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

True Crime Tuesday Presents They Shall Not See The Dawn: The Manhunt for the Third Reich's Most Wanted with Historian/Author Charles Lachman! 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 is the true historical thriller by bestselling historian Charles Lachman that follows a unit of American agents, drawn from every walk of life, hunting Hitler's dangerous henchmen still at large. 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 were college students, linguists, an actor, young draftees, and refugees armed with guns, intellect, intuition, and sheer daring. Their quarry included Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the Gestapo chief; Julius Streicher, Hitler's “Jewbaiter”; Robert Ley, master of slave labor; and other war criminals desperate to escape justice. Against all odds, the CIC brought them down, ensuring their places in the dock at Nuremberg.Upon the eightieth anniversary of the Nuremberg hangings, They Shall Not See the Dawn resurrects America's “G-men in khakis,” the men who ensured that the architects of Nazi horror would never walk free.On today's TCT, Charles Lachman joins us to tell us who the Werewolves were and set the scene for the end of the European theater of WWII. And pick up immediately with the days shortly before Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun hunker down for good in the bunker. We also talk about the CIC and their efforts to hunt down Nazis in those precious few weeks after Hitler has expired, and the urgency felt to round up as many of Hitler's cabinet as possible before they can escape the country or have the opportunity to take the same way out that Hitler, Goebbels, and others already had!

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.

Aos oitenta e dois anos, doente e exilado em Londres, com a Gestapo às costas e quatro irmãs deixadas em Viena, Freud escolheu terminar a obra escrevendo sobre um legislador de três mil anos. Neste episódio, Juvenil Alves pergunta por que — e chega a uma Bíblia da infância que o pai devolveu ao filho ateu, reencadernada em couro, com um pedido dentro.

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. Adesso, il loro obiettivo è approfittare del legame passato con Joseph Goebbels per mettere le mani su quei quadri e scambiarli con la salvezza. La loro è una drammatica corsa contro il tempo, un viaggio nell'orrore di un fronte sconvolto non solo da bombardamenti e saccheggi, ma anche da suicidi di massa, colonne di profughi e di deportati, campi di concentramento abbandonati, distruzione e macerie. 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. Tra Konrad e Alois le tensioni si accumulano, fi no alla resa dei conti nella capitale assediata e all'incontro con il gerarca nazista, proprio nell'ultimo caposaldo del potere: il bunker di Hitler…Andrea FredianiÈ nato a Roma nel 1963.

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.

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.

