"Art Isn't Easy" - An Interview with Beatrice Levine

What happens when an art historian discovers Nazi memorabilia being sold at auction houses without ethical consideration? For Beatrice Levine, it sparked a journey that would transform her career and personal identity.Growing up as a military child in Germany during the 1990s, Beatrice developed a natural curiosity about Holocaust history and her own Jewish heritage. Though her father was ethnically Jewish, her family practiced the cultural aspects rather than religious observance – what Beatrice colorfully describes as "that East Coast big, lox-loving Jewish family" where everyone watched Seinfeld and said "oy" but didn't attend synagogue. This early exposure to German history planted seeds that would later bloom in unexpected ways.After pursuing art history and landing positions at prestigious auction houses, Beatrice witnessed disturbing practices surrounding Nazi artifacts and potentially looted artwork. The auction world's casual approach to selling items like Hermann Göring's weapons and Nazi tableware created what she calls "a queasy feeling" that eventually led her to specialize in provenance research – tracking the ownership history of artworks to identify those stolen during the Holocaust. The resistance she encountered when raising ethical concerns revealed how deeply rooted these problems were in the art world.When academic institutions pushed back against her research focus, Beatrice found her way to specialized Holocaust studies programs, ultimately pursuing a PhD focused on these ethical questions. Perhaps most remarkably, she formally converted to Judaism in 2023, completing her Mikvah ceremony just one month after the October 7 attacks – a decision that speaks volumes about her commitment to this path.Today, Beatrice balances serious academic work with a lighthearted approach to art history on her popular social media accounts. Her "Culture Quota" Instagram follows her mantra of providing "safe spaces" where people can enjoy art and culture as a respite from constant heaviness, while still occasionally addressing serious historical topics.Whether discussing the ethical dilemmas of inherited Nazi artifacts or sharing her favorite Real Housewives moments, Beatrice brings authenticity and depth to every conversation. Her story reminds us that confronting difficult history isn't just an academic exercise – it's deeply personal work that can transform both individual lives and our collective understanding of the past.What artifacts from difficult periods of history do you have questions about? Join the conversation and let us know how you navigate these complex ethical waters.TopDogToursTopDogTours is your walking tour company.

Slaget om Storbritannien 1940: Görings misslyckande

Storbritannien stod ensamt kvar mot Nazityskland efter Frankrikes fall. Adolf Hitler ville egentligen ha fred med Storbritannien, men britterna och premiärminister Winston Churchill valde att fortsätta kämpa.För att kunna invadera Storbritannien behövde Luftwaffe först besegra Royal Air Force (RAF) och etablera luftherravälde. Under flera månader kämpade brittiska jaktflygare i Spitfires och Hurricanes mot det numerärt överlägsna Luftwaffe. Trots svåra förluster lyckades RAF stå emot, och när hösten anlände stod det klart att Tyskland hade misslyckats med att krossa det brittiska försvaret.Detta är det femte avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om Slaget om Storbritannien 1940.Slaget om Storbritannien blev en vändpunkt i andra världskriget. När Frankrike kapitulerade den 22 juni 1940 blev Storbritanniens situation kritisk. Landet stod nu ensamt, med en krigsmakt som var försvagad efter evakueringen vid Dunkerque. De brittiska styrkorna hade förlorat stora mängder tung materiel, inklusive stridsvagnar, artilleri och transportfordon.Churchills beslutsamhet blev avgörande för Storbritanniens motstånd. Trots att vissa inom regeringen, inklusive utrikesminister Lord Halifax, övervägde en fredsuppgörelse, stod Churchill fast vid sin linje. Han ansåg att fred med Hitler endast skulle vara en kortsiktig lösning som på sikt skulle leda till att Storbritannien tvingades leva under Nazitysklands dominans. Hans beslutsamhet stärkte den brittiska moralen och bidrog till att landet stod emot trycket från Tyskland.Tysklands invasionsplan, Operation Seelöwe, byggde på att Hermann Görings Luftwaffe först behövde besegra RAF och neutralisera den brittiska flottan genom flyganfall. Planen var ambitiös men riskabel – transportfartygen var långsamma och sårbara, och utan luftherravälde skulle de bli lätta mål för brittiska bombflyg och örlogsfartyg.Luftwaffes inledande offensiv började i juli 1940 med attacker mot brittiska hamnar och fartyg i Engelska kanalen. Dessa anfall syftade till att locka ut RAF:s jaktflyg och försvaga det brittiska försvaret innan den stora offensiven tog vid. I augusti gick tyskarna vidare till nästa fas: systematiska anfall mot RAF:s flygbaser, radarsystem och logistik. Under dessa veckor var RAF hårt pressat och förlorade många flygplan och piloter. Trots detta lyckades britterna hålla sina radaranläggningar intakta, vilket var avgörande för att kunna förutse de tyska anfallen.Bild: En formation av Supermarine Spitfire Mk I från No. 610 Squadron, baserad på Biggin Hill, under ett uppdrag den 24 juli 1940.

Sången skrevs 1939 av Herms Niel, en av de mest produktiva kompositörerna av tysk marschmusik under det nazistiska Tredje riket. Den användes i samband med Tysklands planer på en invasion av Storbritannien, Operation Seelöwe, men blev även en del av den bredare propagandakulturen inom Wehrmacht.

