Efraim Zuroff er den siste vaskekte nazijegeren. Han er israelsk historiker, født i USA, og han har viet sitt liv til å stille nazistiske og fascistiske krigsforbrytere for retten. Zuroff var i 38 år leder for Simon Wiesenthal-senterets kontor i Jerusalem, og har vært koordinator for senterets verdensomspennende forskning på nazistiske krigsforbrytelser. Han har også i mange år vært forfatter av det årlige «Status Report» – en rapport om etterforskning og rettsforfølgelse av nazistiske krigsforbrytere på verdensbasis, som også inkluderer en liste over de mest ettersøkte.Zuroff er forfatter av fire bøker, som er oversatt til 15 språk. Han tok en mastergrad i Holocaust-studier ved Institute of Contemporary Jewry ved Det hebraiske universitetet i Jerusalem, der han også fullførte sin doktorgrad. Avhandlingen hans handler om den ortodokse jødedommens respons på Holocaust i USA, med særlig vekt på redningsforsøkene som ble igangsatt av redningskomiteen Vaad ha-Hatzala, etablert av amerikanske ortodokse rabbinere i 1939.I den senere tid har Zuroff tatt opp en ny kamp, nemlig kampen mot forvrengning og fornektelse av Holocaust, samt mot antisemittisme.►  ⁠BLI ⁠⁠⁠⁠MEDLEM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Fremover vil de som er støttemedlemmer få tilgang til episodene først.

Heute werfen wir einen Blick auf das Leben eines Mannes, der wie kaum ein anderer für Gerechtigkeit nach dem Holocaust stand – Simon Wiesenthal. Geboren 1908 im heutigen Westen der Ukraine, überlebte er mehrere Konzentrationslager und widmete nach dem Krieg sein Leben der Suche nach NS-Verbrechern. In der heutigen Sendung erinnern wir an Simon Wiesenthal – den Mann, der den Opfern des Holocaust eine Stimme gab und nie müde wurde zu sagen: „Gerechtigkeit, nicht Rache.“

Send us a textIn this sermon, the story of Chanah from the Haftarah on Rosh Hashanah serves as a powerful lesson about the depth of human emotions and the nature of prayer. Chanah, who is childless, pours her heart out to G-d in silent prayer, but Eli, the High Priest, mistakenly perceives her as being drunk. This seemingly insensitive misjudgment turns into a profound revelation about the coexistence of pain and serenity, and the spiritual intimacy that comes from genuine prayer. By exploring Chanah's response and comparing it with a story from the Holocaust, we learn the essence of pouring out our souls before G-d, no matter the circumstances.Key Takeaways:Prayer as Connection: Chanah teaches us that prayer is about pouring out our hearts directly to G-d, beyond formalities, in intimate conversation.Misunderstood Devotion: Eli's assumption reminds us that the deepest expressions of faith can sometimes be misread, even by spiritual leaders.The Coexistence of Emotions: Chanah's ability to carry both profound grief and inner peace exemplifies the complexity of the human soul when connected to G-d.Focus on the Positive: The story of Simon Wiesenthal and Rabbi Silver highlights the choice to see the devotion of those who sacrifice, rather than the flaws of the few.#roshhashana #prayer  #rabbiwisdom #misunderstanding #emotionalpain  #faith  #connection  #Devotional  #holocaustsurvivor #spiritualintimacy #Judaism  #jewishculture #jewishhistory #holocaustremembrance #prayers #rabbi #theloverabbi #chabad #SelfImprovement Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

MISSISSIPPI BURNING is the name of a motion picture, released in 1988, starring Gene Hackman and Willem DaFoe, loosely based on the murders of 3 Civil Rights workers in Mississippi, during the “Freedom Summer” of 1964.  James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were lured to Philadelphia, Mississippi, and executed by the Ku Klux Klan. No one was ever convicted of their murders, until over 40 years later when Jerry Mitchell, an investigative reporter with The Charion-Ledger, in Jackson, Mississippi, convinced authorities to reopen more than one cold murder case from the Civil Rights Era, prompting one colleague to call him "the South's "Simon Wiesenthal."  In 2009, he received a "genius grant" from the MacArthur Foundation. Author John Grisham wrote of Mr. Mitchell: “For almost two decades, investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell doggedly pursued the Klansmen responsible for some of the most notorious murders of the civil rights movement. His book, “Race Against Time,” is his amazing story. Thanks to him, and to courageous prosecutors, witnesses, and FBI agents, justice finally prevailed.” It is my honor to welcome Jerry Mitchell to Murder Most Foul today.

