Podcasts about The Holocaust

Between the 1860s and the early 1920s, more than two million Jews moved from Eastern Europe to the United States while smaller groups moved to other destinations, such as Western Europe, Palestine, and South Africa. During and after the First World War hundreds of thousands of Jews were permanently displaced across Eastern Europe. Migration restrictions that were imposed after 1914, especially in the United States, prevented most from reaching safe havens, and an unknown but substantial number of Jews perished during the Holocaust-as they had been displaced in Eastern Europe years before they were deported to ghettos and killing sites. Even after the Holocaust, tens of thousands of Jewish survivors were stranded in permanent transit for many years.Between Borders: The Great Jewish Migration from Eastern Europe tells and contextualizes the stories of these Jewish migrants and refugees before and after the First World War. It explains how immigration laws in countries such as the United States influenced migration routes around the world. Using memoirs, letters, and accounts by investigative journalists and Jewish aid workers, Tobias Brinkmann sheds light on the experiences of individual migrants, some of whom laid the foundation for migration and refugee studies as a field of scholarship, even coining terms such as "displaced person," and contributing to its legal definition at the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention. The stories of these migrants and refugees were used to propose a new future for the United States, reimagining it as a pluralistic society-one comprised of immigrants. Tobias Brinkmann is Malvin and Lea Bank Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and History at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of Sundays at Sinai: A Jewish Congregation in Chicago. Geraldine Gudefin is a French-born modern Jewish historian researching Jewish family life, legal pluralism, and the migration experiences of Jews in France and the United States. She is currently a research fellow at the Hebrew University's Avraham Harman Research Institute of Contemporary Jewry, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939. https://huji.academia.edu/GeraldineGudefin * Mentioned in the podcast: Mary Antin, From Plotzk to Boston (Boston: W. B.

Academic and political scientist Norman Finkelstein clashed with Israeli historian Benny Morris during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan's television program. Specifically, Morris kept interrupting and accusing Finkelstein of lying as he tried to share the results of a recent Penn State University poll showing that majorities of Israelis support genocide in Gaza and a substantial majority support ethnic cleansing. Guest host Keaton Weiss and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Finkelstein comparing Morris to a Holocaust denier. Plus segments on Donald Trump accusing Vladimir Putin of going “crazy” and Israeli troops firing on crowds of starving Gazans desperately crowding into designated relief zones.

What if the future of Judaism depended not on scholars or sages, but on the sippy cups and crayon-covered siddurim of our children?This powerful class dives into one of the most striking Midrashim about the giving of the Torah: when G-d demanded a guarantor, our ancestors suggested the elders, the prophets, the leaders and were rejected. Only when they offered the children did G-d say: Now we have a deal.But why children? Why not the tzaddikim, the scholars, the sages? And what does it mean that our children were the only "acceptable" security on the Torah?Together, we'll explore a deeply moving interpretation shared by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 5712 (1952), tracing how this Midrash contains the blueprint for Jewish continuity and our most urgent modern-day call to action.Through Torah, history, poetry, and tears, this class reminds us: if we want Judaism tomorrow, we must invest in our children today.KEY TAKEAWAYS:G-d Doesn't Want Retirement Religion:Torah isn't just for the nostalgic elderly or even for the rabbis, it's for every Jew, of every age and stage.Children Are the True Guarantors:When young hearts taste the sweetness of Torah, it becomes a lifelong imprint—and they end up teaching us.Jewish Education is National Security:Teachers are the true defenders of our people. Want to protect the Jewish future? Start by elevating Jewish schools.From Silence to Ruckus:After the Holocaust, there were no children left to make noise in shul.

