According to tradition, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew evangelized the region of Armenia in the first century. In the year 301, it became the first nation to declare itself Christian. Through centuries of warfare and oppression, its Christian identity has endured as part of Armenian culture, despite repeated attempts by neighbors to stamp it out. In 1915, the Turkish Ottoman Empire killed an estimated 1.2 million people during what has become known as the Armenian Genocide. Under the pretext that they were insufficiently loyal to the empire, Ottoman authorities shot entire villages, forcibly converted families to Islam, and marched hundreds of thousands of women and children into the Syrian desert to die. The brutal campaign of extermination led to a significant diaspora of Armenians to other countries. Even after Armenia emerged from Soviet dominance and declared itself an independent republic at the end of the 20th century, peace has remained elusive. Armenia has faced decades of conflict over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, where some 100,000 Armenian Christians now live but which Muslim-majority Azerbaijan sees as its territory. In 2020, as the world was preoccupied with the global pandemic, Azerbaijan waged war against Armenia. Seven thousand lives were taken, and the region has remained in the shadow of a fragile ceasefire since. Today, most Armenians exist in a state of uncertainty. Given their control over the region, it may be that Azerbaijan is poised to commit a second Armenian genocide. According to University Network for Human Rights researcher Thomas Becker, Over the past decade, Azerbaijani officials have invoked language used in the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust, referring to Armenians as a “cancer tumor” and a “disease” to be “treated.” More recently, the country's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev has threatened to “drive [Armenians] away like dogs.” The situation seems dire with Russia, Armenia's ostensible security guarantor, bogged down in its own war against Ukraine, and with Iran, Armenia's southern neighbor eager to fill the security vacuum. However, an unexpected recent development is that a significant number of Armenia's diaspora population has been returning to their homeland. After a hundred years of exile and living in places like Russia, France, and the United States, an estimated 50,000 Armenians repatriated prior to 2020, with thousands more joining them every year since. For some, the motivation to return is economic. For others, it's about standing with fellow Armenians in the face of war. However, for many, the calling is about their faith. As the dean of Armenian Apostolic seminary put it, “We as a nation are called to witness to Jesus Christ in a very difficult region. … Our very existence is a testimony of Christianity.” Lara Setrakian, an Armenian American journalist, moved back with her family at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. In a recent podcast, she put it this way, I am doing what I'm called to do … and it is to be a helper like Mr. Rogers would say. It is a catastrophe. There are crises. But I want to be among the helpers. … We're not interested in not being Christian ... For Christians … this country is one big test of faith. And people I see are rising to the occasion. And they are finding strength, and they … have not ever given up. … They haven't given up the cross; they haven't given up their language, their love, their dance. They embody the resilience that we're all looking for. Another repatriated Armenian mused, “In America, I had a good life: a big house, a good car. But when I say, ‘good life,' I mean something else.” As so many in the West reel from a crisis of meaning, Armenian Christians have found joy in the face of severe hardship. In that way, we have much to learn from our Armenian brothers and sisters, even as we ask God to bless them, to strengthen their faith, and to bring peace to the nation they are rebuilding.

I had the privilege to interview 83 yr old Holocaust survivor Karmela Waldman. Born in 1939 in Yugoslavia, just a few short years later she found herself escaping with her mother from Nazi home invaders. Her mother realized they had to separate and Karmela found herself being hidden at a Catholic Convent/School. She held on to her Jewish heritage while learning all things Catholic. After Russian allies liberated Belgrade she eventually reunited with her mother. Hear her compelling story, how she stayed true to her Jewish heritage at such a young age, her family life today and some fun anecdotes too!

