She and her family spent 2 years in seclusion in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne's diary describes the horrors of hiding from the Nazis - before eventually being sent to concentration camps. The Wannsee Conference was a clandestine meeting of Nazi leaders in 1942 to outline the systematic murder of Jews in Europe which became known as the Holocaust.

Dans Musée Duras, Julien Gosselin retraverse l'œuvre protéiforme de Marguerite Duras à travers onze propositions scéniques. Aux côtés de seize interprètes issus de la promotion sortante du Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique, le directeur de l'Odéon nous fait découvrir l'œuvre complète de Marguerite Duras sur une journée, avec les élèves de la promotion 2025 du Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique de Paris. Un spectacle fleuve de dix heures assez hypnotique avec un rythme : celui des mots, celui de la musique, de la techno et des lumières stroboscopiques. Il y a aussi des scènes filmées en vidéo et projetées sur les écrans autour de la scène ; pour chaque texte, le dispositif change. On peut s'immerger dans l'homme Atlantique, la douleur, Hiroshima mon amour ou La Musica deuxième. Ce qui m'intéresse quand je monte un texte, ce n'est pas de rendre hommage à un auteur ou à une autrice, c'est de faire un théâtre d'aujourd'hui : c'est faire un théâtre vivant. Julien Gosselin Julien Gosselin explore aussi les thèmes de l'amour fou, «aimer à en mourir» un thème très durassien: «Je crois qu'une des choses fondamentales pour le théâtre, c'est qu'au fond, le théâtre n'est pas là pour montrer des sentiments raisonnables. On ne vient pas au théâtre pour voir des choses qui ressemblent de manière identique et molle à la vie. On vient voir des zones d'extrémité dont on pourrait dire qu'elles sont presque interdites». Marguerite Duras, née Marguerite Donnadieu le 4 avril 1914, près de Saigon (Vietnam), est une autrice, dramaturge, scénariste et réalisatrice française. Elle passe son enfance en Indochine française, une expérience qui marquera son œuvre. Après des études de droit, elle s'engage dans la Résistance pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et adopte le nom «Duras». Son mari, Robert Antelme, sera arrêté par la Gestapo et conduit vers les camps de Dachau et Buchenwald d'où il ressortira vivant. Elle s'inspirera de ces années pour écrire La douleur. L'œuvre de Marguerite Duras aborde les questions de la passion, de désir, de la solitude. Elle obtient le prix Goncourt en 1984 pour l'Amant. En 1959, elle écrit le scénario du film Hiroshima, mon amour, qui sera réalisé par Alain Resnais. Elle est également l'autrice de romans tels que Un barrage contre le Pacifique, Moderato cantabile, son style épuré a considérablement renouvelé la littérature française. Elle milita aussi activement contre la guerre en Algérie et s'engage pour les droits des femmes en signant le manifeste des 343, réclamant l'abrogation de la loi de 1920 interdisant l'avortement et toute contraception. Elle décède à Paris en 1996. Invité : Julien Gosselin, metteur en scène français né en 1987. En 2009, il fonde le collectif Si vous pouviez lécher mon cœur avec six comédiens de sa promotion. Il se fait connaître avec l'adaptation du roman de Michel Houellebecq Les particules élémentaires présentée au Festival d'Avignon en 2013. En juin 2025, il est nommé directeur du Théâtre National de l'Odéon pour une durée de cinq ans. Musée Duras à voir à l'espace Berthier jusqu'au 30 novembre 2025. Programmation musicale : L'artiste montréalaise Laura Lefevre avec le titre Un séjour.
Yvonne Beauvais, religieuse et résistante décorée par de Gaulle, transforma le couvent de Malestroit en clinique et y cacha juifs, résistants et parachutistes. Torturée par la Gestapo, elle fut honorée à la Libération. Mystique entourée de récits déroutants, elle suscita autant la méfiance que l'admiration ; Rome clôtura son dossier de canonisation pour « trop de miracles ». L'écrivain Jean de Saint-Cheron, auteur du livre "Malestroit" (Fayard) retrace avec finesse le destin unique de mère Yvonne-Aimée de Malestroit. Jean de Saint-Cheron est l'invité de ce soir de L'Eglise d'aujourd'hui. L'Église d'aujourd'hui est une émission qui invite à découvrir les mille visages des chrétiens d'aujourd'hui. Elle est présentée par Matteo Ghisalberti et proposée par le diocèse de Monaco. Elle est diffusée sur RMC le samedi à minuit, après l'After Foot (20h–minuit).
Esta noche, la parroquia del misterio se viste de rojo sangre y silencio. Hablaremos con Iván Castro Palacios sobre un fenómeno que marcó para siempre la memoria de una nación: la aurora boreal que se vio en España en 1938, en pleno corazón de la Guerra Civil. 🔥 Aquella noche, el cielo se tiñó de rojo sobre los campos y las ciudades. Muchos lo interpretaron como una señal del fin de los tiempos, otros como un presagio del horror que aún estaba por venir. ¿Fenómeno natural o advertencia del destino? 🌠 En el segundo bloque, nos adentraremos con Daniel Ortega en las sombras del terror real: la Gestapo, la policía secreta del Tercer Reich, un símbolo del miedo, el control y la persecución. Y en el tercer bloque, hablamos con Yolanda Martínez sobre las relaciones de pareja. 🕘 No te pierdas esta emisión única — una noche donde historia, guerra y misterio se funden en una sola pregunta: ¿y si el cielo nos habló… y no quisimos escucharlo? ¿Quieres anunciarte en este podcast?

