Podcast appearances and mentions of judy batalion

In the aftermath of the horrific attack by Hamas on the people of Israel on October 7th, I and many others were shocked to witness not a clear and staunch condemnation of terrorism, but an explosion of ugly antisemitic sentiment and protests.  These attacks extended to Jewish thought leaders and authors, many of whom had speaking engagements and book deals cancelled. Jewish owned bookstores and publishing houses were boycotted. Author, podcaster, and founder of Zibby Media, Zibby Owens responded by speaking out and taking action. Zibby reached out to fellow Jewish authors to ask them to write essays about their experiences after October 7th. Over 100 Jewish authors and advocates responded, and the result is this amazing book edited by Zibby entitled, On Being Jewish Now. All proceeds from On Being Jewish Now benefit Artists Against Antisemitism of which Zibby is also a cofounder. In today's episode, I speak with 5 of these courageous contributors: Lisa Barr, author of the bestselling Women on Fire and The Goddess of Warsaw,  Judy Batalion, bestselling author of The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos which has been optioned by Steven Spielberg, Alyssa Rosenheck a celebrated interiors photographer who has been recognized by Architectural Digest as one of the top photographers in the country in addition to being a writer, author and advocate, David Kaufman a writer, editor and columnist for The New York Post, and last but certainly not least, Nicola Kraus – bestselling author of The Nanny Diaries among several bestselling works. In this conversation, we talk about the antisemitism these authors and advocates have faced since October 7th, their essays in the book, what it feels like to be Jewish in this moment, what they are doing to combat antisemitism and hate and what we should all be doing to support our Jewish friends and neighbors. I admire guests Lisa, Judy, Alyssa, Nicola and David so much for all that they are doing, Zibby for putting this important book together and everyone who is both a contributor to this book and standing up against Antisemitism in ways big and small.

Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and neighbors and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland--some still in their teens--helped transform the Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. With courage, guile, and nerves of steel, these "ghetto girls" paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. They flirted with German soldiers, bribed them with wine, whiskey, and home cooking, used their Aryan looks to seduce them, and shot and killed them. They bombed German train lines and blew up a town's water supply. They also nursed the sick, taught children, and hid families. Yet the exploits of these courageous resistance fighters have remained virtually unknown. As propulsive and thrilling as Hidden Figures, In the Garden of Beasts, and Band of Brothers, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos (William Morrow, 2021) at last tells the true story of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalion--the granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors--takes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers, armed fighters, intelligence agents, and saboteurs, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps, and for a lucky few--like Renia, who orchestrated her own audacious escape from a brutal Nazi jail--into the late 20th century and beyond. Powerful and inspiring, featuring twenty black-and-white photographs, The Light of Days is an unforgettable true tale of war, the fight for freedom, exceptional bravery, female friendship, and survival in the face of staggering odds.

The Atlantic's Derek Thompson went searching for answers to his sleep issues and in the process stumbled on some interesting sleep history. He tells us about how people slept in medieval times and whether it might be helpful to sleep-weary Americans. And, we revisit our conversation with Judy Batalion, author of the book "The Light of Days," which tells the stories of young women resistance fighters in Polish Jewish ghettos during World War II.

On the right, it has become aligned with nationalism, and on the left, it is seen as an impediment to acknowledging exclusions and flaws in our founding documents and theories. Can we even resurrect common values and salvage patriotism?

Faye Schulman lost most of her family in the Holocaust—her parents, aunts, uncles, two brothers and two sisters. But Schulman herself was spared because she was a photographer and had worked in her brother's studio. She ended up living a life worthy of a Hollywood film, joining and living with a band of Russian partisan fighters in the woods. Schulman died at the end of April in Toronto at the age of 101. This week, her children are marking the traditional 30-day anniversary of her death, called shloshim. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we hear from two writers about Schulman's life and legacy. Ron Csillag, a reporter for The CJN, wrote her obituary and had met her briefly years ago; and Judy Batalion is a Montreal-born writer whose latest book, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos, features Schulman among many other courageous women.

(5/24/21) After witnessing the brutal murder of their families and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland—some still in their teens—helped transform the Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. As revealed in Judy Batalion’s new book The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos (soon to be a major motion picture directed by Stephen Spielberg), these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade and helped build systems of underground bunkers. Join us for the untold story of these heroic women who put their lives on the line to fight back against the Nazis in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