Aan de vooravond van Dodenherdenking en Bevrijdingsdag herdenken we niet alleen, maar herkennen ook. Dat is leerzaam, maar ook confronterend. Het boek De tien van Den Haag van Stephan Steinmetz is dat zeker in tijden dat ambtenaren worstelen met vragen van loyaliteit. In Amerika bij de omgang met de regering-Trump. En ook in eigen land met vragen over controversieel beleid.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met Stephan Steinmetz over de belevenissen van de tien hoogste ambtenaren op de Haagse ministeries toen in mei 1940 Nazi-Duitsland Nederland binnenviel en al na enkele dagen dwong tot capitulatie.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Ineens stonden de secretarissen-generaal moederziel alleen, zonder gezamenlijke beleidslijn. Met een naar Londen gevluchte regering die radeloos was en met een vijandige overwinnaar die scherp had afgewogen hoe de Nederlanders te paaien en te onderwerpen. "Maak er het beste van", zei minister Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy bij het afscheid tegen zijn SG.Steinmetz vertelt met rijke details hoe de ambtelijke top niet alleen een eigen werkwijze moest vinden - die was er voorheen nauwelijks - maar ook moest leren omgaan met een bezetter die geheel anders te werk ging dan waar men zozeer voor gevreesd werd. Een merkwaardige mengeling van opluchting, daadkracht, argwaan en onbestemde vrees nam de overhand. En stiekem waren 'de tien' zelfs blij dat ze zonder ministers, parlement, verdeelde partijen en verzuilde polder nu eens flink en 'modern' aan de slag konden.Adolf Hitler wilde ‘het Germaanse broedervolk' paaien en de Nederlandse economie inzetten voor zijn oorlogsmachine. Steinmetz laat zien hoe bij alle geruststellend klinkende boodschappen - ook over 'het Jodenvraagstuk'- al in de zomer van 1940 doelgericht werd gewerkt aan de voorbereiding van het maatschappelijk isolement en de ondergang van Joden - ook in Nederland.De tien SG's kozen daarbij voor een lijn van formele samenwerking met de bezetter, om bestuur, economie en grondwettelijke rechten zoveel mogelijk overeind te houden. En ze ontdekten dat ze met de bezetter - onder leiding van Hitlers 'stadhouder' Arthur Seyss-Inquart - één doel deelden: NSB'ers zoveel mogelijk buiten de deur houden.Zo probeerden ze vanuit een defensieve houding te doen wat de vader van Jan de Koning zijn tienerzoon destijds voorhield: 'het onderscheid tussen een greppel en de laatste gracht' in de gaten houden. Dat ze zich met hun houding op ‘een hellend vlak' begaven, beseften sommigen al aan het begin van de bezetting. Anderen hielden zich vast aan hun drijfveer ‘erger te voorkomen'. De sterke man onder de SG's, Hans Hirschfeld, noemde het de principiële keuze tussen 'Gesinnungsethik' en 'Verantwortungsethik', naar de terminologie van Max Weber.Een manier om de dialoog met Seyss-Inquart en zijn staf gaande te houden was het niet agenderen van mogelijke conflictstof, maar wel formele protesten uiten als het niet anders kon. Daarna poogden ze de scherpe kantjes eraf te halen, vaak met procedurele trucjes. Toen Joodse Nederlanders geen parken meer mochten bezoeken, ontstond een hele discussie over de definitie van 'een park'.Intussen kaapte de bezetter een perfectionistisch ambtelijk project dat het mogelijk maakte iedere inwoner nauwkeurig te identificeren en registreren. Stephan Steinmetz laat zien hoe naïef professionalisme, cowboygedrag en gebrek aan toezicht vanuit de top rampzalige gevolgen kreeg.Ondertussen droegen veel Nederlanders op de verjaardag van prins Bernhard een anjer – als stil protest. De aanhankelijkheid aan het Oranjehuis deed Nazi-propagandachef Joseph Goebbels tijdens een bezoek aan Den Haag in woede ontsteken. Steinmetz vertelt buitengewoon beeldend van een confrontatie tussen Hermann Göring en opperbevelhebber Winkelman.De NSB buiten de deur houden lukte uiteindelijk niet. Allengs werden Duitsgezinde SG's in vacatures benoemd. Toch probeerden de resterenden van de oorspronkelijke tien ook met hen erbij het land draaiende te houden. De bezetter besefte dat met name Hirschfeld onmisbaar was voor de economische situatie en de loyaliteit van het bedrijfsleven.Hoogst opmerkelijk - en verrassend actueel - is hoe hij de land- en tuinbouw drastisch aanpakte om mogelijke hongersnood te voorkomen. Niet minder hoe hij zo nodig bruut de confrontatie zocht als geweld dreigde, bijvoorbeeld bij een mijnstaking. "Wilt u kolen of lijken?" zei hij ijskoud tegen de generaals.Na de bevrijding werden de SG's vooral beoordeeld op wat zij hadden gedaan om 'het verzet' te helpen. Dat zij hun taak zagen als 'erger voorkomen', de NSB tegenhouden en 'het land draaiende houden' werd minder zwaar gewogen.Des te opvallender is dat de regering na 1945 Hirschfeld toch hoge posten bleef gunnen. Impliciet besefte men blijkbaar dat "Maak er het beste van" het enige was, dat hem en zijn collega's was meegegeven in onmogelijke omstandigheden.***Verder luisteren322 - 30 januari 1933, een fatale dag voor Duitsland en de wereld105 - Dagelijks leven in Nazi-Duitsland478 - Was Hitler een socialist?314 - Prins Heinrich XIII en het verlangen naar een autoritair Duisland385 - Jan de Koning en het verschil tussen een greppel en de laatste gracht479 - Winston Churchill.

Sommaren 1939, medan Europa stod på randen till ett nytt världskrig, arbetade den svenske affärsmannen Birger Dahlerus febrilt bakom kulisserna. Han hade knutit kontakter på högsta nivå i både Nazityskland och Storbritannien och såg sig själv som en möjlig fredsmäklare.Dahlerus hade affärsintressen i Tyskland och nära relationer med högt uppsatta nazister, särskilt Göring. Trots att Hitler redan planerade invasionen av Polen, reste Dahlerus fram och tillbaka mellan Berlin och London i hopp om att förhindra kriget. Han överskattade dock sin betydelse – britterna litade inte på honom och Hitler använde honom för att splittra de allierade.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren och statssekreteraren Johan Jakobsson som skrivit boken Görings vittne – Vitvarudirektören Birger Dahlerus försök att stoppa andra världskriget.Birger Dahlerus var en svensk industriman som hade byggt upp en förmögenhet genom sina affärer med Tyskland. Han hade nära relationer med flera högt uppsatta personer inom det nazistiska etablissemanget, inte minst Göring, som såg honom som en pålitlig kontakt i Sverige.Dahlerus var övertygad om att om han bara kunde föra samman de rätta personerna, skulle kriget kunna avvärjas. Men hans försök att medla mellan Hitler och Chamberlain var dömda att misslyckas, och han blev i stället en bricka i ett större politiskt spel.I slutet av augusti 1939 intensifierade han sina försök att förhindra kriget. Han reste fram och tillbaka mellan Berlin och London i ett desperat försök att få britterna och tyskarna att förstå varandra. Dahlerus ansåg sig ha unik insyn i den tyska ledningens tankar, men överskattade sin egen betydelse. Britterna litade inte på honom, och Hitler var aldrig seriöst intresserad av en fredlig lösning – i stället använde han Dahlerus som ett verktyg för att försöka splittra de allierade.När kriget väl bröt ut, blev Dahlerus en omstridd figur. Han hade gjort affärer i Nazityskland och haft nära band till Hermann Göring, en av Hitlers närmaste män. Var han en idealistisk affärsman som verkligen ville rädda freden, eller en naiv aktör som nazisterna utnyttjade?Efter krigets slut blev Dahlerus en centralfigur vid Nürnbergprocesserna. Hans nära relation till Göring och hans medlingsförsök gjorde honom till ett intressant vittne. Under rättegången vittnade han om Görings roll i förspelet till kriget och de misslyckade fredsförsöken. Han hävdade att Göring vid flera tillfällen uttryckt en vilja att undvika en total konfrontation med Storbritannien, men att Hitler och den nazistiska ideologin gjorde detta omöjligt.Bildtext: Birger Dahlerus, den svenske affärsmannen som försökte medla mellan Nazityskland och Storbritannien inför och efter krigsutbrottet den 1 september 1939, blev en kontroversiell person. Sommaren 1939, deltog Dahlerius i Kraft Durch Freude-festivalen i Hamburg den 23 juli 1939 (inringad på hedersläktaren under ett tal av Hermann Göring).

