"Someone needs to be alive to tell our story." That's what the Jewish believers in the Warsaw Ghetto told Rachmiel Friedland before he escaped. Dr. Mitch Glaser shares their story and why it matters for us today as antisemitism rises again.
Holocaust education is required by law in dozens of American states — but the tools to teach it haven't kept pace with the students who need to receive it. Rabbi Michael Beyo and Dr. Simon Young founded Six Million Voices to close that gap. Using museum-grade photorealistic 360-degree reconstructions — no VR headset, no app, just a browser — they take students inside Auschwitz, the Warsaw Ghetto, the synagogues burned on Kristallnacht, and the streets of a Jewish world that no longer exists. More than 350,000 people have been reached. Over 70,000 are high school students.Laurie Cardoza-Moore sat down with both men at NRB 2026 for a conversation that goes deeper than technology. The story of the Jewish people does not begin with the Holocaust and it does not end there. It begins with Abraham. And for Christians, understanding that story — honestly, fully, without flinching — is not optional. It is biblical.

“Everybody's dead. Don't ask me about anybody. Everybody's dead.” This is the story of the Final Solution. From Anne Frank's annex to countless ghettos, Jews who have thus far avoided the concentration camps are increasingly being funneled there. Jewish leaders like Chaim Rumkowski face impossible dilemmas—who should be sent to the camps? On the other hand, some Warsaw Ghetto inhabitants choose to fight back, their last ditch efforts to resist and escape living on in the words of only a few survivors. Even as the ghettos and their inhabitants are liquidated, Dr. Josef Mengele and others at Auschwitz continue their own work of death. We'll witness, in order, how people go from cramped cattle car to crematoria; and keep in mind, Auschwitz is but one of many. All together, these accounts from survivors will hopefully provide as complete an overview of the Holocaust's extermination camps as one episode can. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Over two decades, more than 350 Latham lawyers have taken on Holocaust reparations matters, helping Holocaust survivors apply for pensions for work performed in Nazi-controlled ghettos during World War II. In this episode of Connected With Latham, Laura Atkinson-Hope, Public Service Counsel and Director of Global Pro Bono at Latham, sits down with Anna Bravo, Attorney Support Manager and longtime leader of the firm's Holocaust reparations program, and Isabelle Sarfati, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor client. Together, they reflect on the completion of Latham's final reparations case in 2025, the challenges survivors faced in documenting their experiences, and how Isabelle's curiosity and research about her father's experience in the Warsaw Ghetto ultimately led to a successful outcome for her family.

In 1897, a small group of Jewish Marxists on the outskirts of the Russian empire founded the General Jewish Labour Bund. The Bundists were revolutionary socialists, unapologetic internationalists, champions of the Yiddish language, and implacable foes of nationalism of every stripe, including (especially) Zionism. Bundists helped found the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, organized militias to defend Jews against pogroms, fought on the frontlines of the 1905 and 1917 revolutions, fought fascists wherever they found them, and helped lead the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The history of the Bund is largely forgotten today — in part because Bundists were such early and prescient critics of Zionism. As one of its leader said in 1933, "If Jewish nationalism, as a general rule, is not bloodthirsty, this is only out of necessity, not virtue; if an appropriate opportunity arose, Jewish nationalism would show its sharp teeth and nails no less than the nationalisms of other nations.” Thankfully, Crabapple spent the last seven years rediscovering the Bund's fascinating history for her new book: Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund. It was thrilling to have her on to discuss it. “For leftist Jews longing for resources within our own past for combating the Zionist death cult," Crabapple says, "the Bund is a model.” Further Reading: Molly Crabapple, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, (April 2026) Sam Adler-Bell, "For leftist Jews, the Bund is a model': the radical history behind one of Europe's biggest socialist movements," The Guardian, Apr 7, 2026.