He is the youngest member of the Senate elected since 1980. The first millennial in fact. He's also the first Jewish member of the Senate from Georgia. In fact, the first Jewish Senator from the deep south since 1878. Senator Ossoff joins us now in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month. Senator, welcome to People of the Pod. Jon Ossoff: Manya, thank you so much for the invitation. It's an honor to be here. Manya Brachear Pashman: So, Israel just celebrated its 75th birthday. It's a young country, but it's twice as old as you. You are 36, I believe. How do you relate to that historic milestone, as someone who's Jewish, who's a father, as a Senator who knows Israel's strategic importance to the United States? How do you relate to Israel? Jon Ossoff: Well, I think I should begin with a reflection on how my family's story has influenced me and influenced how I think about US-Israel relations. I was sworn in to the Senate, and in my jacket pocket at that moment, had the ship's manifests, documenting the arrival of my great grandparents, Annie and Israel, at Ellis Island, from Eastern Europe, in 1911 and 1913. And they left Eastern Europe in the early 20th century, as so many European Jews did, fleeing antisemitism. And while many members of my family and ancestors managed to escape, as in so many Jewish families, there were many who did not. And of those who did not, to my knowledge, all but one perished in the Holocaust. And I remember as a very young child, spending time with my uncle Nate, I called him uncle Nate. He had escaped, and hidden in the forests around the camp and the worksite, until he was liberated. And I remember as a young child sitting with him and tracing with my finger, the numbers tattooed into his arm. And I think so many American Jews have experiences like that one, having grown up among Holocaust survivors. And growing up among survivors, and being keenly aware of the genocide of Jews, the attempt with industrial-scale brutality to extinguish the Jewish people forever, has a profound impact on all Jews, all Jews in the United States, all Jews around the world. And of course, it has a profound impact on how I view the State of Israel, recognizing that the State of Israel was established 75 years ago as Jews rebuilt in the ashes of the Holocaust, and sought to establish a secure homeland for the Jewish people. I am now, as many American Jews are, deeply concerned about Israel's future, deeply concerned about the trends and dynamics and risks in the broader Middle East. And as an American policymaker, of course, particularly focused on US national security interests and other interests in the region. So I have worked for the last couple of years, to build strong working relationships, on a foundation of trust with regional leaders in Israel, in neighboring and surrounding countries, and in the Palestinian Authority, so that I can play a constructive role advancing US interests, and working to ensure that Israel can survive as a democracy and a secure homeland for the Jewish people. And also that all people in this region can one day flourish in peace and security and freedom. Manya Brachear Pashman: Do you believe that your colleagues share that understanding of the importance of Israel, the importance of Israel to the Jewish people. And as a follow up to that, you know, we deal a lot with combating and fighting antisemitism. How much of today's antisemitism is kind of disguised as anti-Israel criticism, and has to do with a lack of understanding of the role of Israel? Jon Ossoff: Look, I think that these things can and sometimes do overlap. And I think we also have to be clear that in our free society, and as we as free citizens discuss the state of the world, we also have to avoid dismissing any critical views of Israeli policy as mere antisemitism, because there are many principled people who have a diversity of views about the Middle East region, who hold those views in good faith, not born of any kind of religious hatred. You know, as for my colleagues in the Senate, I do believe that there is a growing and strong awareness of the rising tide and threat of antisemitism at this moment here in the United States, and around the world. In Georgia, just recently, there have been multiple incidents of hateful antisemitic literature being littered in the yards and driveways of Jews in different communities across the state. We've seen, of course, a significant increase in hate crimes, violent threats, and acts of violence, targeting Jews. And I was speaking recently at a Yom Hashoah event at a cemetery in Atlanta. It's an annual event that I attend, the Israeli Consul General typically attends, and local Jewish community leaders. And I heard a baby crying during the ceremony. And when I made my remarks, and as a father, my wife, Alicia, and I have an 18 month old baby daughter at home. I shared with the crowd how to me and I think to all of us how profound it was to hear a baby crying at an event remembering the unfathomable loss of the Holocaust, because that baby's voice is proof that the effort to destroy the Jewish people failed, and that we survived and that we persist. But that Jewish child is also growing up at a time when antisemitism continues to grow as a threat to Jews in the United States and around the world, which requires us to be vigilant and determined, informed by our people's history. That threats to Jews have not been permanently defeated. As they have throughout history, they rise and rise again and we have to be ever vigilant. Manya Brachear Pashman: You have confronted antisemitism in the past, some very classic conspiracy theories. I'm curious how you confront that personally. And what government's role is in combating antisemitism? Jon Ossoff: There was the widely covered, widely condemned incident during my Senate campaign. When my opponent's campaign doctored an image of my face to lengthen my nose, portray me as the sort of classic caricature, antisemitic caricature. And look, of course, as a public figure, some of the hate and ill will and sometimes threats that come my way have within them or are motivated by hatred of Jews and antisemitism. You know, I think as a public figure Manya, I have had to build the armor, personally necessary to protect myself and my family, to weather threats and insults that come with public life and leadership in the public arena. But for those who have not chosen a life in the public eye, you know, the swastika spray painted on the garage door, the hateful pamphlet dropped in the driveway, the threatening anonymous voicemail. You know, it's more than just upsetting and disturbing. It represents a threat to a family's safety. It represents a threat to children, to life, to property, and it undermines and can destroy the trust that we have, that our communities are open and tolerant, and based upon love and acceptance of one another, regardless of our faith. So it's a deeply worrying and corrosive and threatening dynamic in our society right now. Manya Brachear Pashman: So, should Jewish families build a similar armor, similar to what you have developed as a public figure? Or does the government have a role in doing something to combat it? Jon Ossoff: Private citizens should not have to weather and endure and be subjected to hatred and harassment and bigotry. And there is a role for leaders in government. I work alongside my colleague, Senator Jackie Rosen of Nevada, on the bipartisan Joint Task Force on Antisemitism to develop solutions within Congress. But at this moment of increased hatred, and violence, and division along all kinds of lines in our society: religious, racial, ethnic, political, cultural, all of us, leaders and citizens, are called upon to promote and defend and strengthen the loving and trusting and tolerant bonds between neighbors and fellow citizens to make our society more resilient to the fringe, which promotes hatred, and to ensure that the United States lives up to its highest ideals as a place where, regardless of where one came from, or how one worships one can be free and safe and treated with dignity. Manya Brachear Pashman: In fact, you called for a federal task force, an inter-agency Task Force to address Antisemitism back in December. That task force has become a reality. And I'm curious if you feel like that task force should be working toward more of a civil society response or actual government agencies, policies to really curb the spread of antisemitism? Or maybe it's a combination of both. Jon Ossoff: Look, I think that there is clearly a role for leaders in government and elected officials to promote and strengthen policies and ideals that defend the public against hate crimes, against violence, against harassment. And this also has to be a broader effort shared by leaders in all fields, business leaders, faith leaders, civic leaders, community leaders, and every ordinary citizen. The reality is that despite how hateful and divided the public discourse can seem, and is, and despite the alarming and dangerous rise in antisemitism, and various forms of hatred, most people are deeply good. Most people are kind. Most people cherish the American ideals of equal justice, freedom of religion, and the basic idea that this is a place where people from all kinds of family backgrounds coexist and live together as Americans not on the basis of one religious creed or racial identity or national origin, but on the basis of commitment to our country's fundamental values. And I think we all have a role to play in defending and lifting up that vision of our society at a time when there is so much hate in the political and cultural and social discussion. Manya Brachear Pashman: You interned in high school for the late Congressman John Lewis of blessed memory, a longtime dear friend of AJC. What is the direction of the relationship between black and Jewish communities in America? Where are the points of tension, the points of promising engagement? Where do we go from here? Jon Ossoff: You know, sort of an extraordinary 24 hours in Georgia's history and US History: January 5, to January 6, of 2021. On January 5, the state of Georgia, and you know, our complex history, as both the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement and the heart of the Old Confederacy, elected to the US Senate, the 33 year old Jewish son of an immigrant, and a black pastor, who holds the same pulpit that Dr. King did at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The first black senator in Georgia's history, the first Jewish Senator in Georgia's history, the first Jew elected to the Senate from the deep south since 1878. And that is a powerful testament to what I was describing earlier that, you know, despite the level of hatred and division that we see in our public life, this country has come so far in terms of tolerance. But it wasn't 12 hours later, that the US Capitol was being ransacked by a hateful and violent mob. In some cases, sporting neo-Nazi and Confederate symbols, who tried to use violence, to prevent the peaceful transfer of power in our democracy, a core process in our constitutional system. And so while what happened on January 5 demonstrated how far we have come, what happened the next day demonstrated the reality of the very real and present threat to those values. I mentioned that I was sworn in with, in my jacket pocket, the ship's manifests documenting my great grandparents' arrivals at Ellis Island. 2 I was also sworn in on the Tanach that had belonged to Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, who had been the longtime rabbi at the temple, the Atlanta synagogue that I attended growing up, and where I was Bar Mitzvahed. And the temple in 1958 was bombed by the Klan in retaliation for Rabbi Rothschild's alliance with Dr. King and his denunciation of segregation. And I was sworn in on that Tanach because, of course of the special role that that synagogue had played in my upbringing, but also because of the values that it represented as a possession of Rabbi Rothschild's at the moment when Senator Warnock and I had been elected. And since Congressman Lewis had been a key mentor in my life, and I, so well recall that one of the first things he ever explained to me in great detail, when we sat down together, was the historic alliance between blacks and Jews in the civil rights movement, how he had marched alongside rabbis and Jews who had come to the south in the Freedom Summer to demand civil rights and voting rights. And, you know, that's a legacy of solidarity between two peoples who have had very different, but both long-term struggles against hatred, genocide. And I think it's a bond that needs to be nourished and strengthened. Manya Brachear Pashman: Do you see obstacles in the way of that? Jon Ossoff: Look in Georgia, the Jewish and black communities love one another, work closely together. And there is always room for growth. And so Manya in closing, I have to run in vote on the floor of the Senate in just a moment. I just want to, if I might, take this opportunity to reiterate what I said earlier, but at a moment like this, when there is hatred and violence, threatening and in the air, and on the ground, in reality. And when Jewish families and many American families of various minority backgrounds feel threatened by the rise in hate crimes, and religious, racial, ethnic, and cultural hatred, it's our shared obligation to make real a country that lives up to America's highest ideals. And I believe that we can, and we will, by pulling together and believing in that and working together to defend what's best about the United States. I really appreciate the opportunity to spend some time with you. And thank you for the work you do, getting information out there and connecting Jews across the country through this podcast. Manya Brachear Pashman: Wonderful. Thank you so much, Senator. Thank you so much for joining us. Jon Ossoff: Thank you, take care.