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle It focuses specifically on the power struggles going on within the Third Reich of the alternate history in the 1960s, as the current chancellor and Führer Martin Bormann dies. The main Nazi leaders who are in the running for becoming the next chancellor and head of the Nazi party are Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, Baldur von Schirach, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart. We look at the assessments of each of these potential leaders, and also at the tendencies of the Nazi regime to promote "internecine conflict".

Il y a 80 ans, la Deuxième guerre mondiale n'était pas tout à fait terminée, mais le nazisme en tant que régime d'Etat, lui, disparaissait et serait bientôt jugé par le tribunal de Nuremberg. Le nazisme on en parle beaucoup et souvent parce qu'il a tué dans des proportions inédites, guidé par un racisme destructeur. Mais comment s'est-il construit ? Comment le nazisme s'empare d'abord de la société allemande avant de toucher l'Europe ? Trois historiens spécialistes de la question, Johann Chapoutot, Christian Ingrao et Nicolas Patin, ont signé en 2024 un livre collectif, Le Monde nazi, aux éditions Tallandier. Ils nous racontent en cinq épisodes ce que l'on en sait aujourd'hui. Depuis son apparition, écrire l'histoire du nazisme est un enjeu qui anime historiennes et historiens. A commencer par les raisons de son succès : le coût de la défaite allemande lors de la Première guerre mondiale, la crise économique des années 1930 ou encore le charisme d'Hitler. La recherche avance et les facteurs d'explication sont multiples. Le nazisme relit l'histoire, s'empare des sciences et élabore un nouvel ordre social. Au procès de Nuremberg, ils sont 24 dignitaires nazis sur le banc des accusés, parmi lesquels : Hermann Göring, Ernst Kaltenbrunner ou encore Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler est mort dans son bunker quelques mois plus tôt, le 30 avril 1945. Pourtant, peut-on attribuer à un si petit groupe de personnes la construction et la mise en œuvre de la pensée nazie ? Avec Johann Chapoutot, historien et spécialiste de la construction intellectuelle du nazisme, co-auteur avec Nicolas Patin et Christian Ingrao de l'ouvrage Le monde nazi paru en 2024 aux éditions Tallandier.