In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives. The heroes we'll meet today were doctors, nurses, and medical students—people trained to heal the body. People who found themselves in situations where acts of healing became acts of resistance.You'll hear the story of Irena Sendler, a Polish nurse who walked into the Warsaw Ghetto again and again, working to rescue Jewish children from unimaginable suffering.You'll also meet Dr. Rudolf Weigl, a scientist who studied typhus and used his laboratory—and the Nazis' own fear—to protect Jewish lives.And finally, we'll travel to Budapest to remember Clara Ambrus, a nineteen-year-old medical student who risked everything to save a Jewish friend, and kept going even as the danger grew.These stories remind us that healing is more than a profession—it's a calling, and a choice to show courage and compassion when it matters most.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present day—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.

In 1943, one of the most notable acts of Jewish resistance during World War II took place. For nearly one month, residents of the Warsaw Ghetto fought against Nazi soldiers who were attempting to transport the residents to concentration camps. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest single Jewish Revolt during the war, was well-organized, hard-fought, and a symbol of Jewish resilience.

“This year very few Hanukkah candles were lit.” / “This is a strange Christmas Eve.” This is the story of 1941's wartime holiday season. It's difficult to conjure up a more miserable picture than the Warsaw Ghetto, but Jewish residents are doing their best to stay close to their faith in spite of the dismal circumstances. In a sermon that draws parallels between this hungry, fearful group and the Maccabees of old, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira will bring a little light to these dark times. Meanwhile, Christmas in the U.S. comes just as the country is shifting into gear for war with Japan and Germany. President Roosevelt projects confidence and hope at the annual White House Christmas tree lighting, and he's even brought along a special guest… (a much better orator than Santa). Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and happy holidays to all. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and Research Professor at the Fletcher School, Tufts University, historicises the way “famine” in the postcolonial era was an extremely emotional word for which, fifty years ago, there were no appropriate structures nor any objective scientific metric for understanding where or when famine was occurring. By 1984-1985, however, the neoliberal governments of Thatcher and Reagan became deeply embarrassed by the famine in Ethiopia, de Waal narrates. From this embarrassment, an industry of refining the metrics of understanding what counted as famine, and what did not, was born, and from this, the IPC, or Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, was developed as the standardised UN system used to classify the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition in a specific area. De Waal discusses how the international aid system has been shackled into into viewing famine in a very apolitical way, refusing to exam the structural causes driving famine largely because international NGOs steered away from criticising governments in order to maintain cooperation for their relief work and that Western publics give assistance to victims of natural disasters as part of the “white saviour” theatre which depends upon eliding the political causes. Declaiming the importance of photography in chronicling the history of famine—from the Warsaw Ghetto, to the famine in Ethiopia (1983-1985), and Gaza—de Waal observes the dual role of these photos: first, that the perpetrator of famine was not only absent from the frame, but was often the person taking the photo; and second, that because the perpetrator was rarely within the frame, the subjects of these photos were often blamed as the true perpetrators of famine, such that Jews attempting to preserve a “veneer of normality” in the Warsaw Ghetto or Palestinians in Gaza who are more portly, were ultimatley inculpated as the cause of the famine. Considering the merits of Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET), he notes that it lacks the key element of examining the policies and intention of those doing the starvation. De Waal underscores that “to starve” does not just refer to the experience of people starving, but it also means the act of starving people, as he goes on to describe how the East India Company, through onerous taxation from 1769 to 1770, created a famine in Bihar and Bengal, ultimately killing one-third of the population.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most storied events of the Holocaust, yet previous accounts of have almost entirely focused on its male participants.

In this special episode of The Fire These Times, Elia is joined by four members of the From The Periphery media collective to talk about the ongoing famine in Gaza, Israel's genocide and the world's complicity. Despite the obviously horrific nature of this topic, we insisted on not giving in to despair. The génocidaires cannot win.The five participants connected to the Gaza genocide through their own respective experiences: Leila Al-Shami (Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution) is a Syrian-British activist and writer who lived in Gaza for three years; Karena Avedissian (Obscuristan) is an Armenian scholar who continues to reflect on the legacy of the Armenian genocide and the role of Genocide studies today; Daniel Voskoboynik (Hidah: Jewish Counter-Colonial Thoughts) joined us from what used to be the Warsaw Ghetto, site of one of the most infamous episodes of the Holocaust; israa' (The Mutual Aid Podcast) has been involved in Gaza mutual aid (click here for the link); and finally Elia is a Palestinian-Lebanese whose grandfather was a Palestinian refugee.They spoke about pushing back against despair, and the importance of rejecting Israel's genocide as the new normal.