A Taça Jules Rimet não era apenas um troféu de ouro; ela representava o ápice do orgulho esportivo global e o sonho de cooperação internacional por meio do futebol. Concebida em 1928 pelo presidente da FIFA, Jules Rimet, e esculpida por Abel Lafleur, a estatueta de ouro maciço e pedras semipreciosas enfrentou uma trajetória incomum, marcada por episódios de perseguição policial e geopolítica. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o troféu foi ocultado da Gestapo pelo dirigente italiano Ottorino Barassi dentro de uma caixa de sapatos sob sua própria cama. Décadas mais tarde, em 1966, foi furtada em Londres e recuperada de forma impressionante pelo cão Pickles em um jardim residencial. Contudo, após o Brasil conquistar a posse definitiva com o tricampeonato em 1970, o pior cenário se concretizou em solo carioca. Em dezembro de 1983, criminosos invadiram a sede da CBF no Rio de Janeiro e subtraíram a relíquia através de uma vulnerabilidade na estrutura traseira da vitrine. As investigações policiais indicaram que o troféu foi derretido em uma fundição clandestina, extinguindo o símbolo físico da maior conquista do futebol nacional. Neste vídeo, a Brasil Paralelo detalha os bastidores históricos, as falhas de segurança e o destino obscuro dos envolvidos em um dos crimes mais marcantes do esporte mundial.
À l'heure des fake news, il faut lire Marc Bloch et ses Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la Grande guerre ou encore L'Étrange défaite, témoignage écrit dans l'été 40 où s'exerce son art de la critique historique en partant du temps présent pour mieux appréhender le passé, avec humanité. Pionnier de l'Histoire moderne, témoin de son propre temps, Marc Bloch est un ancien combattant de la Première Guerre mondiale, engagé volontaire en 1940 à l'âge de 53 ans. L'historien combattant entre dans la résistance active dès 1943 au sein du mouvement Franc-Tireur dans la région Rhône-Alpes. Finalement arrêté et torturé par la Gestapo sur dénonciation, Marc Bloch est fusillé à Saint-Didier-de-Formans, le 16 juin 1944, par les nazis. Père et mari aimant, époux de Simonne, Marc Bloch a choisi de sacrifier sa vie pour la Patrie, celle que sa famille juive alsacienne a choisie en 1870 : la France. Pour son entrée au Panthéon avec son épouse Simonne Vidal, nous écoutons les mots de Marc Bloch dans la voix de la comédienne Anne Alvaro - enregistrée aux Rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois 2025- avec nos invités Matis Bloch, son arrière-petit-fils et l'historienne Annette Becker, ainsi que les lauréats du Concours lycéen Franco-Allemand Marc Bloch organisé par le Centre Marc Bloch de Berlin dans un reportage de Pascal Thibault, notre correspondant en Allemagne. Avec tous nos remerciements aux Rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois pour la performance Marc Bloch l'Homme, l'Historien et tout particulièrement à la comédienne Anne Alvaro. ► Les livres de Marc Bloch cités dans l'émission : Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la guerre, aux éditions Dunod « Les fausses nouvelles, dans toute la multiplicité de leurs formes – simples racontars, impostures, légendes – ont rempli la vie de l'humanité. Comment naissent-elles ? De quels éléments tirent-elles leur substance ? Comment se propagent-elles, gagnant en ampleur à mesure qu'elles passent de bouche en bouche ou d'écrit en écrit ? Nulle question plus que celles-là ne mérite de passionner quiconque aime à réfléchir sur l'histoire. » Marc Bloch a été un combattant de la Grande Guerre. Mais, au milieu des combats, il n'a jamais oublié de s'interroger sur la source des informations qui parcouraient les tranchées : d'où venaient-elles et pourquoi de fausses nouvelles avaient-elles tant de succès ? En 1921, il interpelle ses contemporains avec un article court et éclairant dont la réflexion est toujours d'actualité. Les rois thaumaturges, aux éditions Gallimard De 1944, date de sa mort héroïque, au début des années 1970, Marc Bloch est surtout apparu comme le cofondateur (avec Lucien Febvre) de la revue Annales, qui renouvela la méthode historique, et l'auteur d'une grande synthèse, La Société féodale (1939-1940). Depuis une dizaine d'années, les historiens et les chercheurs en Sciences humaines et sociales pensent de plus en plus que le grand livre de Marc Bloch, c'est son premier vrai livre : Les rois thaumaturges (1924). Il est consacré à l'étude d'un rite curieux : la guérison miraculeuse, par simple toucher des mains, des écrouelles ou scrofules (adénite tuberculeuse). L'attribution de ce pouvoir aux rois de France et d'Angleterre remonte probablement au XIIè siècle ; elle va durer en Angleterre jusqu'au début du XVIIIè siècle, en France jusqu'en 1825, date du sacre de Charles X. Comment se déroulait le rituel du toucher royal ? Quelle était la vraie nature du pouvoir monarchique : les rois étaient-ils des personnages sacrés, des sorciers faiseurs de miracles ? Pourquoi, enfin, a-t-on cru puis cessé de croire au miracle royal ? Trois questions qui ont amené Marc Bloch à explorer les chemins de la psychologie collective, des rites et des mythes, des croyances populaires. Pour éclairer le phénomène, il a eu recours à l'anthropologie et à son plus grand théoricien d'alors, Frazer, au comparatisme avec les sociétés les plus diverses, aux arcanes de la médecine populaire traditionnelle. C'est un jalon essentiel dans l'exploration des mentalités et l'invention d'une anthropologie historique. Dans son importante préface, Jacques Le Goff s'efforce de préciser les raisons personnelles et les milieux intellectuels qui ont conduit Marc Bloch à écrire ce livre exceptionnel, gros d'avenir, puis à abandonner cette voie, et fait le point sur la situation des Rois thaumaturges dans la recherche historique et anthropologique aujourd'hui, dont ce livre est l'un des phares. L'étrange défaite, aux éditions Gallimard « Témoignage », était-il écrit sur la première page du manuscrit rédigé d'une traite à l'été 1940, puis dissimulé en attente de jours meilleurs, et finalement publié en 1946 aux Éditions Franc-Tireur, émanation du groupe résistant dans lequel Marc Bloch s'est engagé jusqu'à son arrestation au printemps 1944. Le « plus vieux capitaine de l'armée française », comme il aimait se décrire, combattant de 1914 devenu engagé volontaire en 1939, y propose autant un examen de conscience qu'une analyse sans concession de la France battue en quelques semaines. Pour réaliser cette histoire immédiate, il met à profit ses compétences d'historien des sociétés et des mentalités du Moyen-Âge, tout en se tournant vers l'avenir : « Un jour viendra, tôt ou tard, j'en ai la ferme espérance, où la France verra de nouveau s'épanouir, sur son vieux sol béni déjà de tant de moissons, la liberté de pensée et de jugement. Alors les dossiers cachés s'ouvriront ; les brumes […] se lèveront peu à peu ; et peut-être les chercheurs occupés à les percer trouveront-ils quelque profit à feuilleter, s'ils le savent découvrir, ce procès-verbal de l'an 1940. » Écrits de guerre, aux éditions Armand Colin L'ouvrage ne se présente pas sous la forme classique d'un récit continu divisé en chapitres sur un sujet précis. Son unité est constituée par le personnage central Marc Bloch autour duquel gravitent des questions variées, toutes ayant un lien plus ou moins direct avec la guerre et l'expérience de la guerre. C'est un travail élaboré à partir d'un dossier constitué par Marc Bloch intitulé Souvenirs de guerre, composé de documents de natures diverses, coupures de presse, lettres manuscrites, écrits personnels, cartes postales d'origine variée, etc. présentés au lecteur. La reproduction des carnets de guerre de Marc Bloch complète ce recueil de documents ainsi que deux textes, l'un le récit des premiers mois de la Grande Guerre vécus par Marc Bloch, déjà publié sous la forme du Cahier des Annales, n° 26, 1969 sous le titre Souvenirs de guerre 1914-1915, l'article célèbre de la Revue de synthèse historique, Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la guerre. Une longue introduction de Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau situe Marc Bloch dans la guerre et propose une réflexion sur la manière dont celle-ci a influencé sa pensée et son œuvre. ► Pour l'entrée au Panthéon de Marc Bloch, découvrez l'exposition Marc Bloch, l'esprit de l'Histoire. .