[I meant to get this out before Halloween, but life got in the way — previous Janet stories — Part One | Part Two ]Janet left Two Moons Yoga Studio, where a gaggle of concerned American citizens — the true patriots — held an emergency “No Kings, Cancel Halloween” meeting to save democracy. The attendees were Janet's age. They were her neighbors, but she didn't know most of them. They were all directed to join the NextDoor app to get to know each other better online.Janet used the app frequently. Even though they had a rule about no politics, she would use NextDoor to inform her neighbors if ICE agents had entered the town's perimeter. She would also warn neighbors about the e-bikes speeding through town, endangering animals and pedestrians. She would take pictures of people whose dogs left messes that their owners did not pick up and post them on NextDoor, and she would make sure to let everyone know how many people were responsibly wearing masks at the Farmer's Market.COVID wasn't over, Janet knew. It was still a constant threat, especially to the marginalized, trans people, Black and Brown people, and immigrants. It was her duty to wear a mask at all times, even at the meeting at Two Moons Yoga. Only some people there were wearing masks, but not all. Janet was sure to jot down their names in case she needed to warn people later.The meeting went well. Everyone was on the same page that democracy and their way of life were now under a grave threat. This is not normal, said Barack Obama. Janet agreed. Their action plan was to go door to door and inform their neighbors that Halloween would be canceled due to the government shutdown and the fascist occupation of the country. They had even bigger goals, like canceling Thanksgiving and boycotting Christmas, too. But one step at a time. Halloween was in just a few days, and it was time to send a message to the government that we would not be buying candy or trick-or-treating while Nazis roamed our streets.Everyone had a list of the neighborhood's sections. Janet would go that evening after she watched MSNBC. She didn't want to interrupt her neighbors, who were probably just as glued to their TVs. That was the only way to stay informed now that the country has been overtaken by fascists.Nothing else can be trusted now. The media is terrified of Trump, not even the ladies of The View talk politics anymore. Janet can only watch for five minutes before they move on to shallow interviews and publicity hits. Trump has intimidated everyone, suing networks, disappearing Jimmy Kimmel for a joke, and that has had a chilling effect on free speech. Janet wasn't exactly thrilled about knocking on doors, but she had to do something. She couldn't just stay home and post about HIM on Facebook and NextDoor. Some had suggested giving out bags of groceries to those whose SNAP benefits would run out. Yes, a community effort for the poor and downtrodden. It's just that Vista Butte isn't a town full of poor people. It was expensive to live here. Were there poor people in this town? Then she remembered the maid who comes to clean her house once a month, and everyone has a gardener. Maybe she would approach them with a bag of groceries when she saw them at work. Would it be weird to take a selfie and post it on Instagram to show how important it is to recognize the poor right now?Assuming the maid was poor just because she cleaned houses for a living wasn't racist, was it? Is it offensive to call her a maid? What's the appropriate term? Janet asked ChatGPT. The answer: housekeeper, house cleaner, or domestic worker.” Okay, so domestic workers might be the poor people in Vista Butte, like immigrants. Janet did her best not to offend marginalized people. She didn't know if any such people lived in Vista Butte. The town was, after all, 96% white, affluent, and very liberal. But on the off chance she might encounter one, she wanted them to know she cared about their health, too. That's why she wears a mask outside every day.Janet began walking up her street and could feel the October breeze. This was the best time of year in Vista Butte. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't yet too cold. It was one of those perfect fall days. Every so often, you could smell smoke from a fireplace off in the distance. She didn't want to think about HIM on a day like this. She needed to be living in the moment more. Self-care. Meditation. Daily walks. Breathing exercises.The election was almost one year ago. Janet's hair had finally grown back after she shaved it to protest THE FASCIST in the White House. She thought about keeping it because people were so kind to her when they thought she was battling cancer. She never said she was. They just assumed, and she kind of let them. It felt good to have people be nice to her.Things aren't getting better, Janet knew. They're getting worse. Much worse. He disembowled the East Wing to put up a Nazi building. He defiled the Lincoln bedroom's bathroom and put in a Roman bathhouse. Everything is ugly, tacky gold. He hates America! He had a late-stage Roman Empire ball at Mar-a-Lago, apparently. While millions were about to starve because of the government shutdown. He was having a party for billionaires!Janet tried not to think of it. Instead, she looked around at all of the Vote Yes on Prop 50 signs that were stabbed into the lawns of all of her neighbors. What good people they were. They raised $120 million. Imagine that. Of course, it will pass. We have to save democracy, she thought, by adding more seats in Congress. Janet herself donated around $300. Somewhere in the distance, she could hear buzzing, whirring, what is that sound? She knew before she even saw them that it was those kids on the electric bikes that had been terrorizing the town. E-Bikes. Everyone had complained on Next Door. Even the MAGGAt, who goes by the name RedHat. Even he, or she, or they, no he or she, hated them. They were dangerous. They were loud. It was the only time she and RedHat agreed on anything. He was always the first to chime in on her ICE posts. “Good job, ICE,” he would say. “We need to protect American workers,” and “the media is lying about ICE and scaring people.” But Red Hat was living in a Fox News fantasy world, Janet knew. Their fights got so heated that Janet had to block RedHat and then warn everyone on Next Door not to engage with him. There is no point, she would say. He is too lost and can't be helped. All we can do is block him. But he just made a new account. What will we do with all of these racists who voted for Trump? She thought, We can't live with them. We can't forgive them. Their days are numbered. Already, the Democrats are leading in the polls. It's just a matter of time before we take back the country and save democracy. But what to do with all of those bad people? Janet didn't know. But she hoped someone did. Red Hat was right about the bikes, though. The kids didn't know how to control them. They went too fast down the road. They scared dogs and cats, and they scared Janet. She could hear them off in the distance now. Then, she could see them. There they were, a gang of about six boys speeding right toward her. Janet was still holding her No Kings sign, which she'd brought to the meeting, which said No KKK No FASCIST USA and NO KINGS. She held it up in front of her so the boys could see her clearly in case they weren't paying attention. Could they see her? They had a devilish look on their faces and were speeding right toward her. Were they planning on hitting her? Would they hit a middle-aged woman in a mask carrying a No Kings sign? Yes, Janet knew, they would because they're DUMB KIDS. It was now a game of chicken, and Janet was not playing that game. Just as they got within a few feet of her, she leaped out of the way and stumbled, falling face down onto the concrete. She could hear them screaming with laughter as they sped by. “Chicken!” one of them called out. Janet was furious. She ripped her mask off her face and stood in the middle of the road with her cell phone aimed right at them. “I'm recording you!” She said. The boys screeched to a halt on their bikes and turned around to look at her. They apparently thought this was really funny because they could not stop laughing. “Go ahead, No Kings,” one of them said, and that cracked them all up even more. “I will!” Janet said, “And then I'll call the police! How do you like that?” “We didn't do anything,” another said. A couple of them had their own cell phones out and began recording her. “You tried to kill me!” Janet said. That made the boys burst into yet more uncontrollable giggles as they began mocking her. “Oh, no! She almost died!” ”Death by E-bike!”“You don't even live in this town, do you?” Janet said. “Why don't you go back to where you came from?” “Why don't you?” One of them said. “I live here. Do you?”They didn't answer, but just thought the whole thing was either super funny or a waste of time. And with that, off they went, with their noisy, irritating, dangerous E-Bikes headed for who knows where. Janet searched around for her mask, but the strap was broken. She was too traumatized to bother picking it up. She did take her sign, which was wrinkled and dirty. She looked around to see if any of her neighbors had witnessed the ugly scene. She might need a witness if she called the cops. But why bother? What could they do? She would keep trying to get E-Bikes banned so the neighborhood could be peaceful and orderly again. She was just a block away from her house now. Tears were streaming down her face. Why did those kids have to be so mean? Why are they so aggressive? Boys, that's why. Boys who grow up to be men. Boys who can't be controlled. That's what is wrong with our society, Janet knew. Just look at all of the damage caused by Trump. The Gestapo was disappearing people off the streets and putting them somewhere, ripping children from the arms of their mothers and putting them on trains. Sending grandmothers to concentration camps. All because they're Brown and the racists on the Right want only a WHITE AMERICA.He's sent in the military to occupy our cities. It's not to protect ICE, stop crime, or clean up the streets. It's to implement MARTIAL LAW to put all of us under federal control. It won't be long before we're snatched off to death camps just for making a joke or having a NO KINGS rally. Of course, Fox News will shrug it off. That's how the Holocaust happened. The Good Germans did nothing. Janet finally got home and flopped down on the couch. That was too much activity for someone who never left the house. She closed her eyes to take a quick nap before checking social media. Just as Janet was drifting off, she heard her phone ping. Someone had texted her. She glanced down and saw it was the woman who organized the Cancel Halloween meeting. The message said, “Call me. It's urgent.” Janet's first instinct was not to call her back, to pretend she didn't get the message or that she slept through it. Whatever it was that was urgent, Janet didn't want to know. But she picked up her phone and called anyway.“Kim?”“Hi Janet, thanks for calling. ””Yes, Kim, how are you?” Janet was trying to counter Kim's panic with calm. ”I'm okay, I just—have you looked at Facebook?””No, I just got home. I was about to work out.””You should probably check it now. Did you tell an immigrant and a mixed-race child that they didn't belong in this town and to go back where they came from?”A cold chill ran down Janet's spine. Her palms began to sweat. She could see the scene play out in her mind, the cell phones recording her as she said those exact words. But “go back to where they came from” just meant whatever town they lived in that wasn't Vista Butte.“Well, I didn't say that exactly,” Janet said.”That's what it looks like in that viral video.””There's a viral video? It just happened like 15 minutes ago.””So it did happen,” Kim said.”Well, I mean, they tried to kill me.””You're a white woman, Janet.””And what's that supposed to mean?””One of those kids was mixed race,” Kim said.”They all looked white to me,” Janet said. ”One kid's stepfather is Black, apparently,” Kim said.”Stepfather? So that's not his biological father, Kim. And what is he, like the only Black person in Vista Butte?””Well, I'm just telling you what is happening online right now. You should go look, and I think, given the anger and tension around this, it's best that you do not go door to door or engage with anyone on behalf of our group.”And with that, Kim hung up the phone without even saying goodbye. Janet sat there, stunned. One of those boys was a migrant child? A Brown child? And she told him to go back to where he came from? And a mixed-race child? In a town that's 96% white. Her phone was pinging with Nextdoor notifications. She checked there first. There was a whole thread about her, the so-called “racist” video was now playing on the app. There was Janet screaming at the kids, “Go back to where you came from!” It was filmed from a different perspective, though. It was from someone watching from inside their house. They must have posted the video. Who would do that? She read the comments. “What a terrible person.””That's scary.””It's sad what's happened to her.””I didn't know there were Karens in this town.””Racism is ugly and so is she.””I always knew there was something weird about her. She just seems off.””The kid has a mom who works at the local Wendys and ICE has just taken her. He's worried he's next.””She's MAGA now.””I hate ugly people, don't you?””She lives near me.””I see her walking outside sometimes. Scary.””There is nothing wrong with standing up for your morals and shutting these people out of your life forever.””We should meet later and figure out what to do about her.”Only one person, RedHat, pushed back. “Everything is racist with you people,” he wrote. Great, the MAGA guy. That's how low she sank. She was sick. Her stomach hurt. How could this be happening? Why did she say what she said? They all looked white to her. Were they all white? Now she couldn't even remember their faces. She only saw them laughing.She didn't want to look at Facebook, but she had to know what they were saying about her. There were dozens of posts on her wall calling her the worst names she'd ever heard in her life. There were lengthy posts from people she only knew online explaining why they were walking away and unfriending her. “It's a matter of morality,” they would explain. “Of decency.” “She is toxic,” one said. “She needs help,” said another. “Some people can't be helped,” said her old co-worker from years ago. “Racism is a disease,” said one of the women from the No Kings protest.Racist? Janet was starting to get angry now. She wasn't racist. She did everything she could to not be racist. She was careful never to say the wrong word. She wanted only the best for all of the marginalized groups. She hated white people. She knew they were the colonizers and the oppressors. She thought America was a rotten, corrupt, white supremacist empire that would elect a twice impeached, four times indicted, adjudicated rapist, felon, fascist, dictator! They were the racists, not Janet. Not JANET! Now things were starting to get weird. Should she call Kim back? Should she apologize on Facebook? That's what she did. She apologized. She sat down and wrote, “I am very sorry that I said those words. But I am not a racist. I don't have a racist bone in my body. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.” Then she posted it. Right away, the comments flooded in. “Too late,” one said. “It's always the racists who say they aren't racist,” said another. “You should take responsibility for the harm you caused.”Janet sank into the couch and put her head in her hands. Then she heard a knock on the door. Who could that be? She slowly approached the door and looked through the peephole. It was the women from the meeting. They were standing there, arms crossed.“Open the door, Janet. I know you're in there,” said one of the women. Janet said nothing. They pounded the door again. “You are not welcome at our meetings anymore, and we want you out of our neighborhood.” The other women chimed in, and they began clapping and chanting, “GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! Janet clutched her chest and fell to the floor. What is happening? She couldn't breathe…she couldn't breathe, and then, suddenly, she realized she was now on the couch and awake. She'd been dreaming. It was all a bad dream. She was sweating through her shirt. Her heart was pounding. She picked up her phone and looked at the screen. No notifications. She checked her history, no call from Kim. She looked on NextDoor, and there were no posts about her. She checked Facebook, same thing. And that was when she looked up to Heaven and thanked God. She had never done that before—not ever—but it seemed appropriate now. Thank you, God, she said. She knew there was a reason she'd had that dream. She knew it was a wake-up call to be a better person. Did that mean she should maybe try to make friends with RedHat? Would that be enough to redeem her? No, she knew. That dream was a warning. She had to be very careful from now on. And she would be. She would not break any rules. She would not even try to get the E-Bikes banned. She would be quiet and go along to get along. She picked up the phone and called Kim. “Hello?””Hi Kim, it's Janet. I was just wondering what time we would all be knocking on doors tonight.””Oh, hi, Janet. That would be around 7:30. We can meet down at Kate's Koffee at 7.””Sounds great!” Janet said. “See you then!”She turned on MSNBC, and there was Rachel Maddow looking worried, as usual. What now? Islamophobic attacks on Zohran Mamdani. A woman being manhandled by ICE agents. There were real problems to worry about, Janet realized, much bigger than whether some awful little brats had a damaging video of her. And yet, just as she felt herself relax, she heard her phone ping. She looked at it and said aloud, “Oh no.” TIP JAR// This is a public episode.