Maurits de Bruijn is schrijver en redacteur. Hij werkt voor kunsttijdschrift 'Mister Motley' en schreef onder meer de roman ‘Man maakt stuk', die op de shortlist van de Libris Literatuur Prijs stond. Ook publiceerde hij het non-fictieboek ‘Ook mijn Holocaust'. Samen met Randy Vermeulen maakte hij de podcast ‘En niemand bleef onaangeraakt', over de aidscrisis, en hoe het stigma daarvan nog altijd doorwerkt in generaties queer personen. Afgelopen jaar was hij actief in het publieke debat, met opiniestukken en speeches over Israël en Palestina. Zo sprak hij op benefietavonden en tijdens de dodenherdenking bij het Homomonument in Amsterdam. Zijn nieuwe boek ‘Geweten' gaat hierover en is een verdiepend en veelkantig verhaal, over de genocide in het Midden-Oosten.   Lotje IJzermans gaat met Maurits de Bruijn in gesprek.

Israels krigføring i Gaza har fått mange til å snakke om folkemord. Men hvordan ble begrepet til? Og hvorfor klarer ikke verden å forhindre dem?

In this compelling episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with Itzhak Fisher, author of The Courage to Continue: A Family's Legacy of Resilience and Global Enterprise. Dive into a profound conversation about resilience across generations, beginning with Itzhak's family surviving the Holocaust—a trauma shrouded in silence yet shaping their lives in unexpected ways, from his mother's survival-driven habits to the unspoken strength passed to future generations. Discover Itzhak's entrepreneurial leap of faith, from a $400,000 gamble to co-founding a telecom giant valued at over $1 billion, and hear how a serendipitous meeting catapulted his career. Beyond business, explore his transformative work in Rwanda, where he channels lessons of perseverance into rebuilding a nation post-genocide as Chairman of the Rwanda Development Board. Packed with raw personal stories—including a whirlwind romance with his wife and the legacy-driving motivation behind his book—this episode is a testament to courage, legacy, and the unyielding power of hope. Tune in for an inspiring 30-minute journey through history, triumph, and the relentless pursuit of purpose.

“Hollywood is about as left and progressive a community as there is in this country. And unfortunately, part of the box you have to check in that very left, super progressive space is being anti-Israel and being pro-Palestine in an anti-Israel way,” says Jonah Platt.Platt is a jack of all trades in the entertainment industry—an actor, director, producer, and singer. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis led by terrorist group Hamas, he launched the podcast “Being Jewish.”He recently visited Auschwitz, the largest German death camp, alongside over a dozen Muslims. He went with the organization Sharaka, which builds on the work of the Abraham Accords and educates Middle Easterners and other Arabs and Muslims around the world about the Holocaust.“Some of these people came on this trip at great personal risk. If you're coming from Pakistan to hang out with Jews in the middle of this Israel-Gaza war, I mean, you could be in real, physical danger. Some people—they couldn't be in any photos and their identities had to be kept secret to protect them,” says Platt. “There were Jewish slaves [at Auschwitz], working out in that kind of rain in threadbare pajamas, starving to death, and having to do physical labor and be shot if they didn't keep up. And meanwhile, I'm freezing in the cold, but I get to go on a warm bus and get a hot meal after this.”In this episode, we discuss how to navigate being Jewish and Zionist in a society that is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.***Disclaimer: One of the producers for American Thought Leaders participated in the Sharaka program to Poland on an all-expenses paid trip.

In today's edition of SUFTT, we discuss the global attention on the nation of Israel, the only sovereign nation that seems to constantly be under the world's microscope. As tragic as the incidences of campus antisemitism have been, this hateful ideology shows no sign of letting up. Just this week, a warning was issued for Jews and Israelis to be careful in Canada, and to limit their outward expressions of their faith and culture. This is something that many of us never thought we would see only a generation removed from the Holocaust era. What does the Bible say about this? Should the church be surprised? No, and at the very least, show increasing support for Israel and our local Jewish communities of faith, asking God what we might do to come alongside them. Then we talk about that mischievous AI, which appears to have a mind of its own in bypassing its own shut-down commands. Next, we cover the upcoming pride month by learning that many corporations are backing off from supporting that agenda, largely due to push back from the more morally minded among us. Finally, we look at paganism in the public schools, being forced on all students who find themselves unable to object. Time to hold these schools systems accountable.