‘Apology not accepted': Behind Jewish groups' furor over Canada's new human rights commissioner

Birju Dattani is a Canadian human rights lawyer who worked in the Yukon and his home province of Alberta before being catapulted into the highest-profile human rights job in the country a few weeks ago. In mid-June, Canada's justice minster announced Dattani's appointment for a five-year term as chief commissioner at the federal human rights watchdog. But the ink was hardly dry on the Order-in-Council before disturbing allegations began surfacing about some anti-Israel social media posts and lectures he made a decade ago while a university student in England. Jewish groups and other researchers discovered he'd shared a panel with a virulent Islamic terrorist, protested outside the Israeli embassy and once shared an article that compared Israelis to Nazis. Now the federal justice Minister Arif Virani has launched an investigation—although he isn't rescinding the job offer, despite calls to do so from CIJA, B'nai Brith, Canadian Friends of Simon Wiesenthal and the federal Conservatives. Dattani denies he is antisemitic, saying he didn't do the things he is accused of, has apologized if the revelations caused harm to the Jewish community, and is confident he will be vindicated. But as we'll hear on today's episode of The CJN Daily, at least one prominent Jewish outfit has a hard message for Dattani: “Apology not accepted.” Shimon Koffler Fogel, the CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, joins from Ottawa to explain his position. What we talked about: Hear Michael Geist discuss his concerns about the new Online Harms law and the changes to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the powers it will give to the CHRC, on The CJN Daily. Read Birju Dattani's official statement on his LinkedIn page distancing himself from the allegations, denying them, and expressing confidence he will be vindicated.

La cattura di Eichmann

In questo podcast - primo episodio della docuserie "Il Mossad. Successi e fallimenti del più grande e temuto servizio segreto al mondo", l'analista strategico Gianluca Ansalone (Docente di Geopolitica al Campus Biomedico di Roma-Università di Roma Tor Vergata) racconta la cattura di Adolf Eichmann, uno degli architetti nazisti della "Soluzione finale".  Nel dicembre 1944, prima che potesse completare la deportazione degli ebrei di Budapest e pochi giorni prima che la capitale ungherese cadesse in mano all'Armata Rossa, Eichmann si rifugiò frettolosamente in Germania. Poco dopo fu catturato dagli americani, che lo colsero mascherato sotto il falso nome di Otto Eckmann. Dopo essere fuggito dal campo di detenzione americano nel gennaio 1946, si nascose per alcuni mesi in una fattoria e andò a vivere nella zona di occupazione britannica sotto l'identità di Otto Henninger. Come molti criminali nazisti, nel 1950 ottenne un "certificato di indulgenza" della Chiesa cattolica, che gli permise di imbarcarsi clandestinamente dall'Italia all'Argentina sotto la falsa identità di "Ricardo Klement". In quel periodo, l'Argentina era diventata un rifugio sicuro per migliaia di criminali nazisti che arrivavano attraverso la cosiddetta "via dei topi". Sotto falso nome, Eichmann fu assunto nell'officina della Mercedes-Benz. Nel 1952 la moglie e i figli lo raggiunsero. Il ruolo significativo di Eichmann come uno degli architetti della "Soluzione Finale" degli ebrei europei cominciò a emergere alla fine degli anni Quaranta. Fin dai primi anni Cinquanta, proliferarono le voci che sostenevano che egli si trovasse in Sud America, come i servizi segreti della Germania occidentale e degli Stati Uniti avevano già appreso con certezza. Ma fu grazie alla determinazione e alla perseveranza di alcuni individui decisi a svelare la vera identità di "Ricardo Klement" che gli agenti del Mossad israeliano lanciarono una caccia che si concluse con la cattura di Eichmann l'11 maggio 1960. Fritz Bauer, il procuratore generale (ebreo) dello Stato tedesco occidentale dell'Assia, agendo al di fuori del suo ruolo formale per timore che un'azione ufficiale potesse ostacolare il successo dell'operazione, trasmise al governo israeliano precise informazioni sulla posizione di Eichmann. Lothar Hermann, un sopravvissuto all'Olocausto di origine tedesca emigrato in Argentina, spinse il Mossad ad agire sulla base di informazioni particolarmente credibili ricevute dalla figlia Sylvia, che aveva legami sentimentali con uno dei figli di Eichmann, Klaus. A ciò si aggiunge la vigorosa attività del cacciatore di nazisti Simon Wiesenthal e dell'agente del Mossad Manus Diamant, che ha trovato un ritratto fotografico di Eichmann risalente agli anni della guerra. Ognuno di loro, a modo suo, preparò la strada al Mossad per pianificare ed eseguire l'operazione di rapimento. La squadra comprendeva: Rafi Eitan, Peter Malkin, Zvi Aharoni e Moshe Tabor. L'operazione fu condotta sotto il comando del capo del Mossad Isser Harel con l'appoggio del Primo Ministro David Ben-Gurion. Dopo aver catturato Eichmann vicino alla sua casa di via Garibaldi, in un sobborgo di Buenos Aires, i suoi rapitori lo portarono di corsa in un luogo di occultamento. Sotto interrogatorio, Eichmann ammise la sua vera identità e firmò un documento in cui dava il consenso a essere processato in Israele. Undici giorni dopo fu trasportato clandestinamente in Israele su un aereo di linea della El Al. A cura di Francesco De Leo.

