POPULARITY
October 7, 2023, rocked Israel to its core. In the wake of the sudden and shocking attack on the Holy Land by Hamas terrorists, Dr. Adi Vaxman knew she had to get involved. As the founder and president of Operation Israel, she and her team have supplied millions of dollars' worth of supplies to the Israeli troops fighting in the Middle East. Adi elevates the stories of Jewish survivors dating back to the Holocaust. In addition, she fights to uphold the values of humanity and Jewish history here in the United States through our education system. Her team at Operation Israel is small but very impactful. They focus solely on saving lives and providing key equipment for the IDF. They also share real-time updates from the field on their website and social media pages. TAKEAWAYS Adi's grandfather bravely saved children in Auschwitz Adi champions fighting against the threats aimed at Israel with knowledge The terrorist forces coalesced against Israel as a ‘culture of death' We have to be diligent that our children are raised in an environment that speaks the truth
Llega la oscuridad Bajo el régimen nazi, la política antisemita evoluciona desde leyes discriminatorias hasta un programa de exterminio sistemático. Tras las ejecuciones masivas de los Einsatzgruppen en el frente oriental, el régimen crea centros de exterminio como Chełmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz Birkenau y Majdanek, diseñados para asesinar a comunidades enteras mediante gas y trabajos forzados. La operación Torch En 1942, la Operación Torch lleva tropas de EE. UU. a Norte de África. Allí combaten a Rommel y al Afrika Korps en feroces batallas por Túnez.
Es war das bis dahin längste und teuerste Gerichtsverfahren in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Aber mit den Urteilen gegen die insgesamt neun Angeklagten waren viele unzufrieden.
Guest Karen Berman, Ph.D., Chaired the Department of Theatre and Dance at Georgia College and previously taught for 15 years at Georgetown University. She is Dean Emerita, College of Fellows of the American Theatre; Past President of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education; Director of 150 Holocaust and other theatre productions; and winner of the Georgia Governor's Award for the Arts and the Hillel Heroes Award. Karen is co-Artistic Director of Washington Women in Theatre. She is the co-author with Dr. Gail Humphries of the two-volume work, Stories of the Holocaust: Art for Healing and Renewal. Co-host Irene Stern Frielich was a guest on Episode 370: "Walking Where History Happened: A Daughter's Holocaust Journey." Irene is the daughter of a German Jewish Holocaust survivor—but for much of her life, the story remained unspoken. In 2017, after rediscovering her father's testimony, Irene set out to physically retrace his escape route from Nazi Germany through his survival in Holland. The result was a journey of reconciliation and healing. Her award-winning memoir, Shattered Stars, Healing Hearts, explores trauma, courage, and connection across generations. Summary In this episode, Jeff and co-host Irene Stern Frielich speak with Dr. Karen Berman about the role of the arts in Holocaust education and remembrance. Dr. Berman discusses her five-year project to co-edit two volumes featuring 33 contributors who explore how theater, music, visual art, and film illuminate the Holocaust and its aftermath. The books argue that the arts can foster empathy, healing, and social responsibility while inspiring people to become "upstanders" who actively oppose hate and injustice. The conversation explores how artistic expression functioned as both resistance and survival during the Holocaust. A powerful example is the performance of Verdi's Requiem in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where imprisoned singers used music as a form of spiritual defiance against their captors. The discussion also examines how Holocaust education is evolving. Scholars and educators are increasingly shifting from purely historical instruction toward approaches that engage students emotionally and morally through storytelling, performance, and immersive technologies such as virtual reality and holographic survivor testimony. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that art has the power to humanize history, deepen empathy, and transform audiences into witnesses. By connecting personal stories with creative expression, educators and artists can ensure that Holocaust memory remains meaningful—and that the lessons of history inspire moral action today.