This Day in Legal History: Nazi War Criminals HangedOn October 16, 1946, ten high-ranking Nazi war criminals were executed by hanging after being convicted by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. This landmark trial held key figures of Adolf Hitler's regime accountable for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide committed during World War II. Among those executed was Joachim von Ribbentrop, the former German Foreign Minister, who had played a significant role in Nazi diplomacy, including the negotiation of the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. Others included Wilhelm Keitel, head of the German Armed Forces, and Alfred Jodl, a top military strategist.The Nuremberg trials were a historic moment in international law, establishing the precedent that individuals—even heads of state and military leaders—could be held criminally responsible for war crimes. The tribunal addressed the atrocities of the Holocaust, the invasion of neighboring countries, and the brutal treatment of civilians and prisoners of war. The executions followed months of legal proceedings and were seen as a step toward justice for millions of victims. Two of the condemned, Hermann Göring and Martin Bormann, avoided the gallows—Göring by committing suicide the night before the executions, and Bormann being sentenced in absentia, as he was never captured. These trials helped shape modern principles of international law, including the concepts of crimes against humanity and the rule of law in war. Meta Platforms Inc. must face claims by 34 state attorneys general accusing the company of contributing to a youth mental health crisis by getting children hooked on Facebook and Instagram. A federal judge in California ruled that some claims in the lawsuit could proceed, while others were dismissed under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields internet companies from liability over user-generated content. The states allege Meta's platforms cause mental health issues, like depression, in young users and that the company unlawfully collected data from children under 13. The lawsuit is part of a broader legal push against social media companies like TikTok, YouTube, and Snap, all of which are accused of profiting from the addiction of young users. Meta's spokesperson defended the company's actions, pointing to tools for parental controls and recent changes to Instagram's teen accounts. However, the judge noted that Meta's alleged “public campaign of deception” about the dangers of social media addiction could violate state and federal laws. The ruling also allows claims challenging features like “appearance-altering filters” but limits challenges to infinite scroll and likes. The decision comes alongside similar lawsuits by public school districts alleging social media companies create a public nuisance.Meta Can't Escape States' Claims It Hooked Kids on Platforms (4)The US Supreme Court declined to revive a challenge by Uber and Postmates to California's employment classification law, AB 5, leaving in place a Ninth Circuit ruling. AB 5 requires most workers to be classified as employees, giving them broader protections and benefits compared to independent contractors. Although Uber and other app-based companies are exempt from AB 5 under Proposition 22, which voters approved in 2020, they faced penalties for alleged violations before Prop 22 took effect.Uber and Postmates argued that AB 5 unfairly targeted their industries, claiming the law violated their equal protection rights by exempting other sectors. However, the Ninth Circuit ruled that lawmakers had rational reasons for distinguishing between industries, suggesting that ride-hailing companies were perceived as larger contributors to worker misclassification. The companies petitioned the Supreme Court, but the justices allowed the lower court's decision to stand, effectively ending their constitutional challenge to the law.Supreme Court Stymies Uber's Challenge to California Labor LawCourts in key battleground states are implementing procedures to expedite election-related lawsuits ahead of the November 2024 election to avoid delays in finalizing results. Arizona's Supreme Court recently ordered trial courts to prioritize election disputes, ensuring any challenges, such as those concerning recounts or presidential electors, are resolved quickly. This comes as both Republicans and Democrats have filed numerous lawsuits ahead of the election, and experts predict more legal battles on Election Day over vote counting and certification.Similar measures have been adopted in other battleground states, including Pennsylvania, which shortened the timeframe for appeals to three days, and Michigan, which introduced protocols for handling emergency election-related rulings. These actions are seen as a proactive response to the legal chaos of the 2020 election, when former President Donald Trump and his allies unsuccessfully challenged results with claims of widespread voter fraud. Courts are also preparing for potential security risks, with warnings of increased threats to judges during periods of national tension. Legal experts praise these steps as a way to ensure smooth and timely election litigation.Courts in US battleground states move to swiftly decide election cases | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week discusses how the IRS can solve the issue of stolen tax-refund checks, increasingly a major issue, by embracing technology. Despite the availability of direct deposit, many taxpayers still rely on paper checks, which are vulnerable to theft. I argue that the IRS should offer secure digital refund cards, similar to the electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards used in welfare programs, for taxpayers without bank accounts. These cards can be mailed securely, with separate deliveries for the card and its PIN, reducing theft risks.For those who prefer physical checks, I suggest allowing taxpayers to pick them up at secure locations like post offices, where the checks could be activated upon identity verification. This method would work like a software kill switch for smartphones, rendering checks useless if stolen before activation. Additionally, an optional mobile app could provide tracking, security, and refund management features for tech-savvy taxpayers.These solutions would enhance refund security while ensuring flexibility and accessibility. The IRS should also collaborate with local organizations to help taxpayers navigate these new systems, ensuring no one is left behind in the transition to a more secure refund process.Secure Digital Tax Refund System Can Solve Stolen Check Problem This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Nazi Leaders Convicted at NurembergOn September 30, 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its final verdicts, marking a pivotal moment in legal history. The tribunal, established by the Allied powers after World War II, tried 24 high-ranking Nazi officials for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Of those tried, 22 were found guilty. These included prominent Nazi figures such as Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. The Nuremberg Trials were the first of their kind to hold government officials individually accountable for atrocities committed under state authority, laying the groundwork for modern international criminal law.The court sentenced 12 of the defendants to death by hanging, while others received long prison sentences. Three were acquitted. These proceedings also set legal precedents, defining acts like genocide and war crimes more clearly in the context of international law. Nuremberg solidified the principle that following orders is not a defense for committing atrocities, a key doctrine in future human rights cases. The trials emphasized accountability, no matter how high the official's rank, and underscored the need for justice following war and genocide.Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Republicans have launched a wide-ranging legal campaign to challenge voting processes, with particular focus on states like Arizona, where the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is extremely tight. A lawsuit by the America First Legal Foundation, founded by Trump advisor Stephen Miller, seeks to empower courts to nullify election results due to procedural errors by local officials and order new rounds of voting. This case, which legal experts view as a long shot, reflects a broader Republican strategy to sow doubts about the election's legitimacy before votes are cast. The Republican National Committee is involved in over 120 lawsuits across 26 states, aiming to impose stricter voting rules, which they argue will restore faith in election integrity.Republicans, still asserting widespread fraud in the 2020 election despite court rejections, are pursuing these challenges earlier than in 2020, attempting to preemptively influence election outcomes. Legal experts warn that these lawsuits could cause chaos and confusion, potentially opening doors for political intervention in election results. Democrats argue the efforts are designed to undermine trust in the election system in case of Republican losses, while both sides are gearing up for further legal battles over voting restrictions and access.Republicans lay legal groundwork for election challenges | ReutersEpic Games has accused Google and Samsung of conspiring to limit competition in the app market, filing a lawsuit in U.S. federal court. The suit centers around Samsung's Auto Blocker, a mobile security feature that Epic claims discourages users from downloading apps outside of Google's Play Store and Samsung's Galaxy Store. Epic argues this reduces consumer choice and violates U.S. antitrust laws by making it harder for users to access potentially cheaper apps from rival sources. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said Google falsely positions itself as protecting users by blocking apps from “unknown sources,” despite previously distributing "Fortnite" itself.Samsung, which introduced Auto Blocker in late 2023 as a security measure, denies the allegations and claims the feature is designed for user safety. The company stated that users can disable Auto Blocker if desired. Epic believes the feature undermines a U.S. court ruling in December 2023, which was expected to increase app availability from third-party sources. Epic plans to raise these concerns with EU regulators, citing Google's long-standing scrutiny over anticompetitive practices. This follows Epic's earlier legal battles with Google and Apple over high app store commissions, which led to "Fortnite" being temporarily banned from both platforms.Epic Games accuses Samsung, Google of scheme to block app rivals | ReutersJudge Colm F. Connolly recently criticized lawyers in a patent-funding investigation, suggesting they were not truly representing their client, Lori LaPray, a Texas paralegal who owns Backertop Licensing LLC. LaPray owes a $53,000 contempt fine for failing to appear in court, linked to Connolly's probe into patent-monetization firm IP Edge LLC. The judge maintained the fine but implied LaPray was a pawn in a larger scheme orchestrated by IP Edge and advised her to seek independent legal counsel. Connolly's actions are rare, with legal experts noting that questioning an attorney's loyalty to a client in open court could lead to wider scrutiny of their conduct. The investigation focuses on whether IP Edge and related entities, like Mavexar LLC, have violated court disclosure requirements designed to ensure transparency about who benefits from patent litigation. Connolly has already sanctioned multiple attorneys involved in IP Edge cases and warned that reducing LaPray's fine would signal tolerance for deception. The judge has referred several cases to the Justice Department, reflecting his broader effort to address misconduct in patent litigation, which critics say often obscures the real parties behind lawsuits. Connolly's approach contrasts with other judges who may not prioritize uncovering the true interests in litigation, despite concerns over transparency.Judge's Rare Rebuke of Lawyers Shakes Up Patent-Funding Probe This is a public episode.

