Spring 2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the end of World War II. We're kicking off this season, focused on WWII, by discussing Ravensbrück concentration camp, the only camp purpose built for women under the Nazi regime. In this first of two parts, we take a look at whom this camp was built for, who ran it day to day, and how it changed dramatically over the course of it's life. We also discuss the concentration camp system more generally, contextualising it along side our knowledge as guides of the former concentration camp Sachsenhausen.(ALSO, apologies Pip mixed up Sylvia Salvesen, who was from Norway not Sweden!)CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of concentration camp, torture, death.Sources:Ravensbruck: Life and Death in Hitler's Concentration Camp for Women, Sarah HelmKL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps by Nikolaus Wachsmann++++++You can get in touch and book Jonny or Pip for a tour of Berlin via www.whitlams-berlin-tours.com.Don't forget to subscribe for more Berlin history every two weeks!++++++Donations keep us running.

The Allied soldiers who liberated the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in April 1945 were faced with scenes of horror and privation. With breathtaking thoroughness, Distance from the Belsen Heap: Allied Forces and the Liberation of a Nazi Concentration Camp (U Toronto Press, 2015) documents what they saw and how they came to terms with those images over the course of the next seventy years. On the basis of research in more than seventy archives in four countries, Mark Celinscak analyses how these military personnel struggled with the intense experience of the camp; how they attempted to describe what they had seen, heard, and felt to those back home; and how their lives were transformed by that experience. He also brings to light the previously unacknowledged presence of hundreds of Canadians among the camp's liberators, including noted painter Alex Colville. Distance from the Belsen Heap examines the experiences of hundreds of British and Canadian eyewitnesses to atrocity, including war artists, photographers, medical personnel, and chaplains. A study of the complicated encounter between these Allied soldiers and the horrors of the Holocaust, Distance from the Belsen Heap is a testament to their experience.

While there were several female guards who served in Nazi concentration and extermination camps during World War II, it's important to note that not all of them were directly involved in heinous activities, and their roles varied. The most notorious female guards were often associated with concentration camps. Here are the names of five such women:Ilse Koch: Known as the "Witch of Buchenwald," Ilse Koch was the wife of Karl-Otto Koch, the commandant of Buchenwald concentration camp. She gained notoriety for her cruelty and was accused of engaging in sadistic acts against prisoners.Irma Grese: Irma Grese was a notorious SS guard at Ravensbrück, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. She was known for her extreme brutality and participated in the selection process for the gas chambers.Maria Mandl: Maria Mandl was an SS Aufseherin (female overseer) and served as the commandant of the female camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. She was involved in the extermination process and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of prisoners.Herta Bothe: Herta Bothe served as a guard at Ravensbrück, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. She was convicted of war crimes and served prison time after the war.Dorothea Binz: Dorothea Binz was an SS supervisor at Ravensbrück concentration camp. She was known for her brutal treatment of female prisoners and was involved in various war crimes.(commercial at 9:47)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As the war in Europe was winding down in the spring of 1945, exhausted troops probably thought they were immune to being shocked. But knowledge of the atrocities committed in Nazi concentration camps was on the horizon. Nothing could have prepared them for that. Hank Josephs of Corpus Christi served in Intelligence & Reconnaissance during the war and recalls checking out reports of a concentration camp near the town of Dachau in late April of '45: "We got there, and the first thing we saw was a sign over the entrance which says, Work Will Make You Free, ‘Arbeit Macht Frei.' We went through the gate, and we shot a few Germans. They were escaping. I looked at the—at the prisoners in their striped garb, so filthy and decimated. One of them moved. And I went over to him, and he said, ‘Bist a Yid?' Are you Jewish? I said, ‘Ich bin a Yid.' I am Jewish. And then I told him, ‘Alles geet. Alles geet.' I speak a little Yiddish. ‘Alles geet. Alles geet.' All is good. All is good. And I opened my C ration and fed him a little soup. And I asked him what his name was. He said, ‘Meine namen ist Herman.' ‘Ich.' My name is Herman, too. He died two hours later in my arms." Wilson Canafax of Fort Worth was a member of the 1110th Engineer Combat Group and heard about the Buchenwald concentration camp shortly after it was liberated. He decided to go see what it was and describes encountering a former inmate: "Before I got to the front entrance, there was a young fellow, came up to me speaking perfect English. And he said, ‘I see you have a cross on your lapel. Are you a chaplain?' I said yes. He said, ‘Think you could do us a favor?' I said, ‘Well, I can try.' It turned out that this person talking to me was the young fellow Eliezer Wiesel, who's known better today as Elie Wiesel. And he said, ‘I'd like to take you through some parts of the camp here.' Went through the main entrance, and as you've heard the expression ‘dead men walking,' that's the way the people looked. I went to several of them, some who could speak English, and I'd talk a little bit with them." Canafax explains he also led Jewish worship services, which was the second request of the young man: "So many of them had—wanted nothing to do with religion, but those who were genuine in their faith and there was the opportunity to come to a worship service, they came. We got our carryalls, those big trucks, and put the people who could be carried in those things to a place where we could have a worship service. They had to be lifted on. They had to be carried on, crying. They never thought they'd be alive. And we had some little prayer books that were distributed among those that wanted them. And on one side of it was Hebrew, Hebrew prayers. The other side was English. So as they went through the service in Hebrew, then I could follow along in English itself. They cried. They shouted. When they got through, they just raising hands, sort of like our Pentecostals today raise their—they were just raising their hands in joy." When the Nazi camps were liberated in Europe, Americans were encouraged to visit them, creating thousands of witnesses to this dark chapter of history. This edition of Living Stories was made possible by a grant from the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission to the Institute for Oral History. Josephs recalls the first time he entered the infamous gate into Dachau Concentration Camp. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tune in as Arthur's pal Kate comes back around to the program for a breakdown of Schindler's List, the 1993 Holocaust drama that covers the real-life tale of German industrialist and Nazi Party member Oskar Schindler as he ends up using his factory work to rescue over a thousand Jews. Considering the genocide that Israel has been committing against Palestine for the past nine months (or really, for decades), it's timely to go back through history and focus on a previous genocide. Frustrations with the sanitization of the dickweasel parts of Schindler's life, the movie's choice to draw parallels between Schindler and Nazi Amon Göth, and the hosts' favorite film composers comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, Embeth Davidtz, Ezra Dagan, Wojciech Klata, Bettina Kupfer, and Ludger Pistor.