Die meisten Menschen kennen den Völkermord an den Juden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Die Nazis errichteten zahlreiche Konzentrationslager. Das größte war Auschwitz, wo 1,1 Millionen Menschen ermordet wurden. Das zweitgrößte Lager in Polen war Majdanek, wo 360.000 Menschen ihr Leben verloren. Majdanek lag in der Nähe von Lublin und wurde 1941 nach der Besetzung Polens durch die Nazis erbaut. Dort wurden etwa 500.000 Gefangene aus 26 Ländern inhaftiert, zu Zwangsarbeit genötigt und systematisch ermordet. Zu den Opfern zählten Juden, Mitglieder des polnischen Untergrundwiderstands und sowjetische Kriegsgefangene.... https://de.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/12/24/188877.html

Entre las filas de las temibles SS Totenkopfverbände, la división más despiadada y encargada de los campos de exterminio, se encontraban guardias femeninas cuyo destino estaba sellado por su lealtad ciega al Reich y su devoción por Adolf Hitler. El 13 de diciembre de 1945, en la prisión de Hamelín, Irma Grese enfrentó su destino final. En un frío amanecer, fue conducida al patíbulo, escoltada por soldados aliados. A pesar de su juventud, su rostro no mostraba arrepentimiento. Vestida con un sencillo uniforme de prisión, subió los escalones de la horca con una calma que heló la sangre de los presentes. El verdugo ajustó la soga alrededor de su cuello mientras un silencio sepulcral envolvía la sala. Tras la liberación de Stutthof, muchas de las guardias intentaron escapar, conscientes de que sus crímenes no quedarían impunes. Entre las acusadas se encontraba Jenny-Wanda Barkmann, apodada "la bella bestia", conocida por su sadismo y crueldad, quien fue condenada a muerte junto a varias de sus compañeras. Cuando los Aliados liberaron los campos de concentración, capturaron a muchas de las guardias femeninas de las SS en los mismos lugares donde operaban. Muchos miembros de las SS fueron ejecutados por los soviéticos al liberar los campos, mientras que otros fueron enviados a gulags. Solo unas pocas guardias femeninas enfrentaron juicios, principalmente en procesos como los de Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, Stutthof y Majdanek. El brutal final que muchas guardias femeninas de las SS enfrentaron bajo control soviético se ejemplificó en Stutthof. Stutthof fue el primer campo de concentración construido fuera de Alemania, situado cerca del pueblo de Stutthof, ahora Sztutowo, en la Polonia ocupada. Inicialmente diseñado como un campo de internamiento civil para prisioneros políticos polacos, evolucionó rápidamente en un sitio de trabajos forzados y asesinatos en masa a medida que avanzaba la guerra. Operativo hasta su liberación por las fuerzas soviéticas el nueve de mayo de mil novecientos cuarenta y cinco, se estima que entre sesenta y tres mil y sesenta y cinco mil prisioneros murieron allí debido a una combinación de ejecuciones, hambre, enfermedades y condiciones de vida brutalmente inhumanas. Las condiciones de vida en Stutthof eran, por decirlo suavemente, horrendas. Los prisioneros estaban hacinados en barracas superpobladas, con refugio inadecuado y casi sin calefacción, especialmente durante los inviernos severos. Las barracas eran insalubres, infestadas de alimañas y sin ventilación adecuada. Las raciones de comida eran mínimas, consistiendo principalmente en sopa aguada y pan duro, lo que llevaba a una malnutrición generalizada y hambruna. Muchos prisioneros sufrían enfermedades debilitantes, como el tifus, que azotó el campo durante los inviernos de mil novecientos cuarenta y dos y mil novecientos cuarenta y cuatro, exacerbadas por la falta de atención médica y las condiciones insalubres.
Aukcja w niemieckim domu aukcyjnym wstrząsnęła opinią publiczną zarówno w Polsce, jak i w Niemczech. Wśród wystawionych na sprzedaż przedmiotów znalazły się listy, dokumenty i pamiątki z obozów koncentracyjnych – w wielu przypadkach ostatnie ślady po ludziach zamordowanych przez Niemców.Jak podkreśla Hanna Radziejowska z berlińskiego oddziału Instytutu Pileckiego, skala tej kolekcji i sposób jej zaprezentowania obnażyły problem, którego w Polsce wciąż nie wypowiedziano do końca. Radziejowska przyznaje, że wiadomości o aukcjach takich materiałów w Niemczech niestety nie są zaskoczeniem.Czasami krążą takie materiały, listy z gett, listy z obozów koncentracyjnych, różne dokumenty, których Trzecia Rzesza i cały ten niemiecki system terroru wyprodukował– mówi. Tym razem jednak, jak podkreśla, uderzyła nie pojedyncza pamiątka, lecz rozmiar i precyzja całej kolekcji.Ta kolekcja ewidentnie była zbierana przez wiele lat. Było to podzielone starannie na różne obozy: Pawiak, Dachau, Auschwitz, Majdanek. To była gigantyczna kolekcja– relacjonuje.Wielu badaczy, z którymi rozmawiała, miało poczucie, że czegoś takiego nie widzieli nigdy w życiu. Najbardziej bolesny okazał się jednak fakt, że – wbrew pierwszym medialnym narracjom – znaczna część tych pamiątek dotyczyła nie osób żydowskich, lecz polskich więźniów politycznych.Zdecydowana większość tych materiałów, na pewno więcej niż połowa, to są polscy więźniowie polityczni– podkreśla Radziejowska.Wiele z tych listów prawdopodobnie nigdy nie trafiło do rodzin. Dla części więźniów mogły być jedynym śladem ich ostatnich dni. Tymczasem cena wywoławcza wielu dokumentów wynosiła zaledwie 500 euro.Dylemat etyczny i wątpliwa narracja domu aukcyjnegoDom aukcyjny argumentował, że część materiałów pochodzi od potomków ofiar, a całość miała rzekomo stanowić „projekt badawczy kolekcjonera”. Radziejowska jest sceptyczna wobec takich tłumaczeń.Oni tak napisali, bo potrzebowali się usprawiedliwić. Mówili głównie, że nie chcieli zranić uczuć. Czy tak jest naprawdę?– pyta.Jej zdaniem struktura i sposób zebrania dokumentów sugerują raczej długotrwałe pozyskiwanie obozowych materiałów na rynku kolekcjonerskim. Zwraca uwagę, że w Niemczech właśnie odchodzi pokolenie odpowiedzialne za tworzenie systemu terroru, a w prywatnych domach odnajdują się masowo dokumenty, które nigdy nie powinny trafić do obrotu.Reakcja Polski i dalsze krokiPo nagłośnieniu sprawy przez Międzynarodowy Komitet Auschwitz oraz polskie media, a następnie interwencji polityków, aukcja została wstrzymana. Trwają rozmowy o tym, jak trwale uniemożliwić podobny handel. W grę wchodzi nawet mechanizm prawny nakazujący automatyczne przekazywanie takich przedmiotów do Polski lub instytucji pamięci.Jednocześnie Instytut Pileckiego, mając już kopie części kolekcji, rozpoczął rekonstrukcję losów osób stojących za konkretnymi dokumentami.Odtwarzamy historię, szukamy informacji, co za każdym dokumentem, jaka historia się kryje– zapowiada Radziejowska. Wśród materiałów odnaleziono m.in. listy więźniarek Ravensbrück, członków pierwszego transportu do Auschwitz, dokumenty ofiar Majdanka czy ślady powiązane z działalnością grupy Ładosia.

