Wir haben KZ-Gedenkstätten und Stolpersteine, die an das Nazi-Regime erinnern. Aber es gibt auch viele Orte des Terrors, die nach 1945 vergessen wurden - also „Gras über die Geschichte" wuchs. Das trifft auf viele der über 100 so genannten „Arbeitserziehungslager“ zu, in die Ausländer wie Deutsche willkürlich eingesperrt wurden, wenn die Geheime Staatspolizei oder die SS es so wollten.

The ocean has always captured mankind's imagination. But where some saw endless potential for travel, trade, and exploration, others could only imagine what untold terrors might be lurking in its depths. Ask any sailor, modern or ancient, and they'll tell you that the sea is not only a natural force but a supernatural one. As more people begin to confront the thousands of firsthand accounts of mysterious terror of the deep, it becomes clear that there are things above and below the waves that may never be explained.

The most evil of the evil are sometimes sentenced to death.

Long before ‘The Conjuring' franchise twisted Valak into a terrifying nun, this ancient demon haunted medieval grimoires as a sinister child atop a two-headed dragon—commanding serpents and leading an army of demons.IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

TODAY, WE WILL CONTINUE EXPLORING THE DEPTHS OF WHAT THE TOWN OF GOLIAD, IN ITS DECEPTIVELY STANDARD SMALL TEXAS TOWN DISGUISE HAS TO OFFER TO A CURIOUS MIND. The rich history of Presidio La Bahía is in many ways, the story of Texas. We learn about Tejano life, the frenetic battles between Mexicans, Spanish colonists, American newcomers and opposing ideologies to control this strategically located place. Remember The Alamo! Remember Goliad! become rallying cries to summon our hearts' function as the inner chapels of refuge we possess, the metronomes of life that we rarely remember to visit. I invite you to envision your heart as a living room in which you can entertain every emotion that appears, unbidden, entertain them, and send them on their way. I also ask a plain and powerful question: Would you even recognize the unique melody of your heart if you heard it?