In this episode, Dr. Waitman Beorn shares his expertise on what he refers to as "the Nazi genocidal project" which includes not only the mass murder of European Jews in the Holocaust but also the systematic murder of other populations with a focus on Eastern Europe. As Dr. Beorn notes, many have suggested that the unimaginably violent fighting in Eastern Europe was the exception, compared to the fighting in Western Europe, but historic evidence suggests the reverse is more accurate. Dr. Beorn's books are linked below.

The strikingly handsome couple looked like they'd stepped straight out of a Hollywood motion picture from the glamorous golden era. The reality was somewhat different.Anka and Bernd met in Nazi occupied Prague, in 1940 and it was love at first sight across a crowded nightclub. Like it was for so many young couples in wartime a whirlwind courtship ensued followed by a wedding. In December 1941, Anka and Bernd were amongst the first transports sent to Terezin, the first camp in Czechoslovakia where they remained for three years. During their time at Terezin, and despite the sexes being segregated, Anka became pregnant with a son. When the Nazis discovered this they were forced to sign a document stating that when the baby was born, it would have to be handed over to the Gestapo to be murdered. In the event, her baby son died of pneumonia two months after his birth.Anka fell pregnant again and this time tried her hardest to keep her pregnancy a secret, knowing full well what would happen should her SS captors discover it.Soon after she fell pregnant, Bernd was deported to Auschwitz in Sept 1944. Heartbreakingly Anka followed him. She was the eternal optimist and thought that as they had survived that long nothing could get any worse…Anka was at Auschwitz for ten days, a time she described as being like ‘Dante's Inferno, hell on earth.' Being young and fit, she was sent to work in a factory near Dresden as slave labour, never to see her husband again. By the spring of 1945 the Germans were retreating and evacuating concentration and slave labour camps. Anka, by now looking like, in her words, ‘a scarcely living pregnant skeleton' was transported on a filthy open coal wagon to Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, a horrendous journey that took seventeen days. She weighed 5 stone. So horrified was she to see that she had arrived at yet another concentration camp she immediately went into labour. It's hard to conceive of the following scene. Anka, surrounded by the dead and dying, giving birth in the squalor of a coal wagon. An SS guard walked past and noticed. ‘Carry on screaming,' he told her. Baby Eva came into a cruel world weighing just 3 pounds. Anka attributed her and her baby daughter's survival to luck and timing. The day before she gave birth the Nazis ran out of Zyklon B gas. The day after she gave birth Hitler committed suicide. Soon after Mauthausen was liberated by the Americans.Returning to Prague with her tiny newborn baby girl, Anka stayed with relatives who had also survived the Holocaust. To her devastation she discovered her husband, parents, and two sisters had been murdered at Auschwitz.  Bernd was shot dead near Auschwitz in January 1945, just one week before the camp was liberated. He never knew his wife had fallen pregnant again.Anka met Karel Bergman, a Czech who had fought with the RAF during the war, and moved to Cardiff in 1948 to start a new life.  78 years on, Eva shares her astonishing story. Please be warned, there are some distressing scenes described in this episode.This is one of the most emotional interviews I've done. It reveals not only the depth of the atrocities committed in some of the foulest spots on earth,  but also that life hung on chance, degrees of fate, turn left, turn right, a flick of the whip. Buried within this story are also tiny fragments of humanity that have the power to change a life.How I wish I'd met Eva's extraordinary mother Anka who lived to 96 years old and never tired of telling her daughter ‘You don't know what you can withstand until you are put to the test.'