Video link to this episode: https://youtu.be/IdA3uHWGEtgIn today's video, I'm honored to share with you the remarkable story of Nelly Grussgott. This footage was originally filmed on August 12, 2020—long before I had a YouTube channel. It was part of a project by filmmaker Pearl Gluck, conducted for a documentary she was making with scholar Naomi Seidman about the Bais Yaakov girls' school movement. Naomi invited me to assist with the interview, and I was there in the room when it was recorded.From the moment I met Nelly, I was completely taken by her. Her life story is one of immense pain and breathtaking resilience—a testimony to survival, transformation, and spirit. Just days after the interview, Nelly made Aliya—she moved to Israel—at the age of 90. We stayed in touch, and I even interviewed her again via Zoom for this channel. But this original interview, which has always felt so precious to me, was never publicly shared until now. With the blessing of Pearl and Naomi, I've edited it down and am releasing it here to preserve her memory and her voice for posterity.As of today, Nelly Grussgott is 95 years old—bless her soul, may she live to 120.Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1930, Nelly witnessed Kristallnacht as a young child. Her early childhood was comfortable—charmed, even—growing up as an only child in a pampered, middle-class Orthodox Jewish home. Her parents were not German-born: her mother, from Czechoslovakia, moved to Berlin at 24 and became successful in the rags/textile business. Her father was Hungarian, and both were deeply religious. Due to the hostility towards Orthodox Jews in Berlin, they adapted to a modern Orthodox lifestyle.In 1937, Nelly's father went to the United States to secure affidavits to bring his family to safety. He succeeded—but history intervened cruelly. While her father was still away, Nelly and her mother were forced out of their home and into an overcrowded apartment with five other Jewish families. One night, Nazi soldiers raided the apartment and took the men at gunpoint. Days later, ashes were returned to their wives in the mail.In a desperate move, Nelly's father returned to Europe in 1938—traveling to Belgium to reunite the family. It proved to be a devastating mistake. Nelly and her mother, Czechoslovakian citizens, were able to emigrate to the U.S. at the very last moment, getting papers as I understand it in late 1939 but actually coming "in the last hour" in Frebruary 1940. But because her father was Hungarian, and the Hungarian quota was closed, he remained trapped in Europe. His letters continued for several years, growing more despondent until, in 1942, they stopped entirely.In 1995, the Red Cross confirmed the fate the family had long feared: Nelly's father was deported to Majdanek, then to Sobibor in March 1943, where he was murdered, along with many relatives.Nelly's mother eventually remarried in America, joining with a Satmar Hasid who had also survived great loss. She thrived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—especially enjoying her later years on Lee Avenue, surrounded by familiar faces and warm greetings. Nelly herself chose a different path, remaining Orthodox but not Hasidic, and went on to raise a mainstream Orthodox family.I'm deeply grateful to finally bring this interview to light. May Nelly's story reach far and wide—and may we never forget.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-frieda-vizel-podcast--5824414/support.