Liz Cheney as an American heroine, the untold story of the daring resistance efforts of the heroic Jewish women in the Polish ghettos of the Nazi occupation -- women as heroines takes center stage on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show this week when joining Halli is her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper, and author of the grippingly told, THE LIGHT OF DAYS, Judy Batalion.To no one's surprise Rep. Liz Cheney was ousted from her leadership position in the Republican Party in a 16 minute voice vote, Republican leadership lacking the courage to record individual votes, thus making Cheney the Opposition Leader to a party gone cuckoo for Trump. But that is only a part of this week's Republican crazy. After taking her freak show on the road with alleged pedophile Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber on Wednesday afternoon, began shouting at her, asking why Ocasio-Cortez supports Antifa, a far-left activist group, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them "terrorist" groups. Who is going to rein in Taylor Greene? Not one of her fello cuckoos. But that's just where we begin. Oh, the drama! Things get a little heated on the subject of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Tune in. You might need a Compari and soda by the time Halli and Matt are done.We return to sanity in our second half-hour when Halli is joined by author Judy Batalion here to talk about her new book THE LIGHT OF DAYS: THE UNTOLD STORY OF WOMEN RESISTANCE FIGHTERS IN HITLER'S GHETTOS. Of the many stories out of World War II, one of the most extraordinary has remained hidden until now: the daring resistance efforts of Jewish women in the Polish ghettos of the Nazi occupation. Defiant, rebellious, this is the recounting of the unsung women who worked together, and risked their lives in their David-and-Goliath fight against the Nazi's. Grippingly told, THE LIGHT OF DAYS sheds light on the invaluable role these heroines played in fighting against and surviving Hitler's Final Solution. Liz Cheney heroine, the cuckoo GOP, what to do about out-of-control Marjoire Taylor Greene, what to do about he says he's a Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin, Covid-19, the fragile economy, Joe Biden's Infrastructure plan, even J Lo and Ben Affleck make an appearance.There's a lot to get to.

She went on to meet and counsel thousands of entrepreneurs and business people, and even advise President of the United States Barack Obama on the topic of job creation. To help small businesses in the age of COVID-19, Xu recently launched Yes She May, an online shop for well-designed products in fashion, wellness, beauty and home from women-owned brands. She is a Trustee of the University of Maryland and a member of Fortune's Most Powerful Women. Kathryn also interviews Judy Batalion PhD, author of “The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos.” One of the most extraordinary stories of the Holocaust and World War II has remained hidden until now: the daring resistance efforts of Jewish women in the ghettos of the Nazi occupation. Batalion shares the acts of defiance and rebellion of women who saw and acknowledged the truth of their time, faced an inevitable death, worked together and risked their lives daily in the fight for justice and liberty. She reveals the ingenuity and tenacity of a handful of astonishingly brave young women, underscoring how their movement was larger and more organized than the annals of history have recorded—until now. Batalion's essays have appeared in the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Forward, Vogue and more.

THE LIGHT OF DAYS: THE UNTOLD STORIES OF WOMEN RESISTANCE FIGHTERS IN HITLER'S GHETTOS by Judy Batalion One of the most important stories of World War II, already optioned by Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture: a spectacular, searing history that brings to light the extraordinary accomplishments of brave Jewish women who became resistance fighters―a group of unknown heroes whose exploits have never been chronicled in full, until now. Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and neighbors and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland―some still in their teens―helped transform the Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. With courage, guile, and nerves of steel, these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. They flirted with German soldiers, bribed them with wine, whiskey, and home cooking, used their Aryan looks to seduce them, and shot and killed them. They bombed German train lines and blew up a town’s water supply. They also nursed the sick and taught children. Yet the exploits of these courageous resistance fighters have remained virtually unknown. As propulsive and thrilling as Hidden Figures, In the Garden of Beasts, Band of Brothers, and A Train in Winter, The Light of Days at last tells the true story of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalion―the granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors―takes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers, armed fighters, intelligence agents, and saboteurs, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps, and for a lucky few―like Renia, who orchestrated her own audacious escape from a brutal Nazi jail―into the late 20th century and beyond. Powerful and inspiring, featuring twenty black-and-white photographs, The Light of Days is an unforgettable true tale of war, the fight for freedom, exceptional bravery, female friendship, and survival in the face of staggering odds. Judy Batalion is the author of White Walls: A Memoir About Motherhood, Daughterhood and the Mess in Between. She has written for the New York Times, Vogue, the Washington Post and many other publications. Prior to her writing career, she was an academic and is fluent in both Yiddish and Hebrew. Born and raised in Montreal, she now lives in New York with her husband and children. https://www.amazon.com/Light-Days-Resistance-Fighters-Hitlers/dp/0062874217 https://www.judybatalion.com/ http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/lightofdays.mp3