insta : laboite2chocolat ou la_boitedechocolatPour ce 8eme épisode de cette saison on s'attaque pour la première fois à un film de Quentin Tarantino, et pas n'importe lequel, car on se fait Inglourious Basterds, à savoir l'un de ses meilleurs si ce n'est LE meilleur film de sa carrière, et c'est pas peu dire !Alors ça raconte quoi ?Et bien c'est simple, on se retrouve dans une France occupée par les Allemands, ambiance baguette et Gestapo. Arrive un groupe d'Américains mené par Brad Pitt, alias Aldo “l'Apache” et non "Aldo l'italiano", un mec qui parle comme s'il mâchait du gravier depuis la naissance et qui a une passion pour le moins originale : scalper des nazis. Leur but ? Foutre la misère aux nazis. Et spoiler : ils le font bien, très bien même.Pendant ce temps, y'a Shosanna (c'est Mélanie Laurent et son melon d'une autre planète qui l'interprète) qui est une juive qui a survécu à un massacre, qui tient maintenant un petit cinéma à Paris. Et devine quoi ? Elle va littéralement cramer le Troisième Reich avec son pote Marcel à coups de pellicule inflammable et de mauvais acting.Et au milieu de tout ça, y'a Hans Landa, joué par l'incroyable Christoph Waltz, le nazi le plus poli et le plus flippant de l'histoire du cinéma. Le gars peut te demander du lait tout en pratiquant un véritable génocide en même temps. En plus de ça il parle cinq langues, il sourit trop, il pue la perversion intellectuelle, et il adore jouer avec ses proies. Bref, un mec que t'invites pas à ton dîner de famille.Le climax ?Tout le gratin nazi — Hitler, Goebbels, et tous les mecs à moustache douteuse — se retrouvent dans le cinéma de Shosanna pour une projection.Sauf que, surprise : les Basterds ont aussi décidé de faire sauter la salle. Et Tarantino, dans un élan de pure jouissance cinéphile, fait ce que tous les manuels d'histoire n'ont jamais osé : réécrire l'histoire à coup de tronçonneuse.C'est gore, c'est absurde, c'est jouissif, c'est drôle mais surtout c'est incroyablement bien écritEt justement pour en parler de ce chef d'oeuvre que Mélanie Laurent vient - hélas - un peu gâcher, on retrouve Thomas, Charlie, Jennifer et Mia.N'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à nous LAISSER DES COMMENTAIRES ET AUSSI DES BONNES ETOILES (déjà parce qu'on est des gens cool), et puis aussi suggérez nous des films, on les fera avec plaisir.VOUS ETES DE PLUS EN PLUS NOMBREUX, SOYEZ DE MOINS EN MOINS TIMIDE voici notre mail pour toutes suggestions / propositions de films : laboitedechocolatmail@gmail.com Hébergé par Acast.

Den tyske generalen Friedrich Hossbach är känd för tre saker: 1. Han bröt mot Hitlers order och överlevde. 2. Det var hans anteckningar från ett möte med naziledningen 1937 som användes som bevis i Nürnberg-rättegångarna. 3. Han hamnade i eldstrid med Gestapo i krigets slutskede. Niclas Sennerteg berättar hela historien om general Hossbach.

In the shadows of war-torn Paris, a charming young doctor lived a double life. Physician by day, and resistance fighter by night, his underground network promised salvation to those desperate to escape the Nazi grip. But in a time where trust was at a premium, the truth was not necessarily as it seemed. When Dr. Marcel Petiot's home at 21 Rue Le Sueur became a concern to his neighbours as a sickly smelling smoke rose from his furnace, the illusion began to unravel. A resistance fighter, a Gestapo set up, or the scene of countless heinous crimes, the truth was as complicated to the police as it was for those who knew the doctor's friendly smile, and kind bedside manner.

"Mon fils croyait que toutes les mamans avaient un numéro tatoué sur le bras. Je ne lui ai rien raconté pendant 40 ans." Ginette Kolinka a 100 ans et c'est une des dernières survivantes des camps de la mort... À 19 ans, elle a été arrêtée par la Gestapo puis internée dans le camp d'Auschwitz-Birkenau. Pour que l'Histoire ne se répète pas, elle témoigne depuis des années, en particulier auprès de collégiens et de lycéens, après avoir gardé le silence pendant 45 ans. Dans cet épisode, elle nous livre un témoignage bouleversant sur son expérience dans les camps et sur la façon dont elle a réussi à survivre, puis à revivre. Un récit de vie, de résilience et d'espérance qui nous pousse à croire à la lumière, même dans une époque parfois sombre et douloureuse.
Nous sommes le 2 avril 1926, entre onze heures et midi, à Paris. C'est au 10 rue d'Anjou, dans le 8e arrondissement, que Jean Cocteau a donné rendez-vous au jeune Jean Desbordes qui, depuis quelques mois, lui écrit des lettres pleines de fièvre. Dix-huit ans plus tard, le jeune homme meurt, torturé par la gestapo. Au cours de sa courte vie, il aura vécu sept ans avec l'auteur des « Enfants terribles », sera devenu un « écrivain maudit » et un héros de la Résistance. Lorsqu'il quittera Cocteau, celui-ci écrira « La Voix humaine », déchirante transposition de leur rupture. La pièce fera scandale. Que reste-t-il de Jean Desbordes ? Lui qui écrivit à propos de Sade qu'il fut « l'inventeur d'une critique qui employait le blasphème, l'anarchie et l'ordure comme moyen de libération. » « Sade, poursuivait-il, saccageait méthodiquement tous les freins, toutes les contraintes, toutes les vertus, ne reconnaissant le droit de vie qu'aux instincts de Dame Nature. De telles rêveries, impraticables, et dont l'influence ne saurait être que funeste au plus grand nombre, n'en sont pas moins le témoignage de l'esprit le plus libre qui ait existé ». Jean Desbordes lui aussi était un esprit libre : peut-être est-ce la raison de son oubli ?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Start with an unsettling premise: if law becomes optional and truth becomes personal, justice becomes impossible. That's the thread we follow with veteran crime investigator Thomas Hampson, who connects the unrest of the 60s–70s to today's culture wars and explains why this moment feels more chaotic—and more consequential. We move from historical context to the present day: immigration laws that exist but go unenforced, ICE agents smeared as “Gestapo,” and school unions celebrating violent revolutionaries. Along the way we draw a crucial line between doing wrong for gain and choosing harm to erase the good, and why that distinction explains so much of the confusion flooding our institutions.Visit Tom Hampson's SubStack The CTU Honors a Cop-KillerHelp Young Men!