« Ce sont des créatures fantastiques, effrayantes qui font penser à des légendes sombres. Sans pitié, elles sont probablement encore plus dangereuses que les bourreaux SS car ce sont des femmes. Est-ce que ce sont vraiment des femmes ? » Ainsi témoigne Lina Haag, rescapée du camp de Lichtenburg. Elles se nommaient Irma Grese alias « La hyène d'Auschwitz », Maria Mandl, Johanna Langefeld ou encore Hermine Braunsteiner pour les plus célèbres. Dans chaque camp de concentration et d'extermination où elles étaient affectées, elles incarnaient la peur, la brutalité et la mort. Ces femmes qui participèrent activement à l'appareil génocidaire nazi, ce sont les gardiennes. La loi nazie imposant que les prisonnières et les déportées soient surveillées par des femmes, un corps de métier dépendant de la SS fut créé spécialement à cet effet, fort d'environ 4000 recrues. Rouage essentiel dans l'administration des camps, les gardiennes, généralement issues de milieux modestes – ouvrières, employées de maison ou postières- sont recrutées par petites annonces, bouche à oreille ou directement sur leur lieu de travail. C'est à Ravensbrück, le premier et le plus grand camp pour femmes, qu'elles sont formées à partir de 1939. Dans l'univers concentrationnaire, elles deviennent vite des spécialistes de la violence. En 1942, quand les camps se multiplient et que la « solution finale » est décidée en secret, elles sont envoyées à l'Est pour seconder les SS dans leur travail macabre : humiliation, torture, sélection pour les chambres à gaz. Leur cruauté n'a rien à envier à celle des hommes. Si après la guerre, certaines gardiennes sont jugées et exécutées par la justice alliée, la majorité parvient à se faire oublier. Il faudra toute l'opiniâtreté de chasseurs de nazis, comme Simon Wiesenthal, pour les traquer et les débusquer, parfois jusqu'aux Etats-Unis. Femmes bourreaux retrace l'ascension et le quotidien de ces gardiennes au sein des camps : une histoire qui n'avait encore jamais été écrite.

On Feb. 26, Canada signalled it is done waiting for internet giants and social media companies to protect children from consuming or being victims of harmful online content. Justice minister Arif Virani introduced Bill C-63, which sets up a new Digital Safety Commission to handle these cases and impose multimillion-dollar fines on social media sites for not complying. For the Jewish community, the new law would also toughen penalties for those who incite hatred, including antisemitism, and promote genocide or Holocaust denial. It's a long-awaited piece of legislation for Jewish advocacy groups like CIJA, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal and B'nai Brith: all have been warning about the dangerous explosion of online hate, saying that it could lead to actual terrorism, especially after Oct. 7. But some critics, including the federal Conservatives, fear the new law may go too far in curbing free speech, and have hinted they will vote against it as the proposed law now makes its way through Parliament. On today's The CJN Daily, we speak with Bernie Farber, who was one of the consultants hired by the government to shape the new legislation, and with professor Michael Geist, an internet law expert from the University of Ottawa, who sees some red flags.