Meryl Frank is a highly respected diplomat and international leader on women's issues and concerns of the world-wide Jewish community. Her new book is quite personable and impactful. It's entitled “Unearthed: A Lost Actress, a Forbidden Book, and a Search for Life in the Shadow of the Holocaust.” It is a thrilling mystery woven into a beautifully constructed family memoir: Meryl Frank's journey to seek the truth about a beloved and revolutionary cousin, a celebrated actress in Vilna before World War II, and to answer the question of how the next generation should honor the memory of the Holocaust.
In the days following September 2, 1945, there were few labels more abhorrent than that of ‘Nazi.' As the events of the Holocaust and Adolf Hitler's genocide against Europe's Jewish community and other groups and minorities came to light, anyone associated with the Nazi's or anyone linked to their repulsive deeds were put on trial and held accountable for their actions. SS officers and Nazi officials scattered throughout Europe in a frantic race to escape prosecution. They assumed false identities and took refuge in the few countries that sympathized with their ideologies and whose extradition laws kept them safe. Subsequently, in the years after World War II, Nazi hunters like the famed Simon Wiesenthal would scour the ends of the earth trying to find these criminals and bring them to justice. For some 1,600 German, Nazi elite - scientists, engineers - however, one government in particular recruited them… welcomed them, embraced them after 1945. They didn't have to hide their entities. The resumes they built during WWII is what set them apart from their colleagues. This country and the project they were being chosen for… might surprise you. What lengths were countries willing to go to during the height of the Cold War, under the threat of the Nuclear Age, when they willingly signed… A Deal with the Devil.

Throughout life, we all face challenges and setbacks – some of which may seem devastating. However, one of the most important factors determining whether these challenges will “make or break” you is your attitude. While it can be difficult to stay positive at all times, there are several steps you can take on a daily basis to rebuild your attitude and approach life's challenges with clarity and strength. Boaz Rauchwerger, our guest in Episode 146 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, first learned about the importance of attitude from his mother. Despite tragically losing her parents and four of her siblings in the Holocaust, Boaz's mom managed to maintain a positive attitude throughout her life. Drawing inspiration from her lessons and from his own experiences, Boaz has had a successful career as a consultant, author, and keynote speaker, including 20 years as a speaker with Vistage Worldwide. In this week's episode, Boaz shares several insights about how to achieve happiness and success through building a positive attitude, including: The value of reading, and two classic books Boaz recommends that everyone read at least three times: “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill Several specific affirmations to repeat at the beginning and end of each day, such as “everything I touch prospers and succeeds” and “I make amazing things happen daily.” The concept of “goal cards” as a way to change habits and achieve your goals Techniques for handling negative emotions that may compromise your attitude and take you further from your goals To connect with Boaz, he invites listeners to call or text him at (619) 723-3007. He also offers a complimentary session for his consulting services, through which he helps organizations change employees' attitudes and thereby raise the culture of the whole company.