What is the difference between the doctor known as the “Angel of Death” in Nazi Germany who was allowed to mutilate children for human experimentation in the Nazi Concentration Camps and the doctors today who are allowed to mutilate children all over America calling it “Gender Affirming Care”?  The difference?

As the first Russian bombs drop on Oulu, Finland in early 1940 during the Winter War, Aarne Kovala is a young boy with a great love of the sea. While the war rages, Aarne takes fate into his own hands and joins the Finnish merchant marines. He spends his days delivering war materials between Finland, Poland, and Germany. But when Finland's ties with Germany are severed after the signing of the Moscow Armistice in 1944, Aarne and his fellow sailors are arrested by the Nazis and sent by cattle car to the infamous Stutthof concentration camp deep in the Polish forest. And thus begins Aarne's horrific struggle to survive amid dreadful living conditions, scarce food, and grueling work details. In the only letter he is allowed to send home, he prays, “I hope the day soon dawns that we again may meet.” But after months of dark nights and even darker days, how long can his hope survive? Liisa Kovala's book Surviving Stutthof: My Father's Ordeal in a Nazi Concentration Camp (Latitude 46, 2017) is a tale of survival, hope, and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit.

As the first Russian bombs drop on Oulu, Finland in early 1940 during the Winter War, Aarne Kovala is a young boy with a great love of the sea. While the war rages, Aarne takes fate into his own hands and joins the Finnish merchant marines. He spends his days delivering war materials between Finland, Poland, and Germany. But when Finland's ties with Germany are severed after the signing of the Moscow Armistice in 1944, Aarne and his fellow sailors are arrested by the Nazis and sent by cattle car to the infamous Stutthof concentration camp deep in the Polish forest. And thus begins Aarne's horrific struggle to survive amid dreadful living conditions, scarce food, and grueling work details. In the only letter he is allowed to send home, he prays, “I hope the day soon dawns that we again may meet.” But after months of dark nights and even darker days, how long can his hope survive?

In 2009, Rudolf Brazda, one of the last known survivors of the Pink Triangles, returned to the former site of Buchenwald concentration camp where he'd been imprisoned during World War Two, for being gay in Nazi Germany. In never previously broadcast recordings, taped by Jean-Luc Schwab, who wrote Rudolf's biography, we hear Rudolf's reaction to returning as a 95-year-old man. Jean-Luc Schwab who became friends with Rudolf in the last few years of his life, speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma. This programme contains distressing details. (Photo: Rudolf Brazda.

Join Dr. Bashah and I in this series regarding the 7 steps to regain your agency.  Addictive ideologies promoted by the nightly news, political parties, candidates and social media can rob you of your ability to see the world clearly, and benefit from its opportunities.    This episode begins with Viktor Frankl's experience in Nazi Concentration Camps and the development of his Logotherapy that is very successful in helping people deal with fears and suicidal thoughts through meaning.   We then transition to how we can unknowingly be in a victim mindset, how to break free, to motivate ourselves and find true happiness, that can only come from meaning.   To support the podcast and spread our message, forward this episode to others you think it may be helpful too.   We are The Optimistic American, and we are in the business of promoting what is going right in our country. Every day, there is tremendous progress being made in America — across technology, public policy, science and medicine, and much more — that will set current and future generations up for success.

This is a rebroadcast from April 5, 2021: In today's edition of Bring It On!, hosts Clarence Boone and William Hosea tackle the little covered topic of Black people in Nazi concentration camps. During the Nazi era and the Second World War, many Black German citizens were persecuted, deported, and ultimately killed by the Nazis …

In April 1945, weeks before the Nazi defeat, nine women made a last-ditch escape from the concentration camp at Ravensbruck. The group, who had all been imprisoned for resistance activity, then undertook a perilously 10-day journey across Nazi frontlines. In today's episode, Dan speaks to Gwen Strauss, whose great-aunt was among the nine, about how she uncovered the details of this incredible escape whilst researching her book.