Forgiveness is one of the greatest needs of our world whether in personal and family relationships or in society. Nelson Mandela said ‘resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.' In contrast he said; ‘forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear. That's why it is such a powerful weapon.'   So many people are so poisoned by unforgiveness and carry around with them the effects of past experiences which have wounded them deeply: breakups, family trauma, or different forms of betrayal.    It can seem an unimaginably hard task to choose to let go of past hurts and pain. Yet forgiveness is something that everyone who prays the Lord's prayer must practice every day. For immediately after praying for daily bread, Jesus teaches us next in Matthew 6:12 to pray ‘And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.' Or as the old King James Version says: ‘And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.'    Jesus was insistent that we must both ask God for forgiveness and to pray that we will forgive those who have hurt us. Let's look at this teaching with some simple points:   1. We all need to be forgiven (James 4:6; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10) 2. We can be forgiven (Psalm 103:10–12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:9; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) 3. We all must forgive (Matthew 6:14-15; Colossians 3:13)  Apply  1. We all need to be forgiven: Implicit in this instruction from Jesus is the reality that we have things in our lives that we need to be forgiven for. In other words, recognising that we have done wrong. Today, more and more, we see that less and less people are willing to admit their faults, let alone confessing that in Biblical terms that they have sinned in any way. People, whether individually or in pressure groups and political parties, are happy to highlight and oppose what they define as the wrongdoing of others, whether real or imagined. But they are very reluctant to admit that they have done anything wrong. So often today people and organisations totally refuse to apologise for wrong behaviour, or if they do so, they issue a non-apology apology saying ‘I am sorry if you have been offended by anything I said or did' but not ‘I am sorry for having been offensive or spoken offensively.' This is of course stubbornness and pride. Pride is something that we are encouraged to promote today with the idea that you don't have to be forgiven for anything. This is how many people rationalise their actions: ‘I have nothing whatsoever to be forgiven for. I have the right to what I decide what I am. I can do whatever I want to do. Since I decide what's right, I am always right, and therefore I have nothing to apologise for. Certainly, I don't need to be forgiven by God or anyone else.' Well of course all this is a very self-serving and subjective approach to life and is the complete opposite to what the Bible teaches (James 4:6). God lays out in the Scripture what is right and what is wrong, what is bad and what is good (Romans 3:23). Everyone, all of us, needs to be forgiven for our sins and wrongdoing (1 John 1:8-10). We need to look into our hearts and face up to what we need to be forgiven for, whether it is pride, anger, bitterness, sexual sin or unforgiveness. Are you prepared to do that?  2. We can be forgiven: The bad news is that sin is bad. But the good news is that sin, even terrible sin, can be forgiven (Psalm 103:10–12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:9). The apostle Paul was very clear not only of the need for forgiveness for sins but also the possibilities of forgiveness and change, no matter what your previous sins, relationships or lifestyles (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Now this is not hate language, as some would like to assert, but love language about how Jesus can make anyone clean and new from the inside out and have a new and secure identity as a citizen of the kingdom of God. Today you can be forgiven when you accept that Jesus paid the price of your sin at the cross.   3. We all must forgive: We each must forgive and not least because it is key to us also being forgiven. (Matthew 6:14-15; Colossians 3:13). Forgiveness may be a problem for you but the consequences of not forgiving are far worse. In 1944 Simon Wiesenthal was a young Polish prisoner of the Nazis. He had looked on helpless, as Nazi soldiers killed his grandmother on the stairs of her home. In total 89 of his Jewish relatives would die at the hand of the Nazis. One day in prison a nurse approached him and asked if he were a Jew. She led him to a dark room where a terribly wounded lone soldier lay, an SS officer who wanted to make a deathbed confession. He told Wiesenthal how he and his men had rounded up three hundred Jews, herded them into a house and then fired grenades at it. They shot people as they ran burning from the house, including a mother and her small child. Three times Wiesenthal tried to leave the man as he told of further atrocities. Each time the German soldier begged him to stay. He said: ‘I am left here with my guilt. In the last hours of my life you are with me. I do not know who you are. I know only that you are a Jew and that is enough. I know that what I have told you is terrible…I have longed to talk about it to a Jew and beg forgiveness from him. Only I didn't know if there were any Jews left. I know what I am asking is almost too much for you but without your answer I cannot die in peace.'  Wiesenthal stared at the helpless man. ‘At last I made up my mind,' Wiesenthal wrote later, ‘and, without a word, I left the room.' The SS officer soon died, unforgiven, and Wiesenthal lived on to be liberated from the death camp. But the scene in the hospital room haunted him like a ghost. He was trapped by his own unforgiveness. After the war Wiesenthal visited the mother of the officer, hoping to somehow exorcise his feelings. But the visit only made the officer more human as she spoke of his early childhood Christian faith which he lost in the Hitler youth corps. Wiesenthal could not bear to tell the mother how her son ended up. For decades Wiesenthal, who had himself had suffered such pain from his enemies, continued to be plagued by his refusal to forgive his enemy. In the end he wrote his story in The Sunflower and sent it to the brightest ethical minds he knew, including rabbis and priests and asked them this question: ‘what would you have done in my place?'3 Of all the people who replied to Wiesenthal, all but six agreed with what he had done. One respondent said: ‘you should have strangled him in his bed.' What would you have done in my place? Asked the anguished Wiesenthal. And it is a question for everyone to consider.  Well what would you have done if you had lost 89 of your relatives? What would your reaction be when faced with a man who had slaughtered so many innocent people?  One Jew answered this question with a very different response to that of the anguished Simon Wiesenthal, as he hung dying on a Roman cross 2000 years ago. He Himself had suffered unbelievable and undeserved cruelty. He was battered beyond recognition and abused, betrayed and tortured. A crown of thorns was rammed on his head and his hands and feet were pieced by nails. Yet as he looked down at his enemies who gloated at the awfulness of his final moments, He did not snarl at them and curse at them. There was no anger or all-consuming bitterness. Instead God's only Son prayed a prayer for them. ‘Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.' Jesus wanted the best for those who treated him the worst. His enemies wanted to harm Him but He wanted to help them. They wanted to destroy him; He wanted to rescue them. He wanted them to be forgiven. And He wants us to do the same for all who have hurt us or sinned against us. Only in this way can we too be liberated and receive the forgiveness that God extends to us. 