The Legend of Josef Mencik: The Man Who Defied Nazis with a Spear Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled in Czechoslovakia, there lived a man named Josef Mencik. Now, Josef wasn't just any ordinary man. He was a knight. Not the metaphorical, "he's a knight in shining armor" type, but a bona fide, spear-wielding, armor-clad knight—straight out of the Middle Ages, just plopped into the 20th century. He had the whole ensemble: chainmail, a plumed helmet, and a trusty steed. If there was ever a time-traveling knight, Josef was it. So, let's set the scene. It's 1938. The Nazis are rolling into Czechoslovakia like they own the place, with their tanks, machine guns, and an attitude that said, "We're here to conquer, and we brought snacks." They were the epitome of modern military might, a steamroller flattening anything in its path. But in one tiny village, they encountered a speed bump named Josef Mencik. Josef, ever the chivalrous knight, decided that his village needed defending. He wasn't going to let some goose-stepping bullies march in without a fight. So, he donned his armor, mounted his horse, grabbed his spear, and prepared for battle. As the Nazi soldiers approached, they were met with the sight of Josef, resplendent in his medieval getup, standing defiantly in the middle of the road. The soldiers, expecting maybe some light resistance or a few angry villagers, instead found themselves face-to-face with what looked like a Monty Python sketch. The commander, trying to maintain some semblance of composure, shouted, "What do you think you're doing, old man?" Josef, with all the dignity of a knight errant, responded, "I am defending my village from invaders!" The soldiers burst into laughter. They laughed so hard, some of them had to sit down to catch their breath. Here was a man, in full knightly regalia, armed with a spear, ready to take on the Third Reich. It was the most ridiculous thing they'd seen all year—and remember, these were people who'd seen Hermann Göring's wardrobe. But Josef was not deterred. "Laugh if you must," he declared, "but I will not let you pass!" Now, let's be clear. This was not the climax of some Hollywood blockbuster where the hero miraculously triumphs against impossible odds. Josef did not single-handedly defeat the Nazi army with his spear. The Nazis, still chuckling, gently disarmed him and led him away, probably pondering the sheer absurdity of it all. They took over the village, as they had many others, but Josef's spirit remained unbroken. In a time of great fear and oppression, Josef Mencik's stand was a beacon of courage, a reminder that sometimes, defiance doesn't need to be realistic—it just needs to be memorable. His act of bravery (or insanity, depending on how you look at it) was immortalized in the annals of history, a quirky footnote in the grim pages of World War II. So here's to Josef Mencik, the knight who took on the Nazis with a spear and a sense of humor. His story is a testament to the power of the human spirit—and to the fact that, sometimes, laughter is the best weapon of all.

In the 1930s and 1940s, a Dutch painter named Han van Meegeren pulled off one of the most audacious art frauds in history. With a combination of ingenious techniques and an uncanny ability to mimic the style of the 17th-century master Johannes Vermeer, van Meegeren forged a series of "newly discovered" Vermeer paintings that fooled the art world's top experts. Van Meegeren employed a wide range of deceptive methods to create forgeries so convincing that they commanded record-breaking prices from prestigious museums and collectors, including the notorious Nazi leader Hermann Göring. In this episode, discover story of van Meegeren's forged Vermeers, exploring the meticulous methods he used to craft his deceptions, the psychological allure that made experts so susceptible to his cons, and the ironic twist that saw him touted as a patriot for duping the Nazis out of millions. We'll also examine the lasting impact of van Meegeren's forgeries on the art world, exposing vulnerabilities in authentication processes and raising profound questions about the nature of artistic genius, deception, and the enduring power of a masterful forgery.

History is woven from different narratives, perspectives, and interpretations, and there is a saying that "History is written by victors." Perhaps more poignantly, Hermann Göring, Churchill's enemy in World War II, is recorded as saying, "The victor will always be the judge, and the vanquished the accused" at the Nuremberg trials. From the Western perspective, China has never been the victor, so our history is the only one we prescribe. Today, as the historically defeated, colonized, and once unequally divided China rises in power and influence, most Westerners fail to contextualize their perspective of history and its collective psychological effect.UPCOMING BOOKStrategic Pragmatism for De-Risking Post-COVID China: Circumnavigating Cultural and Psychological Landmines Inside the Chinese Arena is a timely and indispensable guide for Westerners seeking to understand how to collaborate with Chinese stakeholders in the post-pandemic era. Drawing upon an overview of China's historical relationship with the West and how perceptions and misperceptions evolve, this book helps readers develop a winning approach to managing the interpersonal relationships they will need to succeed—Guanxi.

Kristine Kochanski is trying to get back to her own dimension, as she is having a hard time adjusting to life on a "Boys ship", and finds a possible link-way back but only has hours to get there. Meanwhile, Kryten is still jealous of the relationship that she could potentially have with Lister, but he is angrier at the effect that her presence is having on his running of the ship: from the massive workload of extra laundry, which he cannot fathom, to a continuing issue with salad cream. Whilst venting at him over the issue, Lister questions his unfamiliarity with women's laundry given his experience with the female crew on the Nova 5, but Kryten explains that when he was emptying his cache files to create memory, he discarded his lingerie database, as the only reason he could think for keeping it at the time was in case Lister "wanted to attend a fancy dress party as Hermann Göring". In an effort to get her to the link faster, Lister recklessly navigates a course through the tail of a Comet. But when thruster systems begin to fail, Starbug is damaged, meaning the linkway is out of reach. Cat identifies the reason the thrusters did not work is because Starbug is too heavy, so he and Lister decide to clear out a lot of Rimmer's junk that was left behind. But progress is halted when Lister refuses to throw any of it, saying that he is beginning to miss Rimmer and reflects on some of the fun times that he and Rimmer spent together since Lister was released from stasis, namely pranks made at Rimmer's expense. When he has a dream that Rimmer returns and he and Rimmer kiss, Kryten tries some psychology to get to the bottom of Lister's problem. However, Kochanski has a little talk with Lister and (relatively effortlessly) makes him realise why he misses Rimmer, much to Kryten's disgust. A few days later during Games Night, Kochanski is made to feel more unwelcome when her idea of games are far less crude than the ones the boys play, which include "Match the Body Part to the Crew Member". Kryten, having to be one step better than Kochanski, reveals that he has created "The Rimmer Experience", a virtual reality rollercoaster ride of ship life, which he based on information taken from Rimmer's diaries and logs. The ride depicts Rimmer thinking of himself as a "hero" and "remarkable", giving Cat fashion tips (which Cat declares would make him "no better looking than a woodwork teacher"), and believing that Lister has called for Rimmer to save him before Lister wets himself. The ride culminates with a song and dance by animated Rimmer puppets. As the ride ends, Lister declares that he never wants to hear from "that scum-sucking, lying, weasel-minded smeghead" ever again. A self-satisfied Kryten then declares, "Sigmund Freud, eat your heart out!"