"We died a thousand deaths before we were murdered," is the stand out quote from today's conversation with Rebbetzin Lisa Cook, rebbetzin of the Cincinnati Jewish Experience (CJX). This quote says it all!Rebbetzin Lisa is teaches mikvah education to Jewish women of all backgrounds and levels, works as a mikvah attendant at the Cincinnati community mikvah, is part of the Cincy chevra kadisha, and is currently in the 3rd cohort of the Core MMC Program led by Rebbetzins Aliza Bulow, Debbie Greenblatt, and Rochel Goldbaum.One of the aspects of her job that Rebbetzin Lisa is most passionate about is taking people on trips to Poland, where they experience what life was like for the Jews of Poland before, during, and after the Holocaust. Rebbetzin Lisa's groups visit concentration camps, such as Treblinka and Auschwitz, cemetaries such as the Warsaw Cemetary, and other historical sites like the Warsaw Ghetto and Bialystok. The men and women who participate in these trips are not just learning about Jewish history in Poland, they are experiencing the sites and the stories first hand. They are standing in the same places where their ancestors stood, just a few decades ago. They hear stories of what pre-war Poland was like, from the Polish people themselves--Jews and non-Jews alike. This experience is incredibly personal and life-changing for many. Kosher food is provided for the people on the trip, as they are deeply affected, inspired, awed and empowered by what they are witnessing.If you would like to participate in a Poland Experience trip with Rebbetzin Lisa, please contact me, and I will put you in touch with her.