I grew up the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. My grandparents fled Europe and came to the United States with nothing, and their experiences understandably left them with concerns about money and scarcity. Some of this rubbed off on me, along with my own experiences growing up around people who had far more money than I did (not that I wanted for anything). And as a result, I ended up with my own set of issues around money. Today's episode is a bit of a departure for me, since I rarely focus on money, but that's what we're diving into today. Join me as I talk all about: Power leaks around money Conscious women with money are going to save this world Why I want more money... And what is YOUR secret desire for money?

It's been over 400 years and African Americans still have not received reparations for the brutal dehumanization and injustice that was inflicted on our ancestors during the era of slavery. When President Lincoln signed the Proclamation of Emancipation into law, slaves were promised 40 acres and a Mule, but they never received anything when they were set free. Instead, the slave master was compensated $300 for every slave they had to set free. The reason why is because without the labor of slaves, the land would suffer, and they would lose money. That era was the start of the wealth gap amongst whites and blacks.Just recently, Professor William Darity at Duke University conducted two studies. The first study Mr. Darity performed was to see how much each African American is owed for reparations. His review shows descendants of slaves are owed roughly $350,000. He also did another study to see how large the wealth gap is amongst whites and blacks. Study reveals that white Americans are leading the wealth gap by roughly $840,000.The government has paid out reparations to the Holocaust survivors, the Native Americans, and Japanese Americans just to name a few. Now, reparations were owed to these folks for what they had to endure; however, African Americans are the only race that hasn't received reparations for slavery.Now is the time that all descendants of slaves be compensated for the inhuman torture that was inflicted on our ancestors many centuries ago. The only way to make things right is to make a large cash payment for our suffrage and an apology acknowledging how blacks were treated.Welcome to the Season Five Finale Episode Twelve of Authentic Filters!

Jewish population growth has fluctuated over the millennia. Unique circumstances of Jewish history have impacted Jewish demographics in a variety of ways, often adversely affecting Jewish growth through the ages. This episode will attempt to explore some basic elements of Jewish demographics, fluctuations as well as salient features, and examine the numbers and their significance. The great Jewish demographic story of the Modern Era is the population explosion of Eastern European Jewry in the 19th century, with the tragic and sudden demographic contraction as a result of the Holocaust.

Wiedergutmachung - das ist ein großes Versprechen. Vor allem, wenn das ein Abkommen leisten soll, das nur sieben Jahre nach dem Ende des Holocaust zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und Israel geschlossen wird. Das Luxemburger Abkommen, auch Wiedergutmachungsabkommen genannt, wird am 10. September 1952 im Luxemburger Rathaus unterzeichnet. (BR 2012) Autorin: Ulrike Beck

Matt Crawford speaks with author Max Friedman about his book, Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir. Both of Friedman's parents lost their spouses and children in the Holocaust before finding each other. Those experiences shaped them in way that were irrevocable and damaging, but how can a child in that household grasp these intricacies? This book is about Max going back and researching his parent's stories to get a better grasp on what they survived and to understand them. Despite everything they went through, both managed to find their version of love and bring two children into this world. This is their story and I hope you will read it.
Leading social psychologist Jerry Burger joins Tim to talk about landmark experiments on human obedience conducted by Stanley Milgram, and how decades later Jerry did a similar study that only validated Milgram's earlier disturbing findings. Jerry describes his own research project in 2006 that re-affirmed some of the conclusions from a landmark obedience research project from 45 years earlier. Will people do what they're told even if it harms someone else? We find out. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Jerry_Burger_auphonic.mp3 Any student of history knows that during World War II, the Nazis exterminated roughly 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. They did it in a number of horrific ways. It all started with the creation of a system of concentration camps, staffed by obedient Nazi and German troops. The horrors that happened in those camps are well documented. In the post-war interrogations and trials of Nazi officers and other Germans involved in war crimes, one refrain kept coming up. “I was just following orders.” “I just did what I was told.” No one questioned. No one objected. Everyone obeyed. In 1961, an American psychologist at Yale named Stanley Milgram pondered a question. Could nations other than Germany conform to authority in the same way? Would Americans conform to authority in the same way, or would there be differences? So, he decided to conduct an experiment. He created a reason for test subjects to participate. The cover story was that this would be a learning project. He recruited 40 men between the ages of 20 and 50. Volunteer participants in the study were told that they would be paired up with another participant. They would be assigned to teach the other participant certain things, and then they would question the other participant. If that participant got an answer wrong, the volunteer teacher would deliver punishment in the form of electric shock. That's what these unsuspecting participants were told. What they didn't know was that they were the only ones in the study who didn't know what was going on. The person they were supposed to be teaching – the learner – was in on it. The volunteer teacher's fellow instructors were in on it. The only ones who didn't know that the electric shocks were fake was the person assigned to be the teacher, the person assigned to press the buttons to deliver those electric shocks. What Milgram wanted to find out was, how long would it be before the teacher in the study would stop and reject orders to punish his fellow participant. Jerry Burger is a psychologist and researcher who was intrigued by the Milgram experiment and would later conduct a similar one to compare his results with Milgram's.

