Podcasts about Ratline

This special episode focuses on Philippe Sands' latest book, 38 Londres Street – On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia. The title of Sands' new book refers to the address of Pinochet's torture centre in 38 London street, Santiago/Chile, and the quest to bring Pinochet to court for his deeds in London and Spain in the late 1990ies. Since the release of Philippe Sand's book in April 2025, several court cases have been started against Pinochet's officers in Chile. A second strand of the book is devoted to a member of Pinochet's staff, the Nazi engineer Walter Rauff. Famous as the constructor of the so-called “gas-waggons”, he was also notorious as a torturer and as an intelligence officer in Gestapo and Sicherheitsdienst during the 1940ies in the Nazi era, his specialty was “extraction of confessions”. He also is a protagonist of the so-called Ratline: in the post-war, he escaped several imprisonment camps and evaded justice. Like many Nazi perpetrators he emigrated to Latin America in the 1950ies and subsequently rose to new positions, with old duties. The book gives full account  of Rauffs involvement in the murders of the Pinochet intelligence agency DINA and their torture camps during the 1970ies, and his heinous practice to let people “disappear” in fishmeal factories.   Special Hosts & Moderators: Prof. Dr. Kerstin von Lingen, Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Vienna; historian Dr. Linda Erker from the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW); MA history student Bruno Stern and journalist Klaus Taschwer (“Der Standard”, Vienna).

De 4 mei-herdenking is afgelopen jaren gepolitiseerd geraakt door verhitte debatten over wie we herdenken en op welke manier. Tegelijkertijd neemt de kennis over de Shoah onder jongeren af. Waarom is herdenken belangrijk?Die vraag beantwoordt schrijver en jurist Philippe Sands in een lezing in De Balie waarin hij dieper ingaat op vernietiging en ondergang in het Derde Rijk. Sands analyseert hoe de herinnering aan genocide de manier waarop we omgaan met hedendaagse conflicten en onrecht beïnvloedt. De Shoah, als een van de donkerste hoofdstukken in de geschiedenis, herinnert ons niet alleen aan de miljoenen slachtoffers, maar ook aan de gevaren van haat, vooroordelen en onbeperkte macht.Na afloop van de lezing in het Engels volgt een panelgesprek in het Nederlands met Arnon Grunberg, Judith Belinfante en Nico Schrijver en houdt ook Jaap Goudsmit een lezing.Philippe Sands (1960) is een Brits-Franse jurist, hoogleraar en auteur, gespecialiseerd mensenrechten en internationaal recht. Sands was betrokken bij verschillende internationale strafzaken, waaronder die van de Chileense juntaleider Pinochet. Sands schreef verschillende bekroonde boeken, waaronder Galicische wetten (2016) en The Ratline (2020), over internationaal recht, genocide en nazisme.Programmamaker: Eloïse KasiusModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Simon and Rachel speak to the author and lawyer Philippe Sands. He is the author of books including "East West Street", which won the Baillie Gifford prize in 2016 and the British Book Awards Non-Fiction Book of the Year in 2017, and "The Ratline" in 2020. His latest book is "The Last Colony" (2022). Philippe's work has been translated into more than 30 languages. In parallel to his writing career, Philippe is Professor of the Public Understanding of Law at University College London and a practising barrister at 11 Kings Bench Walk.

Come è stato possibile che, verso la fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, militari americani ed esponenti del Vaticano si siano accordati con i loro nemici mortali, gerarchi e militari nazisti, per sottrarre alla giustizia un gran numero di criminali di guerra e per garantire a molti nazisti una nuova vita in paesi all'epoca fascisti come la Spagna o simpatizzanti come il Sudamerica? Che sistemi sono stati usati e chi ha dato la caccia a questi criminali?Aderisci alla pagina PATREON e sostieni i miei progetti e il mio lavoro: http://patreon.com/massimopolidoroPartecipa e sostieni su TIPEEE il progetto del mio Tour 2022 in tutta Italia: https://it.tipeee.com/massimopolidoroScopri i miei corsi online:https://www.massimopolidorostudio.comRicevi l'Avviso ai Naviganti, la mia newsletter settimanale: https://mailchi.mp/massimopolidoro/avvisoainavigantie partecipa alle scelte della mia communitySeguimi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/massimopolidoro/Gruppo FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MassimoPolidoroFanClubPagina FB: https://www.facebook.com/Official.Massimo.PolidoroTwitter: https://twitter.com/massimopolidoroSito e blog: http://www.massimopolidoro.comIscriviti al mio canale youtube: https://goo.gl/Xkzh8A

