 11.000 Fluggeräten und ein US-General, der einräumt, gegen Schwärme billiger Drohnen weder Sensorik noch Mittel zu haben. Wolfgang schließt daraus, nicht die Befürworter von Abrüstung seien die Phantasten. Dazu Roboter-Halbmarathon in Peking, Ernst Jüngers „Gläserne Bienen", eine Drohnenfabrik im Schiffscontainer und der Milliardenauftrag an Helsing und Stark, den ein ukrainischer Vizekommandeur als wenig hilfreich bezeichnet. 02:01:56 Fernsehgarten Wolfgang hat mehrere Ausgaben gesichtet, weil sich daran ablesen lasse, was in Deutschland als Normalität gelte. Mallorca-Ausgabe mit Elton, 50 Jahre Biene Maja, eine Publikumsgruppe, in der alle Frauen „Gabi" heißen, der 90-jährige Engelbert Humperdinck als Ausnahme und Ralf Möller mit Gottschalk-Vibes. Zum Schluss eine „Reise nach Jerusalem" um 500 Euro Reisegutschein — für Wolfgang der Verteilungskampf in Miniatur, für Stefan an Squid Game erinnernd. 02:29:27 Verabschiedung Wolfgang kündigt an, man sehe sich Ende des Monats wieder, Stefan verabschiedet sich mit „Haut rein". full Wolfgang und Stefan treffen euch in Frankfurt no Stefan Schulz und Wolfgang M.

In this episode, DLSP host Susan Stone brings us the story of Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, famous for inventing the Frankfurt Kitchen, which modernized one of the most important rooms in the home. Driven by her aesthetic mission and her politics, Schütte-Lihotzky designed humanitarian housing, kindergartens, schools, and more during her over 100 years of life, which included stints in the Soviet Union and a Gestapo prison. DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire is on hand to help with the introducing duties.

An der geplanten Reform von Bundesnachrichtendienst und Verfassungsschutz, die ihnen mehr Macht geben soll, gibt es viel Kritik. So besteht die Sorge, dass das sogenannte Trennungsgebot von Nachrichtendiensten und Polizei aufgeweicht wird. Andere kritisieren, dass unklar sei, welchen Auftrag die Nachrichtendienste eigentlich haben. Denn eigentlich müssten sich ihre Befugnisse danach ausrichten. In dieser Folge schauen wir mit dem Historiker Constantin Goschler auf die Geschichte der Nachrichtendienste, die Ursprünge des Trennungsgebots und mit dem Rechtswissenschaftler Matthias Bäcker auf die Aufgaben der Nachrichtendienste. Constantin Goschler ist Professor für Zeitgeschichte an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Nachrichtendienste und Innere Sicherheit gehören zu seinen Forschungsschwerpunkten. Zum Thema hat er unter anderem gemeinsam mit Michael Wala das Standardwerk ist "Keine neue Gestapo" vorgelegt. Matthias Bäcker ist Professor für Öffentliches Recht und Informationsrecht, insbesondere Datenschutzrecht, an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Der Journalist Ronen Steinke sagt über ihn: Er kennt sich mit dem Rechtsgebiet besser aus als die Nachrichtendienste selbst. Vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht ist er schon mehrfach erfolgreich gegen den Bundesnachrichtendienst und das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz angetreten. Ihre Vorträge haben sie am 19. Mai 2026 unter dem Titel "Nie wieder Gestapo? Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der Geheimdienste nach 1945" im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung "Sicherheit und Ordnung: Juristische Kontinuitäten in der Bundesrepublik nach 1945" an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.M. gehalten. Veranstalter*innen waren die Frankfurter Rechtswissenschaftler*innen Andrea Kießling und Matthias Jahn, der auch Richter am Oberlandesgericht ist, sowie Ronen Steinke, Journalist, Publizist, Jurist und als solcher Lehrbeauftragter ebenfalls an der Uni Frankfurt, in Kooperation mit der Goethe-Universität. ********** +++ Deutschlandfunk Nova +++ Hörsaal +++ Vortrag +++ Wissen +++ Wissenschaft +++ Geschichtswissenschaft +++ Geschichte +++ Zeitgeschichte +++ Rechtswissenschaft +++ Nachrichtendienstrecht +++ Nachrichtendienste +++ Geheimdienste +++ Bundesnachrichtendienst +++ BND +++ Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz +++ Gestapo +++ NS-Zeit +++ NSDAP +++ SS +++ Staatssicherheit +++ DDR +++ Stasi +++ Spione +++ Spionage +++ Gesetzentwurf +++ Trennungsgebot +++ Demokratie +++ Sicherheit +++ Terrorismus +++ Extremismus +++**********In dieser Folge mit: Moderatorin: Katrin Ohlendorf Erster Vortragender: Constantin Goschler, Professor für Zeitgeschichte, Ruhr-Universität Bochum Zweiter Vortragender: Matthias Bäcker, Professor für Öffentliches Recht und Informationsrecht, insbesondere Datenschutzrecht, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz**********Ihr hört in diesem Hörsaal:0:34 - Hintegrund: Die Reformpläne für die Nachrichtendienste1:59 - Überblick über die Vorträge in dieser Folge3:36 - Constantin Goschler über die Geschichte der Geheimdienste und deren Umgang mit NS-Historie und NS-Personal27:16 - Matthias Bäcker über die Aufgaben der Nachrichtendienste47:21 - Infos zur Aufzeichnung und den Veranstalter*innen der Vorträge**********Quellen aus der Folge:Referentenentwurf des Bundesministeriums des Innern: Entwurf eines Gesetzes zur Reform des Nachrichtendienstrechts, Bearbeitungsstand: 05.07.2026.Rüdiger Bergien (2021): Geschichte der Nachrichtendienste.