Sam Silberberg was 10 years old when he was living with his family in Poland in 1939 and the Nazis invaded.  Already enduring widespread anti-semitism, Jews in Poland were rounded up and shipped off to death camps by the thousands.  Wit and grit enabled Sam to evade capture for many months while providing goods through underground markets to his fellow Jews.  Eventually Sam was captured and worked as a slave in the Blechhammer concentration camp - a subcamp of Auschwitz - with his father.  Toward the end of the war, Sam was able to escape and find his mother.  Sam then moved to the newly created nation of Israel, which he also fought to defend, before moving to the United States in 1952.  He remained quiet about his experience in the Holocaust for about 50 years, but then chose to open up and write his book, "From Hell to the Promised Land: a Boy's Daring Escape from a Nazi Concentration Camp," which you can buy on Amazon.  Sam is now 92 and lives with his wife in southern California.  He continues to educate people about the Holocaust, and many of his interviews can be found on YouTube.***Follow the Greg Krino Show here...GregKrino.comYouTubeInstagramFacebookTwitterLinkedInIf you enjoyed the podcast, please leave a short review on your podcast app. It takes only a minute, and it really helps convince popular guests to join me.If you have comments or ideas for the show, please contact me at gregkrinoshow@gmail.com.

In this episode, I talk about a recent book I read, "Man's Search For Meaning," by Viktor Frankl. Everyone comes across the question, "What is the meaning of life?" We will discuss how Viktor found his meaning while surviving a Nazi Concentration Camp.

Cultpix has now been going for one month and we look back on what feel more like six months of intense work to make the world's leading streaming service for classical cult and genre films everything its members expect it to be. As we also celebrate VE Day and 86 years since the end of WW2, we look at all things Nazi on the big screen (and almost manage to avoid doing silly German accents), for our weekly film theme.We look at documentaries by and about Nazi's, including Leni Riefenstahl's notorious Triumph of the Will / Triumph des Willens (1935) and why the father of the founder of Synapse Films that we licensed it from, who was himself a Holocaust survivor, deemed it important to release the film, saying, "Jerry, you MUST release the film, lest we forget." To balance it we also stream the Nazi Concentration Camps (1945) documentary shown at the Nurnberg War Crimes Trials and discuss Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder's involvement in concentration camp documentaries. We then look at US exploitation films made during the war, including Bela Lugosi's Black Dragons (1942), which pre-dates The Manchurian Candidate in its plot; Hitler - Dead or Alive (1942), where a gang of ex-bounty hunters go to Germany to catch Hitler, for one million dollars; and Enemy of Women (1944), which charts the fall and rise of Joseph Goebbels, a weakling harassing women, who went from failed play writer to Propaganda Minister of the Third Reich. This is followed by the first of the so-called Nazisploitations films that proliferated in the 1970s and 80s. Love Camp 7 (1969), in which two American Lieutenants with photographic memories and big breasts, volunteer to infiltrate Love Camp 7, a women's POW camp in Nazi Germany.  We chart how this led to the rise of the Nazisploitation genre in USA and Italy and films such as Ilsa She Wolf of the SS and its many sequels. Finally, there is the bastar offspring of the Nazisploitation that take things to a whole new ridiculous level with Black Gestapo (1975), a crazed blaxplo-nazisploitation film that seeks to equate the Black Panther movement with the Nazis. There is also SS Operation Wolfcub (1983), a legendary US porn star (Harry Reams) in an erotic director's film (Joe Sarno), with no sex! What were they thinking? Slap 'Nazi' or 'SS' on anything to make it instantly appealing as showcasing the ultimate of evils. To end on a high note we conclude with Schichlegruber - Doing the Lambeth Walk, a 1942 two-minute propaganda film by Charles A. Ridley of the UK Ministry of Information. It remixes Triumph of the Will to a song the Nazis hated and went viral during the war. Watch the "Gestapo Hep-Cats" goose-stepping in the style of Ministry of Silly Walks and Hitler made to look ridiculous. See the full video here:  Lambeth Walk: Nazi Style - by Charles A. Ridley (1941) 