In a special crossover episode, we rope Dan McCoy of The Flop House, his brother John McCoy of Sophomore Lit and their brother Rob McCoy for questions about the sort of things you would read in high school. We start off by finding out what the kids are getting at the Scholastic Book Fair, then blink in amazement at sequels to classic books that probably shouldn't have them. It all leads to the lightning round, where our players go outside their comfort zones and finally establish trivia dominance over their brothers!

It's time to process some trauma together, buckle up as we bring you therapy with Lez Hang Out. This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with comedian and actor Liz Glazer (@lizglazer) to discuss processing and sharing #grief through the lens of storytelling and comedy. Liz's debut comedy album, A Very Particular Experience, releases on May 12th and can be pre-ordered on iTunes now! Liz's album shares truths about grief (with punchlines!) and is a way to bring people together to commemorate the day that her wife gave birth to their stillborn daughter, Leo. Acknowledging her daughter's existence and the trauma her and her wife experienced through this album is not only cathartic, but important as a means to remember Leo and to spread awareness about the common nature of stillbirth. Queer people tend to be more open about discussing trauma, as the simple act of living as a queer person in a heteronormative society is a shared trauma experienced by us all. We will often unload our entire coming out journey on the first date as a means of forming connections. Liz shares that as a descendent of Holocaust survivors it is important to her that she be LOUD and not hide any parts of herself from the world. Her ancestors had no choice but to hide themselves and be extremely cautious with their true identities, and she feels she owes it to them to not waste any opportunity to speak her truth.

Holocaust education was brought about to battle antisemitism, but perhaps there's more that could be done. Dara Horn joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why focusing on the atrocities of WWII hasn't stopped growing antisemitism today – and to offer ways we need to expand education about Jewish life to combat it. Her article published in The Atlantic is called “Is Holocaust Education Making Anti-Semitism Worse?”
Joel and Karm, hosts of Surviving the Survivor podcast, join us for an interesting live interview. Karm, a Holocaust survivor and retired psychotherapist, and her son Joel, an Emmy-winning journalist, turn the tables on host Collier Landry, making him the subject of his own interview and sharing his experience of visiting his psychopathic father in prison. They also discuss the latest in the Lori Vallow-Daybell trial currently underway in Rexford, ID. A report reveals that Lori Vallow, a woman whose children were found dead on her husband's property in 2020, had searched for information about children's life insurance policies before they disappeared. Court documents indicate that Vallow's search history on Google suggests she had financial motives for their deaths. Currently, Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell are facing charges related to the children's deaths.

One of the best books we've read in 2023 is the story of Dame Stephanie 'Steve' Shirley, who started a business of women freelance programmers in a male-dominated world in the 1960s based in London.The bookends of this remarkable story include an escape from the Holocaust from her homeland in Austria to her new adopted country in England, thanks to Kindertransport.While there are many business insights in Steve's book, Let It Go, she pulls back the curtain to reveal the many ups and downs in her family life, including the love, care, and hardship of raising a son who was profoundly autistic.The other bookend describes Steve's goal of co-ownership with her staff, along with the gifting of many millions of dollars through philanthropic causes.Read the show notes - LINK
Welcome back for another episode in the "22 Lessons on Ethics and Technology Series! In this episode of the series, I speak to Dr. Eric Katz, and we take on the common utopian mythology of technology as inherently progressive, focusing specifically on the frequent slide from utopianism into terror. We talk about the uses of technology during the Holocaust and the specific ways in which scientists, architects, medical professionals, businessmen, and engineers participated in the planning and operation of the concentration and extermination camps that were the foundation of the 'final solution'. How can we think about the claims of technological progress in light of the Nazi's use of science and technology in their killing operations? And what can we learn from the Nazi past about how our commitment to a vision of technological progress can go horrifically wrong? Dr. Eric Katz is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy in the Department of Humanities at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He received a B.A. in Philosophy from Yale in 1974 and a Ph.D.in Philosophy from Boston Universityin 1983. His research focuses on environmental ethics, philosophy of technology, engineering ethics, Holocaust studies, and the synergistic connections among these fields. He is especially known for his criticism of the policy of ecological restoration. Dr. Katz has published over 80 articles and essays in these fields, as well as two books: Anne Frank's Tree: Nature's Confrontation with Technology, Domination, and the Holocaust (White Horse Press, 2015) and Nature as Subject: Human Obligation and Natural Community (Rowman and Littlefield, 1997), winner of the CHOICE book award for “Outstanding Academic Books for 1997.” He is the editor of Death by Design: Science, Technology, and Engineering in Nazi Germany (Pearson/Longman, 2006). He has co-edited (with Andrew Light) the collection Environmental Pragmatism (London: Routledge, 1996) and (with Andrew Light and David Rothenberg) the collection Beneath the Surface: Critical Essays in the Philosophy of Deep Ecology (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2000). He was the Book Review Editor of the journal Environmental Ethics from 1996-2014, and he was the founding Vice-President of the International Society for Environmental Ethics in 1990. From 1991-2007 he was the Director of the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program at NJIT. His current research projects involve science, technology, and environmental policy in Nazi Germany.
Throughout history Jews have been the victims of persecution and discrimination that has forced them from the places they've called home. While the stories associated with the Holocaust are often-told, the stories of the Jewish people in Cuba during the 1950s and 1960s are not as well known. And still, these stories are among the most harrowing, especially for the Polish Jews who had come to Havana to escape the changing tides of Eastern Europe.On this week's episode, Rabbi Pont speaks with author A.J. Sidransky about his new book, The Incident at San Miguel, and Miriam Bradman Abrahams, whose family this amazing historical fiction is based on.An episode not to be missed, especially for the avid reader out there!The book, The Incident at San Miguel, will be released on May 19. It can be purchased on Amazon in hard cover, paperback, Kindle, large print, and audio book formats. Miriam and AJ are also available to appear at book club and larger events.

