Január 27-én volt 80 éve, hogy a Vörös Hadsereg felszabadította az auschwitzi koncentrációs és megsemmisítő tábort. Az évforduló alkalmából a táborok antifasiszta emlékezetéről beszélgetünk. Hogyan emlékeztünk a fasizmus feletti győzelemre a háború utáni években, évtizedeben? Mi volt a táborok felszabadulásának nemzetközi emléknapja? Miért volt a buchanwaldi tábornak kitüntetett jelentősége? Milyen szerepet játszottak a háborús veteránok, volt foglyok és üldözöttek szervezetei az antifasiszta emlékezeti kánon kialakításában? Mit tudunk meg Auschwitz antifasiszta memoár-irodalmából? Miben különbözik az antifasiszta megemlékezés a holokausztemlékezettől? Az adásban feltárjuk, hogy 1945-től kezdődően milyen kiállítások, múzeumi programok valósultak meg a legnagyobb és a ma leginkább ismert náci koncentrációs és megsemmisítő tábor helyszínén. Arra is választ adunk, hogy miért látogatta meg Auschwitzot a Kispest labdarúgócsapata 1946-ban, köztük a későbbi legendás összeállítás több tagja -- és Puskás miért nem volt köztük.(00:00 – 00:23) Intro(00:24 – 16:15) Lágerek és az antifasiszta emlékezet(16:16 – 34:44) Veteránszervezetek 1945 után(34:45 – 54: 35) Auschwitz-memoárok keleten és nyugaton(54:36- 1:11:44) A magyar út AuschwitzbaAz adásban említett tudományos művek:Becker Maximilian 2016: The Fédération Internationale des Résistants (FIR).

• Originalhörspiel • Eine Schallmauer wird durchbrochen - der Lärm ähnelt einer Bombenexplosion. Wir halten uns die Ohren zu. Wie weit reicht unsere Vorstellungskraft in diesem Moment, dieser einen Sekunde, in der wir glauben, dass ein Krieg begonnen hat? Von Ivana Sajko www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Hörspiel

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 2025 edition of the New York Jewish Film Festival with Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire director Oren Rudavsky and co-producer Annette Insdorf. This conversation was moderated by Rachel Chanoff. With his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir Night, Elie Wiesel forever changed the way the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel's philosophically abundant inner life, depicted with nuance and tenderness, and enriched by access to his personal archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.

Our guest this week is Richard Behar, an award-winning investigative reporter who spent 15 years chronicling the life of Bernie Madoff, the mastermind behind the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Behar is the author of the newly released blockbuster book Madoff: The Final Word. Before Madoff died in prison, Behar and Madoff had more than 50 phone conversations, exchanged more than 300 emails, and met face-to-face three times. When Madoff was arrested in December 2008, his decades-long scam unraveled, revealing approximately $68 billion in purported assets across nearly 5,000 client accounts. In stark contrast, Madoff had less than $300 million, having swindled countless victims, including banks, charities, colleges, pension funds, and notable individuals such as Steven Spielberg, Sandy Koufax, Kevin Bacon, and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. On this week' episode, Behar shares how Madoff sustained his scam for decades, the many people who facilitated his fraud, why his investors were so gullible, and what steps everyone should take to avoid falling victim to swindlers. As an exclusive bonus, listeners will hear two short private phone conversations between Behar and Madoff, recorded during Madoff's incarceration at a federal prison in Butner, North Carolina. Behar, honored as one of the top 100 business journalists of the 20th century, has received more than 20 major journalism awards. He previously worked on the staff of Forbes, Time, and Fortune. He also contributed reporting to CNN, PBS, and the BBC. If you believe you could never be tricked like thousands of Madoff's trusting investors were, you need to listen closely to this week's episode. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