The King's Church International Audio Podcast

Forgiveness is one of the greatest needs of our world whether in personal and family relationships or in society. Nelson Mandela said ‘resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.' In contrast he said; ‘forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear. That's why it is such a powerful weapon.'   So many people are so poisoned by unforgiveness and carry around with them the effects of past experiences which have wounded them deeply: breakups, family trauma, or different forms of betrayal.    It can seem an unimaginably hard task to choose to let go of past hurts and pain. Yet forgiveness is something that everyone who prays the Lord's prayer must practice every day. For immediately after praying for daily bread, Jesus teaches us next in Matthew 6:12 to pray ‘And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.' Or as the old King James Version says: ‘And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.'    Jesus was insistent that we must both ask God for forgiveness and to pray that we will forgive those who have hurt us. Let's look at this teaching with some simple points:   1. We all need to be forgiven (James 4:6; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10) 2. We can be forgiven (Psalm 103:10–12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:9; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) 3. We all must forgive (Matthew 6:14-15; Colossians 3:13)  Apply  1. We all need to be forgiven: Implicit in this instruction from Jesus is the reality that we have things in our lives that we need to be forgiven for. In other words, recognising that we have done wrong. Today, more and more, we see that less and less people are willing to admit their faults, let alone confessing that in Biblical terms that they have sinned in any way. People, whether individually or in pressure groups and political parties, are happy to highlight and oppose what they define as the wrongdoing of others, whether real or imagined. But they are very reluctant to admit that they have done anything wrong. So often today people and organisations totally refuse to apologise for wrong behaviour, or if they do so, they issue a non-apology apology saying ‘I am sorry if you have been offended by anything I said or did' but not ‘I am sorry for having been offensive or spoken offensively.' This is of course stubbornness and pride. Pride is something that we are encouraged to promote today with the idea that you don't have to be forgiven for anything. This is how many people rationalise their actions: ‘I have nothing whatsoever to be forgiven for. I have the right to what I decide what I am. I can do whatever I want to do. Since I decide what's right, I am always right, and therefore I have nothing to apologise for. Certainly, I don't need to be forgiven by God or anyone else.' Well of course all this is a very self-serving and subjective approach to life and is the complete opposite to what the Bible teaches (James 4:6). God lays out in the Scripture what is right and what is wrong, what is bad and what is good (Romans 3:23). Everyone, all of us, needs to be forgiven for our sins and wrongdoing (1 John 1:8-10). We need to look into our hearts and face up to what we need to be forgiven for, whether it is pride, anger, bitterness, sexual sin or unforgiveness. Are you prepared to do that?  2.

