Many Jews were reluctant first-hand witnesses to Nazi cruelty and suffering.    For many Hungarian survivors,  often deliberately misled about the truth of Auschwitz's existence, betrayal only added to their pain. Risa Shayowitz - aged a young 95 years old - relays that tragedy, even as she looks only to move forward. An American chaplain in the US Army in April 1945 - Rabbi Hershel Schachter - opened up the gates of Hell. In a little known recording, we hear him describe the piles of bodies, the still warm crematoria and the emaciated Jews he discovered there. His dedication gave life to many.   Our duty nowadays is to understand what Exile means and how Tisha B'Av gives us that ability.   For further details on the Poland trip 3rd-6th November with Rabbi Hersh & Rabbi Tatz, email: Giana.elav@gmail.com   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Jewish Heritage and History 01:50 The Remarkable Life of Riza Indic-Kaufman 04:34 Survival Stories from Auschwitz 11:14 Life in Auschwitz: A Personal Account 19:36 The Impact of Loss and Resilience 25:50 The Role of Liberators: Rabbi Herschel Schachter 30:20 Experiencing Buchenwald: A Chaplain's Perspective 40:53 Rebuilding Lives After Liberation 51:53 The Journey to Switzerland and New Beginnings 01:00:33 Reflections on Suffering and Redemption

How serious are we about our walk with God? Do we have sin on our record? Or do we run to Him with a belief that it doesn't matter how much we sin if we have acknowledged Him as Lord? What is expected by Him?

How do we as the army of God work together in oneness? Do we as the tribes of Israel did, travel as a unit as on in Messiah? Are we learning to be disciplined as Messiah has called us?

Being merciful and encouraging others, this surrender like Moses, like those who held up Moses' hands, are we learning from this? God is calling us to be faithful!

In the early 20th century, the New York Times dubbed French philosopher Henri Bergson as "the most dangerous man in the world." Bergson scared a lot of people in how he brought philosophy to the masses but he also won critical acclaim, receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature and France's highest honor, the Grand-Croix de la Legion d'honneur. Surprisingly, no English language biography exists of him. Until now. This week, Dr. Emily Herring joins in to talk about Bergson's rise to fame, his influence on 20th century thought, and the mysteries behind why he died in relative obscurity. About our guest:Dr. Emily Herring received her PhD from the University of Leeds and is now working as a freelance writer and editor. She is the author of the first biography of Henri Bergson in English, Herald of a Restless World. How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People (2024 Basic Books).