Der Bundeskanzler wurde schon als Nazi bezeichnet, Björn Höcke von der AfD natürlich auch. Die Abschiebetruppe ICE in den USA gilt manchen als „Gestapo“. Und selbst Israel wird mit Holocaust-Vorwürfen belegt. Muss das sein? Biesler, Jörg
The first half of the 1970s was not a particularly fruitful period for Peter Sellers, at least in terms of critical and commercial success. He made a slew of films which failed to take off or, in some cases, weren't even released. Some of his worst films date from this period, chiefly the execrable Where Does It Hurt?, which we previously covered on Goon Pod with Paul Litchfield and Jeremy Limb.Those two return this week to tackle Sellers' 1974 wartime 'comedy' Soft Beds, Hard Battles, in which he takes on six roles – an elderly French General, a gung-ho British Major, a sinister Gestapo officer, a Japanese Prince, the President of France and, er, Adolf Hitler.While not as bad as Where Does It Hurt? (few things are), SBHB is a bit of a slog, an attempt by the Boulting Brothers to cash in on the then-vogue for sex comedies without fully committing, while weighing the film down with ill-judged set-pieces such as a group of German officers farting, belching and dying.It was during the production that Sellers embarked upon a six-week romance with Liza Minnelli, which was front-page news and rather got in the way of filming. An unhappy affair all round, the Boultings ended up losing a lot of money, the film was generally panned and didn't do much business at the box office.Join Jeremy, Paul and Tyler as they try to make sense of it all!
Im Juli 1944 gingen SS und Gestapo im Salzburger Pongau gegen Kriegsdienstverweigerer und Deserteure vor, die sich in der Gemeinde Goldegg versteckt hatten. Dutzende Menschen wurden bei einer Razzia festgenommen und in Konzentrationslager gebracht. Bei den Goldegger Erinnerungstagen wird der Opfer gedacht. Der Schriftsteller Robert Menasse zieht dabei den Bogen vom „Nie Wieder" beim Gedenken an die Opfer der Nazis bis zur politischen Aktualität von heute. Hosted on Acast.

Ultimi giorni di guerra. La Germania è sconvolta dalle invasioni degli Alleati. Due amici, Konrad e Alois, disertano per cercare di raggiungere Berlino, prima che cada nelle mani dei sovietici. Hanno collaborato per anni al Progetto Linz, sottraendo ai proprietari, spesso ebrei, opere d'arte dal valore inestimabile.

E le bande di giovanissimi invasati del Werwolf, le corti marziali itineranti per giustiziare i disfattisti, le squadre della Gestapo a caccia dei disertori, si rivelano più pericolose e spietate degli stessi nemici.

Red May, a month-long spree of red arts, red theory, and red politics based in Seattle, Washington, gathers each spring to discuss a world beyond capitalism. For this year's event at Town Hall Seattle, Red May brings together a panel to discuss policing in the age of ICE. "Counterinsurgency has come home. Since the end of the Vietnam War, innovations in militarized policing have come one after another. No knock raids. AI surveillance. Clear and hold neighborhoods. Each new tactic or strategy has been rubber-stamped in Congress by both Democrats and Republicans under the guise of a never-ending War on Crime. Now, the Trump administration has fashioned its own masked Gestapo; it has taken an existing organization designed for border control (ICE) and built it into a private army serving at the prerogative of the President, most egregiously for assaults on Democrat-run cities like Portland, and Chicago and the murder of protestors, reclassified as 'domestic terrorists.' How did we get here? How do we get out of here?" Join Red May and a panel of scholars to guide us through the labyrinth. Stuart Schrader is Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins and the Director of the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism.