Kik voltak a második világháború zsidó partizánnői és miért nem hallottunk még róluk?A lengyel ellenállás ifjúsági mozgalmaiban résztvevő fiatal nők történetei mára feledésbe merültek, pedig fontos szereplői voltak az földalatti fegyveres csoportoknak a holokauszt évei alatt. A nácikkal megdöbbentő bátorsággal szembeszálló 15-20 éves lányok életveszélyes akciókat hajtottak végre, hírszerzési és csempészhálózatok működtettek, kémek, futárok, menekítők és bújtatók voltak, és női mivoltuk adottságait is eszközként használták fel a túlélés érdekében.Judy Batalion Partizánnők című könyve ezekre a fiatal harcosokra segít emlékezni, egyúttal árnyalni az áldozatiságról alkotott képünket, emberivé tenni az ellenállás narratíváit, és felszínre hozni annak nőtörténeti szempontjait. A kötet Gyárfás Vera fordításában a holokauszt magyar emléknapja alkalmából jelent meg magyar nyelven.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Judy Batalion, the author of "The Light of Days", to discuss a largely untold story of the holocaust, the story of the young Jewish women who formed a resistance movement and fought back against the Nazis. Judy was born and raised in Montreal, where she grew up speaking English, French, Yiddish and Hebrew, and trying to stay warm. She studied the history of science at Harvard then moved to London to pursue a PhD in art history. All the while, she worked as a curator, researcher, editor, lecturer, comic, MC, script-reader, dramaturge, performer, actor, producer, translator, muffins server, and a temp – at a temp agency. Eventually, Judy transformed these experiences into material, and wrote essays and articles for the New York Times, the Washington Post, Vogue, the Forward, Salon, the Jerusalem Post and many other publications. Her stories about family relationships, the generational transmission of trauma, pathological hoarding and militant minimalism came together in her book White Walls: A Memoir About Motherhood, Daughterhood, and the Mess in Between (NAL/Penguin, 2016). White Walls was optioned by Warner Brothers for whom Judy is currently developing the TV series “Cluttered.” Back in 2007, during her phase of career promiscuity, Judy was doing research on strong Jewish women at the British Library when she happened to come across a dusty, old Yiddish book. Freuen in di Ghettos (Women in the Ghettos), a Yiddish thriller about “ghetto girls” who hid revolvers in teddy bears, bribed Nazis with whiskey and pastry, and blew up German supply trains, became the inspiration for The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos (William Morrow/HarperCollins, 2021). The Light of Days will be published across Europe, and in Brazil and Israel, and was optioned by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners, for whom Judy is co-writing the screenplay. (Gey veys… Who knew that Yiddish would become her cash cow?) Judy lives with her husband and three children in New York City. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Judy Batalion, author of “White Walls: A Memoir About Motherhood, Daughterhood, and the Mess In Between” speaks honestly about her childhood experience of growing up with a mother who was a compulsive hoarder.  Before hoarding became a psychiatric diagnosis, all Judy knew as a child was that her mom collected and attached to objects that created so much clutter in her home she couldn't physically or emotionally connect with her mom.  As an adult, she came to understand that there was a name for her experience,  and that early childhood trauma was the  origin of this intense attachment to clutter and the feelings of failure that permeated their relationship.  A powerful and poignant conversation about motherhood, daughterhood, and the  complicated mess of relationships.

A central component of Purim observance is, of course, the raucous, collective reading of the Book of Esther. That tradition has evolved into a virtual industry of theatrical storytelling events, or Purimspiels. This year, Vox Tablet decided to jump on the bandwagon. We commissioned four young comedians and/or comedy writers—Josh Gondelman (of recent Modern Seinfeld fame), Emily Heller, Rob Kutner, and Judy Batalion—to share personal stories related to one of several Purim-related themes. With guest host Rebecca Soffer as emcee, here are their stories, which take us on ill-advised cross-country road trips, deposit us in awkward dinner conversations, and remind us of the many ways one can hide one’s identity...

This week, we hear the untold story of women resistance fighters in Hitler's ghettos.  We also speak with an author about life in Iraq under Saddam Hussein's regime. Of the legions of stories of World War II and the Holocaust that shape our understanding of those history-changing events, one of the most extraordinary has remained hidden: the daring resistance efforts of Jewish women in the ghettos of the Nazi occupations. In the new book The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos, Judy Batalion shares the acts of defiance and rebellion of women who saw and acknowledged the truth of their time. Batalion is also the author of White Walls: A Memoir about Motherhood, Daughterhood, and the Mess in Between.  Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Vogue. Batalion spent 14 years researching her new book, she says The Light of Days stemmed from her childhood and wanting to write about a strong Jewish female. The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos is published by William Morrow. The book was picked up by Stephen Spielberg's Amblin Partners. It will be produced as a film under the DreamWorks Pictures label with Batalion as a co-producer. Now, we head to the Middle East to experience life under a different regime.  Inspired by her own experiences stationed in Baghdad during Saddam Hussein's rule, former foreign correspondent Gina Wilkinson's debut novel is told through the eyes of three very different women in Iraq at the turn of the millennium. Wilkinson is an award-winning journalist who has reported for the BBC, NPR, and ABC. Her new book When the Apricots Bloom follows a secretary, an artist, and a diplomat's wife. Each must confront the complexities of trust, friendship, and motherhood under the rule of a dictator and his ruthless secret police. I asked what inspired her to write this story.
