We have an admitted fixation on women who are spies. This episode focuses on women in WW2 who put it all on the line to fight fascism…and defeat Nazis. Not all of these women were spies, but some were. Some of these women are decorated heroines. Some were executed. Some had to keep their achievements a secret for many years. Some were very young. All of them were absolute badasses! Ever heard of Ravensbrück? It was one of the largest women's concentration camps and neither of us had ever heard of it!! Well now we have and so have you! https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/ravensbrueck**(CW: this episode briefly discusses rape as a weapon of war)Below are the other episodes where we discuss women who were mostly non military that furthered the cause via spying, tricking, and dangerous things having pockets… be inspired ;)Ep 20 - Spies Like Us https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ZzV5EfTuBIbpBVUZyF9MWEp 26 - Spy Bitches of the Revolution https://open.spotify.com/episode/5jyo0DubkDKCF1Ss6aRLubEp 50 - Civil War Lady Spieshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5PWDqYDkqpF9gUMNul67YGEp 70 - The Hidden Women of the Revolutionary Warhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0Hqq6syGSlNThDawnw972vEp 71 - Women of the French Revolution - they weren't just at home making cheese, Pierre!https://open.spotify.com/episode/4RDIiwR85fm6xzrTk1zk0PEp 88 - the Real Housewives of the Revolution https://open.spotify.com/episode/46AK34dMhC8RvW5fzLy3JREp 95 - the Ladies Behind the Plot that Tricked Hitler https://open.spotify.com/episode/13ftY6LstQXmnBIxe1cxPP++++++++++Blog: https://kellymcclain.blogspot.com/2025/08/women-who-kicked-nazi-ass-nancy-wake.htmlEmail: heybitches@bitchstory.netWe insert zero ads and have no subscription fees.

Alex Miozzi"Sulle tracce di Agnese"Neos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.it«Ogni tanto penso a come sarebbe potuta andare…Come sarebbero andate le cose se noi, a un certo punto…avessimo fatto la cosa giusta. Se a un certo punto avessimo detto di no al regime…». Agnese Carta è una giovane insegnante di scuola media a Milano, arrestata nell'ottobre del 1943 per aver aiutato una sua allieva ebrea a fuggire, quindi deportata a Ravensbrück.Anna Bomard è una donna enigmatica che arriva a Milano nel 1949, decisa a investigare sulla sorte di Agnese: chi la denunciò? Perché con lei sparirono quasi contemporaneamente anche altri due insegnati della stessa scuola? Per scoprire la verità servirà l'aiuto dell'investigatore Pietro Missaglia, un ex partigiano, nome di battaglia “Lince”. I due seguiranno le tracce della donna scomparsa indagando in una città che, tra detriti e macerie, inizia a rinascere, ma ancora preda dei retaggi oscuri e drammatici della guerra. In un romanzo teso, fra ex partigiani ed ex fascisti, atti di coraggio e vendette, delazioni e insabbiamenti, la ricerca di Agnese fa da cornice ad altre due storie milanesi. Da una parte le vicende di un gruppo di azione patriottica nel tentativo fallito di organizzare un attentato contro il comando Gestapo. Dall'altra il percorso della giovane insegnante alla quale una insperata circostanza consente di salvarsi dal lager e impegnarsi in una nuova impensabile esistenza.“Sulle tracce di Agnese” è un romanzo di ricerca, che interseca diversi momenti temporali tra il 1943 ed il 1949, per insinuarsi in meandri imprevisti e, talora, dolorosi. Il tema della giustizia e della vendetta, della verità e della “cosa giusta”, sono nevralgici, in una costante tensione etica, che non dà certezze ma pressanti interrogativi.Protagonista importante del romanzo è la città di Milano, i quartieri, le vie, le piazze, le scuole, in particolare la scuola media “G.B. Tiepolo”, attraverso le quali l'Autore conduce i lettori. Luoghi tristemente noti della memoria cittadina, nella Milano occupata dai nazisti, da Piazzale Loreto a Villa Triste, al Poligono di tiro di piazzale Accursio, dove si verificarono eccidi e torture.Il giornalista e fumettista Alex Miozzi ha calato questo racconto in una cornice storica attentamente ricostruita, all'interno della quale si muovono personaggi assolutamente verosimili, regalandoci un romanzo avvincente come un giallo. Alex Miozzi.

Have you ever considered that your biggest annoyances might actually be blessings in disguise? Today's episode uncovers the remarkable true story of Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Betsy, whose experience in a Nazi concentration camp reveals an extraordinary lesson about gratitude.When the Ten Boom family was arrested in 1944 for hiding Jews in Amsterdam, sisters Corrie and Betsy found themselves in the horrific conditions of Ravensbrück. Facing starvation, overcrowding, and a terrible flea infestation, Betsy challenged her sister to practice gratitude for everything—even the fleas. Corrie initially resisted this seemingly impossible task. How could anyone be thankful for parasites that only added to their misery?Weeks later, they discovered something astonishing: those same fleas were keeping the guards away from their barracks, allowing their secret Bible study to flourish undisturbed. What Corrie had most resisted being thankful for had become their unexpected protection. This powerful revelation from Corrie's memoir "The Hiding Place" challenges us to reconsider our complaints and look for hidden blessings in our difficulties. As the scripture reminds us, we should "give thanks in all circumstances"—not just the pleasant ones.What "fleas" might you be overlooking in your own life?