Yet his list of accomplishments was almost as long as his list of controversies. He said he was “fed up” with the #MeToo movement and questioned the claims of victims who came forward during that time. “What shocks me most in all of this are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened,” Lagerfeld told Numero Magazine. “Not to mention the fact there are no prosecution witnesses.”“One cannot – even if there are decades between them – kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place,” Lagerfeld, who was German, said in 2017. He had apparently taken issue with then German chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to allow Syrian refugees into Germany at the time. “I know someone in Germany who took a young Syrian and after four days said: ‘The greatest thing Germany invented was the Holocaust,'” he added.As Rachel Tashjian notes in the Washington Post, Wintour has gone out of her way to champion designers who have been embroiled in the worst of scandals. That list includes John Galliano, Balenciaga designer Demna and Alexander Wang, who was accused in late 2020 of drugging and sexually assaulting several victims. Wang has denied the allegations made against him.

Max Friedman has spent his career uncovering and writing about the lives of others, but with his newly released book, he turns the focus onto his own family's past. Painful Joy tells the story of Max's parents, Sam and Frieda, who were Holocaust survivors that met and married after their liberation from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. His parents' experiences during the Holocaust shaped their family life—and Max spent much of his life avoiding their traumatic past. It was only five years ago when Max decided to delve deeper into his family's history. Upon doing so, he discovered the little his parents had told him provided only fragmented glimpses into their complex past. Painful Joy delves into the true story of Max's parents and the lasting impact of trauma on their family. Join us as Max shares his journey of writing this book, uncovering his family's past, and the transformative power of storytelling. We discussed: What led Max to uncover the history of his parents' past as Holocaust survivors (and why he avoided it at first) The profound impact of trauma and what it means to be a survivor How Max found peace in his exploration of his parents' past and how it changed him The magic of a published book and a newfound understanding of his family The transformative power of a completed journey for book readers Connect with Max Painful Joy on Amazon http://www.maxfriedman.net Max Friedman on LinkedIn Painful Joy on Amsterdam Publishers