Parmi les grandes figures de la Résistance française, Émilienne Moreau tient une place à part. Son destin fut incroyable parce qu'il traversa deux guerres mondiales, chacune la révélant comme une femme d'exception.L'histoire commence en 1915, pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Émilienne a seulement 17 ans. Elle vit à Loos-en-Gohelle, près de Lens, une ville occupée par les troupes allemandes. Lorsque les combats éclatent autour de son quartier, elle décide de transformer la maison familiale en poste de secours improvisé. Elle soigne les blessés, abrite des soldats britanniques et, lorsque les Allemands tentent d'entrer, elle n'hésite pas à prendre les armes. À coups de grenades et de fusil, la jeune fille repousse plusieurs assauts, protégeant ainsi les soldats alliés. Son courage impressionne tant qu'elle est décorée par la France, le Royaume-Uni et même par la Russie. À 17 ans, elle devient l'une des héroïnes les plus célèbres de la guerre.Après 1918, Émilienne épouse un officier, fonde une famille et mène une vie plus discrète. Mais son incroyable destin ne s'arrête pas là. Quand la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate, elle a la quarantaine. Fidèle à son tempérament, elle refuse la soumission. Très vite, elle s'engage dans la Résistance, notamment au sein du mouvement Combat. Elle organise des filières d'évasion, diffuse des tracts clandestins, participe aux réseaux d'information. Arrêtée par la Gestapo, elle échappe de justesse à la déportation, mais continue malgré tout ses activités.Ses actions lui valent d'être à nouveau décorée à la Libération. Devenue figure de proue de la Résistance féminine, elle incarne le courage et la détermination d'une génération qui n'a jamais accepté la tyrannie.Ce qui rend le destin d'Émilienne Moreau si remarquable, c'est sa double carrière héroïque : adolescente téméraire dans les tranchées de 1915, puis résistante aguerrie face aux nazis trente ans plus tard. Peu de figures de l'histoire de France ont ainsi incarné, à deux époques différentes, la même force de caractère et le même engagement.Émilienne Moreau s'éteint en 1971, couverte de décorations, mais son nom reste trop peu connu du grand public. Pourtant, son parcours illustre à la fois le courage individuel, la place des femmes dans les conflits et cette incroyable capacité à se lever deux fois contre l'oppression.En somme, si son destin fut exceptionnel, c'est parce qu'il relie deux guerres mondiales à travers une seule vie, celle d'une femme qui, deux fois, choisit la liberté au prix du danger.