Finding a collection of 10,000 bottles of liquor, wine and champagne in a cellar at Hermann Göring's house, Winters allows the company to celebrate before they travel to Austria to become an occupying force. It is then announced that the division will be redeployed to the Pacific Theater, but those with enough points will get to go home. Winters applies for a transfer to the Pacific, but the officer in charge tells him his men have earned the right to keep him around. Despite the peace and the relative ease of life in Salzburg, men continue to be injured and die. Together with the rest of the battalion, Easy oversees the surrender of 25,000 German troops in Zell am See. Over a company baseball game, Winters narrates the fates of some of the men playing in it. He interrupts the game to announce the surrender of the Empire of Japan, which ends the war, and then narrates Nixon's fate and finally his own.

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we spotlight two Scholastic authors who depict everyday acts of heroism in their latest novels about the Holocaust. First, Neal Shusterman talks about Courage to Dream: Tales of Hope in the Holocaust, his new graphic novel for young readers. The book is beautifully illustrated by Andrés Vera Martínez. Then, Sharon Cameron discusses Artifice, her latest work of historical fiction for middle graders. “I hope [young readers] take away a sense of hope in the face of despair,” Neal says. “Even in these dark times, there were stories of people who did remarkable things, who put themselves at risk to help save others.” Neal is the New York Times bestselling author of more than 30 award-winning books for children, teens, and adults, including the Skinjacker trilogy, the Unwind dystology, and Challenger Deep, which won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. Neal was recently honored by the ALA with the Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement in writing for young adults. Sharon is the author of the international bestseller and Reese's Book Club pick, The Light in Hidden Places, and the acclaimed thriller, Bluebird. Her debut novel, The Dark Unwinding, was awarded the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' Sue Alexander Award for Most Promising New Work and the SCBWI Crystal Kite Award, among other honors. → Resources Storyman: Check out Neal Shusterman's author bio.

They might not want to delve into such a difficult subject. But here was a way of bringing in readers who might not normally read this kind of story and then get them interested in it and wanting to know what really happened.” “I hope [young readers] take away a sense of hope in the face of despair. Even in these dark times, there were stories of people who did remarkable things, who put themselves at risk to help save others.” “This is a book about history. I didn't want to talk about what was going on today. But since the October 7 attacks, there has been a 400% rise in antisemitic acts in the United States.” Sharon Cameron, author, Artifice “Writing is a second career for me. I was a classical pianist for a very long time, about 20 years, and I thought that's what I would do forever. But one fateful day, with a 45-minute session at my computer, I fell head over heels in love with creating story and the written word.” “Artifice tells the story of Isa DeSmit, a girl who has grown up in the glittering bohemian world of her parents' art gallery in Amsterdam. But this is a world that has been utterly destroyed by the Nazi occupation. The art has been confiscated because it is considered degenerate, and the artists are gone. Friends and family are gone because they're Jewish or communist or gay. So Isa decides to create her own revenge. She decides to learn the art of a master forger so that she can sell a forged painting to Hitler. She'll take the money from this forged painting and use it to fund a baby smuggling ring, a wing of the Dutch resistance that is smuggling the last Jewish babies and toddlers out of the city.” “The novel is based on two true stories—of Johan van Hulst, who was an absolutely amazing man who rescued Jewish children during the war, and Han van Meegeren, one of the great art forgers of the 20th century who sold a forged Vermeer to Hermann Göring. The painting hung over Göring's desk as the jewel of his art collection. Van Meegeren made money hand over fist, and he lived it up during the war while the rest of the country starved. The juxtaposition between these two men [is what] really interested me and made me want to write this book.” → Special Thanks Producer: Maxine Osa Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Yolanda Renee King on the Legacy of Her Grandparents Kelly Yang Has the Scoop on Top Story

Werner Beumelburg ist alles andere als ein unproblematischer Autor. Nationalist und Anti-Demokrat, stand er in harter Opposition zur Weimarer Republik und wurde, wenig überraschend, ab 1933 zu einem gefeierten Schriftsteller im Nationalsozialismus und Panegyriker Hitlers – den er persönlich zuvor lange noch kritisch betrachtet hatte. Ab 1942 führte er als Luftwaffenoffizier das Kriegstagebuch von Hermann Göring; ob er in den letzten Kriegsjahren tatsächlich etwas auf Distanz zum NS-Regime gegangen ist, wie eine Zeitlang geglaubt, ist höchst umstritten. Den späteren Werdegang Beumelburgs erahnt man in seinem Bericht über eine Autofahrt von Berlin nach Frankfurt aus der Deutschen Allgemeinen Zeitung vom 10. Januar 1924 allenfalls in der gelegentlich militärischen Metaphorik, mit der er Menschen wie Tiere hier marschieren lässt.