Well, hey there and hello to you today. I hope that the month of May is already a month of blessings, a time when you experience the goodness of the Lord in a whole mess of ways, and that you are able to lean in and draw near to Him each day of this entire month right here at the start of the summer season. And I also hope this podcast, specifically this series on Hot Topics, can be part of your daily walk with the Lord. I'm so thankful you're listening to the show today as we discuss the second topic in this series…the power of forgiveness. Let's jump right in. Jan's books on Amazon You're listening to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show Podcast, part of the Spark Network, now playing in the Edifi app. This is episode number 145. Connect with Jan here: Instagram @JanLBurt TikTok @JanLBurt Facebook Jan L. Burt Author & Podcaster Page Well, here we are again taking a hard look at the hard parts of life in this world, but doing so through the lens of God's Word. His promises, they are for us and they for our good and they for His glory. Let's treat them like we believe that. And handle them with care, if you will. Believing they are true, expecting results based on what God has stated in the Bible, and seeking His glory and honor, not our own. The servant is not greater than the Master, those are the words of Jesus, and they are words that help us when we struggle with forgiveness. I'm not talking about surface level forgiveness, where you paint with such a broad brush and have a “of course we all need grace and forgiveness” - while that is totally true, it can be hard to swallow on a personal level at times. So in total honesty, I will tell you that I have had to forgive and then forgive again and then a few more times the same exact person for one singular issue…because it was big. Bigger than me or my ability to just let it go, let it drift off into the vast sea of forgiveness…I needed help. God-sized help. I needed some promises about this hot topic. And I found them. And they did what God intended for them to do (as His Word always does, it never returns to Him void.) There is an actual difference between forgiveness and the feeling of forgiveness. Feelings are so fickle, aren't they? Sometimes our feelings are just basically useless. Nacho Libre quote coming at you: You are useless, Ignasio… Have you ever had a time when your feelings were so wrong, so off the mark, that by believing and accepting those feelings you ended up in a world of hurt? Like a whole mess came as a result of trusting in the soundness of your feelings. *Does it sound like maybe I'm speaking from personal experience? Cuz it should sound that way, since that would be the truth. This is what makes forgiveness a hot topic, part of this podcast series. The vast difference that lies between Biblical forgiveness and the “feeling” of forgiveness. They are not the same thing. Sure, we know this. You already know this. And yet, we still struggle with the reality of it in our own lives, in those super hard places where we were so wronged, so damaged, used and abused, or our spouse or our kids or our bff or our parents or grandparents, our pastor…you know, people who mean so much to us, they were done wrong and man it can be a big hurdle for us to forgive what has been done to others by others. Cuz hey look, the horrors of the Holocaust were done to actual people by actual people…and a broad, sweeping, overarching decision to “forgive” the German War Machine is something, I suppose, but whatever that something would be it certainly is not forgiveness. We don't need to forgive things. We are called by God's Word to forgive people. And it can be so, so difficult. Now, what about when you have forgiven, like you really truly have, but then out of the seeming blue, this anger arises and oh what am I to do with these emotions, they are strong and powerful emotions, and I already forgave! Why is this reemerging? Well, there can be a ton of reasons why it's cropping up again, and what I have found is that often we really did forgive. And then, God allows a layer of something that needs healing in us, for our own good and for His glory, to show up, to appear, and then, by choosing to forgive yet again, there is like some maturity and healing and growth that takes place. God uses it for our good, and for Kingdom purposes because it invariably leads us to have more compassion, more empathy, opens new doors to minister to people (which is really a beautiful way to point them to Jesus, the One who holds their eternal life in His hands). So sometimes, for sure, we have to forgive. And then, forgive the same person for the long-past offense or crime against us (you can phrase it any number of ways - the wrong thing done to us or to our loved one). It can feel like we took several steps backward when that feeling came up again and we had forgive again. But what if it is actually a path to several big leaps forward? Not baby steps forward, but giant leaps forward? Spoiler alert: that's actually what is going on in our spiritual life, our spiritual development, when we forgive the same person for the same issue yet again. Forgiveness is a heart issue. But we don't have to feel all warm and fuzzy in our “heart” in order to really extend forgiveness. We can feel just as upset after we genuinely forgive someone as we did the moment before we choose to forgive. Forgiving from our heart doesn't mean we will “feel” some certain way; it means we choose some certain way. And that way is the way of Jesus, the One who died for us to receive forgiveness. If you struggle with the way you feel, don't confuse that with having an unforgiving heart. Not necessarily the same thing. Forgiveness is a decision. And it isn't a decision we should put off until we have a change of heart or feel like forgiving. Extend it today, because in light of the Bible verses I am about to share with you, it is a really bad decision to put off, even for one single solitary day. Ephesians 4:32 says in the ESV - Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. God forgave you. So you also must forgive. Mark 11:25, the very words of Jesus, from the ESV - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Forgive who? Of what? Anyone. Of anything. And then what? Your Father who is in heaven will forgive you of your, in the plural, trespasses. Matthew 6:15, more words in red, words Jesus Himself spoke, still referencing the ESV - But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Well now, there is some bit to those words! Like, ouch. I feel that. And it is painful. Jesus says I must forgive, because if I don't, I won't be forgiven. Those are His words. And I am pretty sure He was serious when He spoke them, and is equally serious about forgiveness today. We have to do it, this act, this decision, of forgiving. We have to. We must. Because our Lord, our Master, our King, says so. Matthew 26:28 - For this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for the many for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus speaking (from the ESV). Think about that. How can we not make the decision to forgive when this is what it cost our beloved Savior? If we love Him, it should not be easy for us to refuse to forgive. Hopefully, as we grow up to more and more maturity in the Lord, we will be more and more unable to extend forgiveness, and quickly! Luke 23:34, spoken by Jesus while He was on the cross - And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Oh, this just wrecks me. How dare I not forgive? Oh Lord, make me quick to forgive! When I don't think I can do it, may Your Spirit move and enable me to! To only forgive, to always forgive. I need to live my life like that. Matthew 6:12, from the Lord's prayer - And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Jesus was teaching His followers how to pray (not a by rote, verbatim, able to spew it out each day from memory while scrolling Instagram or running through my to-do list, not even engaging as I pray… how to pray, not what exact words to say, cuz I'm not sure that by rote not even clued in stuff can really be called praying…) And so, as He was teaching them how to pray, this was part of that “how”. Forgive. Just like you've been forgiven. Remembering to be grateful to God for the gift of forgiveness makes the act of forgiving so much easier. I have no right to hold a grudge, to refuse to forgive. I've been forgiven of so, so much. And I need to make the choice to forgive a part of my prayer life. Did you catch that? Lord, how should we pray? Teach us to pray! Pray like this: forgive us, as we have also forgiven. When forgiving is part of our praying, believe me you, things change as to how much sway our little old feelings have over us. It reframes things, and it refocuses things. I have two more verses to share, both from the New Testament, and I chose them intentionally, because I think it is really a big deal to know what the early church was instructed to do about a certain topic and then for us, the modern church, to do what the book says. Matthew 18:21-22 (ESV) - Then Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Some versions say seventy times seven. And I have read that the implication was one person sinning against one other person this many times in a single day…the new round of forgiveness would start again the next day. (And for the Jewish people, each day begins as the sun sets, so each evening would be time to let out that deep sign and begin forgiving again…as in, you literally would not allow the sun to go down on your anger since the new day was beginning as the sun was setting.) Colossians 3?13 - Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. It's not my intention to push you around with the Bible, to shame you (because shame is a tool and tactic of the enemy, and God does not want His people to use satan's means to try and accomplish His will, so there is no guilt or shame in this message today.) I just want you to hear the Word of God on this very hot topic, and to know that you don't have to feel like forgiving in order to actually forgive. It's just a decision, it is a simple but important act of obedience to what our Lord has told us we must do. And we must forgive, or we will not be forgiven. Oh yeah, this is for sure a hot topic. But what promise for us, what hope for us, when we live forgiving others. We cannot even begin to imagine how the Lord will use the life of one of His followers who is so all-in when it comes to forgiving that they don't know how not to forgive. What might He do with such a life? You could be that one. Don't wait another day, another hour, if you know you need to do some forgiving. Do it now, make the decision, and watch God be honored and blessed and bless you in return, because He is such a generous and loving God. Thanks for joining me today for Part Two of the Hot Topics series.