During World War II, several thousand women served as concentration camp guards in Nazi Germany, particularly within the SS women’s auxiliary. These female guards—known as Aufseherinnen—were deployed mainly in camps like Ravensbrück (a women's camp), Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and Majdanek. Recruited largely from working-class backgrounds, many were trained at Ravensbrück before being assigned to other camps. … Continue reading Episode 460: SS Women – Female Concentration Camp Guards

Elle cherche à comprendre l'histoire de sa famille, tandis que lui n'a aucune envie de déterrer le passé.

Son régime a mis en place une forte centralisation du pouvoir, limitant les partis d'opposition, tout en cherchant à maintenir une position indépendante entre l'Allemagne nazie et l'Union soviétique. Mais en 1939, la situation bascule brutalement : le 1er septembre, l'Allemagne nazie envahit la Pologne, suivie le 17 septembre par l'invasion soviétique depuis l'est, conformément au pacte germano-soviétique. Le pays est alors démembré et occupé par les deux puissances.Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la Pologne subit des pertes humaines et matérielles immenses. Les nazis y organisent l'extermination des Juifs, notamment à Auschwitz, Treblinka et Majdanek, faisant de la Pologne le principal théâtre de la Shoah. Varsovie est détruite à plus de 80 %, notamment après l'insurrection de 1944. Malgré cela, une résistance intérieure intense se développe, tant contre les nazis que contre les Soviétiques. L'Armée de l'Intérieur (Armia Krajowa), fidèle au gouvernement polonais en exil à Londres, tente de libérer le pays avant l'arrivée de l'Armée rouge.À la fin de la guerre, en 1945, l'Union soviétique impose un régime communiste à la Pologne, malgré les engagements de Yalta. La République populaire de Pologne est proclamée, avec un gouvernement dominé par les communistes, sous le contrôle étroit de Moscou. Les décennies suivantes sont marquées par des tensions sociales, des pénuries économiques et une répression politique. En 1956, une première révolte éclate à Poznań, suivie d'un assouplissement temporaire sous Władysław Gomułka.Les années 1970 voient une modernisation économique financée par des emprunts occidentaux, sous la direction d'Edward Gierek, mais cette politique mène à une grave crise financière à la fin de la décennie. En 1980, une série de grèves dans les chantiers navals de Gdańsk donne naissance au syndicat indépendant Solidarność, dirigé par Lech Wałęsa. Ce mouvement de masse devient une force politique majeure, menaçant le pouvoir communiste.En décembre 1981, le général Wojciech Jaruzelski impose l'état de guerre pour réprimer Solidarność, mais le mouvement survit clandestinement. Après des années de pressions internes et internationales, le régime accepte d'ouvrir des négociations. En 1989, les accords de la Table ronde aboutissent à des élections partiellement libres : c'est la fin du régime communiste. Lech Wałęsa est élu président en 1990, symbolisant la transition pacifique vers la démocratie.Dans les années 1990, la Pologne amorce de profondes réformes économiques pour passer à l'économie de marché, non sans difficultés sociales. Elle entame également un rapprochement avec l'Europe occidentale et prépare son intégration future à l'Union européenne et à l'OTAN. Le pays tourne ainsi définitivement la page d'un demi-siècle de domination soviétique.En compagnie de l'historien Georges Mink, grand spécialiste de l'histoire de ce pays, et de Chochana Boukhobza, documentariste et spécialiste des camps de concentration, nous revenons sur toute cette période.