Today I welcome author and physician Jonathan Hammel to discuss his powerful historical novel, The Jewish Hospital. Inspired by his grandmother—a wartime nurse who survived deportation and later founded the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine—Hammel spent a decade researching the incredible history of Berlin's Jewish Hospital. Operating under direct Gestapo supervision, the institution remained open throughout World War II, creating a deeply complex environment where Jewish medical staff treated patients under constant threat. Hammel beautifully blends rigorous research with narrative prose, relying on his own medical background to write about this claustrophobic reality with absolute authority. Our conversation also went into the profound ethical concept of "dual loyalty" in medicine and the immense emotional toll carried by healthcare workers. Because of these deep themes, the novel is quickly becoming a vital educational tool, earning spots on bioethics and medical school curricula at universities like Case Western and UPenn. Beyond his writing, Jonathan Hammel is a talented jazz pianist who released the solo album Shadowboxing for Comfort, and he previously hosted The Blood Flow Podcast.

A day after an anti-ICE extremist tried to firebomb 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, the host breaks down what actually happened — and who's been cheering it on. FBI and NYPD press conference footage reveals the suspect, 43-year-old Army veteran Andrew Arrabaca, showed up armed with gasoline, fireworks, an airsoft rifle, two axes, a hammer, a machete, and three knives, wounding three people. The host contrasts the muted response from NYC Mayor and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani with resurfaced footage of Mamdani confronting Tom Homan as a state assemblyman, and argues that Democratic rhetoric branding ICE as "Gestapo" and a "secret police" is fueling real-world violence against federal agents.

Mother Maria was born in Latvia in 1891. Like many of the pre-Revolutionary Russian intelligenstia, she was an atheist and a political radical in her youth, but gradually came to accept the truths of the Faith. After the Revolution, she became part of the large Russian emigre population of Paris. There she was tonsured as a nun by Metropolitan Evlogy, and devoted herself to a life of service to the poor. With a small community of fellow-believers, she established 'houses of hospitality' for the poor, the homeless, and the alcoholic, and visited Russian emigres in mental hospitals. In 1939 Metropolitan Evlogy sent the young priest Fr Dimitry to serve Mother Maria's community; he proved to be a partner, committed even unto death, in the community's work among the poor. When the Nazis took Paris in 1940, Mother Maria, Fr Dimitry, and others of the community chose to remain in the city to care for those who had come to count on them. As Nazi persecution of Jews in France increased, the Orthodox community's work naturally expanded to include protection and care of these most helpless ones. Father Dimitri was asked to provide forged certificates of baptism to preserve the lives of Jews, and always complied. Eventually, this work led to the arrest of Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and their associates. A fragment survives of the Gestapo's interrogation of Fr Dimitri: Hoffman: If we release you, will you give your word never again to aid Jews? Klepinin: I can say no such thing. I am a Christian and must act as I must. (Hoffman struck Klepinin across the face.) Hoffman: Jew lover! How dare you talk of helping those swine as being a Christian duty! (Klepinin, recovering his balance, held up the cross from his cassock.) Klepinin: Do you know this Jew? (For this, Father Dimitri was knocked to the floor.) "Your priest did himself in," Hoffman said afterward to Sophia Pilenko. "He insists that if he were to be freed, he would act exactly as before." Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and several of their colleages, were sent to the Nazi concentration camps (Mother Maria to Ravensbruck, Fr Dimitri to Buchenwald) where, after great sufferings, they perished. It is believed that Mother Maria's last act was to take the place of a Jew being sent to death, voluntarily dying in his place. A full account of their life and death is given on the site of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. Mother Maria and her companions were glorified by the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2004.
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA signature can look like safety, right up until the day it becomes worthless ink. We take you back to 1933 Germany to watch a deal get made with Adolf Hitler and then dismantled piece by piece, revealing why legal guarantees cannot protect anyone when an authoritarian regime treats law as theater.We set the context most people miss: German Catholics had lived through decades of hostility stretching back to Bismarck's Kulturkampf, and the chaos of Weimar Germany made the desire for a binding national promise feel urgent. When Hitler needs the Center Party's votes to lock in power, he offers a trade that sounds “practical” on paper: the Reichskonkordat will protect Catholic schools, parishes, and legal standing, and in return the Church steps out of politics. Then the reality hits. Youth groups disappear, priests are surveilled, and the regime's attacks on human dignity keep escalating.From there, we draw a clear modern parallel to the Vatican's agreement with the Chinese Communist government over bishop appointments, renewed through 2028, and Cardinal Joseph Zen's public warnings about the underground Church being left behind. The question underneath both stories is the same: what actually protects the vulnerable when the people in power do not believe truth is real?We end with the turning point in 1937, when Pope Pius XI releases Mit Brennender Sorge, smuggled into Germany and read from pulpits under the Gestapo's nose, calling Catholics to spiritual resistance and naming the poison even when politics refuses to. If you care about religious freedom, church-state relations, and the limits of diplomacy under authoritarianism, this one will stay with you. Key Points from the Episode:• German Catholics shaped by decades of harassment under Kulturkampf • Weimar instability fueling a desire for national legal guarantees • Hitler trading “protection” for the Church's silence in politics • The Reichskonkordat's promises contrasted with immediate Nazi violations • Why agreements fail when leaders reject truth and justice • Parallels to the Vatican's China agreement and Cardinal Joseph Zen's warnings • Mit Brennender Sorge as a shift from diplomacy to defiance • The covert distribution effort and the risk taken by clergy and laity • The persecution that followed, including imprisonment and deaths at Dachau Be sure to check out our show page at TeamMojoAcademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources.