Last time we spoke about the Nanjing Massacre. Japanese forces breached Nanjing as Chinese defenders retreated under heavy bombardment, and the city fell on December 13. In the following weeks, civilians and disarmed soldiers endured systematic slaughter, mass executions, rapes, looting, and arson, with casualties mounting rapidly. Among the most brutal episodes were hundreds of executions near the Safety Zone, mass shootings along the Yangtze River, and killings at improvised sites and “killing fields.” The massacre involved tens of thousands of prisoners, with estimates up to 300,000 victims. Women and children were subjected to widespread rape, mutilation, and terror intended to crush morale and resistance. Although the Safety Zone saved many lives, it could not shield all refugees from harm, and looting and arson devastated large parts of the city. Foreign witnesses, missionaries, and diary entries documented the extensive brutality and the apparent premeditated nature of many acts, noting the collapse of discipline among troops and orders that shaped the violence. #169 Nanjing has Fallen, the War is not Over Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. Directly after the fall of Nanjing, rumors circulated among the city's foreigners that Tang Shengzhi had been executed for his inability to hold the city against the Japanese onslaught. In fact, unlike many of his subordinates who fought in the defense, he survived. On December 12, he slipped through Yijiang Gate, where bullets from the 36th Division had claimed numerous victims, and sailed across the Yangtze to safety. Chiang Kai-shek protected him from bearing direct consequences for Nanjing's collapse. Tang was not unscathed, however. After the conquest of Nanjing, a dejected Tang met General Li Zongren at Xuzhou Railway Station. In a brief 20-minute conversation, Tang lamented, “Sir, Nanjing's fall has been unexpectedly rapid. How can I face the world?” Li, who had previously taunted Tang for over-eagerness, offered sympathy. “Don't be discouraged. Victory or defeat comes every day for the soldier. Our war of resistance is a long-term proposition. The loss of one city is not decisive.” By December 1937, the outlook for Chiang Kai-shek's regime remained bleak. Despite his public pledges, he had failed to defend the capital. Its sturdy walls, which had withstood earlier sieges, were breached in less than 100 hours. Foreign observers remained pessimistic about the prospects of continuing the fight against Japan. The New York Times wrote “The capture of Nanking was the most overwhelming defeat suffered by the Chinese and one of the most tragic military debacles in modern warfare. In defending Nanking, the Chinese allowed themselves to be surrounded and then slaughtered… The graveyard of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers may also be the graveyard of all Chinese hopes of resisting conquest by Japan.” Foreign diplomats doubted Chiang's ability to sustain the war, shrinking the question to whether he would stubbornly continue a losing fight or seek peace. US Ambassador Nelson Johnson wrote in a letter to Admiral Yarnell, then commander of the US Asicatic Fleet “There is little left now for the Chinese to do except to carry on a desultory warfare in the country, or to negotiate for the best terms they can get”. The Japanese, too, acted as if Chiang Kai-shek had already lost the war. They assumed the generalissimo was a spent force in Chinese politics as well, and that a gentle push would suffice to topple his regime like a house of cards. On December 14, Prime Minister Konoe announced that Chiang's losses of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and now Nanjing, had created a new situation. “The National Government has become but a shadow of its former self. If a new Chinese regime emerged to replace Chiang's government, Japan would deal with it, provided it is a regime headed in the right direction.” Konoe spoke the same day as a Liaison Conference in Tokyo, where civilian and military leaders debated how to treat China now that it had been thoroughly beaten on the battlefield. Japanese demands had grown significantly: beyond recognizing Manchukuo, Japan pressed for the creation of pro-Japanese regimes in Inner Mongolia and the north China area. The same day, a puppet government was established in Japanese-occupied Beijing. While these demands aimed to end China as a unitary state, Japanese policy was moving toward the same goal. The transmissions of these demands via German diplomatic channels caused shock and consternation in Chinese government circles, and the Chinese engaged in what many regarded as stalling tactics. Even at this late stage, there was division among Japan's top decision makers. Tada, deputy chief of the Army General Staff, feared a protracted war in China and urged keeping negotiations alive. He faced strong opposition from the cabinet, including the foreign minister and the ministers of the army and navy, and ultimately he relented. Tada stated “In this state of emergency, it is necessary to avoid any political upheaval that might arise from a struggle between the Cabinet and the Army General Staff.” Although he disagreed, he no longer challenged the uncompromising stance toward China. On January 16, 1938, Japan publicly stated that it would “cease henceforth to deal with” Chiang Kai-shek. This was a line that could not be uncrossed. War was the only option. Germany, the mediator between China and Japan, also considered Chiang a losing bet. In late January 1938, von Dirksen, the German ambassador in Tokyo, urged a fundamental shift in German diplomacy and advocated abandoning China in favor of Japan. He warned that this was a matter of urgency, since Japan harbored grudges against Germany for its half-hearted peace efforts. In a report, von Dirksen wrote that Japan, “in her deep ill humor, will confront us with unpleasant decisions at an inopportune moment.” Von Dirksen's view carried the day in Berlin. Nazi Germany and Hirohito's Japan were on a trajectory that, within three years, would forge the Axis and place Berlin and Tokyo in the same camp in a conflict that would eventually span the globe. Rabe, who returned to Germany in 1938, found that his account of Japanese atrocities in Nanjing largely fell on deaf ears. He was even visited by the Gestapo, which apparently pressed him to keep quiet about what he had seen. Ambassador von Dirksen also argued in his January 1938 report that China should be abandoned because of its increasingly friendly ties with the Soviet Union. There was some merit to this claim. Soviet aid to China was substantial: by the end of 1937, 450 Soviet aviators were serving in China. Without them, Japan likely would have enjoyed air superiority. Chiang Kai-shek, it seemed, did not fully understand the Russians' motives. They were supplying aircraft and pilots to keep China in the war while keeping themselves out. After Nanjing's fall, Chiang nevertheless reached out to Joseph Stalin, inviting direct Soviet participation in the war. Stalin politely declined, noting that if the Soviet Union joined the conflict, “the world would say the Soviet Union was an aggressor, and sympathy for Japan around the world would immediately increase.” In a rare moment of candor a few months later, the Soviet deputy commissar for foreign affairs spoke with the French ambassador, describing the situation in China as “splendid.” He expected China to continue fighting for several more years, after which Japan would be too weakened to undertake major operations against the Soviet Union. It was clear that China was being used. Whatever the motive, China was receiving vital help from Stalin's Russia while the rest of the world stood on the sidelines, reluctant to upset Japan. Until Operation Barbarossa, when the Soviet Union was forced to the brink by the German Army and could no longer sustain extensive overseas aid, it supplied China with 904 planes, 1,516 trucks, 1,140 artillery pieces, 9,720 machine guns, 50,000 rifles, 31,600 bombs, and more. Despite all of this, all in all, China's position proved less disastrous than many observers had feared. Chinese officials later argued that the battle of Nanjing was not the unmitigated fiasco it appeared to be. Tang Shengzhi had this to say in his memoirs“I think the main purpose of defending Nanjing was to buy time, to allow troops that had just been pulled out of battle to rest and regroup. It wasn't simply because it was the capital or the site of Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum.” Tan Daoping, an officer in Nanjing, described the battle “as a moderate success because it drew the Japanese in land”. This of course was a strategy anticipated by interwar military thinker Jiang Baili. It also allowed dozens of Chinese divisions to escape Shanghai, since the Japanese forces that could have pursued them were tied down with the task of taking Nanjing. Tan Daoping wrote after the war “They erred in believing they could wage a quick war and decide victory immediately. Instead, their dream was shattered; parts of their forces were worn out, and they were hindered from achieving a swift end”. Even so, it was a steep price was paid in Chinese lives. As in Shanghai, the commanders in Nanjing thought they could fight on the basis of sheer willpower. Chinese officer Qin Guo Qi wrote in his memoirs “In modern war, you can't just rely on the spirit of the troops. You can't merely rely on physical courage and stamina. The battle of Nanjing explains that better than anything”. As for the Brigade commander of the 87th division, Chen Yiding, who emerged from Nanjing with only a few hundred survivors, was enraged. “During the five days of the battle for Nanjing, my superiors didn't see me even once. They didn't do their duty. They also did not explain the overall deployments in the Nanjing area. What's worse, they didn't give us any order to retreat. And afterwards I didn't hear of any commander being disciplined for failing to do his job.” Now back in November of 1937, Chiang Kai-shek had moved his command to the great trinity of Wuhan. For the Nationalists, Wuhan was a symbolically potent stronghold: three municipalities in one, Hankou, Wuchang, and Hanyang. They had all grown prosperous as gateways between coastal China and the interior. But the autumn disasters of 1937 thrust Wuhan into new prominence, and, a decade after it had ceased to be the temporary capital, it again became the seat of military command and resistance. Leading Nationalist politicians had been seen in the city in the months before the war, fueling suspicions that Wuhan would play a major role in any imminent conflict. By the end of the year, the generals and their staffs, along with most of the foreign embassies, had moved upriver. Yet as 1937 slipped into 1938, the Japanese advance seemed practically unstoppable. From the destruction of Shanghai, to the massacre in Nanjing, to the growing vulnerability of Wuhan, the NRA government appeared powerless against the onslaught. Now the Japanese government faced several options: expanding the scope of the war to force China into submission, which would risk further depletion of Japan's military and economic resources; establishing an alternative regime in China as a bridge for reconciliation, thereby bypassing the Nationalist government for negotiations; and engaging in indirect or direct peace negotiations with the Nationalist Government, despite the failure of previous attempts, while still seeking new opportunities for negotiation. However, the Nanjing massacre did not compel the Chinese government and its people to submit. On January 2, Chiang Kai-shek wrote in his diary, “The conditions proposed by Japan are equivalent to the conquest and extinction of our country. Rather than submitting and perishing, it is better to perish in defeat,” choosing to refuse negotiations and continue resistance. In January 1938 there was a new escalation of hostilities. Up to that point, Japan had not officially declared war, even during the Shanghai campaign and the Nanjing massacre. However on January 11, an Imperial Conference was held in Tokyo in the presence of Emperor Hirohito. Prime Minister Konoe outlined a “Fundamental Policy to deal with the China Incident.”The Imperial Conference was attended by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, Army Chief of Staff Prince Kan'in, Navy Minister Admiral Fushimi, and others to reassess its policy toward China. Citing the Nationalist Government's delay and lack of sincerity, the Japanese leadership decided to terminate Trautmann's mediation. At the conference, Japan articulated a dual strategy: if the Nationalist Government did not seek peace, Japan would no longer regard it as a viable negotiating partner, instead supporting emerging regimes, seeking to resolve issues through incidents, and aiming either to eliminate or incorporate the existing central government; if the Nationalist Government sought reconciliation, it would be required to cease resistance, cooperate with Japan against communism, and pursue economic cooperation, including officially recognizing Manchukuo and allowing Japanese troops in Inner Mongolia, North China, Central China, and co-governance of Shanghai. The Konoe cabinet relayed this proposal to the German ambassador in Japan on December 22, 1937: It called for: diplomatic recognition of Manchukuo; autonomy for Inner Mongolia; cessation of all anti-Japanese and anti-Manchukuo policies; cooperation between Japan, Manchukuo, and China against communism; war reparations; demilitarized zones in North China and Inner Mongolia; and a trade agreement among Japan, Manchukuo, and China. Its terms were too severe, including reparations payable to Japan and new political arrangements that would formalize the separation of north China under Japanese control. Chiang's government would have seventy-two hours to accept; if they refused, Tokyo would no longer recognize the Nationalist government and would seek to destroy it. On January 13, 1938, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui informed Germany that China needed a fuller understanding of the additional conditions for peace talks to make a decision. The January 15 deadline for accepting Japan's terms elapsed without Chinese acceptance. Six days after the deadline for a Chinese government reply, an Imperial Conference “Gozen Kaigi” was convened in Tokyo to consider how to handle Trautmann's mediation. The navy, seeing the war as essentially an army matter, offered no strong position; the army pressed for ending the war through diplomatic means, arguing that they faced a far more formidable Far Eastern Soviet threat at the northern Manchukuo border and wished to avoid protracted attrition warfare. Foreign Minister Kōki Hirota, however, strongly disagreed with the army, insisting there was no viable path to Trautmann's mediation given the vast gap between Chinese and Japanese positions. A second conference followed on January 15, 1938, attended by the empire's principal cabinet members and military leaders, but without the emperor's presence. The debate grew heated over whether to continue Trautmann's mediation. Hayao Tada, Deputy Chief of Army General Staff, argued for continuation, while Konoe, Hirota, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonai, and War Minister Hajime Sugiyama opposed him. Ultimately, Tada acceded to the position of Konoe and Hirota. On the same day, Konoe conveyed the cabinet's conclusion, termination of Trautmann's mediation, to the emperor. The Japanese government then issued a statement on January 16 declaring that it would no longer treat the Nationalist Government as a bargaining partner, signaling the establishment of a new Chinese regime that would cooperate with Japan and a realignment of bilateral relations. This became known as the first Konoe statement, through which Tokyo formally ended Trautmann's mediation attempt. The Chinese government was still weighing its response when, at noon on January 16, Konoe publicly declared, “Hereafter, the Imperial Government will not deal with the National Government.” In Japanese, this became the infamous aite ni sezu (“absolutely no dealing”). Over the following days, the Japanese government made it clear that this was a formal breach of relations, “stronger even than a declaration of war,” in the words of Foreign Minister Hirota Kōki. The Chinese ambassador to Japan, who had been in Tokyo for six months since hostilities began, was finally recalled. At the end of January, Chiang summoned a military conference and declared that the top strategic priority would be to defend the east-central Chinese city of Xuzhou, about 500 kilometers north of Wuhan. This decision, like the mobilization near Lugouqiao, was heavily influenced by the railway: Xuzhou sat at the midpoint of the Tianjin–Pukou Jinpu line, and its seizure would grant the Japanese mastery over north–south travel in central China. The Jinpu line also crossed the Longhai line, China's main cross-country artery from Lanzhou to the port of Lianyungang, north of Shanghai. The Japanese military command marked the Jinpu line as a target in spring 1938. Control over Xuzhou and the rail lines threading through it were thus seen as vital to the defense of Wuhan, which lay to the city's south. Chiang's defense strategy fit into a larger plan evolving since the 1920s, when the military thinker Jiang Baili had first proposed a long war against Japan; Jiang's foresight earned him a position as an adviser to Chiang in 1938. Jiang had previously run the Baoding military academy, a predecessor of the Whampoa academy, which had trained many of China's finest young officers in the early republic 1912–1922. Now, many of the generals who had trained under Jiang gathered in Wuhan and would play crucial roles in defending the city: Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Tang Shengzhi, and Xue Yue. They remained loyal to Chiang but sought to avoid his tendency to micromanage every aspect of strategy. Nobody could say with certainty whether Wuhan would endure the Japanese onslaught, and outsiders' predictions were gloomy. As Wuhan's inhabitants tasted their unexpected new freedoms, the Japanese pressed on with their conquest of central China. After taking Nanjing, the IJA 13th Division crossed the Yangtze River to the north and advanced to the Outang and Mingguang lines on the east bank of the Chihe River in Anhui Province, while the 2nd Army of the North China Front crossed the Yellow River to the south between Qingcheng and Jiyang in Shandong, occupied Jinan, and pressed toward Jining, Mengyin, and Qingdao. To open the Jinpu Railway and connect the northern and southern battlefields, the Japanese headquarters mobilized eight divisions, three brigades, and two detachments , totaling about 240,000 men. They were commanded by General Hata Shunroku, commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army, and Terauchi Hisaichi, commander of the North China Front Army. Their plan was a north–south advance: first seize Xuzhou, a strategic city in east China; then take Zhengzhou in the west along the Longhai Railway connecting Lanzhou and Lianyungang; and finally push toward Wuhan in the south along the Pinghan Railway connecting Beijing and Hankou. At the beginning of 1938, Japan's domestic mobilization and military reorganization had not yet been completed, and there was a shortage of troops to expand the front. At the Emperor's Imperial Conference on February 16, 1938, the General Staff Headquarters argued against launching operations before the summer of 1938, preferring to consolidate the front in 1938 and undertake a large-scale battle in 1939. Although the Northern China Expeditionary Force and the Central China Expeditionary Force proposed a plan to open the Jinpu Line to connect the northern and southern battlefields, the proposal was not approved by the domestic General Staff Headquarters. The Chinese army, commanded by Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, mobilized about 64 divisions and three brigades, totaling roughly 600,000 men. The main force was positioned north of Xuzhou to resist the southern Japanese advance, with a portion deployed along the southern Jinpu Railway to block the southern push and secure Xuzhou. Early in the campaign, Chiang Kai-shek redeployed the heavy artillery brigade originally promised to Han Fuju to Tang Enbo's forces. To preserve his strength, Shandong Provincial Governor Han Fuju abandoned the longstanding Yellow River defenses in Shandong, allowing the Japanese to capture the Shandong capital of Jinan in early March 1938. This defection opened the Jinpu Railway to attack. The Japanese 10th Division, under Rensuke Isogai, seized Tai'an, Jining, and Dawenkou, ultimately placing northern Shandong under Japanese control. The aim was to crush the Chinese between the two halves of a pincer movement. At Yixian and Huaiyuan, north of Xuzhou, both sides fought to the death: the Chinese could not drive back the Japanese, but the Japanese could not scatter the defenders either. At Linyi, about 50 kilometers northeast of Xuzhou, Zhang Zizhong, who had previously disgraced himself by abandoning an earlier battlefield—became a national hero for his determined efforts to stop the Japanese troops led by Itagaki Seishirō, the conqueror of Manchuria. The Japanese hoped that they could pour in as many as 400,000 troops to destroy the Chinese forces holding eastern and central China. Chiang Kai-shek was determined that this should not happen, recognizing that the fall of Xuzhou would place Wuhan in extreme danger. On April 1, 1938, he addressed Nationalist Party delegates, linking the defense of Wuhan to the fate of the party itself. He noted that although the Japanese had invaded seven provinces, they had only captured provincial capitals and main transport routes, while villages and towns off those routes remained unconquered. The Japanese, he argued, might muster more than half a million soldiers, but after eight or nine months of hard fighting they had become bogged down. Chiang asserted that as long as Guangzhou (Canton) remained in Chinese hands, it would be of little significance if the Japanese invaded Wuhan, since Guangzhou would keep China's sea links open and Guangdong, Sun Yat-sen's homeland, would serve as a revolutionary base area. If the “woren” Japanese “dwarfs” attacked Wuhan and Guangzhou, it would cost them dearly and threaten their control over the occupied zones. He reiterated his plan: “the base area for our war will not be in the zones east of the Beiping–Wuhan or Wuhan–Guangdong railway lines, but to their west.” For this reason he authorized withdrawing Chinese troops behind the railway lines. Chiang's speech mixed defiance with an explanation of why regrouping was necessary; it was a bold public posture in the face of a developing military disaster, yet it reflected the impossible balance he faced between signaling resolve and avoiding overcommitment of a city that might still fall. Holding Xuzhou as the first priority required Chiang Kai-shek to place a great deal of trust in one of his rivals: the southwestern general Li Zongren. The relationship between Chiang and Li would become one of the most ambivalent in wartime China. Li hailed from Guangxi, a province in southwestern China long regarded by the eastern heartland as half civilized. Its people had rarely felt fully part of the empire ruled from Beijing or even Nanjing, and early in the republic there was a strong push for regional autonomy. Li was part of a cohort of young officers trained in regional academies who sought to bring Guangxi under national control; he joined the Nationalist Party in 1923, the year Sun Yat-sen announced his alliance with the Soviets. Li was not a Baoding Academy graduate but had trained at Yunnan's equivalent institution, which shared similar views on military professionalism. He enthusiastically took part in the Northern Expedition (1926–1928) and played a crucial role in the National Revolutionary Army's ascent to control over much of north China. Yet after the Nanjing government took power, Li grew wary of Chiang's bid to centralize authority in his own person. In 1930 Li's so‑called “Guangxi clique” participated in the Central Plains War, the failed effort by militarist leaders to topple Chiang; although the plot failed, Li retreated to his southwest base, ready to challenge Chiang again. The occupation of Manchuria in 1931 reinforced Li's belief that a Japanese threat posed a greater danger than Chiang's centralization. The tension between the two men was evident from the outset of the war. On October 10, 1937, Chiang appointed Li commander of the Fifth War Zone; Li agreed on the condition that Chiang refrain from issuing shouling—personal commands—to Li's subordinates. Chiang complied, a sign of the value he placed on Li's leadership and the caution with which he treated Li and his Guangxi ally Bai Chongxi. As Chiang sought any possible victory amid retreat and destruction, he needed Li to deliver results. As part of the public-relations front, journalists were given access to commanders on the Xuzhou front. Li and his circle sought to shape their image as capable leaders to visiting reporters, with Du Zhongyuan among the most active observers. Du praised the “formidable southwestern general, Li Zongren,” calling him “elegant and refined” and “vastly magnanimous.” In language echoing the era's soldiers' public presentation, Du suggested that Li's forces operated under strict, even disciplined, orders “The most important point in the people's war is that . . . troops do not harass the people of the country. If the people are the water, the soldiers are the fish, and if you have fish with no water, inevitably they're going to choke; worse still is to use our water to nurture the enemy's fish — that really is incomparably stupid”. Within the southern front, on January 26, 1938, the Japanese 13th Division attacked Fengyang and Bengbu in Anhui Province, while Li Pinxian, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the 5th War Zone, directed operations south of Xuzhou. The defending 31st Corps of the 11th Group Army, after resisting on the west bank of the Chi River, retreated to the west of Dingyuan and Fengyang. By February 3, the Japanese had captured Linhuai Pass and Bengbu. From the 9th to the 10th, the main force of the 13th Division forced a crossing of the Huai River at Bengbu and Linhuai Pass respectively, and began an offensive against the north bank. The 51st Corps, reorganized from the Central Plains Northeast Army and led by Commander Yu Xuezhong, engaged in fierce combat with the Japanese. Positions on both sides of the Huai shifted repeatedly, producing a riverine bloodbath through intense hand-to-hand fighting. After ten days of engagement, the Fifth War Zone, under Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 59th Army, rushed to the Guzhen area to reinforce the 51st Army, and the two forces stubbornly resisted the Japanese on the north bank of the Huai River. Meanwhile, on the south bank, the 48th Army of the 21st Group Army held the Luqiao area, while the 7th Army, in coordination with the 31st Army, executed a flanking attack on the flanks and rear of the Japanese forces in Dingyuan, compelling the main body of the 13th Division to redeploy to the north bank for support. Seizing the initiative, the 59th and 51st Armies launched a counteroffensive, reclaiming all positions north of the Huai River by early March. The 31st Army then moved from the south bank to the north, and the two sides faced across the river. Subsequently, the 51st and 59th Armies were ordered to reinforce the northern front, while the 31st Army continued to hold the Huai River to ensure that all Chinese forces covering the Battle of Xuzhou were safely withdrawn. Within the northern front, in late February, the Japanese Second Army began its southward push along multiple routes. The eastern axis saw the 5th Division moving south from Weixian present-day Weifang, in Shandong, capturing Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao before pressing directly toward Linyi, as units of the Nationalist Third Corps' 40th Army and others mounted strenuous resistance. The 59th Army was ordered to reinforce and arrived on March 12 at the west bank of the Yi River in the northern suburbs of Linyi, joining the 40th Army in a counterattack that, after five days and nights of ferocious fighting, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese and forced them to retreat toward Juxian. On the western route, the Seya Detachment (roughly a brigade) of the Japanese 10th Division crossed the Grand Canal from Jining and attacked Jiaxiang, meeting stiff resistance from the Third Army and being thwarted, while continuing to advance south along the Jinpu Railway. The Isogai Division, advancing on the northern route without awaiting help from the southeast and east, moved southward from Liangxiadian, south of Zouxian, on March 14, with the plan to strike Tengxian, present-day Tengzhou on March 15 and push south toward Xuzhou. The defending 22nd Army and the 41st Corps fought bravely and suffered heavy casualties in a hard battle that lasted until March 17, during which Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 122nd Division defending Teng County, was killed in action. Meanwhile, a separate Japanese thrust under Itagaki Seishirō landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula and occupied Qingdao, advancing along the Jiaoji Line to strike Linyi, a key military town in southern Shandong. Pang Bingxun's 40th Army engaged the invaders in fierce combat, and later, elements of Zhang Zizhong's 333rd Brigade of the 111th Division, reinforced by the 57th Army, joined Pang Bingxun's forces to launch a double-sided pincer that temporarily repelled the Japanese attack on Linyi. By late March 1938 a frightening reality loomed: the Japanese were close to prevailing on the Xuzhou front. The North China Area Army, commanded by Itagaki Seishirō, Nishio Toshizō, and Isogai Rensuke, was poised to link up with the Central China Expeditionary Force under Hata Shunroku in a united drive toward central China. Li Zongren, together with his senior lieutenants Bai Chongxi and Tang Enbo, decided to confront the invaders at Taierzhuang, the traditional stone-walled city that would become a focal point of their defense.