In this episode, we journey through the mystical depths of three Hasidic masters—Maor VaShemesh, Esh Kodesh, and Mei HaShiloach—each offering profound insight into how we navigate moments of spiritual and existential pressure. The Maor VaShemesh teaches us that the splitting of the sea was not just a miracle of nature, but a revelation of inner harmony—when kindness, strength, and integration merge, barriers dissolve, and hidden light is released. The sea within us parts when we align ourselves with the deepest compassion and spiritual clarity. The Esh Kodesh, writing from within the Warsaw Ghetto, dares to suggest something even more radical: that God, in infinite love, values the dignity of humanity so deeply that the Divine forgoes Divine honor for the sake of human honor. Even in a world on fire, this teaching insists that our worth is non-negotiable. The Mei HaShiloach reminds us that when God's will is hidden and the path unclear, we are called not to over-intellectualize, but to return to simple awe. In moments of doubt, we anchor ourselves in humility, choosing devotion over certainty. Together, these teachings offer a map for living with courage, humility, and fierce love—especially when we find ourselves between the narrow place and the sea.
YOU - The Master Entrepreneur - A Guide to True Greatness with Stan Hustad
Well I hope not but that might be a wise thing to consider. And I am sure that many others are doing just that. This is April 1 and I'm not fooling around about anything. I am discovering that we are going to be in for some real turbulence in life and business and perhaps we need to know how to handle things and take advantage of other things in this time of turbulence, transitions, and possible transformations, So please give me just 15 minutes to challenge your thinking and perhaps see if I can help you do some things that will make things better for you... Because I think I can. Now let me introduce you to what Stosh the radio robot had to say aout the program ... He is pretty smart so take some time to listen and to read.... Should my Jewish and Tesla-Driving Friends Start Carrying a Gun? By Stan the Radio Man This isn't a question I ever thought I'd ask out loud. But here we are. April Fool's Day isn't hitting the same this year. Maybe because the joke's on all of us. Or maybe because things have gotten so absurd, so twisted, that even asking “should my Jewish and Tesla-owning friends start carrying a gun?” doesn't feel like satire anymore. I'm not trying to be sensational. I'm trying to sort things out—just like I asked God in a recent prayer. Help me sort things out… and then sort me in. Show me where I belong in all this. Where we all belong. Because 2025 isn't just a year on the calendar—it's a turning point. A time of turbulence, yes. But also a time of transition, and if we're wise and brave, maybe even transformation. That's the tension we're living in. That's what today's “Interesting Ideas” is all about. The Underlying Fear Across campuses like Harvard and Columbia, reports are rolling in that Jewish students don't feel safe. We're seeing a rise in antisemitism, not whispered but shouted in the open. Vandalism of Tesla cars—just because they represent a certain class, or carry perceived political weight. And in the middle of it all are real people—your neighbors, your friends, your family—wondering, Am I next? It makes you wonder: what would you do to protect yourself, your family, your peace? One friend of mine—Jewish, peace-loving, and proud—told me recently, “I carry.” In Arizona, that's legal. Open carry, just like the Old West. He's got an ankle holster, ready if things go sideways. Not because he wants to use it. But because he doesn't want to be caught unprepared. The painful part is—this isn't just paranoia. It's remembering history. Echoes from Amsterdam Years ago, when I lived in Amsterdam, I often took visitors to the Anne Frank House. There was a quiet protest once by a Jewish group—not anti-Anne Frank, not anti-anything really. Just a plea: Let's not let it happen again. They pointed out something I'd never fully grasped: What if someone had been ready when the Gestapo came? What if resistance started sooner? Would it have changed anything? Some argue yes. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising, for instance, proved that resistance can exact a cost—even when ultimately crushed. It was a declaration: We will not go quietly. But is that where we are now? Back at the edge of the abyss? Tesla, Symbols, and Targets Teslas have become more than just electric cars. For some, they symbolize progress. For others, elitism. Either way, they've become targets—scratched, keyed, smashed. A strange sort of backlash. When objects become symbols, and people get targeted for owning them, we're in dangerous territory. When identities—Jewish, tech-forward, urban, progressive, whatever—are turned into excuses for violence, we all lose. So the question I asked—about Jews and Tesla drivers carrying weapons—isn't just about guns. It's about fear. And choice. And where we go from here. The Drip Effect I've got a little background behind me when I broadcast, a reminder of what I call the “drip effect.” Sometimes it's the little things, drop by drop, that wear us down. But it can also be the small efforts, one at a time, that make things better. It's not all doom and gloom. I believe in the drip of kindness, of community, of resilience. That's the part we can't lose. Takeaways to Consider Fear is real. Dismissing it doesn't help. Neither does giving in to it. History teaches—but we must listen. “Never again” means vigilance, not silence. Symbols matter. Cars, identities, beliefs—these can inspire or inflame. Be mindful. Protection is personal. The right to defend oneself is real, but so is the cost of living on edge. Connection is key. Talk to your neighbors. Know their stories. Build the kind of world where guns aren't necessary. Moving Forward, Together These are turbulent times. Like that bumpy flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix—seatbelts fastened the whole way—we're riding through unknown skies. But turbulence doesn't mean the plane will crash. It just means we need to hold on, be aware, and trust each other a little more. So here's the encouragement I leave you with: Choose to be one of the good drips. Be the one who checks on a friend. Who speaks up when something's not right. Who listens deeply to the fear and the frustration—and then does something helpful, not harmful, in response. We don't all need to carry weapons. But we do need to carry each other. Reach out to me. Share your story. Tell me what you're seeing, what you're feeling, what ideas you have for helping people through this. I'm at stan@witradio.net, and I mean it when I say—I want to hear from you. Till next time, I'm Stan the Radio Man Still believing in Interesting Ideas Still believing in you