Piše Marija Švajncer, bereta Maja Moll in Bernard Stramič. Naslov zgoščene spominske pripovedi vidnega slovenskega pisatelja Florjana Lipuša, Prešernovega nagrajenca in dopisnega člana Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti, je Mrtve stvari, podnaslov pa O sebi, o drugih, in o tretjem. Katere stvari so mrtve? Čedalje bolj umira slovenski jezik onstran slovensko-avstrijske meje, mrtva je pisateljeva mati, toda spomin nanjo je ohranjen, živ in tudi boleč. Oboje pisatelju povzroča grenkobo in žalost. V pretresljivem in izpovedno presunljivem življenjepisu se Lipuš vrača v svoje otroštvo, najprej preprosto in takšno, kot je pač življenje v majhni koroški vasi. Nič usodnega se ne dogaja, treba je pač nekako preživeti. Družina je revna in živi v grapi, kot so revni vsi, ki živijo na takih koncih, saj grape, pravi pisatelj, niso narejene za bogastvo. Ko je bil še čisto majhen, star komaj štiri leta, je mirne dneve najprej prekinil očetov odhod, kmalu zatem še materin. Orožnika sta jo v času druge svetovne vojne odvedla, ker je govorila v koroškem narečju, se pravi slovenščini. Nič drugega ni storila, le za to je šlo, da je bila v času nacizma jezikovna pripadnost narodni manjšini onstran meje prepovedana, in to tako zelo, da se je materino življenje končalo v plinski celici v Ravensbrücku. Sinkoma, mlajši se je komaj začel postavljati na noge, je obljubila, da se bo vrnila, toda besede ni mogla držati. Usmrtili so jo tri mesece pred koncem vojne. »Zgodaj so se mi zgodila odrasla leta, stlačena v eno leto, v en sam dopoldan. Dvomim, da so bila poznejša leta zrela leta, bila so obilnejša, številčnejša, glasnejša, lepša, temeljitejša, zrela niso bila, nič več bistvenega se me pozneje ni prijelo. Pozno sem se iz boba izdrl, z zamudo, v negotovostih in dvomih, pa še danes mi ni jasno, ali sem se res ali se mi samo zdi, da sem se.« Žalost za mrtvo materjo nosi pisatelj s seboj. Zdaj je očitna in skeli, zdaj se malce skrije v njegovo notranjost, potem pa se čez čas spet začne oglašati. Doživel je vse mogoče. Pot so mu prekrižali tudi dobri ljudje, med njimi župnik Aleš Zechner, in ti so poskrbeli, da se je lahko izšolal. Osem let je preživel v Škofijskem zavodu na Plešivcu. »Zavod se je obrnil proti meni kot človeku, ne ponuja mi poštenosti, pravičnosti, enakovrednosti, ponuja mi prezir. Niso me bili veseli, nismo bili dobrodošli, nismo se počutili sprejete, nič mar jim ni naš jezik, manjvrednost našega jezika je očitna in izpričana.« Leta v Zavodu so minevala, kot da to ni on sam, temveč je nekdo, ki zgolj sprejema verske dogme, se izobražuje po zavodskih pravilih, telovadi, predvsem pa veliko moli. Spolno zorenje je bilo neopazno in zatajeno. Kar hitro je ugotovil, da duhovniški poklic ni zanj. K sreči so bili spet dobri ljudje tisti, ki so pripomogli uresničiti drugačno življenjsko pot. Valentin Inzko, voditelj dela narodne skupnosti, ga je vpisal na celovško učiteljišče. Poučevanje mu je prineslo veliko zadovoljstva. Ustvaril si je družino, postal oče štirim otrokom in v življenje se je skoraj neopazno prikradla tudi sreča. Pomisli pa, da se je Valentinu Inzku premalokrat zahvalil za posojeno očetovstvo. Kljub novim okoliščinam in spremembam se ni mogel v celoti otresti bremena vsega hudega, kar se mu je zgodilo: »A kje in od kod jemati, ko so nas vsi od kraja vzgajali za malega človeka, uklonjenega, ponižnega, poslušnega, pokornega, ubogljivega?« Negotov in ogrožen položaj slovenske manjšine na Koroškem ga preganja in hromi. Vedno znova občuti drugorazrednost in odrinjenost. Za družino je zgradil hišo in zaživel na Selah pri Žitari vasi, toda tam živijo rojaki, ki čedalje bolj opuščajo slovenski jezik. Bili so časi, ko je bilo drugače. Urejal je dijaško glasilo Kres in v njem so mladi, polni upanja in zanosa, izražali pripadnost matičnemu narodu in skrb za slovenski jezik. »Kres pa je bil, čeprav je izhajal le malo let, narodni mejnik, najvažnejši kulturni dogodek po vojni in napoved življenjske volje. Koroškim Slovencem je utrl nova pota v kulturo, v duhovnost.« Florjan Lipuš je bil kasneje kar dvajset let urednik revije Mladje. »Mladje se je pojavilo za veličastje umetništva, in morda tudi po veličju, a veličje si mora pridelati vsak sam. Začelo se je iskanje resnice. Revijo so izdajali brez plačila, honorar so dobili enkrat samkrat, nazadnje jim je zmanjkalo denarja. Čas in družbene spremembe so napravili svoje. Pisatelj priznava, da se ga vse življenje polašča grenkoba. Za ranami ostajajo brazgotine. Pripoved Mrtve stvari je napisana tako, da dogodki ne potekajo drug za drugim, temveč se avtor zaustavi zdaj pri enem, zdaj pri drugem, potem se spet vrne na začetek in k trenutkom, ko je izgubil ljubljeno mater. Jezik je bogato metaforičen, opisno slikovit, včasih tudi privzdignjen in obogaten z narečnimi izrazi. Lipuš piše v sedanjiku, prihodnjiku, pretekliku in celo predpretekliku. Oživljanje spominov je realistično, nekateri odlomki pa nekoliko spominjajo na magični realizem, zlasti prihod smrti, matilde z dolgimi špiklastimi nogami, preoblečene v vilo, in ta strašni stvor odnese babico in ne prizanese materi. Tisto, kar ostane od rajnice, se otrese pepela in postane del vesolja. »Mamini zemeljski delci so grob preigrali. Pogosto se mi zgodi, da mamin duh ždi nad nami in nas varva. Z grobom vzdržujemo vez z mrtvimi, skozi to okno rajni opazujejo svet in tresejo z glavo. Skozi grobove nas vidijo.« Toda ljudje onstran meje so živi. Matična država bi morala pripomoči in si prizadevati, da njihovo ustvarjalno življenje in materni jezik ne bi zamrla.