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, un film de guerre, qui parle de la Résistance, des hommes et des femmes qui la font, de ce que cela implique, et le tout sans concessions. LʹArmée des Ombres est signée Jean-Pierre Melville, adapté du roman du même nom de Joseph Kessel. Résistant lui-même, Jean-Pierre Melville se passionne immédiatement pour cette histoire quʹil lit à Londres dès sa sortie en 1943 et dont il sait, quʹun jour, il fera un film. Mais pas tout de suite. Avant, il doit revenir en France, réaliser un premier long-métrage, Le Silence de la Mer, qui traite aussi de la guerre, et beaucoup dʹautres films qui assoient sa réputation de cinéaste sérieux, amoureux des polars. En 1969, il est prêt. Prêt à raconter lʹhistoire de Philippe Gerbier, dirigeant dʹun réseau de résistants, arrêté pour pensées gaullistes, et qui s'échappe lors de son transfert vers la Gestapo parisienne. Mais les arrestations des membres de son réseau se suivent et les tentatives de libération ne sont pas toutes fructueuses. Elimination de traitre, transfert en Angleterre, évasions, assassinats, courage et loyauté sont de mise dans lʹArmée des Ombres, un film cher au cinéaste pour qui les faits dʹarmes des Résistants et Résistantes français sont moins intéressants que leurs doutes et leurs zones sombres. Considéré à lʹépoque comme le film le plus coûteux du cinéma français, on y trouve la crème des acteurs et actrices du moment : Lino Ventura, Simone Signoret, Paul Meurisse et Jean-Pierre-Cassel. Un soin tout particulier est également donné à lʹimage, lavée, presque verte, tendant vers un noir et blanc qui ancre encore plus le récit. Peu apprécié à sa sortie, lʹArmée des Ombres est néanmoins depuis devenu un classique. Et nous allons vous dire tout ce quʹon en sait. Cʹest un film raconteur dʹune tranche dʹHistoire du 20e siècle et pour lequel nous avons une ribambelle dʹarchives à disposition, la musique du film, des anecdotes, des extraits. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà mettre nos pas dans ceux de Jean-Pierre Melville et de ses Résistants.