Den 4. juli 1944 eksploderede 180 tons ammunition på en pram i Aarhus havn. Med 40 dræbte er det den største katastrofe i byens historie. Eksplosionen er en af flere dramatiske historier fra besættelsestidens Aarhus, som bliver fortalt i bogen ”Besat og Befriet – Aarhus 1940-1945”. Den tyske besættelse kom i høj grad til at præge livet i Jyllands hovedstad. For på grund af byens store havn og jernbanen var Aarhus i perioder fyldt til randen med tyske soldater, der var i transit til og fra Norge, hvilket gav anledning til store konflikter. Den aarhusianske modstandsbevægelse var tidligt aktiv og voksede sig med tiden bemærkelsesværdig stor, men oplevede også betydelige tab og blev optrevlet af en meget effektiv lokal Gestapo-afdeling, som i øvrigt fik god hjælp af den lokale storstikker Grethe Bartram. Gestapos hovedkvarter på Aarhus Universitet blev dog siden ødelagt ved et spektakulært luftangreb udført af Royal Air Force. Aarhusianerne blev også ramt af Peter-gruppens terroraktioner, der blandt andet bombesprængte en af byens forretningsgader og ødelagde alle byens sporvogne. I programmet medvirker historiker og museumsinspektør ved Besættelsesmuseet i Aarhus Søren Tange Rasmussen, som er forfatter til bogen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Être archéologue, c'est étudier les diverses traces laissées par d'anciennes communautés humaines afin de mieux comprendre leur histoire et leur organisation, leur environnement et leur mode de vie. 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.

