Prit Buttar's book Centuries Will Not Suffice: A History of the Lithuanian Holocaust (Amberley, 2023) explores how different people responded to the Lithuanian Holocaust and the roles that they played. It considers the past history of the perpetrators and those who took great risks to save Jews, as well as describing the experiences of many who were caught up in the maelstrom. Unlike the figures at the top of the Nazi hierarchy, the men who were responsible for these killings have been largely forgotten. Karl Jäger was a senior SS figure who was in charge of the units that carried out most of them. He complained that his experiences caused him to suffer nightmares but continued to order his units to carry on and refused offers of sick leave on the grounds that he regarded it as his duty to remain in his post. He took refuge in compiling painstakingly detailed reports of the killings, listing the numbers executed at every location and breaking them down into men, women and children. T he roles played by other figures, from Himmler and Heydrich at the summit, through the ranks of men down to Martin Weiss and Bruno Kittel who were personally responsible for carrying out Nazi policies, are all described. Before the German invasion of Lithuania, two diplomats - Chiune Sugihara from Japan and Jan Zwartendijk from the Netherlands - recognised the great danger that lay ahead for the Jews of the Baltic region and did what they could to help them escape. Karl Plagge, a major in the army, did all he could to save Jews. What perhaps make the terrible story of the Baltic genocide unique is that the Nazi regime was able to rely upon collaboration by convincing the populace that the Soviet invasion of the area was the responsibility of the Jews.

The summer of 1940 brought a measure of desperation in the search for visas in order to escape the clutches of the Soviet Union. Two Dutch citizens stranded in Lithuania independently contacted the Dutch consul in Riga LPJ de Decker, in order to seek his assistance in exiting the country. With Holland itself occupied by the Nazis since the previous May, it was thought to travel to the Dutch held island of Curacao. Ambassador de Decker informed Peppy Sternheim Lewin and Nathan Gutwirth that no visa was required for entry to Curacao, it was up to the discretion of the local governor to permit entry. De Decker was asked if the passport could be stamped with the words ‘no visa required for Curacao' while leaving out the stipulation that the governor's permission was required. De Decker authorized the honorary Dutch consul in Kovno, Jan Zwartendijk, to stamp passports in this fashion, and he even acquiesced a further request that this Curacao ‘visa' even be issued for non-Dutch citizens. When rescue activist Zorach Warhaftig heard about the Curacao ‘visas' he immediately spread the word among the refugee community, and thousands of Polish refugees lined up to receive the Curacao visas from Zwartendijk. With their end visa in hand, refugees proceeded to the Japanese consul in Kovno, where Chiune Sugihara issued the vital Japanese visas.                                       Cross River, a leading financial institution committed to supporting its communities, is proud to sponsor Jewish History Soundbites.

Dag studenten van de Nederlandse taal! In deze aflevering van de Dutch Today podcast praat ik over Jan Zwartendijk. Hij was deze week in het nieuws, omdat hij tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog heel goede dingen gedaan heeft. Waarom wil de gehele tweede kamer dat hij na zijn dood nog een onderscheiding krijgt? En wat heeft dit met Japan en Curacao te maken? Luister en leer! Als je vragen hebt of opmerkingen, stuur me een bericht via instagram en volg me ook op Youtube.

Met vandaag: verzoek aan de Koning om Jan Zwartendijk te eren; IDF-reddingsmissie terug; schattingen spreken nu over 300.000 demonstranten in Jeruzalem; steeds meer stemmen roepen op onderhandelingen te beginnen; 2500 jaar Joods leven door aardbeving weggevaagd en veel meer nieuws uit Israël.

Nathan Gutwirth was a Dutch yeshiva student at the Telz Yeshiva in Lithuania when he was thrust onto the stage of history. He was someone at the right place, at the right time, who did the right thing. When the Second World War broke out, he sought a way for he and his fiancée to escape to one of the Dutch overseas possessions and away from the developing inferno. Corresponding with the local Dutch consul Jan Zwartendijk and the Dutch ambassador in Riga LPJ De Decker, the island of Curacao became a possible destination. Ultimately, this would seem to be a possible destination for non-Dutch citizens as well, and many were saved as a result. He himself ended up in Indonesia, and was later interned by the Japanese. Following the war he immigrated to the United States before returning to Antwerp, where he lived out his remaining years.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Journalist en auteur Jan Brokken is te gast bij Pat Donnez in deze 'Berg en Dal'-podcast. Hij schreef o.a. 'De rechtvaardigen'. Over hoe een Nederlandse consul duizenden Joden redde. Die consul heet Jan Zwartendijk. Directeur van een verkoopkantoor voor Philips radio’s in Kaunas die wordt benoemd tot Nederlands consul. De man heeft zelf nooit geweten dat hij tijdens Wereldoorlog 2 duizenden Joden redde. Een onwaarschijnlijk, waargebeurd verhaal.

In deze aflevering twee slimme dertigers en PG.Nu D66 met Rob Jetten een nieuwe leider heeft, moet de partij een nieuw speerpunt aanscherpen: ‘radicale kansengelijkheid’ om de tweedeling in de samenleving te bestrijden. Coen Brummer, directeur van de mr. Hans van Mierlo Stichting, sluit hiermee aan bij Jan Terlouw, die in Betrouwbare Bronnen afl. 1 ervoor pleitte dat D66 zich ‘radicaler, linkser’ gaat profileren.Brummer bespreekt de inhoudelijke verdiensten van de grote D66-leiders Van Mierlo, Terlouw en Pechtold en maakt alvast de agenda op voor zijn goede vriend Jetten: ‘Het regeerakkoord wordt elke dag een beetje minder actueel.’Pieter Gerrit Kroeger bespreekt twee opmerkelijke manieren om afscheid te nemen uit de politiek: ministe-president jonkheer Dirk Jan de Geer (CHU) die bij koningin Wilhelmina met zelfmoord dreigde en premier Dries van Agt (CDA), die tegen het einde van de kabinetsformatie plots vertrok om plaats te maken voor ‘premier Jan de Koning’ – maar die wilde niet.Econoom, bestuurskundige en sociaal-psycholoog Wimar Bolhuis promoveerde deze week op de opmerkelijke verschillen tussen beloften in verkiezingsprogramma’s en het uiteindelijke regeerakkoord. Die kosten de belastingbetaler per kabinet een slordige drie miljard euro en zijn vooral in het voordeel van bedrijven, zonder dat het vestigingsklimaat er bewijsbaar op vooruit gaat.-----Afl. 7 van Betrouwbare Bronnen is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Atlas Contact, uitgever van De Rechtvaardigen, geschreven door Jan Brokken. Het boek gaat over Jan Zwartendijk, een Nederlandse consul die aan het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog duizenden Joden wist te redden door hen aan een visum voor Curacao te helpen.