Accusations of Democratic Extremism Ben and Sen Cruz call out Democrats for using inflammatory language (e.g., calling Republicans “fascists,” ICE “Gestapo,” or U.S. politics a “supervillain convention”). They argue this rhetoric contributes to real-world violence, citing examples like the assassination of Charlie Kirk, attacks on ICE facilities, and other incidents. ICE and Law Enforcement The segment focuses on how Democrats describe ICE in terms linked to Nazi Germany, slavery, and authoritarian regimes. The commentary frames these descriptions as dangerous because they demonize law enforcement and allegedly inspire violence against officers. Government Shutdown Hypocrisy The discussion highlights Democrats’ past opposition to government shutdowns (using 2018 quotes) and contrasts it with their alleged role in a current shutdown. The speakers accuse Democrats of hypocrisy, noting they once said shutdowns hurt “everyday Americans” but are now engaged in one themselves. Violence and Ideological Conflict Ben and Sen Cruz emphasize left-wing violence, referencing BLM protests, campus antisemitism, riots in Los Angeles, and assassination attempts. They contrast this with what they describe as conservative restraint, claiming the right condemns violence universally while the left often encourages or celebrates it.

We are joined by filmmaker Matt Whitaker, director of Truth and Treason, to explore the remarkable life of Helmut Hübener, a teenage Latter-day Saint who dared to defy Nazi Germany. At only 17 years old, Helmut became the youngest resistance fighter executed by the Third Reich, standing against tyranny with nothing but courage, conviction, and the written word.Whitaker shares how Helmut secretly listened to forbidden BBC broadcasts on a smuggled shortwave radio, uncovering truths hidden by Nazi propaganda. Inspired by what he heard, Helmut began typing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets with the help of friends in his LDS branch, risking everything to tell the truth. The conversation also highlights the moral struggles faced by ordinary Germans, including local church leaders, and the chilling reality that the Gestapo closely monitored the Mormon community.Blending historical detail with deeply human reflection, this episode shows how one young man's bravery continues to inspire generations. From Helmut's quiet defiance to the modern retelling of his story in Truth and Treason with Angel Studios, listeners are invited to reflect on the cost of truth, the dangers of silence, and the enduring power of faith in the face of tyranny.

Trump's gestapo is becoming increasingly unhinged and unrestrained as a direct result of the regime's crackdown on political dissent. In this video we'll look at some viral examples of ICE abuse and discuss what the Trump regime is doing to crush all dissent (both online and in real life)... a piece from The Humanist Report news channel
Michigan Church Attack The discussion opens with news of a violent attack at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan, where a man drove a truck into the building, opened fire, killed four people, injured ten, and set the church on fire. The speakers frame the attack as part of a wider trend of violence against religious institutions, emphasizing hostility toward people of faith. They highlight the quick response of law enforcement, using it to argue against what they see as Democratic “demonization” of police and ICE agents. The “Schumer Shutdown” Cruz and Ferguson repeatedly call it a “Schumer Shutdown,” arguing Democrats are deliberately causing it to appease their progressive base and avoid criticism from figures like AOC. They claim Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution (CR) to keep government open, but Democrats opposed it for political reasons. They warn of shutdown consequences, such as furloughed workers, closed national parks, and delayed paychecks, while also suggesting it could be an opportunity for Trump’s administration to terminate “deep state” bureaucrats in agencies like the EPA, IRS, and Labor Department. The commentary portrays Democrats as inconsistent, citing their past statements opposing shutdowns. Escalating Democratic Rhetoric and Its Effects The episode then devotes significant time to Democratic leaders’ rhetoric about Republicans, ICE, and law enforcement. It cites examples: Gavin Newsom calling Stephen Miller a fascist, Hakeem Jeffries describing Trump’s inauguration as a “supervillain convention,” and others comparing ICE to the Gestapo or slave patrols. The speakers argue this rhetoric incites violence against conservatives and law enforcement, linking it to incidents like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and attacks on ICE facilities. They present this as part of a broader Democratic strategy to delegitimize institutions like ICE, police, and the Supreme Court. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