In dieser Folge diskutieren Albert und Jan mit dem Philosophen und Vermögensverwalter Dr. Georg von Wallwitz darüber, was uns Homers Odysseus und seine Odyssee für das Leben lehrt. Wallwitz hat sich für sein Buch „Odysseus und die Wiesel“, das die SZ für seinen Witz und philosophische Gelassenheit lobt, intensiv mit dem antiken Helden und Irrfahrer beschäftigt. Odysseus, oft als Urbild eines weisen Menschen beschrieben, meistert dank seiner Neugier und List zahlreiche Gefahren, erleidet aber auch schwere Schicksalsschläge und Herausforderungen unter der Willkür der Götter. Wir beleuchten, wie Odysseus' Erfahrungen und Tugenden ihm in schwierigen Situationen weiterhelfen und welche Schwächen ihn behindern. Zudem wird der Frage nachgegangen, was wir aus seinem Umgang mit Fehlern und dem Scheitern lernen können.

Leitura bíblica do dia: João 13:21-32 Plano de leitura anual: Juízes 4-6; Lucas 4:31-44; O romance de Elie Wiesel, A Noite, narra os horrores do Holocausto e as experiências em campos de extermínio. Seu relato inverte a história bíblica do Êxodo. Enquanto Moisés e os israelitas livraram-se da escravidão na primeira Páscoa (Êxodo 12), Wiesel relata como os nazistas prenderam os líderes judeus após a Páscoa. Não critiquemos Wiesel e sua sombria ironia. A Bíblia contém reviravolta semelhante. Na noite da Páscoa, Jesus, o esperado para libertar o povo de Deus do sofrimento, em vez disso, permitiu-se ser preso por quem o mataria. João relata essa cena antes da prisão de Jesus. Jesus estava “conturbado em espírito” sobre o que o esperava e, na Última Ceia, Ele previu que sofreria traição (João 13:21). Num ato que mal podemos compreender, Jesus Cristo serviu pão ao Seu traidor. E, tão logo pegou o pão, “Judas saiu depressa, e era noite” (v.30). A maior injustiça da história estava em curso, mas Jesus declarou: “Chegou a hora de o Filho do Homem ser glorificado e, por causa dele, Deus será glorificado” (v.31). Em poucas horas, os discípulos experimentariam pânico, derrota e desânimo, porém Jesus viu o plano de Deus se desenrolar como deveria. Quando parecer que a escuridão está vencendo, lembremo-nos de que Deus enfrentou Sua noite escura e a derrotou. O Senhor anda conosco e nem sempre será noite. Por:  Tim Gustafson

Die Umweltschutzorganisation Pro Natura hat den Iltis zum Tier des Jahres 2024 gekürt. Der Iltis gehört zur Gattung der Wiesel und galt lange als ausgestorben. Der Wildtierbiologe Darius Weber fing in den 80er-Jahren einige Exemplare, versah sie mit Peilsendern und erkundete ihr Leben.  Der Iltis hat einen schlechten Ruf. «Der Iltis ist auf Mord erpicht», schrieb schon Wilhelm Busch. Zudem kann man «stinken wie ein Iltis» oder «schlafen wie ein Ratz». Dass Dichtung und Wahrheit auch in diesem Fall weit auseinander liegen, hat der Wildtierbiologe Darius Weber festgestellt. Er ist Gast im Tagesgespräch und hat seine Doktorarbeit über Iltisse geschrieben. Weber stellte die Fallen am falschen Ort, schlug sich vergebens die Nächte um die Ohren. Iltisse wohnen weder am Wasser, noch sind sie nur nachtaktiv. Diese Lehren zog Darius Weber aus seinen Beobachtungen. Mit seinem Ortssinn sticht der Iltis den Menschen um ein Vielfaches aus. Da er auf Massen von Grasfröschen oder Erdkröten angewiesen ist, steht der wieselartige Jäger seit einigen Jahren auf der Roten Liste der bedrohten Arten. Er ist als verwundbar eingestuft. Geht der Schwund der Amphibien weiter, betrifft dies auch den Froschfresser.