This spring marks the 25th anniversary of the landmark judgment in the infamous Irving v Lipstadt Holocaust denial case. David Irving sued American academic Deborah Lipstadt after she had described him as a Holocaust denier in her 1994 book, for his claims that Jews had not been systematically exterminated by the Nazis. Given the burden of proof in English libel law being on the defence, it was up to Lipstadt and her publisher Penguin to prove her claims were true that Irving had deliberately misrepresented evidence. In 2000, the Judge found in her favour.Deborah Lipstadt and the lawyers that represented her, Anthony Julius and James Libson, join Michael Gove for this special edition of Coffee House Shots to provide their reflections: on the trial, on what it's like to go to court over something that's widely accepted as settled historical truth, and to discuss why they think antisemitism flourishes in so many forms. They also talk about why the principles of the case are ever more important today as they were 25 years ago.Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textThere is power in preserving the rich, diverse history and culture of LGBTQIA+ people, across generations and backgrounds, promoting creativity, collaboration, and community among queer people, organizations, and allies. Especially in this particular cultural moment, when the lives and stories of our queer community are being targeted and silenced more than ever before, we need to lift up and celebrate the institutions whose mission it is to collect, preserve, and share those stories and histories widely and proudly. Special Guest: Robert KestenRobert Kesten, Human Rights Advocate, is Executive Director of Stonewall National Museum Archives & Library, one of the world's largest and most significant institutions of its kind, celebrating 50+ years of preserving history and culture in the face of prejudice and hate. Kesten's human rights advocacy has taken many forms, including writing and producing an award winning documentary on the Holocaust at Concentration Camps in Poland, working on the Ghanaian Constitution, coordinating and producing events leading to Ukrainian independence, producing events for the first AIDS day treatment center in the nation, pushing for the decriminalization of homosexuality in Ukraine, challenging book banning, LGBTQIA+ inclusion in schools and navigating anti-LGBTQ sentiments. Kesten also worked on the West Bank during the Intifada and was brought into Egypt and Tunisia during the Arab Spring to try and establish human rights cities. Links from the Show:https://stonewall-museum.org/ https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/stonewall-queer-history-exhibit-drexel-20240407.html https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/article296353869.html https://washingtonpress.com/author/robertkesten/https://sfbwmag.com/human-rights-leaders-honored-during-international-human-rights-symposium-at-florida-atlantic-university/ https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/your-voice/2023/04/14/lets-act-to-ensure-lgbtqia-are-safe-and-valued-in-florida-schools/70110517007/ Join Mama Dragons here: www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

The image was fake. The "bias" was real. The truth was different. "Bias is like a weed. It starts out small. But left to its own, it grows deep, spreads wide, and quietly chokes out better thoughts." — Lee Brower "We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are." — Anaïs Nin (our perspective is often colored by internal bias- unless we pause and we pivot.) "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." — Stephen Hawking "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung ( e.g. biPas™-- pausing to recognize and redirect unconscious bias.) "What is not named cannot be transformed." — Dr. Edith Eger, Holocaust survivor and psychologist. (Supports making 'Standby Moment' an asset, not just an anecdote.)