Ve speciálu Kecy a politika probereme úlohu tajné policie minulého režimu (Státní bezpečnosti, zkráceně StB). Tato tajná služba se lišila od podobných speciálních služeb demokratických zemí tím, že ve svých rukou nejen shromažďovala informace, ale také aktivně vyslýchala, mučila a konstruovala politické procesy. V padesátých letech se dokonce komunistickým politikům vymkla z rukou a postavila se nad ně.Padesátá léta jsou skutečným temnem českých dějin, kdy Češi vůči Čechům masově páchali nezákonnosti. Dobře o tom vypovídá kniha autorů Hejla a Kaplana s názvem Zpráva o organizovaném násilí. Když po listopadu 1989 padl komunistický režim, očekávalo se, že důstojníci StB ponesou odpovědnost za jimi organizované nezákonnosti a často i justiční vraždy. Výsledkem je méně než deset důstojníků StB odsouzených k nepodmíněným trestům.V roce 2019 byl podle skutečného příběhu odbojáře Pravomila Rajchla natočen film Staříci. Rajchl, účastník druhého i třetího odboje, chtěl zastřelit justičního vraha, prokurátora Karla Vaše. Ten v padesátých letech přišel s více než stovkou trestů smrti pro demokratické odpůrce komunistického režimu. Významně se podílel na justiční vraždě generála Heliodora Píky, který byl za druhé světové války velitelem československé vojenské mise v Sovětském svazu. Rajchl tam vstoupil do jednotky a bojoval u Sokolova, Kyjeva a Bílé Cerkve.Dvanáct let čekal na odsouzení Karla Vaše. V roce 2001 byl bývalý rudý prokurátor odsouzen k sedmi letům vězení za podíl na justiční vraždě. Vrchní soud však trest zrušil z důvodu promlčení a Nejvyšší soud to potvrdil. Rajchl se proto rozhodl vzít spravedlnost do vlastních rukou, ale den před útokem na Karla Vaše zemřel.Měl z hlediska vyššího principu mravního právo ho zastřelit? O těchto a dalších příbězích v novém speciálu podcastu.
En la primavera de 1944, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, teólogo alemán encarcelado por la Gestapo por resistir activamente al régimen nazi, escribió desde su celda en la prisión de Tegel: “Hay momentos en que tenemos que decidir definitivamente y actuar”. Tenía plena conciencia de que podría ser ejecutado. Lo fue el 9 de abril de 1945, pocas semanas antes del fin de la guerra. Lo que eligió en la bifurcación del camino, sabiendo el costo, produjo cartas, escritos y un testimonio que siguen formando a la iglesia ochenta años después. Las bifurcaciones de camino revelan en qué se apoya realmente la fe. Cuando la decisión cuesta algo concreto, la convicción queda expuesta. No se trata de heroísmo; se trata de obediencia sostenida en la confianza de que Dios acompaña a quienes lo siguen aunque el costo sea real. ¿Hay una decisión que has postergado porque el costo es claro? No la evadas más. Preséntala a Dios con honestidad hoy. La claridad para avanzar no siempre viene antes de dar el paso; a veces viene al darlo. La Biblia dice en Josué 24:15: "Escogeos hoy a quién sirváis". (RV1960).

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, os serviços de inteligência desempenharam papel decisivo nas operações de resistência e espionagem realizadas nos territórios ocupados pela Alemanha nazista. Entre os agentes que atuaram nesse cenário, Virginia Hall destacou-se por sua participação em missões clandestinas na França, organizando redes de resistência, coordenando sabotagens, transmitindo informações estratégicas e auxiliando na preparação de operações aliadas. Mesmo após perder parte de uma das pernas em um acidente antes da guerra, Hall conduziu algumas das mais arriscadas missões do conflito, tornando-se uma das agentes mais procuradas pela Gestapo. Sua trajetória evidencia a importância das atividades de inteligência para o esforço de guerra e o papel frequentemente invisibilizado de mulheres que atuaram em operações secretas durante o conflito. Convidamos Clara Schettini para analisar a atuação de Virginia Hall na resistência francesa, o funcionamento das redes de espionagem aliadas, os desafios enfrentados pelos agentes em território ocupado e o legado de uma das mais importantes espiãs da Segunda Guerra Mundial.Roteiro: Icles RodriguesEdição: Samuel GambiniInstagram: @iclesrodriguesPIX: leituraobrigahistoria@gmail.comAdquira o curso História: da pesquisa à escrita por apenas R$ 49,90 CLICANDO AQUIAdquira o curso A Operação Historiográfica para Michel de Certeau por apenas R$ 24,90 CLICANDO AQUIAdquira o curso O ofício do historiador para Marc Bloch por apenas R$ 29,90 CLICANDO AQUIColabore com nosso trabalho em apoia.se/obrigahistoria