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Elisabeth Storrs, author of Fables and Lies, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lCJfOypSQr4The genesis of Fables and Lies: how a 30-year obsession with Priam's Gold and its mysterious disappearance after the Russians took it from Berlin led Elisabeth to create Freya, a young German woman working at the Museum of Pre- and Early History in Berlin as the war closes in.Himmler's SS Ahnenerbe, the pseudo-academic research institute that weaponized archaeology to justify Nazi ideology, and how the curator of Freya's museum being a member of it transformed what began as a novel about two women into something far more complex and sinister.The real inspiration behind Indiana Jones: Himmler's belief in the occult, Atlantis, and the Holy Grail, and the expeditions he sent to Tibet and Bolivia that Spielberg later drew on.Writing from inside the Nazi regime: Elisabeth's personal hesitation about telling the story from a German point of view given her father's experience as an Australian soldier in World War II, and why she decided the story needed to be told anyway.The Brenner family as microcosm: how Freya, her morally anchored father Konrad, her MAGA-adjacent mother Elsa, and her fully indoctrinated sister Volla each represent a different response to life under the Reich.Why Freya had to start as a true believer: the challenge of creating a protagonist who is indoctrinated, the small cracks in her worldview from the opening pages, and how Darien, the Cambridge-educated outsider archaeologist, opens her eyes.Berlin as a character in the novel: Elisabeth's research trip to the city, the walking tour with a Humboldt University history student, and the discovery that the Museum of Pre- and Early History sat next door to Gestapo headquarters on what is now the Topography of Terror site.The parallels to today: how Elisabeth finished the novel before the current global rise of fascism made it feel even more relevant, and what the preconditions for Hitler's rise in Weimar Germany have in common with what we are seeing now.The carpet bombing of Berlin, the Soviet artillery siege, and the absurdity of dropping leaflets telling civilians to overthrow the regime while destroying their city around them.A reading from the opening pages of Fables and Lies: Freya cycling home through Berlin on 24 August 1939, and her first encounter with Dieter, the jazz-loving teenager whose punishment plants the first seed of doubt.What Elisabeth is working on next: a four-timeline novel tracing Priam's Gold from a Bronze Age goldsmith in Troy through Schliemann's 1873 discovery, the Russian Trophy Brigade, and Freya's granddaughter piecing it all together in the 1990s.Read more about Elisabeth Storrs on her website: https://elisabethstorrs.com/Are you enjoying The Art In Fiction Podcast?

Une exceptionnelle histoire de droites révolutionnaire dans le monde, de la Révolution française au nazismeS'exprimant dans les années 1930, Raymond Aron constate un tournant au cœur de l'histoire européenne : « Une révolution se définit comme une libération.Or, les révolutions du XXe siècle semblent, sinon des révolutions d'asservissement, du moins des révolutions d'autorité. »Les nouvelles révolutions de droite, fascisme et nazisme en tête, se veulent en effet une revanche sur le siècle des Lumières, la Révolution française et la démocratie libérale.Si elles partagent avec les révolutions de gauche le projet de création d'un « homme nouveau » et l'inauguration d'une « ère nouvelle », elles se singularisent par de nombreux traits : croyance dans les mythes qu'elles forgent pourtant de toutes pièces, perception de l'histoire comme une conspiration à conjurer, primauté du biologique sur le social, idéal d'un corps national-racial organique, culte de la puissance, élévation d'un Guide en source et horizon de toute légitimité.C'est ce que démontre Hamit Bozarslan dans cet essai novateur retraçant une histoire dont les échos avec le monde contemporain sont troublants.Car si nous ne sommes pas dans les années 1920-1930 surdéterminées par les conséquences d'une guerre mondiale, force est de constater qu'en Europe comme au-delà du Vieux Continent, le monde fait à l'évidence face à une crise des aspirations égalitaires et libérales de la démocratie.L'Auteur, Hamit Bozarslan est notre invité en studioHébergé par Audiomeans.