Wikipedia macht Wissen für alle Menschen zugänglich - kostenfrei und ohne Algorithmus. Doch die freie Enzyklopädie ist in Gefahr: Seit Monaten attackieren US-Konservative rund um Donald Trump die Plattform. Zu „links“ und zu „woke“ sei sie, schreibt etwa Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk auf X. Ein Trump-naher Staatsanwalt stellte zuletzt sogar die Gemeinnützigkeit der Stiftung Wikimedia infrage, die hinter der Plattform steht. Kommt er damit durch, könnte das zu ernsthaften finanziellen Schwierigkeiten führen. Gleichzeitig versuchen Rechtsextreme, Informationen und Diskurse auf Wikipedia zu manipulieren. Klar ist: Die Zeiten für Wikipedia und das freie Wissen in den USA dürften schwerer werden. Aber warum ist die freie Enzyklopädie den Rechten in den USA ein solcher Dorn im Auge? Ist sie überhaupt noch zu retten? Und was bedeutet all das für Wikipedia in Deutschland? Darüber sprechen wir mit Franziska Heine, Vorständin von Wikimedia Deutschland, Christoph Schattleitner, Host des Podcasts „Sockenpuppenzoo“, Tomas Rudl, Journalist bei netzpolitik.org, und Henrik Schönemann vom Projekt Safeguarding Research & Culture. Podcast-Tipp: Sockenpuppenzoo - Angriff auf Wikipedia Wikipedia ist die vielleicht wichtigste Webseite unserer Demokratie. Doch das System ist fragil. Rechtsextreme haben die Offenheit Wikipedias genutzt, um Informationen und Diskurse unerkannt zu manipulieren. Mutmaßlich schrieben sie mithilfe von hunderten von Fake Account Artikel zur deutschen Geschichte um, erfanden Fakten, relativierten den Holocaust - bis sich ihnen eine Handvoll Wikipedianer*innen mutig entgegenstellte. Ob die Täter wirklich gestoppt wurden, ist bis heute nicht klar. Die Investigativjournalisten Christoph Schattleitner und Daniel Laufer nehmen im Podcast Sockenpuppenzoo die Spur auf und fragen: Was sind das für Menschen, die hinter diesem Angriff stecken? Und können wir Wikipedia heute wirklich noch vertrauen? https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/sockenpuppenzoo-angriff-auf-wikipedia/13996869/

Today I interviewed Jan Borowicz about Perverse Memory and the Holocaust: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Polish Bystanders (Routledge, 2024). "The assumptions of my book rely on a simple thesis: indifference to violence is impossible and that the primal scene for Polish culture is the experience of Nazism. In Poland we have still a humanitarian crisis by our border.

Of course, there's no single answer to that question - there are countless factors and variables. But with that in mind, Bobby and I had a chat about one of our favourite books (and one of the most influential psychological books of the 20th century): ‘Man's Search for Meaning’ by Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Viktor Frankl. I really enjoyed this conversation.theselfhelpantidote.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For episode 194, Elia Ayoub is joined by Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History at the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Goldberg is among the most vocal Israeli historians of the Holocaust to have called Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. In 2024, he wrote a paper for the Journal of Genocide Research on the question of intent, which we explored in part 1. In this episode, the second part of their conversation, they get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide. In the last segment, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries. The full, uninterrupted episode is available for free on Patreon.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, if you're a Jew anywhere in the world today, especially in America, there is a target on your back and they are coming for you. When Elias Rodriguez murdered Christian Jews Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, it was an assassination intended to send a message. That message being the same message Adolf Hitler sent when he wrote ‘Mein Kampf' in 1924 and reiterated in 1933. Fun fact, George Soros and his son Alex finance many of these pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian supporting organizations. Today we show you how Jews are being hunted down all over the world, and why the coming Holocaust will be the worst in human history.

Seit wenigen Jahren gedenkt das EU-Parlament jeweils mit einer speziellen Erinnerungsfeier der Opfer des Holocaust. Dieses Jahr mit einem besonderen «Gast»: Dem Cello des Holocaust-Opfers Pàl Hermann. Überall in Europa nimmt der Antisemitismus stark zu. Die Terrorangriffe der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 und die massive militärische Reaktion Israels im Gazastreifen haben diesen Trend verstärkt. Drei-Viertel der europäischen Jüdinnen und Juden verbergen darum zumindest gelegentlich ihre jüdische Identität. Der stete Kampf gegen Antisemitismus sei untrennbar mit dem aktiven Erinnern an den Holocaust verbunden, unterstrich bereits die erste Frau an der Spitze des Europäischen Parlaments, die Französin Simone Veil, selbst eine Holocaust-Überlebende. Im Zentrum der Erinnerungsfeier an den Holocaust im EU-Parlament standen 80 Jahre nach der Befreiung der Deportierten im Vernichtungslager in Auschwitz für einmal nicht Zeitzeuginnen, sondern ein Instrument: Das Cello des Holocaust-Opfers Pàl Hermann. Dieses Instrument, untrennbar verbunden mit dem jungen jüdischen Musiker und Komponisten, steht für die Unbesiegbarkeit der Musik. Pàl Hermann wurde von der Hitler-Diktatur umgebracht. Das Cello wurde gerettet, weil der Cellist eine Notiz aus dem Güterwagen werfen konnte, in dem er deportiert wurde. In dieser aussergewöhnlichen Geschichte hat ein Cello den Holocaust überlebt - und wird zum klingenden Stolperstein gegen das Vergessen.