When Evil Arises ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | July 27, 2025---------- EPISODE SUMMARY What do you do when it feels like evil is winning and God is nowhere to be found? Through the dramatic story of Esther chapter 3, Michael Shockley introduces us to one of history's most dangerous villains - Haman the Agagite. From a 500-year-old blood feud to a genocidal plot that threatened to eliminate all Jewish people, discover how God works behind the scenes even when His name isn't mentioned. Learn from the inspiring story of Corrie ten Boom and her Nazi concentration camp experience that sometimes what looks like abandonment is actually God's protection. When darkness seems to triumph, remember this truth: the Cross looked like defeat, but Sunday was already on the schedule. Core Message: Evil may rise, but God is already writing the rescue. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED Opening Stories: Death and Faith - The loss of cultural icons from the 80s and 90s - Malcolm Jamal Warner's Christian faith and peaceful character - Hulk Hogan's recent baptism and testimony about Jesus - Ozzy Osborne's reported possible deathbed conversion to Christianity - How unexpected people can embrace the Gospel Meet the Villain: Haman the Agagite - Haman's promotion to Grand Vizier, the king's highest official - His possession of the king's signet ring and ultimate authority - The epitome of someone who clawed and connived for power - His demand for everyone to bow and pay homage to him Mordecai's Refusal to Bow - Religious convictions about not engaging in false worship - The danger of making idols out of people or political systems - Standing up to insufferable, grandstanding leadership - A quiet act of conscience rooted in faith in a Greater King The Ancient Blood Feud - Haman as descendant of Agag, king of the Amalekites - The Amalekites' history of unprovoked attacks against Israel - God's judgment through King Saul and the Prophet Samuel - King Saul's disobedience in sparing King Agag - Mordecai as a relative or likely descendant of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin The Genocidal Plot - Haman's plan to exterminate all Jews in the Persian Empire - The empire's scope from India to Ethiopia, Greece to Caucasus Mountains - The financial incentive offered (equivalent to $200 million today) - The casting of lots (Pur) to determine the timing - How God influenced the lots to fall nearly a year later What It Looks Like vs. What's Really Happening - Evil rising vs. God writing the rescue - Haman in charge vs. God in control - Mordecai defiant vs. God faithful - Haman controlling calendar vs. God ordaining timing - King passive vs. King of Heaven active - God silent vs. God sovereign - Jews doomed vs. deliverers already in place The Corrie ten Boom Story - Dutch watchmaker's family hiding Jews during Holocaust - Arrest and imprisonment at Ravensbrück concentration camp - The flea-infested Barracks 28 that seemed like abandonment - How the fleas kept guards away, allowing Bible studies and worship - God using the very thing that seemed like punishment as protection ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "People get all bent out of shape when God doesn't do something to stop evil. And when God does something to stop evil, people get all bent out of shape." "Haman thought he was picking the best time for genocide. In truth, God picked the perfect time for rescue." "There is a big difference between what it looks like and what's really happening." "The Cross looked like defeat. The Tomb looked like the end. But Sunday was already on the schedule." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 3:1-6, 7, 15 - Supporting Texts: 1 Samuel 15 (Saul and the Amalekites), 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Key Theme: God's sovereignty working through human evil for ultimate good - Historical Context: Ancient blood feud between Amalekites and Jews - Forward Connection: Preservation of Jesus' lineage through Jewish survival ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION When You Feel Evil Is Winning: - Remember there's a difference between what it looks like and what's really happening - Trust that God is writing the rescue even when you can't see it - Don't assume God is absent just because circumstances are difficult - Call on God and ask Him to show Himself strong When Wrong People Seem to Be in Power: - Avoid making idols out of political systems or leaders - Practice quiet acts of conscience rooted in faith - Remember that human authority is temporary, God's authority is eternal - Stand up for your convictions even when it's unpopular When You Face Systematic Evil or Persecution: - Trust that God can use even the worst circumstances for protection - Look for opportunities to minister and share faith even in dark places - Remember that what seems like abandonment might be God's provision - Hold onto hope that deliverance is coming even when you can't see how When You're Tempted to Compromise Your Faith: - Follow Mordecai's example of quiet resistance based on conviction - Don't bow to pressure when it conflicts with worship of the true God - Understand that standing for truth may bring persecution - Trust that God sees your faithfulness even when others don't When You Question God's Timing: - Remember that God ordains timing even when humans think they control it - Trust that delays in justice don't mean God isn't working - Understand that God may be positioning people and circumstances for rescue - Wait on God's perfect timing rather than demanding immediate action ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION On the surface, it may seem like evil is winning and God is on vacation. But underneath it all, God is at work, quietly putting the pieces together for a rescue nobody sees coming. The Cross looked like defeat. The Tomb looked like the end. But Sunday was already on the schedule. When evil rises, when darkness closes its grip, when life itches and bites and burns and stings, don't assume God is absent. Even fleas and wicked decrees become a part of His rescue. Do you see evil around you? Are you wondering where God is? Call on Him. Ask Him to show Himself strong. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Remember: God's fingerprints are all over your story even when His name isn't mentioned. The Unseen Hand of God is at work, writing your rescue before evil even makes its move.