【聊了什么 The What】 「A Real Pain」是由我们很喜欢的杰西·艾森伯格(Jesse Eisenberg)编剧和导演的一部电影,讲述了两位性格迥异的表兄弟David(由艾森伯格饰演)和Benji(由基兰·卡尔金饰演)为纪念他们已故的祖母而一同前往波兰参加犹太传统之旅的故事。在波兰旅行期间,他们不仅探访祖母童年的家,还参观了华沙犹太区英雄纪念碑和马伊达内克集中营等历史遗迹。 这部电影像是一个隐形的视角,带着我们,跟堂兄弟俩一起走完了波兰黑暗之旅,电影中讨论了人的痛苦,或大或小,都同样真实——不仅是大屠杀的集体创伤,还有每个人无法消解的痛苦。 我们在这集播客聊了这部电影,以及几个女的如何思考和化解痛苦与创伤。 "A Real Pain" is a film written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg (who we kinda have crush on), telling the story of two cousins—David (played by Eisenberg) and Benji (played by Kieran Culkin)—who travel together to Poland on a Jewish heritage tour to honor their late grandmother. During their Polish journey, they visit their grandmother's childhood home and historical sites including the Warsaw Ghetto Heroes Monument and Majdanek concentration camp. The film offers an intimate perspective, following the cousins through Poland's “dark tour.” It explores how pain—whether monumental or mundane—is equally real for those experiencing it, addressing not only the collective trauma of the Holocaust but also each person's unresolvable individual suffering. In this episode, we discuss the film and how we, as women and friends, process and work through pain and trauma. 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡: 海外用户:https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户:https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱:cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信:CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022 【时间轴 The When】 00:01:00 电影介绍,这俩人演堂兄弟,证明我们在正确的宇宙次元 00:08:43 从一则弹窗广告被启发,到把"黑暗之旅"搬上银幕,这个电影可能是Jesse Eisenberg想了一辈子的故事 00:11:15 聊一聊集中营和火车的那段戏,PTSD,工业化屠杀 00:25:30 如何在巨大的犹太人屠杀的历史创伤中,理解个人的痛苦?从David和Benji中,转向我们对痛苦的理解 00:37:50 痛苦被倾诉后能不能被化解?这部电影是否有给我们一个答案 00:47:51 创伤叙事:国家主义和个人之间的冲突 00:01:00 Film introduction, these two actors playing cousins confirms we're in the right universe 00:08:43 From inspiration via a pop-up ad to bringing a "dark tourism" story to screen—this film may be the story Jesse Eisenberg has wanted to tell his entire life 00:11:15 Discussion of the concentration camp and train scenes, PTSD, and industrialized genocide 00:25:30 How to understand personal pain within the context of the enormous historical trauma of Jewish genocide?

The FCC has published the raw transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris following Donald Trump’s claims of CBS commiting “election interference.” What’s behind the president’s attack on the network? Also, Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive into the Emilia Pérez controversy as the film’s director speaks out against his leading actress. Plus, Masters speaks to Jesse Eisenberg about his Oscar nominated A Real Pain. The film's writer, director, and co-star talks about the challenges of capturing the complicated feelings of the descendents of holocaust survivors while still including humor. They also talk about the special relevance that Majdanek–the concentration camp the two cousins visit in the film–has for Masters.