In this special Purim episode of The Neshamah Project, we explore two powerful teachings from the Esh Kodesh, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, delivered in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940 and 1942. The Piaseczno Rebbe teaches that the joy of Purim isn't dependent on circumstances—it's a decree, even when joy feels impossible. Through the mystical idea of Or Makif—a surrounding light beyond human merit—he shows that salvation and joy can reach us even in the darkest times. Join us as we reflect on how his words offer hope and strength, even when everything seems lost.
Send us a textEpisode 174In the darkest days of World War II, when the Nazi regime sought to erase entire communities, one woman defied them—not with weapons, but with courage, deception, and an unbreakable will. Irena Sendler was an ordinary social worker who became an extraordinary hero, risking everything to smuggle Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto. She did this under the watchful eyes of the Gestapo, using clever disguises, secret codes, and sheer nerve.Arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death, she never broke—never revealed the names of the thousands she had saved. And yet, for decades, her story remained in the shadows.This is the story of one woman's quiet defiance against overwhelming evil. It is a story of impossible choices, of sacrifice, and of a legacy that refuses to fade.Join me as we uncover the incredible life of Irena Sendler—a woman who didn't just stand against tyranny, but outwitted it.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com
Today, The Fellowship's C.J. Burroughs continues his story about the Polish actor and his daughter who were named Righteous Gentiles for providing refuge for Jewish families who had escaped the Warsaw Ghetto.
Today, The Fellowship's C.J. Burroughs tells the story of a Polish actor who provided refuge for one of his daughter's Jewish friends who had escaped the Warsaw Ghetto.
In early 1943, the remaining residents of the Warsaw Ghetto rose up against the SS. Farther east, the German Army uncovers the mass grave where the Soviet NKVD buried thousands of murdered Polish Army officers.
As the largest Jewish community in prewar Europe, Warsaw, Poland is a prime destination on many European Jewish history tours. One of the unique elements of a visit to Jewish Warsaw is a walk through its vast cemetery. Full of history, kivrei tzadikim and the rich tapestry of prewar Polish Jewry, it provides a singular perspective into a vanished world. While the majority of tours focus on several highlights of the cemetery such as the first chief rabbi of Warsaw the Chemdas Shlomo, the mass grave of victims of the Warsaw Ghetto, the Netziv of Volozhin & Rav Chaim Brisker, the Modzhitz, Slonim & Radomsk Rebbes, etc., there is really so much more there than meets the eye. This episode will explore some of the less frequently visited personalities and memorials of the Warsaw cemetery, including other prominent Warsaw rabbis such as Rav Avraham Tzvi Perlmutter, many other Chassidic leaders such as the Biala, Vorka, Radzymin, Amshinov, Radzyn, Pilov, Sokolov and other rebbes, cultural and political aspects of prewar Warsaw such as the Yiddish writers, Yiddish theater, the Bund, Judenrat head Adam Czerniakow, and much much more. Get ready for an urban lively journey through a historic cemetery! Cross River, a leading financial institution committed to supporting its communities, is proud to sponsor Jewish History Soundbites.

Read With Jenna Book Club Pick! New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein chats with Zibby about WE MUST NOT THINK OF OURSELVES, a gripping story of love and sacrifice inspired by the real-life efforts of the Oneg Shabbat group, a clandestine archive project in the Warsaw Ghetto in WWII. Lauren recounts the harrowing history of the ghetto, Emanuel Ringelblum's leadership in documenting Jewish life under Nazi oppression, and her inspiration to write this deeply personal and historical work during the pandemic. The conversation dives into the theme of resilience, Lauren's fascination with family dynamics in her books, and the importance of preserving memory.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4hWPjdMShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

Irena Sendler was a Polish social worker who risked her life to save 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto during World War Two. Irena, a Catholic, was able to enter the ghetto because of her job. She was soon smuggling in food, medicine and clothing; and smuggling out children. And, as a member of the Zegota underground resistance movement, she recruited others to help. Some children were hidden in suitcases, potato sacks, and even inside coffins. Others escaped through sewers. In 1943, Irena was caught and tortured by the Gestapo but her supporters bribed a guard and she was released. Irena continued her work under a false name until the end of the war. In 1965, she was given one of Israel's highest honours for non-Jews: the title of Righteous among the Nations. She died in 2008 at the age of 98. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.