La historia de Nadine Hwang Brouta no se habría conocido sin el proyecto Stolpersteine. Esta mujer madrileña de origen chino belga, fue una de las víctimas del nazismo que estuvo recluida en el campo de concentración de Ravensbrück donde conoció a Nelly Mousset-Vos, otra presa de la que se enamoró. Y en aquel mundo de horror, triunfó el amor. La investigación, historia y homenaje de estas dos mujeres no hubiese sido posible sin Isabel Martínez y Jesús Rodríguez, un matrimonio de jubilados que lleva varios años colaborando en el proyecto Stolpersteine: pequeños monumentos que recuerdan a las personas deportadas o asesinadas por los nazis.

New York Times bestselling author, historian and White House correspondent Lynne Olson's new book The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück tells of defiance in a notorious women-only Nazi concentration camp. 

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

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with bestselling author Lynne Olson about her powerful new book, The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück. The conversation unearths the little-known history of French women—many from the resistance—who were captured and sent to Ravensbrück, the Nazis' only all-female concentration camp. Though they faced starvation, disease, forced labor, and the constant threat of execution, these women refused to surrender their dignity—or their purpose. They built a covert network inside the camp, shared banned news, sabotaged Nazi efforts, and supported one another through quiet but unwavering acts of resistance. Olson's research and storytelling illuminate the strength of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances—and how their defiance, though often silent, continues to echo today. This episode is a tribute to their memory, their courage, and a timely reminder that resistance takes many forms—and every act counts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Matt Crawford speaks with NYT Best-selling author Lynne Olson about her book, The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück: How an Intrepid Band of Frenchwomen Resisted the Nazis in Hitler's All-Female Concentration Camp .  The extraordinary true story of a small group of Frenchwomen, all Resistance members, who banded together in a notorious concentration camp to defy the Nazis—from the New York Times bestselling author of Madame Fourcade's Secret War “At once heartbreaking and beautifully told, this is a masterwork of nonfiction, a must-read for anyone who wants more of the incredible true story behind Lilac Girls.”—Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls Decades after the end of World War II, the name Ravensbrück still evokes horror for those with knowledge of this infamous all-women's concentration camp, better known since it became the setting of Martha Hall Kelly's bestselling novel, Lilac Girls. Particularly shocking were the medical experiments performed on some of the inmates. Ravensbrück was atypical in other ways as well, not just as the only all-female German concentration camp, but because 80 percent of its inmates were political prisoners, among them a tight-knit group of women who had been active in the French Resistance. Already well-practiced in sabotaging the Nazis in occupied France, these women joined forces to defy their German captors and keep one another alive. The sisterhood's members, amid unimaginable terror and brutality, subverted Germany's war effort by refusing to do assigned work. They risked death for any infraction, but that did not stop them from defying their SS tormentors at every turn—even staging a satirical musical revue about the horrors of the camp. After the war, when many in France wanted to focus only on the future, the women from Ravensbrück refused to allow their achievements, needs, and sacrifices to be erased. They banded together once more, first to support one another in healing their bodies and minds and then to continue their crusade for freedom and justice—an effort that would have repercussions for their country and the world into the twenty-first century.