Tzvi Wiesel is the founder and CEO of Baxus, a startup in the wine and spirits industry attempting to revolutionize the way these products are traded, authenticated and valued globally. In this episode, Wiesel explains how his company leverages blockchain technology for ownership proof, authentication and secure storage — and how Baxus aims to address challenges like opaque pricing and legal complexities in the alcoholic beverage market.

In 1986, author and Holocaust-survivor, Elie Wiesel, was awarded for his humanitarian work on behalf of the Jewish community and other historically-oppressed groups. The Speech Guys discuss the legacy of those words, particularly in light of heightened tensions between Israel, Hamas, and Palestinians. The thumbnail image of Mr. Wiesel is used from https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/elie-wiesel-hmd-2017/. The speech audio comes from https://youtu.be/tu-63eViNPo?si=YC8X0vA8b53enMxc.

In this episode of 92NY Talks, join Elisha Wiesel for a reading and conversation about his father Elie Wiesel's writings, commemorating the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. Drawing from Elie Wiesel's published work and the extraordinary archive of 180 lectures he gave at 92NY between 1967 and 2014, Elisha Wiesel offers candid and timely reflections on his father's writings about the long shadow of Kristallnacht, the creation of the state of Israel, his unwavering belief in the resilience of the Jewish spirit. He is introduced by Rabbi David Ingber, Senior Director for Jewish Life and the Bronfman Center at 92NY. The program was recorded on November 8, 2023 in front of a live audience at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

Show Notes for Crazy Wisdom Podcast Episode with Subutai Ahmad Introduction The episode features Subutai Ahmad, the CEO of Numenta and a pioneering figure in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI). The discussion navigates the complex relationship between the human brain's architecture and contemporary AI models like deep learning systems. Topics range from the historical evolution of these disciplines to the cutting-edge research that could shape their future. Historical Perspective The initial inspiration for artificial neural networks came from our rudimentary understanding of how neurons and connections work, going back to the 1940s. Donald Hebb significantly influenced the back-propagation model developed in the 1980s. Hebb's work, combined with the discoveries of Hubel and Wiesel in the '50s, laid the groundwork for understanding how neurons learn features from the visual world, including edge detectors and higher-level shapes. State of Neural Networks Today Despite advancements, today's neural networks still rely on a simplified model of what a neuron is, and they differ fundamentally from biological systems. One glaring difference is in power consumption; a human brain uses only about 20 watts, while running a deep learning network can require power equivalent to an entire city. Learning Modes and Algorithms Deep learning systems usually operate in two modes: inference and training. In contrast, the human brain doesn't distinguish between these states, learning continuously from environmental stimuli. Algorithms, particularly back propagation, are still part of the problem. They try to minimize error, unlike the brain, which adapts and learns contextually. The Numenta Angle Founded by Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky, Numenta has been researching to understand the principles underlying brain function. Recently, they have focused on applying this understanding to AI. Their approach comprises three main pillars: Efficiency: Using 'sparsity' to mimic the brain's efficient use of connections. Neuron Model: Incorporating the complex nature of neurons for continuous learning. Cortical Columns: Employing a standardized neural circuitry model to replicate intelligence. The Road Ahead For the future, Subutai discusses the need for AI systems to be autonomous and embodied, suggesting that agency and embodiment are crucial aspects of intelligent systems. He also touches on the importance of including elements like neuromodulators and even explores the potential role of quantum physics in neural processing. Conclusion We are in a transformative era where AI is far from being fully realized. Organizations are still trying to grasp how to incorporate these technologies effectively. However, the future is promising, especially with interdisciplinary approaches like Numenta's that blend neuroscience with AI, focusing on understanding the brain's core principles to improve AI's capabilities.

Heute bei Dr. Hart und Dr. Zart: Ein Wiesel, das nicht mehr in die Stadt will...

Der Large Hadron Collider ist die größte Maschine der Welt: In einem 27 Kilometer langen Tunnel kollidieren Protonen und erzeugen dabei neue, teilweise bisher unbekannte Teilchen. Doch auch in einem Teilchenbeschleuniger geht manchmal etwas schief, etwa, wenn ein Baum umstürzt oder Wiesel einbricht.