Dear Paul Krugman,You used to be the kind of journalist I thought was telling the truth. I looked up to you, as I did so many writers at the New York Times. I was a different person then. That was before everything changed. The year was 2020, a summer of riots and a breakthrough moment when many of us realized for the first time that the Gray Lady was not telling us the truth.I have been on the internet for 30 years. I watched the collapse of traditional media and the rise of opinion-based journalism, the kind you do, Paul. Do you mind if I call you Paul? Mr. Krugman sounds so formal, and really, I'd like for you to see me as a human being, someone worthy of your attention and respect.Now that I have confirmation of what I've assumed all along, that people like you, Kara Swisher, Peter Baker, and Susan Glasser would like people like me thrown into re-education camps or gulags, I feel it's worth the extra effort to get you to see real people again.To the horror of many, you went viral last week for your comments on what all of you will do with Trump supporters and the system that elected him. It was ugly, Paul. As ugly as anything I've seen written by a high-minded journalist and certainly closer to what the Nazis believed about the Jews than anything I've seen in my lifetime:“Purging of the United States, we need a de-MAGAfication. I'm not going over the top by using a word that's very similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War Two in Germany. It's not just the MAGA ideology, but the whole structure of hugely unequal power, hugely unequal wealth that made this horrific moment possible. It's not going to be easy, but, and maybe it's not going to be doable, but we have to try, because this is an absolute, this is a nightmare, this is the nightmare beyond, I think, even the worst fantasies of progressives, beyond the worst fantasies of conservatives, who still have a conscience, there still are plenty of those, but they're no longer MAGA. This has to be turned around, and we should not, above all, whitewash or forget this moment. This is where a lot of forces in America have been leading, and if we don't do something beyond just getting rid of Trump, it's going to happen again.”It can't have been easy, watching Trump win a second time and this time the popular vote, or to admit you are no longer relevant and that the only value you have is in giving the base of the Democratic Party their daily dose of hate and fear. Why didn't Americans listen to your constant bleating about the end of the world? That's an important question to ask, Paul.After all, they're your most popular videos.Your Substack, with over 500K subscribers, is no less alarmist:It looks like your Substack is paying you more than you made at the Times, that's for sure. So why not keep pumping it out, day after day, like a broken record — fear, hysteria, hatred, more fear, more hatred. What could possibly go wrong? You all seem certain you're about to take back power and put things back where they belong. The only question you seem to have on your lips is not how we can better address the needs of the people, but what you will do with all of those MAGAts.You don't even pretend there is a whole country or even half of a country that voted all of you out, not once but twice. You have no shame in admitting you see yourselves as better than the working-class half of America. You fully admit it. You bask in it. You know your power, Paul, and that's maybe the only true thing you know about yourself.So let me set you straight on a few things. You are not the Allied Forces after World War II, and Trump is not now, nor has he ever been, Hitler. The closest thing to Fascism this country has ever seen is with all of you in power. It became “all sticks of wood bound together as one,” a “fasci,” with all elements of our society mandating conformity or else. Your side ruled through fear and violence, and still does. You violently beat Trump supporters and feel emboldened to do so, just like Hitler's Brown Shirts. You probably never even knew that in 2015, Trump supporters were beaten and harassed and called Nazis. On the Left, there is no such thing as free thought and speech, which is why cancel culture collapsed the empire and why Tyler Robinson had to silence Charlie Kirk. So who are the real fascists, Paul? On your side, thought and speech are heavily policed throughout our culture. Everyone is tracked, monitored, and under constant surveillance lest they like the wrong tweet, follow the wrong person on social media, or read the wrong news outlet. Just because people like you cosplay that ICE is the Gestapo doesn't make it so. It took 80 years for the world to forget about the Holocaust. But no one should ever forget what that looked like, and it wasn't mass deportations or even detaining a five-year-old or shooting Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Shame on you. Shame on all of you for even suggesting that what we've just lived through is on any level the same as what happened during World War II. 70-80 million people were killed. 600,000 in America alone. Even the war in Gaza can't compare, and shame on anyone who suggests it's the same. None of this should have to be said to a man who enjoys high status inside utopia, a well-educated elite who lives on the Upper West Side and enjoys a decent retirement while he's discarding half of America like human garbage. You tell me who the real Nazis are.You don't have to tell me. I already know. I escaped the suffocating dystopia that you live in. I escaped the world that no longer knows the meaning of important words like fascist, Nazi, dictator, king, and pedophile, never mind man or woman. I escaped that world because the truth always mattered to me more than being liked, making money, or having status.I can't say the same for you, Paul, or any one of your former colleagues at the Times. We're watching the destruction of legacy media in real time, just one of the pillars of your now collapsing empire. Trump won because ordinary Americans can't stand living under the oppressive thumb of the high and mighty, like yourself.I didn't see what kind of power we all had until 2020. We had built a Shining Woketopia on the Internet that gave us complete control of all institutions of power - educational, cultural, corporations, and institutions. We thought we could shape the America we dreamed of. The problem was that there was a whole other America outside our bubble, and it took Donald Trump to ignite a populist revolt. The idea that this was about racism and bigotry was a lie. It was never Hitler invading. You were never the resistance. You've been living in a dream world of your own making. You destroyed yourselves trying to destroy Trump. The real story of the last ten years will never be told by any of you, much less seen or understood.I still see signs of the MAGA I know. I just saw one near the memorial site for the deadly battle of Antietam. From the middle of America, on the side of a store just living out their ordinary days near the ghosts of profound history, this:I am no longer welcome in your world, Paul. Some days, that hurts more than others. But when I see what you have become, calling for a “purge” and “de-MAGAfication, I know you don't know this country anymore. You've been isolated for too long, and you've been participating in a decade-long deception.I also know I have the truth on my side, and that makes me the lucky one.// This is a public episode.