On this day in legal history in 1946 the Nuremberg executions were carried out, following the trials of ten high level officials of the Third Reich.On October 16, 1946, a somber chapter in the aftermath of World War II closed with the Nuremberg executions. Ten prominent members of the Nazi regime were hanged, marking the end of the historic Nuremberg trials that sought justice for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The executed men included Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and Julius Streicher. Hermann Göring, another top Nazi official scheduled to be executed, evaded the noose by committing suicide the night before.These executions took place in the gymnasium of Nuremberg Prison and were carried out by the United States Army. Master Sergeant John C. Woods and his assistant, military policeman Joseph Malta, were the executioners. They used the standard drop method instead of the long drop, which led to considerable controversy as some of the men did not die quickly from a broken neck, but slowly strangled to death. Reports indicated that some hangings took from 14 to 28 minutes, leading to claims of botched executions, which the Army later denied.The order of the executions began at 1:11 a.m. with von Ribbentrop and spanned just about two hours. The condemned men were allowed final statements, many of which expressed a mix of nationalistic sentiments, pleas for peace, and even denial of guilt. For instance, Ribbentrop's final words were a wish for understanding between East and West, and for peace in the world. On the other hand, Fritz Sauckel claimed his innocence and asked God to make Germany great again.Kingsbury Smith of the International News Service provided an eyewitness account, complete with photographs, that later appeared in newspapers. The initial belief was that the bodies were taken to Dachau for cremation. However, they were actually incinerated in a crematorium in Munich, and the ashes were scattered over the river Isar.The Nuremberg executions and the trials that preceded them remain landmarks in the evolution of international law and human rights. While they meted out justice to some of the perpetrators of the Holocaust and other wartime atrocities, they also ignited debates on judicial ethics and the very nature of evil. Thus, October 16 serves not just as a grim remembrance of the punishment meted out to some of history's worst criminals, but also as a milestone in the ongoing global dialogue about justice and accountability.Judge David R. Jones, a top U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of Texas, has resigned amid an ethics investigation. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a formal misconduct complaint against him for not disclosing his live-in relationship with Elizabeth Freeman, an attorney at Jackson Walker LLP, a prominent bankruptcy firm. In a statement, Jones said he had become a "distraction" to the court's work and resigned to refocus attention on the court. His departure may trigger further scrutiny of the high-profile Chapter 11 cases he had overseen, including those involving Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, Seadrill Ltd., and Chesapeake Energy.The misconduct complaint was lodged by Chief Judge Priscilla Richman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over federal courts in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Freeman and Jones have lived together since 2017, and Jones approved attorney fees for Jackson Walker and even recommended Freeman for professional positions without disclosing their relationship. Richman stated there was "probable cause to believe that Judge Jones has engaged in misconduct."Jackson Walker learned of the relationship allegation in March 2021 and instructed Freeman to stop working on cases overseen by Jones. The firm claims to have acted responsibly, including conducting a full inquiry and consulting external ethics counsel. Freeman left the firm in late 2022. Jones was sworn in as a bankruptcy judge in 2011 and was instrumental in making the Southern District of Texas a popular venue for large corporate Chapter 11 cases.Jones defended his actions by stating he and Freeman were not married and that he had no economic interest in her cases. However, Richman cited instances where Jones violated the code of conduct for U.S. judges, including not recusing himself where impartiality could be questioned. The Department of Justice's bankruptcy watchdog also questioned a bankruptcy plan mediated by Jones involving a party represented by Freeman.As of now, it is unclear whether the federal appeals court investigation into Jones will continue post-resignation. Legal experts suggest the case could have long-term ripple effects, raising questions about what other judges or firms may have known about the relationship. Calls for larger reforms in bankruptcy practice have also been ignited, emphasizing the need for expanded disclosures and better regulation.Texas Bankruptcy Judge Resigns After His Ethics Questioned (2)Top US bankruptcy judge resigns amid ethics inquiry | ReutersCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law a bill to regulate the state's cryptocurrency industry, which hosts nearly a quarter of all blockchain companies in North America. The legislation comes in the wake of issues like last year's collapse of the FTX exchange and aims to establish a basic regulatory framework. Newsom, who is a proponent of blockchain innovation, had previously vetoed similar legislation but suggests that the current measure may still require further refinement for clarity.The law, known as AB 39, is paired with another bill, SB 401, which targets cryptocurrency kiosks, ATM-like machines where cryptocurrencies can be bought or exchanged. Both bills were signed by the governor. AB 39 seeks to replicate New York's licensing system for cryptocurrency businesses, requiring various safety protocols, documentation, and fees. Businesses will also need to disclose if their services are insured and must maintain a customer phone line. Enforcement actions, including revoking licenses and imposing civil penalties of up to $20,000 per day, will be handled by the state Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.SB 401 imposes restrictions on crypto kiosks, capping transactions at $1,000 per day and limiting charges to a maximum of $5 or 15% of the transaction value. Documentation requirements have also been stipulated for greater accountability. Consumer advocates believe that these laws are essential for curbing fraud in the cryptocurrency sector. However, industry groups like the Crypto Council for Innovation, representing companies such as Coinbase and Gemini, have opposed both bills. They argue that the laws need more exemptions for smaller companies and more clarity around the licensing process, while also claiming that the kiosk restrictions could effectively put such businesses out of operation.Gov. Newsom Signs Crypto Licensing Bill in CaliforniaSen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted for allegedly acting as a foreign agent for Egypt, which has led to renewed scrutiny of his role in blocking reforms to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Menendez, a Democrat, had substantial influence over FARA-related legislation in his capacity as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position he stepped down from following a previous corruption indictment. He has been identified as a significant obstacle to legislative efforts to modernize FARA, a law dating back to 1938 that requires disclosure for those acting on behalf of foreign interests.Bipartisan calls for reforming FARA have been growing, especially as the Department of Justice has increased its investigations under the law since 2016. However, comprehensive updates have failed to gain traction. Menendez had publicly blocked an expedited vote on FARA reform in 2020 and also worked behind the scenes to thwart changes to the foreign lobbying disclosure law. His indictment has now raised questions about whether his actions were motivated by a desire to cover his own activities related to Egypt.Menendez explained his 2020 decision to block a FARA package by urging a more comprehensive look at the proposed changes. A spokesperson for Sen. Charles Grassley, who backed the FARA reform, stated that Menendez has not been cooperative on FARA reform since the 2020 defeat of the proposal. Menendez, who is not charged under FARA but under a different statute pertaining to public officials, has denied any wrongdoing.The indictment against Menendez has reinvigorated discussions about the need for FARA reform. Legal experts suggest that his case could be a catalyst for legislative action, much like past scandals have precipitated changes in lobbying laws. The removal of Menendez from his committee position could also remove a significant barrier to FARA reform.The Justice Department alleges that Menendez conspired with officials who should have been registered under FARA, raising the stakes for reforms to the law, which has multiple ambiguities and outdated language. If Menendez is proven to have acted on Egypt's behalf, it could make it difficult for Congress to ignore calls for reform, especially given that Menendez had been urging the DOJ to investigate a Republican politician under FARA.Menendez Indicted as Foreign Agent After Thwarting Related BillU.S. prosecutors are expected to request a judge to restrict former President Donald Trump's public comments about a federal case that accuses him of attempting to overturn his loss in the 2020 election. The hearing is planned by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and aims to consider Special Counsel Jack Smith's bid to prevent Trump from discussing potential witnesses and making disparaging remarks about prosecutors, court staff, and potential jurors. Smith has pointed to Trump's "inflammatory public statements," including social media attacks, arguing that they could undermine public confidence in the legal process and possibly sway jurors.Trump, who is not expected to attend the hearing, has strongly opposed this request, describing it as an attempt to limit his free speech while he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. The issue has become an early contentious point, approximately five months ahead of Trump's scheduled trial. The former president is charged with conspiracy to interfere in the vote counting and blocking the certification of the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.Trump has pleaded not guilty and accuses the prosecutors of interfering with his campaign. This is one of four criminal cases brought against him by federal and state prosecutors this year. Earlier this month, a New York judge issued a gag order against Trump in a civil fraud trial, prohibiting him from speaking about court staff.In a court filing, prosecutors cited comments Trump made on his Truth Social site about potential witnesses, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former top U.S. general Mark Milley. They argue that Trump's remarks are consistent with threatening behavior he exhibited after the 2020 election, which led to threats from his supporters against election officials.Trump's legal team has responded by saying there is no evidence to suggest that his social media posts have adversely affected the case. They accuse prosecutors of trying to impose broad restrictions on Trump's ability to criticize the government. Trump's lawyers argue that the proposed gag order is an attempt by the Biden administration to unlawfully silence its major political opponent.Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to provide the investigation a degree of independence from the political leadership of the U.S. Justice Department. Prosecutors have previously refuted allegations of political interference.Prosecutors aim to persuade judge to rein in Trump comments on election case | ReutersMicrosoft has successfully completed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, making franchises like Call of Duty officially part of Xbox. The deal makes Microsoft the second-largest gaming company in the world, surpassing Sony. It also greatly expands the catalog for Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service, with Activision Blizzard titles like Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, and World of Warcraft, while boosting Microsoft's presence in mobile gaming through titles like Candy Crush and Call of Duty Mobile. Microsoft has signed a 10-year agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation but may make other Activision Blizzard franchises exclusive to Xbox.The acquisition expands Microsoft's gaming business by roughly 10,000 employees. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick will remain with the company through the end of 2023, reporting to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. Microsoft has agreed to union neutrality, and Activision Blizzard employees will have the opportunity to recognize a union through a simple card check process starting 60 days from now.The deal was initially announced in January 2022 after Activision Blizzard faced a drop in stock price due to major game delays and reports of sexual harassment within the company. Contrary to previous expectations that Kotick would resign after the deal, he is set to stay on and stands to make nearly $400 million from the sale via his stock holdings.Legal battles almost derailed the merger, with the Federal Trade Commission attempting to block it, resulting in a week-long trial. However, Microsoft managed to clear the regulatory hurdles, including agreeing to sell cloud gaming rights for Activision Blizzard games in the UK to Ubisoft to satisfy the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.Going forward, Microsoft faces the challenge of integrating Activision Blizzard into its existing gaming operations, a process that is expected to take years. This acquisition significantly amplifies Microsoft's gaming business, coming after its 2020 purchase of Bethesda Softworks' parent company ZeniMax, and sets the stage for future industry consolidation.Microsoft Finally Closes Massive Activision Blizzard Deal, Making Call Of Duty Officially Part Of Xbox Now Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The experiences of the Irish in France during the war were overshadowed by the threat of internment or destitution. Up to 2,000 Irish people were stuck in occupied France after the defeat by Nazi Germany in June 1940. This population consisted largely of governesses and members of religious orders, but also the likes of Samuel Beckett, as well as a few individuals who managed to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up in internment camps (or worse). Isadore Ryan's book No Way Out: The Irish in Wartime France, 1939–1945 (Mercier Press, 2018) examines the engagement of the Irish in various forms of resistance. It also reveals that the attitude of some of the Irish towards the German occupiers was not always as clear-cut as politically correct discourse would like to suggest. There are fascinating revelations, most notably that Ireland's diplomatic representative in Paris sold quantities of wine to Hermann Göring; that Irish passports were given out very liberally (including to a convicted British rapist); that, in the early part of the war, some Irish ended up in internment camps in France and, through the slowness of the Irish authorities to intervene, were subsequently sent to concentration camps in Germany; and that a couple of Irish people faced criminal proceedings in France after the Liberation because of their wartime dealings with the Germans.