Do we get the serial killers & heroes we deserve? The always generous literary critic Bethanne Patrick uses five new non-fiction books to respond to this rather absurd question. From French women resisting Nazis at Ravensbrück concentration camp to the CIA's Cold War book smuggling operation, these new books examine human behavior under the most extreme circumstances. Caroline Fraser's Murderland investigates whether environmental toxins in the Pacific Northwest bred serial killers like Ted Bundy, and Maria Blake's They Poison the World explores forever chemicals' deadly impact on the environment. While Kevin Sack's Mother Emanuel offers Charleston's story of African-American forgiveness for the 300-year injustice of slavery and Jim Crow. Together, these books suggest our environment shapes us—sometimes tragically, sometimes triumphantly. a takeaway from each book * The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück - French women's resistance efforts were systematically ignored in post-war recognition, with only 6 women receiving medals compared to 1,100 men, highlighting how women's contributions to liberation movements have been marginalized. Vive La France!* Murderland - Environmental toxicity from lead and arsenic smelting in the Pacific Northwest may have contributed to the region's concentration of serial killers in the 1950s-70s, with cases declining as environmental protections increased.* They Poisoned the World - The highly toxic PFAS "forever chemicals" were originally developed by the U.S. government for uranium processing, later causing widespread contamination linked to cancers, stillbirths, and weakened immune systems.* The CIA Book Club - The CIA successfully smuggled literature behind the Iron Curtain, with people craving not just political texts but also Agatha Christie mysteries and Shakespeare—proving culture, not just politics, sustained resistance.* Mother Emanuel - For Charleston's African-American congregation of Mother Emanuel church, forgiveness after the 2015 massacre wasn't about excusing the killer but about self-preservation—choosing to move forward rather than be consumed by hatred.Bethanne Patrick maintains a storied place in the publishing industry as a critic and as @TheBookMaven on Twitter, where she created the popular #FridayReads and regularly comments on books and literary ideas to over 200,000 followers.

Wer die Gegenwart verstehen will, sollte die Vergangenheit kennen. Das ist das Leitmotiv von Trauer & Turnschuh. In dieser Live-Podcast Folge vom April 2025 beim Superzart Festival in Hamburg sprechen Hadija und Max über das Leben queerer Personen in der NS-Zeit und danach. Was wurde vergessen und verdrängt und was macht das mit uns? Denn die Geschichte der Gewalt wie auch des Widerstands hat viel mit der Gegenwart zu tun. Die aktuelle und nahezu weltweite Wendung zu autoritären Politiken ist durch eine Anti-identitäre, anti-woke und anti-LGBTQI*-Agenda verbunden, die weit in die Vergangenheit reichen. Aber auch die Gegenwehr kann sich auf eine lange Geschichte berufen. Mit der Journalistin und Expertin für lesbische Verfolgungs- und Bewegungsgeschichte Stephanie Kuhnen sprechen wir deshalb über queere Leben, Erinnerungskämpfe und wie wir von ihnen für unsere Gegenwart lernen können.Mehr zum Thema dieser Episode:Superzart* Festival Hamburg (Website)Stephanie Kuhnen. 50 Jahre Stonewall.

On May 8, 1945, the second world war came to end in Europe. 80 years on, we reflect on how Catalonia was affected by the conflict and highlight the remarkable story of Neus Català, an anti-fascist resistance fighter and holocaust survivor from Tarragona. Reporters Lea Beliaeva Bander and Cillian Shields join host Beth Cohen to discuss the effects of WWII in Catalonia and discover the story of a Catalan woman who dedicated her life to fighting fascism. We meet Ricard Ribera Llorens, president of the Fundació Neus Català, who recounts Neus Català's journey from rural Catalonia to the concentration camps of Ravensbrück and Holleischen, to her later years dedicated to the historical memory of Nazi atrocities. Neus played a vital role in the anti-fascist struggle in the French resistance as a Republican exile, carrying messages, participating in the escape networks, providing food to guerrillas and giving the Nazi soldiers false information. Plus Dr. Alejandro Acosta, contemporary historian at the Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, analyzes the ongoing presence of fascist politics in contemporary society and the conditions which favor its' expansion. This week, our Catalan phrase is a quote from Neus Català herself: “L'única mort que em preocupa és la mort de la memòria” - “The only death which worries me is the death of memory.”