Notorious Nazi doctor, ‘Angel of Death' Josef Mengele, spent the last twenty years of his life on the run. His remains were recovered in São Paulo on 6th June, 1985, when Brazilian Police dug up the grave of a man named “Wolfgang Gerhard” - later proven to be Mengele, who'd drowned at a beach resort at the age of 68. Mengele, responsible for sending up to 400,000 Jews to their deaths at Auschwitz, was able to escape to Argentina via Italy after the War, even living freely under his real name for a period, before Mossad and ‘Nazi Hunter' Simon Wiesenthal began hunting him down more assiduously.

In the days following September 2, 1945, there were few labels more abhorrent than that of ‘Nazi.' As the events of the Holocaust and Adolf Hitler's genocide against Europe's Jewish community and other groups and minorities came to light, anyone associated with the Nazi's or anyone linked to their repulsive deeds were put on trial and held accountable for their actions. SS officers and Nazi officials scattered throughout Europe in a frantic race to escape prosecution. They assumed false identities and took refuge in the few countries that sympathized with their ideologies and whose extradition laws kept them safe. Subsequently, in the years after World War II, Nazi hunters like the famed Simon Wiesenthal would scour the ends of the earth trying to find these criminals and bring them to justice. For some 1,600 German, Nazi elite - scientists, engineers - however, one government in particular recruited them… welcomed them, embraced them after 1945. They didn't have to hide their entities. The resumes they built during WWII is what set them apart from their colleagues. This country and the project they were being chosen for… might surprise you. What lengths were countries willing to go to during the height of the Cold War, under the threat of the Nuclear Age, when they willingly signed… A Deal with the Devil.

"When history looks back," Wiesenthal explained, "I want people to know the Nazis weren't able to kill millions of people and get away with it." His work stands as a reminder and a warning for future generations.   Very few of the prisoners survived the westward trek through Plaszow, Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald, which ended at Mauthausen in upper Austria. Weighing less than 100 pounds and lying helplessly in a barracks where the stench was so strong that even hardboiled SS guards would not enter, Wiesenthal was barely alive when Mauthausen was liberated by the 11th Armored Division of the Third U.S. Army on May 5, 1945. As soon as his health was sufficiently restored, Wiesenthal began gathering and preparing evidence on Nazi atrocities for the War Crimes Section of the United States Army. After the war, he also worked for the Army's Office of Strategic Services and Counter-Intelligence Corps and headed the Jewish Central Committee of the United States Zone of Austria, a relief and welfare organization. Late in 1945, he and his wife, each of whom had believed the other to be dead, were reunited, and in 1946, their daughter Pauline was born.   Take a breathtaking journey through dramatic events in 20th century history.

Juan 1: 18, NVIEN UNA OCASIÓN LE PREGUNTARON AL NOVELISTA y el dramaturgo canadiense Douglas Coupland cuál era su mayor temor. Su respuesta fue: «Que Dios existe, pero que no se preocupe mucho por nosotros los humanos». *La declaración de Coupland nos recuerda un interesante relato que cuenta Simon Wiesenthal en su obra clásica sobre el Holocausto. Ahí Wiesenthal narra que una noche, mientras se disponía a dormir, le parecía escuchar voces que murmuraban algo de unas noticias radiales. Al poco rato, su amigo Arthur le aclaró que no se obtuvo de noticias de radio, sino de lo que alguien le había escuchado decir a una anciana. Entonces Simon le preguntó a su amigo Arthur si la anciana había dicho algo sobre el futuro de ellos, si saldrían de ese infierno, o si finalmente los matarían.-Nada de eso ---respondió Arthur— Lo que ella dijo fue: «Dios debe estar de permiso».Cuando se levantó en la mañana, Simon no grababa si la conversación con Arthur había sido real o si todo había sido un sueño. Su amigo le aclaró que no había sido un sueño. Un tal Josek le había preguntado a la anciana si había alguna nueva noticia y ella, levantado sus ojos al cielo, le imploró a Dios «que regresara de su permiso». **¿Tú qué piensas? ¿Estaba Dios «de permiso» durante las atrocidades del Holocausto? ¿Lo está hoy en un mundo lleno de tanta maldad y sufrimiento? ¡Absolutamente no! Si algo nos recuerda nuestro texto de hoy es que, desde que Jesucristo se hizo hombre, ya no hemos de abrigar duda alguna acerca del profundo amor de Dios por nosotros. Si así no fuera, ¿por qué el Padre permitió que su Hijo sufriera tanto y al final muriera crucificado?¿Cuál es entonces la noticia? No es, precisamente, que Dios esté de permiso. Es que «de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna» (Juan 3:16). La noticia es que, en nuestros peores momentos, cuando pensamos que Dios nos ha abandonado, es cuando más cerca está de nosotros. La noticia es que, después de haber entregado a su Hijo en sacrificio, Dios no dejará de cumplir su promesa de estar con nosotros «todos los días hasta el fin del mundo».Tiene sentido. ¿No te parece? Gracias, Jesucristo, por darnos a conocer el amor del Padre. Gracias porque un día crearás cielos nuevos y una tierra nueva donde más la justicia.*Citado por Nathan Brown, «God Was Dead», en Record, 16 de abril de 2011, p. 15. **Simón Wiesenthal, el Girasol.