The experiences of the Irish in France during the war were overshadowed by the threat of internment or destitution. Up to 2,000 Irish people were stuck in occupied France after the defeat by Nazi Germany in June 1940. This population consisted largely of governesses and members of religious orders, but also the likes of Samuel Beckett, as well as a few individuals who managed to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up in internment camps (or worse).

Birds of Prey: Hitler's Luftwaffe, Ordinary Soldiers, and the Holocaust in Poland (Ibidem Press, 2021) is a microhistory of the Nazi occupation of Białowieźa Forest, Poland's national park. The narrative stretches from Göring's palatial lifestyle to the common soldier on the ground killing Jews, partisans, and civilians. Based entirely on previously unpublished sources, the book is the synthesis of six areas of research: Hitler's Luftwaffe, the hunt and environmental history, military geography, Colonialism and Nazi Lebensraum, the Holocaust, and the war in the East. By weaving together a narrative about Hermann Göring, his inner circle, and ordinary soldiers, the book reveals the Nazi ambition to draw together East Prussia, the Bialystok region, and Ukraine into a common eastern frontier of the Greater German state, revealing how the Luftwaffe, the German hunt, and the state forestry were institutional perpetrators of Lebensraum and genocide. Up until now the Luftwaffe had not been identified in specific acts of genocide or placed at large scale killings of Jews, civilians, and partisans. This gap in the historical record had been facilitated by the destruction of the Luftwaffe's records in 1945. Through a forensic and painstaking process of piecing together scraps of evidence over two decades, and utilizing Geographical Information System software, Philip W. Blood managed to decipher previously obscure reports and expose patterns of Nazi atrocities. AJ Woodhams hosts the "War Books" podcast. You can subscribe on Apple here and on Spofity here.