[00:30] Journalism Is Dead (27 minutes) Coauthors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are promoting their tell-all book, Original Sin, which documents the cover-up of former President Joe Biden's physical and mental decline. The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting the obvious gunshots that nearly killed President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, as “loud noises.” Meanwhile, former FBI Director James Comey has not been arrested for posting a picture calling for the president to be assassinated, and the media is portraying it as a big joke. [27:50] Redefining the Holocaust (28 minutes) The U.S.-Israel relationship is fracturing due to President Trump building relationships with Israel's terrorist enemies. The UN celebrated Holocaust Remembrance Day by redefining the Holocaust and removing all evidence of Nazi horrors in its exhibits.

We know that the essence of a person is his Neshama . The body is merely a casing, and death simply means that the person comes out of that casing and continues to live — just in a better place. There isn't even one split second when a person is not fully alive. The moment of death is only the moment when the casing is removed. Sometimes, we are privileged to see clearly — even in this world — the eternity of the Neshama. A rabbi once related that many years ago, he was hired by a shul to give a series of classes, for which he was promised $2,000 upon completion. He gave the shiurim, but the payment never arrived. The president of the shul told him that the check would come in the mail, but apparently, it slipped his mind — because it never did. About a year later, the rabbi happened to meet the shul's treasurer. They made small talk, and during the conversation, it came to light that the rabbi had never been paid. The treasurer was horrified and told the rabbi that he would personally take care of it and get reimbursed by the shul. He then took $1,000 out of his own pocket and handed it to the rabbi. Before parting, he said, "I personally guarantee you will get the second $1,000 as well." Just a few days later, the treasurer became very sick. He was hospitalized and, tragically, passed away within two weeks. Some time afterward, the rabbi of that same shul called the original rabbi to his office. As soon as he arrived, the rabbi handed him an envelope with $1,000. "This," he said, "is from the treasurer who recently passed away." Puzzled, the rabbi asked, "How did you know about the treasurer's promise? No one else knew — only he and I." The rabbi replied, "My wife had a dream. The treasurer appeared to her and told her he wasn't allowed into Gan Eden because of an unpaid promise. He asked that the money be given right away to fulfill his word." There was no way anyone could have known about that promise — except if the treasurer had truly come back from the next world to make things right. When a person passes away, his life does not end. He simply relocates — to a far better place. A man shared the following story that he heard firsthand from someone named Reuven. Reuven said that in Poland, during the Holocaust, a man lost his wife and was left raising their only son alone. At one point, they were separated, and the father was forced to flee for his life. He was almost certain that his three-year-old son had not survived. Four years later, one night, the man's wife appeared to him in a dream. She told him that their son was still alive and he must go find him. At first, he dismissed it as just a dream. But then it happened again. The father returned to his hometown and discovered that a righteous gentile had rescued several Jewish children during the war. He tracked this man down, entered his home — and there he saw his seven-year-old son. He recognized him immediately. ברוך ה׳ , he was able to raise his son in Torah and mitzvot, and eventually, the boy grew into a man who built a beautiful Torah family. Reuven concluded, "I know this story is true — because I was that seven-year-old boy. It was my mother who came to my father in a dream and told him I was still alive." The next world is very real. As it says in קהלת : וְיָשֹׁב הֶעָפָר עַל הָאָרֶץ כְּשֶׁהָיָה וְהָרוּחַ תָּשׁוּב אֶל הָאֱלֹקים אֲשֶׁר נְתָנָהּ — "And the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it." If a person fulfills his mission in this world, he will experience the greatest bliss — for all eternity