We're ending our exploration of Jewish American Heritage Month with Elie Wiesel. Wiesel's iconic memoir 'Night' is for many, an introduction to the Holocaust. His work as an author, activist, and teacher helped advocate for those whose stories had been ignored. We respect and honor his story and reflect on the role that storytelling plays in keeping us distinctly human. 

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, in which six million Jewish men, women, and children perished at the hands of the Nazis, the Jewish people vowed, “Never forget.” Yet, as host Yael Eckstein and her special guest Elisha Wiesel discuss on today's podcast, an alarming number of adults today know nothing about the Holocaust. Elisha brings a unique perspective to the conversation as the only son of Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Holocaust survivor, and author of Night, his renowned memoir of survival in the Nazi death camps. Their conversation is particularly relevant as this month Israelis commemorate Yom HaShoah, Israel's national Holocaust Remembrance day. Wiesel shares on the podcast his father's legacy, not only as a passionate humanitarian, but as a proud Jew, who wanted to bring light to the dark places in our world. Listen now to this important and insightful conversation.

My conversation with Elie Wiesel -- Holocaust survivor, author, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize -- was recorded in 2013 for the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial and Museum. Our wide-ranging conversation includes memories of his childhood village in Hungary, his experience in the Nazi death camps, and his reflections on humor and friendship. The Nobel Committee, when awarding Wiesel the Peace Prize, stated: "Wiesel is a messenger to mankind: his message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity . . . ." The Committee cited Wiesel's "belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious . . . ." I like to think Wavemaker Conversations is where curiosity meets hope. And I believe that this conversation with Elie Wiesel takes us to that place.

oday I talked to Rabbi Wayne Allen about his book Thinking about Good and Evil: Jewish Views from Antiquity to Modernity (U Nebraska Press, 2021). Starting with the Bible and Apocrypha, Rabbi Allen takes us through the Talmud; medieval Jewish philosophers and Jewish mystical sources; the Ba'al Shem Tov and his disciples; early modern thinkers such as Spinoza, Mendelssohn, and Luzzatto; and, finally, modern thinkers such as Cohen, Buber, Kaplan, and Plaskow. Each chapter analyzes individual thinkers' arguments and synthesizes their collective ideas on the nature of good and evil and questions of justice. Allen also exposes vastly divergent Jewish thinking about the Holocaust: traditionalist (e.g., Ehrenreich), revisionist (e.g., Rubenstein, Jonas), and deflective (e.g., Soloveitchik, Wiesel). Rabbi Allen's engaging, accessible volume illuminates well-known, obscure, and novel Jewish solutions to the problem of good and evil. Matthew Miller is a graduate of Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah.

Eli Wiesel’s novel Night starkly confronts us with the horrors of the Holocaust. Based on his own experiences in Nazi death camps, Wiesel’s account flips the biblical story of the Exodus. While Moses and the Israelites escaped slavery at the first Passover (Exodus 12), Wiesel tells of the SS arresting Jewish leaders following Passover. Lest we criticize Wiesel and his dark irony, consider that the Bible contains a similar plot twist. On the night of Passover, Jesus, expected to free God’s people from suffering, instead permits Himself to be arrested by those who would kill Him. John ushers us into the holy scene before Jesus’s arrest. “Troubled in spirit” over what awaited Him, at the Last Supper Jesus predicted His betrayal (John 13:21). Then, in an act we can scarcely comprehend, Christ served His betrayer bread. The account reads: “As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night” (v. 30). History’s greatest injustice was underway, yet Jesus declared, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him” (v. 31). In a few hours, the disciples would experience panic, defeat, and dejection. But Jesus saw God’s plan unfolding as it should. When it seems as though the darkness is winning, recall that our Lord faced His dark night and defeated it. He walks with us. It will not always be night.