For most of its history, Germany's foreign intelligence service was built to watch, not to act — a constraint rooted in the country's experience of the Gestapo and the Stasi. A sweeping draft law would change that, letting the BND conduct sabotage, covert interference, and offensive cyber operations for the first time. Chris speaks with German investigative journalist Florian Flade, among the first to report on the draft, about what's driving the overhaul — Russia's war and hybrid campaign, and eroding trust in Washington under Trump — and the unease that lingers around empowering services that once served dictatorships.

Was Hugh Nibley wrong? Is global capitalism compatible with a Zion society? And when is a Latter-day Saint actually justified in defying a corrupt, oppressive government? https://youtu.be/IWZgHZT5Q9w Don't miss our other conversations Nathan: https://gospeltangents.com/people/nathan-oman Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Hugh Nibley was wrong? First, Professor Oman challenges the popular anti-capitalist teachings of the legendary LDS scholar Hugh Nibley. While Nibley viewed commerce as being driven primarily by greed and pride, Oman argues for the 18th-century ideal of doux commerce (“sweet commerce”). He explains how the necessity of trade actually forces us to consider the needs of others and argues that markets have done more to alleviate global poverty than any other economic system. While acknowledging that the modern global economic order is not Zion, Oman points out that early Mormon revelations—such as those concerning the for-profit Nauvoo House—prove that commerce and markets will absolutely be a part of a Zion society. Then, the conversation pivots to the agonizing moral paradox of civil disobedience and the 12th Article of Faith. Civil Disobedience Using the tragic story of Helmuth Hübener—a young Latter-day Saint who was excommunicated and executed by the Gestapo for distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets—Oman explores why the Church historically demands strict legal obedience to survive under hostile regimes. From the East German Stasi to Pinochet’s Chile, we explore the dangerous tightrope the Church must walk. Does strict obedience to the law risk moral complicity with dictators, or is it a necessary safeguard to protect a vulnerable church from being entirely suppressed? Oman argues that there are no easy answers when balancing the dangers of institutional complicity against the naive, potentially destructive consequences of grand individual defiance. Be sure to check out Professor Nathan Oman’s extensive work on these topics in his two-volume set, Law and the Restoration, as well as his newest book from Oxford University Press, Living Oracles!

Against persistent fear of death, mortality avoidance, and the vices that emerge from terror management, this episode offers a personal testimony of a Christian experience of dying. With scientific precision, disarming honesty, and immense gratitude for life, biologist Jeff Schloss offers an intimate, firsthand account of his recent diagnosis of an extremely rare terminal neurological disease: multiple system atrophy (MSA). His doctors put the prognosis plainly: "It is terminal, it is incurable, and it's rapidly progressive." A longtime and beloved Westmont College biology professor and senior scholar at BioLogos, Schloss offers speaks directly to the experience of dying—as he encounters each new week of this rapidly progressive disease. He reconsiders the meaning of a "good death": increased gratitude and awareness of gift, the reality of pain, the loss of surfing and guitar-playing, the sacredness of family, and the surprising nearness of Christ as everything else falls away. A profound witness to Christian attitudes about life and death, Schloss seeks not a hero's death, but a daily, humble life-giving commerce with Christ. Schloss revisits a life that began in a nonreligious Jewish refugee family and pivoted through a dramatic conversion as a college-dropout surf bum in Hawaii. He traces what has changed, and what hasn't, now that death is no longer an abstraction but a daily fact in his body. With pastoral care and hope, Mark Labberton explores with Schloss what it means to experience dying rather than simply anticipate it, the grief of losing fifty years of surfing and guitar-playing to pain and paralysis, the gift of Simone Weil's writing on suffering, the Heidelberg Catechism's opening words on "our only comfort in life and in death," and the difference between the thrill of surfing and the sacredness of family and commerce with Christ. Episode Highlights I knew from the second grade that I wanted to be a scientist. I was out collecting butterflies and dragonflies and looking through microscopes at all sorts of things that I couldn't believe were there. As we were talking, it just occurred to me ... he either had what I wanted, or he was clinically crazy. It is terminal, it is incurable, and it's rapidly progressive ... the process of dying I find it fascinating ... It's not fun, but it is fascinating. She wasn't sad just for herself, I'm gonna lose you. And she wasn't sad empathetically just for me, so sorry for you. It was a joint sadness that the life we had hoped to share together, we are not gonna have. The things that are most life giving are out of reach ... I've come to see it's actually not true. The things that have been delightful are out of reach ... the thing that is most life giving, and that is commerce with Christ. I think it was the single most thrilling day of my entire life ... I said, no, those weren't thrilling, those were sacred. I don't want to market this season. I'm not looking for a hero's death, or any kind of publicly attended death. I would have never guessed that in this home stretch, my son and wife could carry me up the slopes of Yosemite Valley. About Jeff Schloss Jeff Schloss has spent four decades at the intersection of evolutionary biology and Christian theology. Now retired as Distinguished Professor of Biology at Westmont College, he continues as senior scholar at BioLogos, working alongside Francis Collins for more than fifteen years. He co-edited "The Believing Primate: Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Reflections on the Origin of Religion" and "Evolution and Ethics: Human Morality in Biological and Religious Perspective," a Templeton Science-Religion Book of Distinction winner.