In the aftermath of WW2, war criminals scatter to the four winds. Using international escape routes known as 'Ratlines', scores of Nazis begin new lives in South America. Among them is one of the Holocaust's chief architects - Adolf Eichmann. In Part One of this two-part story, Sophia Di Martino explores the origins of an audacious Mossad operation in 1960s Argentina. Told by a cast of experts and descendants of central figures inside the mission, this is the story of how Eichmann was finally brought to justice. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets.

Autumn is the time for literary festivals, including the mighty 10-day Cheltenham Literature Festival, London's South Bank, the small but beautifully formed Cliveden and many more including Bridport, Petworth, Stratford, Henley, Harrogate, North Cornwall, Braemar and more. But this week we're going to war-torn Ukraine to feature the Lviv Book Forum, in collaboration with Hay Festival, which runs in a bomb shelter between 6th and 9th October. We talk to the courageous and undaunted Programme Director, Sofiya Chelyak, and to the human rights KC, Philippe Sands, celebrated author of East West Street, The Ratline and a new book The Last Colony. Philippe will be attending the extraordinary festival alongside Henry Marsh, Misha Glenny, Margaret Atwood, Yuval Noah Harari, Elif Shafak and Margaret MacMillan. It's actually the 29th edition of the Lviv Book Forum, Ukraine's biggest literary festival, but given the war it's had to be shrunk and with Hay's support, it's defiantly going ahead with just 40 writers. As its digital partner for the first time, Hay will broadcast the conversations free in English, Ukrainian, and Spanish. Sofiya describes the festival as running ‘in defiance of the evil that seeks to squash their freedom,' and so we applaud and admire its efforts to keep these vital conversations alive and deepen our understanding of this little-known, vast and complex country.

Professor Philippe Sands, 2022 honorary doctor at the Faculty of Theology, gives a lecture entitled, "East and West, to the Ratline, and Beyond. On Memory, Identity and Rights". Introduction by Professor Stephan Borgehammar, Dean of the Faculty of Theology. Recorded at LUX, 2 June, 2022.

Philippe Sands, leading international law and human rights barrister, Professor of Law at UCL and presenter of The Ratline, is joined by Dave Butler BEM, a former British spy active in Berlin during the Cold War. In an episode that covers Nazi plots, the redrawing of boundaries and incursions over enemy lines, we also hear from the Spymaster himself, David John Moore Cornwell, AKA John le Carré, thanks to archive audio recorded by his neighbour Philippe. Series Producer: Paulo Garrett. A Cup and Nuzzle Production. From Spyscape, the home of secrets.

One way Philippe Sands has described his extraordinary new book The Ratline is as “a sort of Nazi love story”. While there is certainly a love-story between two Nazis at its heart—specifically the marriage of Otto and Charlotte Wachter—The Ratline is so much more than that. It's an investigation into the escape routes used by high-ranking German officials after the end of the Second World War, that reads at times, like a spy-thriller. It's a study of memory, responsibility and guilt. It's an examination of the self-deception that filial duty can engender. And it's an exploration of the geopolitical, ideological and historical fault-lines that are still making themselves felt, and horrendously so, today.Buy The Ratline here: https://shakespeareandcompany.com/I/9781474608145/the-ratline-love-lies-and-justice-on-the-trail-of-a-nazi-fugitive*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Philippe Sands is an international lawyer and, since 2018, the president of English PEN.