Le 27 janvier 1945, des soldats de l'Armée rouge pénètrent dans le complexe d'Auschwitz : Assemblage de camps de travail, de concentration et d'extermination nazi. Plus d'un million de personnes y ont péri, pour la plupart de confession juive, mais aussi des tsiganes, des résistants ou des homosexuels. Le premier camp libéré fut Majdanek, en juillet 1944. La chronologie de la libération va s'étendre sur une période de 9 mois, elle suit l'avancée des troupes alliés. Que savait-on de ces camps avant 44 ? De quelle manière le rapatriement des déportés est organisé ? Le retour dans les pays d'origine va constituer une nouvelle épreuve. Les horreurs sont si difficiles à accepter pour les civils que, parfois, l'opinion publique est tentée de nier les faits. Certains survivants choisissent alors le silence. Comment faire vivre la mémoire quand les témoins directes disparaissent ? Avec nous : Johan Puttemans, coordinateur pédagogique , ASBL Mémoire d'Auschwitz - Fondation Auschwitz. Et Evelyne Guzy, autrice « La Malédiction des Mots » ; éd. Meo.

Bảo tàng Holocaust LA gần đây đã mở thêm một khu triển lãm mới được lắp đặt trên mái nhà: một toa chở hàng do Đức sản xuất được sử dụng để trục xuất người Do Thái trên khắp châu Âu đến trại tập trung Majdanek ở ngoại ô Lublin, Ba Lan.
When Jewish mathematician Pepi Mehlberg was offered a new identity as Countess Janina Suchodolska in Nazi-occupied Poland, she took that chance and used it - to join the underground resistance, feed thousands of Nazi prisoners every week, and eventually rescue over 10,000 Poles from Majdanek concentration camp. And she was just getting started. Our guests are Elizabeth White and Joanna Sliwa, authors of the new book The Counterfeit Countess: The Jewish Woman Who Rescued Thousands of Poles During the Holocaust.

Holokaust Židov z územia Slovenska je téma, ktorá sa periodicky objavuje v slovenských médiách. Najčastejšie práve v marci: 25. marca 1942 o pol deviatej večer vyrazil z Popradu prvý transport do vyhladzovacieho tábora Auschwitz - do dobytčích vagónov slovenskí gardisti a nemeckí esesáci nahnali 999 židovských dievčat - pre mnohé z nich to bola prvá a zároveň posledná cesta mimo domova. Vrátilo sa ich len pár. Holokaust je už roky predmetom intenzívneho výskumu: na verejnosť sa často dostáva len časť informácií, neraz chýbajú informácie o najnovších výsledkoch výskumu. Náš dnešný hosť pôsobí vo výskume dejín holokaustu Židov z územia Slovenska, ale tiež v medzinárodnom výskume holokaustu už takmer 21 rokov. Tento rozhovor je príležitosťou pozrieť sa práve na najnovší výskum holokaustu. Čo by nám nemalo uniknúť z aktuálneho výskumu? Naša pozornosť je dlhodobo zameraná najmä na Auschwitz: geografia holokaustu je však oveľa širšia: kam všade siahajú dejiny deportácie Židov zo Slovenska? A konkrétnejšie: čo vieme o táboroch Sobibor či Majdanek? Kto bol Dionýz Lénard a čo sa môžeme dozvedieť o tejto tragickej kapitole našich dejín práve cez jeho príbeh? Historička Agáta Šústová Drelová so rozprávala s historikom Jánom Hlavinkom. Dr. Ján Hlavinka je riaditeľom Dokumentačného strediska holokaustu a zároveň vedeckým pracovníkom Historického ústavu Slovenskej akadémie vied. Je takisto členom slovenskej delegácie v International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). Dr. Hlavinka je autorom viacerých monografií a štúdií o holokauste na Slovensku v rokoch 1938 - 1945, konkrétnejšie monografie Dôjsť silou-mocou na Slovensko a informovať...: Dionýz Lénard a jeho útek z koncentračného tábora Majdanek. Ako spoluautor sa podieľal na publikáciách: Spory o biskupa Vojtaššáka, Pracovný a koncentračný tábor v Seredi (v spoluautorstve s Eduardom Nižňanským), Slovenský štát: predstavy a realita (v spoluautorstve s Martinou Fiamovou a Michalom Schvarcom) a Tábor smrti Sobibor (v spoluautorstve s Petrom Salnerom). Najnovšie mu v anglickom preklade vyšla kniha o Dionýzovi Lénardovi: The Man Who Escaped From Majdanek: Dionýz Lénard and His Testimony. – Podporte podcasty denníka SME kúpou prémiového predplatného a užívajte si podcasty bez reklamy na webe SME.sk alebo v mobilnej aplikácii SME.sk.