Mitch and the team are joined by Peter Iliyn, a servant leader who dives deep into his family history and the principles he learned from people like Holocaust survivor Vicktor Frankl, world leader Desmond Tutu, and, most importantly, Peter's own father. The show begins as Mitch introduces Peter Iliyn, a 45-year veteran of Youth With a Mission, the largest non-profit of its kind in the world. They dive into the great debate on whether college is a good choice for those with entrepreneurial spirits. Peter reminds us that passion should be the driving force behind purpose and that if you don't take the first step, there will never be a second. The conversation shifts to Peter's father, a man so interesting that Peter wrote a book about his life. Through nightly conversation with his dad, Peter learned leadership principles that can't be found in a textbook or classroom, including one where his dad endured a public, verbal lashing of his dad's abilities…and the surprising way his father responded to hearing so many painful criticisms about himself. Mitch asks Peter about his favorite leadership principle and Peter responds with the principle of empowerment from the top down. There's lots of conversation about security in who you are as a person and a leader and being able to turn criticism into a better version of yourself. Mitch brings up a quote from his own time with Youth With a Mission -- You don't know you're a servant until you're treated like one – which sparks a conversation about humility and servant leadership. Peter recalls the time he was surrounded by dozens of world leaders, but that Desmond Tutu was the only one who truly exemplified servant leadership. We could give you the background of the next segment, but we believe this quote can stand on its own: Dude, what is your problem? You farted. Moving on from that odiferous conversation, the pair settle on discussing Peter's favorite leadership principle – having a vision that's greater than your reach. Peter brings up Nazi Concentration Camp survivor Viktor Frankl and Viktor's discovery about the human spirit. The interview wraps up on three key topics – does Peter buy into the idea that an entrepreneur doesn't have to own a company or a product, a bottom-up leadership model, and what 2021 Peter would say to 25-year-old Peter if he could. After such a deep conversation, Peter and Mitch are hungry and Peter recommends a quick flight to Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. He wants to go to Marlin de Tepic Restaurante de Marsicos and order the Pescado Zarandeado, a red snapper, smothered in chili and Mexican spices, basted continuously while being slowly smoked over mesquite. It's served with fresh greens and a Mexican lime and salt dressing. Table Talk: After introducing The Whole Enchilada team – Gil, Erin, and Isaac – the group launches into their own personal takeaways from the interview. Erin cites the story of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and his major gaffe during Texas' legendary snowpocalypse in February. He made his mistake, he owned it, and he moved on. Mitch sees things a little differently but agrees that the humility to admit you're wrong is a key principle for all leaders. It all goes back to the story of Peter's dad being called out publicly – and the way he responded to it. Isaac picks up the conversation by going back to Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl and his quote “Living without a goal is death about to arrive.” Isaac relates this to his own season of life, as he embarks on social media consultancy. The goal is big…but taking small, meaningful steps makes it easier to reach the top. Also…how do you eat an elephant? Gil, with lots of humility, states that he has picked out the most important leadership principle thus far; the secret sauce of corporate communications: storytelling. Gil incorporates Peter Guber, CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, and his philosophies of how to make your story your strategic plan. Finally, Mitch chimes in with his favorite principle: treat people with greatness. He goes back to the Desmond Tutu story and waxes philosophical about being in the presence of greatness but not knowing it until later. Growth as a leader means learning to recognize greatness in its rawest form.

The first episode in our Podcast documentary and first season in production features an introduction to our series , which will be profiling various leaders from the last half of the 20th Century , and the lessons in leadership we so desperately need to learn  from them. In this first episode, we profile a surprising figure, Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. He began his career as an Education Superintendent in Edgefield, South Carolina, then became a Judge, then landed at D-Day in a glider, helped liberate Nazi Concentration Camps, and came home to be elected a State Senator , Governor and, as a write in candidate, to the United States Senate. He would serve for 48 years until he reached the age of 100. He was a staunch Segregationist, who once talked on the Senate floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes in opposition to the 1957 Civil Rights Bill. But as the world changed, and South Carolina changed, he changed with it. He made a conscious decision to change and this symbol of the Old South became instrumental in opening the door to the New South. It was an enormously important decision to change, whether  sincere or calculated, and it sets an example many of us can learn from about not fighting the same old battles over and over again.  

Following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in March of 1938, Robert Eisler wrote to Oxford asking about being appointed to the Wilde Readership in Comparative and Natural Religion, thereby gaining a way out of Nazi-controlled Europe. On the day after Hitler held a rally at the Heldenplatz in Vienna attended by 200,000 Austrian supporters, a letter came expressing regret that Oxford was unable to offer any assistance. Desperate to find an escape, Eisler wrote to friends all over Europe and America, asking for help. Finally, Gilbert Murray, Eisler's old friend from his days with the League of Nations, stepped in and secured him the Oxford readership, which he was to have taken in October and held for three years. But on May 20th, Eisler was arrested and spent the next fifteen months in Dachau and Buchenwald, where he would see the things that inspired him to write Man into Wolf. I talk about the events of 1938 with Steven Beller and we also examine the case of a high-ranking S.S. officer who was expelled for plagiarizing Eisler's work on Jesus.