But Simon Wiesenthal's story would not be like any others. For one, Wiesenthal had to survive not a single but five different labor camps. He suffered through a death march. Within weeks of his final camp's liberation, Wiesenthal created a list of Nazis who, in his opinion, had somehow fled or gotten away and volunteered to search for them himself. Not only would he survive the Nazis, but he would spend the rest of his life hunting them! Follow all the madness on social media!

Judgment Day had arrived: February 23, 1965. Herbert Cukurs carried his gun in a leather holster as he boarded the plane to Uruguay and headed off into what he must have imagined was his new life. The men of the Mossad kill team were spread out in various hotels across Montevideo. They woke up early on that February morning and began to get ready for the Butcher's arrival.  The spy later wrote, “We planned a very brief court-martial in which we intended to read the charges to [Cukurs], in the name of the 30,000 Jews from Riga and Latvia – children, women, the elderly, and men – who had been murdered by him... We wanted him to know that this entire long affair with Anton Kuenzle had been designed only to set the stage for the moment of revenge in the name of his innocent victims. And then we were going to put a bullet in his head.” Germany's planned amnesty for Nazis was getting more and more international attention. In the US, the NAACP had added its name to Simon Wiesenthal's letter. Pressure was building, both for the amnesty and against it. The full debate in the German parliament was scheduled for March 10th, two and a half weeks away. The Mossad team was cutting things close. Maybe they thought the fresher Cukurs' crimes were in the minds of German legislators, the better it was for their cause. Maybe it just took this long to get the Butcher into position. But they knew they didn't have a lot of time to mount another mission if things went wrong. By now, thousands of people around the world had marched against Germany's amnesty. In Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, Tel Aviv, and Paris, there were protests. A journalist interviewed one of the marchers in Toronto. She told him, “I am the only survivor of Bergen-Belsen of my entire family. I am so lonely without my relatives.” At the Casa, the kill team undressed down to their underwear. If the reports had been correct, the encounter would be bloody, and they didn't want the evidence of a struggle on their clothes. They waited in the hot, humid room, listening to the workers' banter next door and the noise of their tools. They checked their watches.  This episode contains interviews with Fernando Butazzoni, award-winning journalist and author of the 2020 book on Mossad's Cukurs mission, Los Que Nunca Olvidarán (Those Who Will Never Forget) “Good Assassins: Hunting the Butcher" came out of Stephan Talty's work on a related book, The Good Assassin.

The spy had gotten a step closer to the Butcher. Comparing Israel's mission to assassinate Herbert Cukurs to the US mission to assassinate Osama Bin Laden, the latter was revenge. But when Israel and Mossad decided to kill The Butcher of Latvia, it was to prevent more killing of Jews. Things were starting to heat up with the Statute of Limitations, which was the whole reason for the mission: to stop Germany from giving Nazi killers a free pass for their atrocities. Importantly, a famous Nazi hunter joined the cause: Simon Wiesenthal. Wiesenthal was a master publicist and self-promoter and was obsessed with finding the men and women responsible for the Holocaust and bringing Nazis to justice. “Good Assassins: Hunting the Butcher" came out of Stephan Talty's work on a related book, The Good Assassin. Explore other parts of this story in the book: Buy The Good Assassin There was also the question of the assassination method. Mossad had many ways to take someone out, what they called “targeted killings.” Yosef Yariv's job was to recruit the rest of the team that would fly to South America to join Mio and carry out the sentence on the Butcher. The team would need to train in how to bring down a strong, desperate man who has just realized he's fighting for his life.  Yariv found a guy. His name was Imi Lichtenfeld. Lichtenfeld had created a street-­fighting technique called Krav Maga (“close combat” in Hebrew), which allowed practitioners to inflict the most damage in the shortest possible time. In 1948, the Israel Defense Forces had adopted Krav Maga for training its recruits and named Imi Lichtenfeld Chief Instructor for Physical Fitness. In 1964, Lichtenfeld began to lead secret training sessions with the kill team.  This episode contains interviews with H. Keith Melton, intelligence historian and expert on espionage tradecraft and Eyal Yanilov, co-founder and Chief Instructor of Krav Maga Global.