It's Monday, May 1st, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Muslims in Congo killed 80 people, abducted hundreds In the last two weeks, Muslims in the North Kivu province of Congo, Africa have killed 80 people and abducted hundreds. The guilty party? A terrorist group known as the Allied Democratic Forces, reports International Christian Concern. For decades, the Islamic State-allied group, has killed, maimed, abducted, and displaced millions of people in North Kivu. According to Open Doors, Congo is the 37th most dangerous country in the world for Christians. House raised debt ceiling, tighten future spending increases Last Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling while also putting a tight cap on future spending increases, reports CNSNews.com. Listen to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCARTHY: “The House Republicans just passed the only bill in Washington that lifts the debt limit, ends wasteful Washington spending, and puts America back on the right economic path. “We're going to limit the growth in the future. We're going to save by pulling back this unspent COVID money. We're going to grow this economy by making us energy independent again, and getting more people back to work. The president can no longer ignore by not negotiating.” Notorious late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart died at 81 Leroy Carhart, one of the few abortionists in America willing to conduct abortions once an unborn child can survive outside of the womb, has died at the age of 81, reports The Christian Post. On average, by his own admission, he killed 2,000 babies per year. Carhart, who once called the unborn child a "parasite," operated abortion mills in Maryland and Nebraska, both of which advertise abortions up to 35 weeks of pregnancy. In a 2005 60 Minutes Australia interview, he acted as though he was on a noble mission. CARHART: “I truly believe what I'm doing needs to be done. And I'm one that's willing to do it, and there are a lot of people that are not.” At least two women, 19-year-old Christin Gilbert and 29-year-old Jennifer Morbelli, died after Carhart performed late-term abortions on them. Listen to his sad and blasphemous conclusion in that 2005 60 Minutes interview. INTERVIEWER: “You are proud of the work you do?” CARHART: “Yes. You know, I think I am here because it's God's choice." INTERVIEWER: “I was going to ask you, ‘Is your God happy with your work?” CARHART: “My God is … Yes, She is.” (Carhart laughs) According to Proverbs 6:16-19, our Heavenly Father hates seven things that are detestable to Him. Three of them include “hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, and feet that are quick to rush into evil.” Abortionist Leroy Carhart was guilty on all three counts. Jerry Springer, the trashy talk show host, died at 79 In other obituary news, notorious talk show host Jerry Springer died on April 27th at the age of 79, reports the Associated Press. Born in London during World War II to Jewish refugees escaping the Holocaust, Springer was raised in Queens, New York City. After becoming an attorney, he worked on the presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy in 1968. After getting elected as a City Councilman in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1971, he confessed to having solicited a prostitute in Kentucky, the state just south, and resigned. SPRINGER: “I engaged in activities which at least, to me, are questionable these actions have weighed heavily on my conscience. This behavior, this particular incident certainly sets a bad example for anybody else to follow and one which I am obviously not very proud of. “It is my fondest wish to re-enter public life. But I believe it in the best interest of this community, that I resign until such time that the air has been cleared.” But in 1975, he ran for Cincinnati Mayor and won resoundingly. Then, Springer worked for 10 years as a political reporter, commentator, and ultimately anchor of Cincinnati's NBC affiliate. When the TV show, Jerry Springer, debuted in 1991, it started as a political talk show. Guests on the show included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, Topics included homelessness and gun control. But, in early 1994, Springer and a new producer turned to tabloidish sensationalism. SPRINGER: “When our show started, we were a serious show. But then, all of a sudden, it started going crazy. When Universal bought us, they said, ‘From now on, only crazy!'” Guests were everyday people confronted on a television stage by a spouse or family member's adultery, homosexuality, transsexuality, prostitution, and cross dressing. For 27 years, Jerry Springer celebrated, instead of chastised, the deeds of the flesh enumerated in Galatians 5:19: “immorality, impurity, and sensuality.” SPRINGER: “My show is stupid.” INTERVIEWER: “Why do you think it's stupid?” SPRINGER: “Well, because it has no redeeming social value.” He had created a new talk show genre called trash TV. By 1998, it was beating The Oprah Winfrey Show in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. David Plotz, a columnist for Slate, wrote, “During his slide into Hades, Springer's liberalism degenerated into a kind of nihilism. If a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, a nihilist is a liberal who is paid $2 million a year to do something revolting.” In a conversation with Larry King, Springer justified the moral decadence which he promoted because of the fame and fortune. SPRINGER: “It's a great job. Somebody comes to you and says, ‘Hey, Jerry, I got this job. You're on television an hour a day. It will be the number one show in America. You'll meet the most interesting, fascinating, crazy people you've ever met in your life. The stories are just wild. Plus, we'll pay you handsomely.' that you honestly say no, I'm not going to do that. I'm taking the job at the library.” 1 Timothy 6:10 warns, “For the love of money is the root of all of evil.” In 1998, Senators Dan Coats, a Republican from Indiana, and Joseph Lieberman, a Democrat from Connecticut, demanded the feds stop funding Springer's closed captioning. SPRINGER: “I was hired to be a ringleader of a circus. I am hosting a show about outrageousness.” Sadly, Jerry Springer's exploitation of sin led to the further coarsening of American culture.

We look back on things we clearly messed up. We were too preoccupied. We were too harsh. We were wrong. We didn't know.And because we messed up, we feel guilty. We regret what could have been. We're mad at ourselves. We wallow in pity or shame.Dr. Edith Eger, the Holocaust survivor, cut through all this with her graceful bluntness on the Daily Stoic podcast recently (she's been on twice, both episodes are must listens). “I'll give you a sentence,” she said. “If I knew then, what I know now, I would have done things differently.”---And in today's excerpt from the Daily Stoic, Ryan explores why "the highest power is no power if you desire nothing." ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail
A Kennedy is running for President and the corrupt media pretends they don't careIt's not likely any of us would vote for a Kennedy. It's important, though that RFK, Jr.'s voice be amplified into the ears of Democrats, so the part of their brains not yet controlled by MSNBC and TikTok might remember how it sounds to hear a man speak of God, not to check a box in a speech, but because he believes. It's important Democrats confront themselves with their role in censoring ideas and expressions of worry, data and information and that they are forced to understand they now work for Big Pharma. Democrats must be held to mental account for the harms they created by keeping the medically useless, politically targeted, deadly, Blackrock and Vanguard enriching lockdowns of churches, “schools” and small business in place for two-years.What does God say?