“This is Ground Zero for Agenda 2030 across the Globe. What is here Epitomizes what ALL Farmers are Facing, including the Highest Risk of Mankind's Food Security and Natural Solutions to Heal being Eradicated from God's Creation” Mere hours from the peaceful, 35-yr old multi-generational farm in British Columbia, a CHILD IS REPORTED MISSING and a community responds… Yet instead of mounting area-wide search efforts for the child… An estimated 140 RCMP vehicles, with an estimated 200+ armed RCMP agents, their Helicopters, Surveillance Units, Drones, a Mobile Command Unit including the RCMP Tactical Team (Emergency Response Unit deployed in acts of terrorism) convoyed 3 hours, descending upon Universal Ostrich Farms. What mission is more important than searching for a missing 5yr old boy? What warrants this over investigating and dismantling terrorist networks? Or stopping the flow of deadly fentanyl, drug trafficking or human smugglers? Even investigating crimes against humanity, or... Hunting down sexual predators? (By their very actions, words and deeds, to these members of the RCMP, it's more important to support a W.H.O. proclamation pushed by Canada's deep state and kill these birds...) Along a scenic highway inside the Rocky Mountain interior this week, dozens of law enforcement began terrorizing the Grandmother, her daughter Katie Pasitney, and co-owner David Belinski. The government agents swarmed the farm, locking down airspace and planting themselves firmly on private property setting up to eviscerate 400 healthy ostriches with 230 healthy days of herd immunity. The antibodies produced by the eggs of these very ostriches have been clinically proven across numerous studies from the USA to Kyoto University in Japan, to prevent or heal humans from various strains of flu, from COVID itself, plus provide a natural diet alternative to Big Pharma's Ozempic...and perhaps might potentially heal cancer.
Democrats smear ICE as Nazis and Gestapo — and then act shocked when a leftist opens fire on a Dallas detention center. The media shrugs off the shooter’s clear motive, just like they bury the truth about the men who tried to assassinate Trump. From Charlie Kirk’s assassination to political violence normalized on the left, America is entering a dark new chapter. But out of the chaos comes revival — churches filling, faith rising, and patriots refusing to back down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dallas ICE Facility Shooting A gunman attacked an ICE detention center in Dallas, leaving one detainee dead and two critically injured. Authorities found bullet casings with anti-ICE messages, suggesting a political/ideological motive. Commentary links the attack to months of Democratic criticism of ICE, claiming that political rhetoric fueled hostility toward agents. Statements from Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Wu, and others are highlighted as comparing ICE to authoritarian forces, slave patrols, Gestapo, or neo-Nazis. ICE officials argue this rhetoric endangers agents, while critics on MSNBC suggest ICE’s own tactics provoke backlash. Figures like Ted Cruz and JD Vance call for toning down rhetoric and condemn politically motivated violence. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Breaking news out of Dallas: a sniper opens fire on an ICE facility, the latest act of political violence fueled by Democrats who smear law enforcement as Nazis and Gestapo. Gavin Newsom moves to strip protections from ICE agents while cartels and gangs put targets on their families. At the same time, Google admits the Biden administration pressured Big Tech to silence conservatives — proof of real authoritarianism even as Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of it. America is at a crossroads: political bloodshed, government censorship, and a revival of faith in the face of chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Courageous resistance fighter Elżbieta Zawacka, aka ‘Agent Zo', was the only woman to parachute from Britain to Nazi-German occupied Poland during the Second World War. While being hunted by the Gestapo there, who arrested her entire family, she established a military intelligence network, couriered microfilm across wartime borders and, as the only female member of the Polish elite special forces, the ‘Silent Unseen,' played a key role in the largest organized act of defiance against Nazi German occupation – the Warsaw Uprising. Author Clare Mulley shares her amazing story described in her book Agent Zo: The Untold Story of a Fearless World War II Resistance Fighter.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

9/10/25 - Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus (1901–1951) was a French mystic, visionary, and Augustinian nun whose hidden holiness shook the 20th century. From a young age she experienced mystical visions of Christ and the Virgin Mary, later becoming known for miraculous healings and the powerful prayer she received from Jesus: “O Jesus, King of Love, I put my trust in Thy merciful goodness.” During World War II, she fearlessly hid members of the French Resistance and Jewish refugees from the Gestapo inside her convent, narrowly escaping arrest and torture. After the war, she became Mother Superior of the Augustinian monastery in Malestroit, where her life of heroic charity, extraordinary mystical gifts, and devotion to the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy inspired countless souls. In this episode, we explore her visions, miracles, prophecies, and her witness of courage in Nazi-occupied France. Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus stands as a radiant example of Eucharistic devotion, Marian consecration, and trust in God's mercy amidst suffering.
Tom Homan, President Trump's Border Czar and former Acting ICE Director, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the latest developments in Operation Midway Blitz and the effort to finish the ICE operations launched during Trump's first term. Homan also responded to Mika Brzezinski's inflammatory comments made to him on Morning Joe accusing ICE of "disappearing people," and pushed back on the dangerous rhetoric framing ICE agents as the "Gestapo" which he said puts law enforcement officers at risk every single day. Homan also responded to the left's rhetoric claiming that ICE is "racially profiling" criminals that they arrest, and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His 42-year marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia Delectorskaya. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse's son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse's estranged wife, Amélie, worked for the Communist underground. His beloved daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp—and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger, son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his teenaged grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus, his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal, and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic and daringly new.Drawing on intimate letters and a multitude of other sources, Christopher C. Gorham illuminates this momentous stage of Matisse's life as never before in Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi Occupied France (Citadel Press, 2025), revealing an artist on a journey of reinvention, wrenching meaning from the suffering of war, and holding up the light of human imagination against the torch of fascism to create some of the most exciting work of his career, of the 20th century, and in the history of art.

Residents of Washington, DC, continue to take to the streets to protest President Trump's federal takeover of the city and deployment of National Guard troops and federal law enforcement officers as a “solution” to a fabricated “crime wave.” “We demand ICE out of DC. We demand an end to this unnecessary law enforcement,” Nee Nee Taylor, co-founder and executive director of Harriet's Wildest Dreams, said at a “Free DC” rally on Monday, Aug. 18. “We demand full autonomy. We demand: Hands off DC!” TRNN correspondent and host of Rattling the Bars Mansa Musa reports from the ground in federally occupied Washington, DC.Additional links/info:Free DC Coalition website, Facebook page, and InstagramStephen Prager, Common Dreams, “New Trump order among 'scariest things I've seen in US politics,' civil rights attorney says”Stephen Prager, Common Dreams, “Trump may ‘fabricate a national emergency' to extend DC takeover without Congressional support”Maximillian Alvarez & Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “‘Crazy as hell!' and ‘Distraction from Epstein': Residents respond to Trump's takeover of Washington, DC”Dave Zirin, The Nation, “The dangers and absurdities of Trump's DC occupation”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
VR3 - It 's Thomas, Lydia, and Matt versus the entire National Review editorial board! Join us as we take on the conservative magazine's recent op-ed on why it is extremely rude to compare masked American federal agents of today who refuse to identify themselves as they grab innocent families off of the street and shove them into unmarked vans bound for concentration camps to masked Nazi German agents of 1933-1945 who refused to identify themselves as they grabbed innocent families off the street and shoved them into vans bound for concentration camps. Matt explains with historical examples why ICE is not NOT the Gestapo as we consider what we can learn from Nazi history. We celebrate the recent return of Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US after his illegal deportation to El Salvador with a take so bad that it is hard to believe that the whole thing wasn't actually published in The Onion. What was the audience for this willfully obtuse Newsweek op-ed praising the DOJ for finding a way to bring Abrego Garcia back other than the fact that the Supreme Court told them to, and what is this trying to say to them? Has this thing already aged worse than Stephen Miller? Finally: updates from Martha's Vineyard (last week's patron-only story) as Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz and his crusade to bring down the considerable weight of the law against people who refuse to serve him tasty Polish food.

After months of condemning ICE as Gestapo-like, Democrats and the media act surprised when a man opens fire on Border Patrol; fallout continues from the DOJ and FBI's surprise announcement that there's Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy; and we examine Tucker Carlson's softball interview with Iran's president.Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/3WDjgHEEp.2233- - -Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings- - -DailyWire+:Join millions of people who still believe in truth, courage, and common sense at https://DailyWirePlus.com.My new book, “Lions and Scavengers,” drops September 2nd—pre-order today at https://dailywire.com/benshapiroGet your Ben Shapiro merch here: https://bit.ly/3TAu2cw- - -Today's Sponsors:Birch Gold - Text BEN to 989898 for your free information kit.Good Ranchers - Visit https://goodranchers.com and subscribe to any box using code BEN to claim $40 off + free meat for life!Helix Sleep - Go to https://helixsleep.com/ben for an exclusive offer.Policygenius - Head to https://policygenius.com/SHAPIRO to get your free life insurance quotes and see how much you could save.- - -Socials:Follow on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3cXUn53Follow on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3QtuibJFollow on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3TTirqdSubscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPyBiB- - -Privacy Policy: https://www.dailywire.com/privacy