Entre 1942 y 1943, Irena Sendler, trabajadora social polaca, sacó a dos mil quinientos niños judíos del Gueto de Varsovia ocultándolos en ambulancias, cajas de herramientas y ataúdes. Fue arrestada, torturada y condenada a muerte por la Gestapo. Ella no delató a nadie. Cuando le preguntaron por qué lo había hecho, respondió que no veía otra opción. No buscó ser heroína. Vio una necesidad y respondió. Isaías describe uno de los momentos más íntimos de la relación entre Dios y un hombre. Después de la visión del trono, después de la purificación, vino la pregunta del Señor: ¿a quién enviaré? El profeta Isaías no evaluó sus calificaciones ni calculó el costo. Respondió: “heme aquí, envíame”. La disponibilidad fue antes de conocer los detalles de la misión. Dios no busca necesariamente al más capacitado; busca al disponible. La pregunta sigue abierta hoy: ¿quién irá? La respuesta más poderosa que puedes dar es: “heme aquí”. La Biblia dice en Isaías 6:8: "Después oí la voz del Señor, que decía: ¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros? Entonces respondí yo: Heme aquí, envíame a mí". (RV1960).
"Most Holocaust memoirs start in camps. This one begins in a Chinese restaurant." — Todd Diamond --- ABOUT THIS EPISODE Todd Diamond is an advertising copywriter turned memoirist, born in Queens, New York, who delivers narratives that are unapologetically raw and darkly humorous — a reflection of the borough that raised him. His book, Pass the Trauma, Please, is a comedy-drama memoir that tells the story of his 95-year-old father David Diamond, a Holocaust survivor whose long-buried secrets started spilling out over Mongolian beef and double scotches at their regular Chinese restaurant dinners. When his father's one editorial demand was "don't be afraid to slip in a few jokes" and "you're no Elie Wiesel," Todd took that as permission to write a Holocaust memoir that refuses to behave — one that uses humor as a Trojan horse to carry in the horrors. Mike and Todd talk about inherited trauma, Studio 54, Zionist justice in seventh-grade home ec class, the art of reverse circumcision, borrowing money from a Manhattan madam, and why the toughest client Todd ever had was his own father. --- KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. The Chinese restaurant as confessional booth. Todd's 92-year-old father began dropping long-buried secrets about his Holocaust survival during their regular Chinese dinner outings. That booth became a Jewish confessional — and the origin of the book. 2. Humor isn't a gimmick, it's inherited. Todd's father demanded the book not be "another Holocaust memoir" with long descriptions of ghetto smells. His survival mechanism was humor, and it became a non-negotiable editorial demand. A researcher from the Poland Museum in Warsaw told Todd this was the first time she'd ever interviewed someone who could talk about his most dramatic past and still make her laugh. 3. The Holocaust memoir that refuses to behave. Todd approached the book as a branding and positioning exercise — treating it as a challenger brand in a crowded market of solemn testimony. The goal: reach readers who might otherwise feel Holocaust fatigue while never diminishing the history. 4. Trauma is genetically inherited. Research from Mount Sinai shows trauma can be genetically passed to children of Holocaust survivors, altering biology and behavior. Todd recognized his own dissociation, addictions, hypervigilance, and anxiety in the findings — though he admits growing up in 1970s Queens with friends who "looked like the cast of The Outsiders but now look like the cast of The Sopranos" probably contributed too. 5. A father-son memoir told while the father is alive. The book evolved from just David's story into an intergenerational memoir — father and son, first and second generation — braided together. Todd describes it as "Vito and Michael Corleone, if they were Jewish." 6. A life beyond the camps. David Diamond was arrested by the Gestapo at 12, smuggled medicines for his physician father, was a slave laborer on a German farm, and a teen soldier in Israel's War of Independence. He then came to America, borrowed $50,000 from a Manhattan madam to open a pharmacy next to her brothel, and sold more condoms than any other store in the country. 7. A bar mitzvah 80 years late. At 92, David finally had his bar mitzvah — the rite of passage stolen by the Gestapo. He crushed his haftorah, surrounded by family and friends. For David, it was an act of defiance: "Hey, you Nazi bastards, I'm still here." 8. Bypass agents, find your niche. Todd went straight to Fig Tree Books, a publisher specializing in the American Jewish experience, after agents quoted six-month timelines he couldn't afford with a father in his 90s. His advice to aspiring writers: look for niche publishers who align with your story. --- GET THE BOOK Pass the Trauma, Please: My Father's Not-So-Depressing Holocaust Memoir about Love, Loss, Laughter, and Legacy by Todd Diamond Amazon: https://amazon.com/Pass-Trauma-Please-not-so-depressing-Holocaust/dp/B0DTZW3X4F?tag=rettocasgra-20 Barnes & Noble: https://barnesandnoble.com/w/pass-the-trauma-please-todd-diamond/1146882261 Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781941493335 --- CONNECT WITH TODD Website: https://todddiamond.net Instagram: @pass_the_trauma_please — https://www.instagram.com/pass_the_trauma_please/ --- CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST Mike Carlon | Uncorking a Story Website: https://uncorkingastory.com YouTube: @uncorkingastory — https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: @uncorkingastory — https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: Uncorking a Story — https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: @uncorkingastory — https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter/X: @uncorkingastory — https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: Uncorking a Story — https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW — It helps more readers and writers find the show!