Das Konzentrationslager in Ravensbrück war das größte KZ für Frauen. Bei der Befreiung vor 80 Jahren fand man nur wenige Überlebende vor. Gedenkstättenleiterin Andrea Genest erklärt, wer die Frauen waren, die dorthin verschleppt wurden. Buschert, Fanny www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

En mai 1945, la Seconde guerre mondiale s'achève, l'armistice est signé et les camps de prisonniers sont libérés peu à peu. À Ravensbrück, camp de concentration réservé aux femmes, 8 000 Françaises ont été emprisonnées, bien peu sont revenues. Mais elles y ont tenu, à travers l'horreur, grâce à une sororité teintée de tendresse, comme l'amitié entre Suzanne Bouvard ou Simone Séailles et dont celles qui sont encore vivantes aujourd'hui témoignent, à l'image de Jacqueline Fleury. Avec Sabine Pesier, coprésidente du Mémorial national des femmes en résistance et en déportation, Laure Manent revient sur le rôle des femmes pendant la guerre et les nombreuses résistantes dont le souvenir s'est perdu malgré leur courage.

Ravensbrück var nazisternes KZ-lejr for kvindelige fanger. Den ligger 90 kilometer nord for Berlin. I årene 1939-1945 sad 123.000 kvinder i kortere eller længere tid, mens 28.000 døde i lejren.39 danske kvinder og fem af deres børn oplevede også rædslerne i lejren, som indsatte i årene mellem 1943-1945. De fleste danske fanger kom hjem med De Hvide Busser i krigens sidste uger, men mærkede på krop og sjæl for livet.Hvem var fangerne? Hvorfor kom de til Ravensbrück? Hvordan var livet i lejren under fangevogternes brutale regime med hårdt slavearbejde og en hverdag fyldt med sult og død? I programmet medvirker holocaust-arkæolog og forfatter, Anders Otte Steensager, der blandt andet er forfatter til bogen ”Kvinderne i Ravensbrück” med undertitlen ”Danske skæbner i en tysk kz-lejr”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eighty years ago, on April 29, 1945, the last SS troops fled the German camp of Ravensbrück, the largest Nazi concentration camp for women. Among those held there was Suzanne Bouvard, a young woman from Brittany. During her deportation, she became friends with Simone Séailles, a Parisian resistance member. In life and in death, the two women bound their destinies together. After the war, Suzanne decided to rebuild her life by planting orchards. Rooting herself in the land was her way of healing and forgetting the hell of the camps. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard report. 

Le 30 avril 1945, l'Armée Rouge libère les prisonnières de Ravensbrück, seul camp de concentration dédié aux femmes pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Dans ce centre de l'enfer, près de 132.000 femmes et enfants venus d'Europe ont connu l'humiliation, la torture et l'exploitation. 2.250 d'entre elles ont été arrêtées sur le territoire belge. A l'occasion du 80ème anniversaire de la libération, Yasmine Boudaka évoque le précieux travail de mémoire que Claire Pahaut a réalisé à partir d'archives et de témoignages de rescapées. Dans son livre "Ces dames de Ravensbrück, 1939 - 1945 " publié aux Archives du Royaume, l'historienne leur redonne un visage, une identité et les sort enfin de l'anonymat.

Adéntrate en una de las historias más perturbadoras y silenciadas del siglo XX en este nuevo episodio de serie: Operación Paperclip.¿Y si te dijéramos que, tras la caída del Tercer Reich, los verdugos de la humanidad no fueron castigados… sino contratados?En esta investigación, revelamos cómo cientos de científicos nazis, muchos de ellos responsables de crímenes atroces en campos de concentración, fueron trasladados secretamente a Estados Unidos. ¿Su nueva misión? Continuar su trabajo bajo una nueva bandera, desarrollando tecnología, armas y métodos de control que marcarían para siempre el futuro de la humanidad.Desde los experimentos inhumanos en Ravensbrück y Buchenwald, hasta la complicidad del Vaticano y la CIA en la huida de Hitler a Sudamérica… este episodio conecta los hilos de una trama que no terminó en 1945, sino que apenas comenzaba.Descubrirás cómo la Operación Paperclip no solo trasladó cuerpos, sino ideologías y técnicas de manipulación que más tarde darían origen a experimentos como el MK Ultra.Una historia de pactos con el mal, encubrimientos internacionales y un nuevo orden gestado en las sombras.Prepárate para un viaje que pondrá en duda todo lo que creías saber sobre el final del nazismo.Porque a veces, los monstruos no mueren… simplemente cambian de uniforme.