Today I interviewed Jan Borowicz about Perverse Memory and the Holocaust: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Polish Bystanders (Routledge, 2024). "The assumptions of my book rely on a simple thesis: indifference to violence is impossible and that the primal scene for Polish culture is the experience of Nazism. In Poland we have still a humanitarian crisis by our border. And there is a tiny minority of local and non-local activists who sacrifice themselves and who give help to the people that are dying in the forests, especially during the wintertime. And there are people who live nearby and live day to day-by-day helping the helping the people crossing even and crossing the border and they're harassed and victims of police brutality. And then I had a very strange thought that now I can understand what happened during the during the war and during the Holocaust where exactly this where exactly this happened. And people who deal with Holocaust history and Holocaust memory had the same association, same analogy, that this is somehow and gruesomely very, very similar.

Alice Rothchild's path to becoming an anti-Zionist Jew took many years, many hard conversations, and required a lot of critical self-reflection. But she is part of a growing, powerful chorus of Jewish voices around the world speaking out against Israel's Occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—and she is urging others to join that chorus. “The time is long overdue for liberal Zionists to find the courage to take a long hard look at their uncritical support for the actions of the Israeli state as it becomes increasingly indefensible and destabilizing, a pariah state that has lost its claim to be a so-called democracy (however flawed) that is endangering Jews in the country and abroad as well as Palestinians everywhere,” Rothchild writes in Common Dreams. In the latest installment of The Marc Steiner Show's ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” Marc speaks with Rothchild about her path to anti-Zionism, the endgame of Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, and the need to liberate Jewish identity from the Zionist state of Israel.Alice Rothchild is a physician, author, and filmmaker with an interest in human rights and social justice. She practiced ob-gyn for almost 40 years and served as Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Harvard Medical School. She is the author of numerous books, including: Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience; Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine; Old Enough to Know, a 2024 Arab American Book Award winner; and Inspired and Outraged: The Making of a Feminist Physician.

Today on the Israel Daily News Podcast, we welcome Shabbos Kestenbaum—a Harvard Divinity School graduate, Orthodox Jew, and rising national figure in the fight against antisemitism. As the lead plaintiff in a historic lawsuit against Harvard University, Shabbos is making waves by challenging one of the world's most prestigious institutions for its failure to protect Jewish and Israeli students.In this powerful conversation, he shares how Holocaust education shaped his identity, why he turned down a settlement offer from Harvard, and what this case means for the future of Jewish advocacy in America. We also delve into his views on the release of (American) hostages without Israeli involvement, and the broader question many are asking: Are American Jews being abandoned?

When Taffy Brodesser-Akner became a writer, Mr. Lindenblatt, the father of one of her oldest friends, began asking to tell his story of survival during the Holocaust in one of the magazines or newspapers she wrote for. He took pride in telling his story, in making sure he fulfilled what he felt was the obligation of all Holocaust survivors, which was to remind the world what had happened to the Jews.His daughter Ilana knew it was a long shot but felt obligated to pass on the request — it was her father, after all. Taffy declined because after a life hearing about the Holocaust, she said, she was “all Holocausted out.”But, years later, when she learned of Mr. Lindenblatt's imminent passing, Taffy asked herself what would become of stories like his if the generation of hers that was supposed to inherit them had taken the privilege that came with another generation's survival and decided not to listen?So here it is, an old Jewish story about the Holocaust and a man who somehow survived the pernicious, organized and intentional genocide of the Jews. But right behind it, just two generations later, is another story, one about the children and grandchildren who have been so malformed by the stories that are their lineage that some of them made just as eager work of running from it, only to find themselves, same as anything you run from, having to deal with it anyway.  Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