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 juin 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.MARC BLOCHC'est en 2006, il y a donc 20 ans qu'une tribune d'historiens publiée par Le Figaro réclama l'entrée au panthéon de Marc Bloch. Elle aura donc lieu avec son épouse, Simonne Vidal, 20 ans plus tard. On peut regretter cette attente. Etienne Bloch fils aîné Marc et son interlocuteur privilégié, lui-même résistant à Lyon avant de s'engager dans les FFI puis de rejoindre la 2ème Division Blindée était encore de ce monde qu'il n'a quitté que trois ans plus tard.Résistant, historien, rationaliste républicain, critique des mythologies nationales et profondément patriote : Marc Bloch échappe aux catégories trop simples. Grand médiéviste, auteur des Rois thaumaturges (1924), des Caractères originaux de l'histoire rurale (1931), de La Société féodale (1939) et aussi d'une réflexion posthume sur son « métier d'historien », Apologie pour l'histoire, Marc Bloch a ouvert l'histoire aux apports de la sociologie et de l'ethnologie dans une démarche interdisciplinaire novatrice. En 1920, il noue amitié avec son collègue historien Lucien Febvre. Leur complicité intellectuelle les conduit à fonder ensemble les Annales d'histoire économique et sociale, dont le premier numéro paraît en janvier 1929. La revue exercera une influence considérable sur plusieurs générations d'historiens.Républicain convaincu il partageait les idéaux socialistes : il adhéra à la SFIO, sans pour autant se signaler ni par son militantisme ni par ses prises de position publiques. En 1934, il signe avec Lucien Febvre le manifeste du Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes, mais juge le texte indigent. En 1936, il soutient le Front populaire contre la bourgeoisie d'argent, mais critique Blum et les syndicats, et n'aime pas les communistes. Homme d'action et de responsabilité, Marc Bloch s'est battu en 1914 et s'est réengagé en 1939. En 1940, à chaud, il écrit Témoignage, qui deviendra L'Étrange Défaite. Une analyse au scalpel du désastre de 1940 où il montre que le pays a été battu parce qu'il s'était déjà défait à l'intérieur. L'ouvrage paraîtra à titre posthume en 1946. Ce « procès-verbal » implacable se décompose en trois chapitres : « Présentation du témoin », « La déposition d'un vaincu » et « Examen de conscience d'un Français ». Dans cet ouvrage, l'historien de 53 ans ausculte la société de l'entre-deux-guerres, sa course vers l'abîme, et en appelle à une responsabilité autant individuelle que collective. Il y fustige des stratèges dépassés qui, comme en 1914, lorsqu'ils se référaient aux guerres napoléoniennes, n'ont rien compris à la guerre de mouvement en 1939. Il assemble les pièces d'un puzzle, en historien du contemporain, et procède à la mise en perspective des événements. Pointant notamment la bureaucratie, il n'épargnait personne, ni l'armée, ni les civils, ni la droite, ni la gauche, ni la bourgeoisie, ni ses contempteurs marxistes : « Les défaillances du syndicalisme ouvrier n'ont pas été, dans cette guerre-ci, plus niables que celles des états-majors », affirmait-il, déplorant le fait qu'« on n'a pas assez travaillé, dans les fabrications de guerre ». Il relevait aussi les failles de l'éducation, de l'instruction, de l'esprit de curiosité en général.Après avoir écrit L'Étrange Défaite, persécuté parce que juif, insoumis parce que patriote, le vieux Sorbonnard est entré en 1943 dans la Résistance. Arrêté en mars 1944 par la Gestapo, torturé à la prison Montluc à Lyon, il a été fusillé le 16 juin 1944, à l'âge de 57 ans.LA RÉPUBLIQUEAlors qu'il était entré dans la clandestinité en 1943, Marc Bloch écrivit dans « Pourquoi je suis républicain » : « La République est le régime du peuple ». Cette forme de gouvernement conçu dans l'antiquité connait des interprétations variées. Alors qu'il était admis jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle que la République puisse être aussi bien monarchique, aristocratique ou démocratique, pourvu que soit pris en compte le bien commun, la vision française après Rousseau considère qu'une République bien comprise ne peut être qu'une démocratie. C'est ce que deux historiens du droit, Jacques de Saint-Victor, et Thomas Branthôme, dans leur Histoire de la République en France nomment l'« exclusivisme républicain » français. Les auteurs observent qu'à rebours de ce projet, on voit, depuis quelques années, sous l'influence du modèle anglo-saxon, s'installer des conceptions communautaristes de la démocratie. Dans cette évolution, l'idée laïque, par exemple, qui marque si profondément la tradition républicaine française, est subvertie. Il ne s'agit plus, selon eux, de protéger l'État contre les religions mais, à l'inverse de protéger les religions contre l'État.Formalisée en 1790, la devise de la République française « Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité » évolua également. Le ternaire s'effaça sous le Consulat et le Premier Empire, dont la devise officielle fut « Liberté, Ordre public ». Le maréchal de Mac‑Mahon, en 1879, instaura brièvement l'« Ordre moral ». En 1940, Philippe Pétain lui substitua la devise « Travail, Famille, Patrie ». Si 83 % des Français, en 2023 se déclarèrent attachés à la devise, 54 % d'entre eux donnaient la priorité à la Liberté, devant l'Égalité (29 %) et la Fraternité (17 %). Mais nombre d'entre eux jugèrent sa mise en œuvre défaillante : la Liberté n'existerait pleinement que pour 54 % d'entre eux, la Fraternité pour 35 % et l'Égalité pour 31 %.Tandis que, depuis le 16 juin, le projet de loi constitutionnelle pour une Corse autonome est examiné à l'Assemblée, le juriste Benjamin Morel et le politologue Patrick Weil demandent à ce qu'il soit retiré au nom des valeurs historiques de la France. Ce projet de loi propose de reconnaître des droits particuliers en raison d'une « communauté historique, linguistique, culturelle, ayant développé un lien singulier à sa terre ». Il crée ainsi, font valoir le juriste et le politologue une hiérarchie entre Français : ceux qui se rattacheront à une communauté corse reconnue, privilégiée, et les autres. Ce serait en rupture radicale et fondamentale avec « les grands principes universalistes qui fondent la République, tout particulièrement le principe d'égalité de tous les citoyens devant la loi sans distinction d'origine, de race ou de religion énoncé à l'article Ier de la Constitution ». Hiérarchiser les citoyens au regard d'une appartenance culturelle et y attacher des droits différenciés, c'est la définition juridique du racisme, font-ils valoir. La République encore et toujours à l'épreuve de l'histoire.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

À l'archéologie, discipline populaire, sont souvent associés les termes de “passion”, de “fascination”, d'“énigme” ou d'“exotisme”. Mais ce témoignage vise surtout à illustrer ce que cette discipline dit de nous, de notre société contemporaine et des défis que nous devons relever dans les domaines environnementaux, économiques, technologiques, sociaux et politiques.Pour contribuer à analyser le présent et tenter d'appréhender l'avenir, je vais donc retourner sur mes pas, fréquenter différents terrains de fouille et rouvrir des dossiers scientifiques : pointer les “jours j” et les moments déterminants, et ainsi faire face au passé pour tenter de lire dans d'anciennes traces une histoire en devenir. Du littoral méditerranéen aux sources de la Seine, cette itinérance nous entraînera dans des grottes occupées par les premiers humains, au-dessus d'une épave antique, auprès d'un prince celte, dans les rues d'une ville gauloise et même dans les sous-sol de Notre-Dame de Paris, explorés à la suite du tragique incendie.