The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück: How an Intrepid Band of Frenchwomen Resisted the Nazis in Hitler's All-Female Concentration Camp by Lynne Olson Amazon.com The extraordinary true story of a small group of Frenchwomen, all Resistance members, who banded together in a notorious concentration camp to defy the Nazis—from the New York Times bestselling author of Madame Fourcade's Secret War “At once heartbreaking and beautifully told, this is a masterwork of nonfiction, a must-read for anyone who wants more of the incredible true story behind Lilac Girls.”—Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls Decades after the end of World War II, the name Ravensbrück still evokes horror for those with knowledge of this infamous all-women's concentration camp, better known since it became the setting of Martha Hall Kelly's bestselling novel, Lilac Girls. Particularly shocking were the medical experiments performed on some of the inmates. Ravensbrück was atypical in other ways as well, not just as the only all-female German concentration camp, but because 80 percent of its inmates were political prisoners, among them a tight-knit group of women who had been active in the French Resistance. Already well-practiced in sabotaging the Nazis in occupied France, these women joined forces to defy their German captors and keep one another alive. The sisterhood's members, amid unimaginable terror and brutality, subverted Germany's war effort by refusing to do assigned work. They risked death for any infraction, but that did not stop them from defying their SS tormentors at every turn—even staging a satirical musical revue about the horrors of the camp. After the war, when many in France wanted to focus only on the future, the women from Ravensbrück refused to allow their achievements, needs, and sacrifices to be erased. They banded together once more, first to support one another in healing their bodies and minds and then to continue their crusade for freedom and justice—an effort that would have repercussions for their country and the world into the twenty-first century.About the author Lynne Olson is a New York Times bestselling author of ten books of history. Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has called her “our era's foremost chronicler of World War II politics and diplomacy.” Lynne's latest book, The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück: How an Intrepid Band of Frenchwomen Resisted the Nazis in Hitler's All-Female Concentration Camp, will be published by Random House on June 3, 2025. Her earlier books include three New York Times bestsellers: Madame Fourcade's Secret War: The Daring Young Woman Who Led France's Largest Spy Network Against the Nazis; Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America's Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941, and Citizens of London: The Americans Who Stood with Britain in Its Darkest, Finest Hour.

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.

Le 10 juin 1942, le petit village tchécoslovaque de Lidice, situé près de Prague, est rayé de la carte par les nazis. Tous les hommes sont exécutés, les femmes déportées et les enfants envoyés à la mort ou à la germanisation. Ce massacre est l'un des plus tragiques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une vengeance brutale après l'assassinat d'un haut dignitaire nazi.L'assassinat de Reinhard Heydrich : le déclencheurTout commence avec l'Opération Anthropoid, une mission secrète menée par des résistants tchécoslovaques entraînés par les Britanniques. Leur cible : Reinhard Heydrich, l'un des hommes les plus puissants du Troisième Reich, surnommé le "Boucher de Prague" en raison de sa politique de terreur en Bohême-Moravie.Le 27 mai 1942, les résistants Jan Kubiš et Jozef Gabčík tendent une embuscade à Heydrich alors qu'il circule en voiture à Prague. Grièvement blessé par l'explosion d'une grenade, il meurt de septicémie quelques jours plus tard. Furieux, Hitler ordonne une répression exemplaire.Lidice : une cible innocenteLes nazis cherchent un village à anéantir en guise d'avertissement. Lidice est désigné sur la base d'un faux soupçon : un habitant du village aurait eu un lien avec les assassins de Heydrich. Sans preuve réelle, les SS passent immédiatement à l'action.Un massacre organiséLe 10 juin 1942, les troupes nazies encerclent Lidice et exécutent sur place tous les hommes âgés de plus de 15 ans : 173 sont fusillés contre un mur de grange.Les 184 femmes sont déportées vers le camp de concentration de Ravensbrück, où beaucoup mourront d'épuisement ou de mauvais traitements.Les 88 enfants sont séparés de leurs mères. Certains sont envoyés en camp d'extermination, notamment à Chelmno, où ils sont gazés. Seuls quelques enfants au profil "aryen" sont sélectionnés pour être rééduqués en Allemagne et confiés à des familles nazies.Lidice disparaît de la cartePour effacer toute trace du village, les nazis rasent Lidice. Les maisons sont incendiées, l'église et le cimetière dynamités. Même les cours d'eau sont détournés. Lidice ne doit plus exister.Un symbole de résistanceAprès la guerre, Lidice devient un symbole international de la barbarie nazie. En 1947, la Tchécoslovaquie reconstruit un nouveau village à proximité. Aujourd'hui, un mémorial honore les victimes et rappelle cette tragédie. Hébergé par Acast.