The spy surveils his target and finally meets Herbert Cukurs — The Butcher of Latvia — in person. Mio had known people like the Butcher earlier in his life. He'd grown up in Germany during the rise of Hitler. Now he was getting to know a Nazi again, being friendly, even drinking with him. Mio kept his parents in his mind constantly. He actually dreamt about them during the mission — bad dreams. So for Mio it was something he could not forget and he could not forgive. Mio said when he was given the mission in September 1964 to assassinate Herbert Cukurs, it was like reopening a book; the unfinished story of his parents and their fate during the war. He felt there was a final chapter to be written. “Good Assassins: Hunting the Butcher" came out of Stephan Talty's work on a related book, The Good Assassin. Explore other parts of this story in the book: Buy The Good Assassin As Mio was making contact with Cukurs in Brazil, on the other side of the Atlantic a man named Tuviah Friedman was headed to the German capital for a meeting with the Justice Minister. He had a presentation to give, and if he succeeded with it, it would make Mio's mission pointless. Tuviah Friedman was a Nazi hunter. In fact, Friedman was considered one of the two leading Nazi-hunters in the world, second only to the more famous activist Simon Wiesenthal.  Friedman had grown up in Poland. He and his family had watched the Nazis arrive. The Germans soon put them in a ghetto. Friedman saw Jews being murdered around him; his father starved himself to death so that his children would have more to eat. Friedman's younger brother, Herschel, and his sister Itka were taken away to concentration camps, and Friedman himself was transported to a sub-camp of Auschwitz.  Tuviah Friedman survived the Holocaust by the sheer ferocity of his will. But his family didn't survive. In the chaos of the post-war period, Friedman hunted down German killers. His specialty was Gestapo officers and SS men; if he saw one of their black uniforms, he would be filled with a rage that sometimes drove him to extremes. He would beat them and sometimes kill them. He was a Jewish avenger, the real thing. Other Nazi hunters never physically put their hands on their enemies. Friedman did. At the same time, there was another Nazi-hunting mission going on. Mossad had sent another agent to Damascus, Syria. His name was Eli Cohen. Cohen's main mission was to find out what Syria was up to: war with Israel? building up their forces? But dozens of Nazis had fled to Syria after World War II and Eli Cohen was also hoping to eliminate them.

Despite a definite divide in their wealth and status, the two boys were good friends.

During the war, Ben and Andrei fled their hometown under very different circumstances and reasons.

As one of the Guardian's first female foreign correspondents, Hella Pick reported on events that shaped the world in the second half of the 20th century, from Martin Luther King's civil rights activism to Watergate, the Gdansk shipyard strikes to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Born in Vienna in 1929, she was raised by her mother who, in March 1939, put her on a Kindertransport train to Britain to escape the Nazis. Her mother was able to follow her to England a few months later and Hella spent her formative years in the Lake District. After reading Politics at London School of Economics, she worked as commercial editor of a London-based weekly publication called West Africa. After she left, she offered her services to The Guardian – and spent the next 35 years or so with the paper. While UN correspondent, she worked alongside Alistair Cooke in New York and subsequently held posts as European Integration correspondent, Washington correspondent, Eastern Europe correspondent, and diplomatic editor before retiring in the mid-1990s. Since leaving The Guardian, she has nurtured a new career as a writer, publishing a biography of Simon Wiesenthal and a book about Austria's post-war history.BOOK: Scorn by Matthew Parris LUXURY: Recliner armchair FAVOURITE TRACK: Mozart's Marriage of FigaroPresenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Cathy Drysdale