World War II and the Holocaust have been the subject of many remarkable stories of resistance and rescue, but The Counterfeit Countess: The Jewish Woman Who Rescued Thousands of Poles during the Holocaust (Simon & Schuster, 2024) is unique. It tells the previously unknown story of “Countess Janina Suchodolska,” a courageous Jewish woman who rescued more than 10,000 Poles imprisoned by Nazi occupiers. Assuming the identity of a Polish aristocrat, Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg (born Pepi Spinner) worked as a welfare official, served in the Polish resistance, and persuaded the SS to release thousands from the Majdanek concentration camp. Drawing on Mehlberg's own unpublished memoir, supplemented with prodigious research, Elizabeth B. White and Joanna Sliwa, both historians and Holocaust experts, have reconstructed the story of this remarkable woman. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). His most recent writings appeared in The Atlantic and in Foreign Affairs. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939 and then the 1941 invasion of Soviet occupied-Poland brought an almost unimaginable scale of suffering to the people of Poland. And yet, in the midst of such terror, there were people who risked their lives to help those targeted for extermination. One of those was a woman posing as a Polish countess. Her real name was Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg. She was Jewish AND she was operating in Lublin, Poland – at the heart of the Nazi effort to destroy the Jews. Against all odds, she saved thousands of people. To share this amazing story, the MacArthur Memorial Podcast hosted Dr. Elizabeth “Barry” White one of the authors of The Counterfeit Countess: The Jewish Woman Who Rescued Thousands of Poles During the Holocaust.

On April 19, 1943 the SS attempted the final liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, with the goal of deporting the last Jews of the Ghetto to the gas chambers at Treblinka. Most entered their bunkers and the fighters began firing on the SS who had entered the Ghetto in order to commence the deportation. The SS retreated and their commander Jurgen Stroop resorted to burning down the entire ghetto which eventually crushed the uprising and the survivors were deported to Treblinka and Majdanek. This episode will attempt to clarify some of these events and explore some of the questions that hindsight affords the luxury of speculating. Was the armed resistance an exercise in futility? Would perhaps more have survived had they not resisted the attempt to deport the last ones to Treblinka?

När Leon är 12 år byggs en hög mur runt hans kvarter hemma i Warszawa. Nazityskland har ockuperat delar av Polen och startat andra världskriget. Och de stänger in judarna i getton. Hör alla avsnitten i Sveriges Radio Play. Leon är påhittig och lyckas smita ut ur gettot för att hämta mat åt sin hungriga familj. Matrundorna pågår i nästan två år. Men en dag stoppas han av SS-män som tvångsförflyttar arbetsdugliga pojkar till koncentrationslägret Majdanek. I ett annat getto, i staden Lodz tvingas 12-åriga Ester att sy uniformer åt den tyska krigsmakten. Hon har sett hur nazisterna väljer sina offer och är livrädd att familjen ska splittras.Leon och Ester kommer så småningom att mötas och bli kära. Under många år undviker de att prata om sina fruktansvärda upplevelser. Men när deras barnbarn Naomi ska göra ett specialarbete på gymnasiet börjar de trevande berätta om vad de varit med om under kriget. Och hon spelar in.

V Majdanku, ktorý sa nachádza na predmestí Lublinu, sme vyrazili po stopách beštiálnej nacistickej operácie, ktorej cieľom bolo čo najefektívnejšie vyvraždenie židov. Smutnou cestou po vyhladzovacích táboroch v Lublinskej oblasti nás sprevádzajú šéf Múzea holokaustu Martin Korčok a riaditeľ Múzea židovskej kultúry Michal Vanek.