El 24 de agosto de 1940 un tren con 927 refugiados españoles -muchos de ellos catalanes- salía de la estación de Angouleme, en la región francesa de la Charente. Las tropas alemanas de Hitler acababan de dividir Francia en dos, y los refugiados creían que los llevaban a la zona no ocupada. Pero pronto se dieron cuenta de que iban hacia el norte. Cuatro días más tarde, llegaron al pueblo de Mauthausen. No les sonaba de nada el nombre de un campo de concentración que, en unos años, sería uno de los símbolos del holocausto y el exterminio. En aquel lugar se produjo una dramática separación: los soldados alemanes obligaron a apearse a los hombres, a partir de los 13 años de edad, sin importar que se tratara de ancianos o niños. Era el inicio de la tragedia. 470 personas quedaron prisioneras en el campo de Mauthausen. De estas, el 87 por ciento murieron. Los 457 restantes, mujeres y niños pequeños, iniciaron un largo recorrido de vuelta. A la desesperación de ver como los hombres habían sido arrancados de sus brazos se añadía la incertidumbre de no conocer su destino final. La parada en un campo de concentración femenino— que podría haber sido Ravensbrück— hacía temer lo peor. Finalmente, y después de 18 días de viaje en condiciones infames, las mujeres y los niños fueron devueltos a la España de Franco, el lugar del que habían huido al acabar la Guerra Civil. Allí les espera prisión, persecución y la angustia de no poder saber de sus familiares dejados en Mauthausen. Los españoles fueron los primeros en llegar al campo de concentración. De hecho, podría decirse que ellos lo construyeron. Y también fueron los primeros de sufrir las consecuencias de la ira de los nazis: en un momento en que ni los judíos ni los rusos habían llegado todavía para ser objeto de su locura exterminadora. Pero los que sobrevivieron no callaron. Los más jóvenes de este convoy formarían parte del comando de los “Poschacer”; piezas clave para sacar al exterior los clichés y fotografías de Francesc Boix, que fueron aportadas como pruebas fundamentales de las crueldades de los nazis en el juicio de Núremberg. Este convoy fue el primer tren de deportados de toda Europa occidental, cargado con familias enteras con destinación a un campo de exterminio nazi. Población civil, refugiados en estado puro, que serían considerados “apátridas” cuando el ministro de Franco, Ramón Serrano Suñer, decidió desatenderse de ellos. La documentación encontrada prueba que, en cuatro ocasiones, las autoridades nazis preguntaron a sus homólogos españoles que debían hacer con los “dos mil rojos españoles de Angouleme”. No se molestaron nunca en contestar, a pesar de que sabían que la mitad de los pasajeros fueron a parar a Mauthausen. Algunos documentos tienen una nota manuscrita al margen en la que se pide que se archive el asunto, “puesto que no parece oportuno hacer nada al respecto”. La historia de este convoy ha quedado escondida bajo el olvido y el silencio generalizado que envuelve a las víctimas del franquismo. Además, la potencia del recuerdo de colectivos, como el judío, ha acabado de arrinconar la tragedia de estos españoles que murieron en los campos de concentración alemanes. Los pocos que se salvaron, no pudieron volver a la España de Franco o lo tuvieron que hacer callando. Tal vez en este silencio y en este olvido podemos encontrar una explicación en los brotes neonazi y fascistas cada día más frecuentes. A lo mejor, el hecho que no haya ningún monumento en homenaje a estos compatriotas nos tendría que hacer temer que se cumpla aquello que dice que quien no conoce su historia, corre el riesgo de repetirla. El reportaje ha recopilado los testimonios de una treintena de supervivientes del convoy, tanto de los que terminaron en Mauthausen, como los que volvieron a España, así como de refugiados en Angouleme que se salvaron de subir al tren. El rodaje se ha hecho en Francia, Austria y España y se han consultado una veintena de archivos españoles, europeos y norte-americanos.

In 1942, several years into the Second World War, the British government sent out a series of bulletins requesting any personal photos the public might have of the French coastline. Odette Hallowes, a French woman living in the UK with her three young children, answered the call and was invited to London where she was offered a role in the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The SOE, formed under the direct orders of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, aimed to create a top-secret underground army to help local resistance movements and conduct espionage and sabotage in enemy-held territories. Odette eventually agreed and arrived in France in November 1942, where she worked undercover, under the code-name ‘Lise'.The following year, Odette was captured, interrogated, and tortured by the Gestapo. She was sentenced to death and transported to Ravensbrück, a concentration camp for women in northern Germany. In the midst of her suffering and isolation, Odette found solace in the most unexpected form – a tiny, beautiful green leaf on the otherwise desolate camp grounds. This leaf became her lifeline, a symbol of freedom beyond the prison walls.Shortly after her 33rd birthday and with the war coming to a close, Odette was handed over to the advancing American army and eventually reunited with her children. For her remarkable bravery and stark refusal to betray her fellow secret agents, she was awarded both the George Cross and France's Légion d'Honneur. She even had a major film made about her.Almost 80 years later, Odette's granddaughter, Sophie Parker was looking through some of Odette's possessions when she rediscovered that tiny leaf. As Sophie recounts, this leaf wasn't just a piece of foliage; it symbolised hope and survival and became a tangible connection to her grandmother's incredible story.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Thomas Harding AssinderGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when you forget God in the face of societal chaos? Join us as we tackle this profound question through the remarkable story of Dr. Wanda Półtawska and her friendship with Karol Wojtyła, later known as Pope John Paul II. Both witnessed and resisted the oppressive forces of Nazism and communism in Poland. Their experiences serve as a powerful reminder of the critical role each of us plays in safeguarding the sanctity of life and family. We recount Wanda's harrowing experiences in Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she endured brutal medical experiments, emerging as a beacon of resilience and courage. In her own words and in an interview with Solène Tadié on the occasion of her 100th birthday in 2001 here is a brief sketch of the events and her thoughts relevant to today. Her collaboration with Wojtyła in opposing abortion in communist Poland highlights the importance of education and forming children to uphold values that resist destructive ideologies.(The Video-Podcast of this Episode is available on Rumble.