Paris, 1945. Alors que la guerre vient tout juste de se terminer, un cadavre est découvert dans un hôtel borgne de Pigalle. L'assassin, arrêté sur les lieux, est un vagabond, dont la dernière adresse était le camp d'Auschwitz.L'homme qu'il a tué d'une balle dans la tête était un antiquaire véreux, un petit escroc sans envergure qui aurait été membre de « la Carlingue », la Gestapo française. C'est en tout cas ce que son assassin affirme. Mais rien ne le prouve, si ce n'est sa parole…L'affaire est confiée à Max Weber, un flic désabusé que sa hiérarchie pousse à classer l'affaire. Personne n'a envie que ce fait-divers ravive les blessures de la guerre. Personne sauf Weber, que cette cause perdue sort de sa torpeur. Il va creuser. Et ce qu'il va découvrir est au-delà de l'imaginable…L'Auteur, Gabriel Katz est notre invité par téléphoneHébergé par Audiomeans.

Doug and Justin dig into one of Reddit's greatest questions: what's the stupidest thing you've ever heard someone say that still lives rent free in your head? The answers (from the internet and from their own lives) do not disappoint. Stories include: the college roommate who saw cubed chicken and asked if it was pancakes, the hotel coworker who was convinced a rocket launch in Florida made it hotter outside, the customer service caller who had never heard of a browser and genuinely believed she didn't use one, the hotel guest who compared being asked for ID to being interrogated by the Gestapo, the anatomy student who used Coca-Cola as contraception, the woman who signed her name differently every time so no one could forge it, the person who applied for a job and chose the word "ominous" to describe herself, and the woman who planned to bring her TV from home when she moved to Italy so she could still watch her shows. Plus a collection of "Bobisms," hard-earned one-liners from a former baseball ump and retail manager that absolutely hold up, and Doug's dad's legendary if somewhat exhausting burn about brains and trains. Then Doug takes Natalie to an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and hot pot restaurant for the first time and comes away a changed man. Justin butchers a 125-pound half hog with his two best friends as a birthday surprise and walks away with 40+ pounds of pork and zero regrets. And the movie audio clip guessing game returns with quotes from Kung Fu Panda, Heat, and Minority Report. This week's recommendations: Justin: Marty: Life is Short on Netflix. Martin Short operates at the speed of joy. Watch it. Doug: Potion Seller's debut album Buzzard is out now. Ten songs, zero filler. Grab it on Bandcamp for $7. Also, Parade of Horribles (Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8) by Matt Dinniman. Jeff Hayes narrates the audiobook. The series is incredible.