The Fall of Ceaușescu in 1989 ended 42 years of Communist rule in Romania. How did the experience of living through that make its way into fiction? Georgina Harding published In Another Europe: A Journey To Romania in 1990 and followed that with a novel The Painter of Silence, set in Romania of the 1950s. Mircea Cărtărescu was born in 1956 and has published novels, poems and essays. In the novel Nostalgia published in 1989, he looks at communist Bucharist in the 80's, in a dreamlike narrative seen in part through the eyes of children and young adults. Philippe Sands has chronicled Jewish histories in Eastern Europe in his books and podcast series The Ratline. He recommends Mihail Sebastian's book For Two Thousand Years.

Today's storyteller is Dr Cynthia Awruch! Cynthia is a marine biologist studying sharks of Argentina and Tasmania. She's researching shark physiology and reproduction, how physiology helps conservation, and how marine contaminants negatively impact shark reproduction. Today we talk all about her research, and dive into how physiology does impact shark conservation, which I found very interesting. They figured out a way to use hormones (via blood samples) to understand reproduction and stress, which is great because it's nonlethal and doesn't remove individuals from an already struggling population! We also have a really good conversation about communication and the importance of social sciences in the physical sciences, and about balancing work, research, school, and life.

I wanted to ramble with Mr. Levenda for a long time, and I was delighted when he finally got back to me. Still, I was not prepared for the sheer amount of information we went through in the hour we spent together: from discussing his upcoming book with Jeffrey D. Evans and a new possible solution to the Riddle of AL (something for the Thelemites out there), to his extensive involvement with the ongoing disclosure project related to the UFO/UAP phenomena, and much more. We also got a surprise appearance by Nathan Isaac of Penny Royal Podcast, and we might have gotten the final answer on who wrote Simon's Necronomicon. _ Find Peter: http://www.peterlevenda.com Find Marco: http://www.marcovisconti.org Join us on Patreon to participate live to the next episode: http://www.patreon.com/marcovisconti _ WHO'S OUR GUEST TONIGHT?

Efni Lestarinnar í dag: The Ratline er ný hlaðvarpsþáttaröð frá breska ríkisútvarpinu, BBC. Yfirskrift þáttar hljóðar einhvern veginn svona: nasistar, njósnarar, ást, dauði, leyndardómar og lygar. Í þessari tíu þátta seríu er kafað ofan í sögu Ottos von Wächter, háttsetts liðsforinga í SS-sveitunum, sem náði að flýja réttarhöldin í Nürnberg. Wachter nýtti sér flóttakerfi sem kom fjölda stórglæpamönnum nasista undan réttvísinni, sér í lagi til Suður-Ameríku. Flóttakerfi þetta er gjarnan nefnt rottuleiðir (Ratline). Nánar verður fjallað um fyrirbærið í þætti dagsins með hjálp sagnfræðingsins Þórs Whitehead, sem og hlaðvarpssþáttaröðina The Ratline frá BBC. Einnig verður rætt við Jón Karl Helgason, prófessor við íslensku- og menningardeild Háskóla Íslands, en í erindi sem hann heldur í Reykholti um helgina mun hann leitast við að tengja saman dauða skáldanna Snorra Sturlusonar og Guðmundar Kambans, og virða um leið fyrir sér hugsanleg tengsl þeirra við árið 1918 og skrif Sigurðar Nordals. Erindið nefnir Jón: „Eigi skal höggva: Jeg er ligeglad“. Lausbeislaðar hugleiðingar um fullveldið og karlveldið. Hljómsveitin Gusgus er danstónlistarmekka, tekknó-ráðuneyti og æðsta húsið í íslenskri danstónlist. Gusgus lék fyrir tveimur fullum húsum í Eldborgarsal Hörpu síðasta laugardagskvöld og útsendari Lestarinnar var á svæðinu. Umsjón: Anna Gyða Sigurgísladóttir og Eiríkur Guðmundsson

In the final episode of The Ratline, the Persilschein and denial continue. Charlotte Wachter finally brings Otto home. Philippe takes a forensic look at how Otto died and returns to Hagenberg to confront Horst with some new evidence. In this episode, Dame Sue Black is incorrectly described as a forensic pathologist.
