Rick Halperin, director of the Human Rights Institute at Dedman College (Southern Methodist University) in Dallas, Texas, talks about his experiences visiting concentration camps and other Holocaust commemoration sites in Europe, which he has regularly visited since the 1980s. These visits have been profound for his students, who he has taken to Poland since 2006. Even though countries that signed on to the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and its subsequent treaties have an obligation to provide human rights education to their people, this has been abysmal in the United States.
Trips to Poland are open to the community. For more information about the trips, email Rick at rhalperi@mail.smu.edu

The Yellow Badge with Addison Crissone

I found a copy of this letter at the back of a drawer when i cleared out my dead parents house. There were piles of stuff that had not been touched in years. My father and his mother made it out of Nazi Czechoslovakia alive, most of their family didn't.
The cello is a loop of a friend Polly Henderson playing a Yiddish tango called "Papirosn" ("Cigarettes"} which was apparently a favourite at the time of the letter - perhaps it was some dark humour that drew an equivalence between dying people and burning cigarettes...
The drum is a sample of a Native American shaman.
The letter is read by my friend Rachel, who is an AI.
And the bit of guitar strumming is me.

From an award-winning historian comes a fresh analysis of the rise of Nazi extremism, how such thinking gained popularity, and why it is vital to fight burgeoning extremist movements today

How could the SS have committed the crimes they did? How were the killers who shot Jews at close quarters able to perpetrate this horror? Why did commandants of concentration and death camps willingly—often enthusiastically—oversee mass murder? How could ordinary Germans have tolerated the removal of the Jews?

In The Nazi Mind, bestselling historian Laurence Rees seeks answers to some of the most perplexing questions surrounding the Second World War and the Holocaust. Ultimately, he delves into the darkness to explain how and why these people were capable of committing the worst crime in the history of the world.

From the fringe politics of the 1920s, to the electoral triumph and mass mobilization of the 1930s, through to the Holocaust and the regime’s eventual demise, Rees charts the rise and fall of Nazi mentalities—including the conditions that allowed such a violent ideology to flourish and the sophisticated propaganda effort that sustained it.

Using previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and those who grew up in the Nazi system and in-depth insights based on the latest research of psychologists, The Nazi Mind brings fresh understanding to one of the most appalling regimes in history.

The Nazi Mind By Laurence Rees, Read By John Sackville (Audiobook Excerpt)

Episode Description:

Peter Metzelaar, a Holocaust survivor, joins Beth on today's episode. Peter was born in Amsterdam in 1935. In 1942, when Peter was 7, the Nazis seized Peter's entire family except for Peter and his mother. He tells us his incredible story of survival, resilience, and the importance of Holocaust education.

Bio: 

Peter was born in Amsterdam in 1935. In 1942, when Peter was 7, the Nazis seized Peter's entire family except for Peter and his mother. Peter's mother contacted the Dutch Underground for help. The Underground found Klaas and Roefina Post who agreed to shelter Peter and his mother on their small farm in northern Holland, putting their own lives at risk. For two years they lived with the Posts until it became too dangerous and they found another hiding place with two women in The Hague. Peter, his mother, and his aunt were the only survivors of his family. Klaas and Roefina Post have been recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.

After the war, Peter and his mother immigrated to the United States in 1949, arriving in New York. Peter was 13 and didn't speak any English, but was placed in the 8th grade. Peter had a long career as a radiology technologist. He and his wife Bea raised two children from Pete's previous marriage and had a third son in California. The Metzelaars moved to Seattle in 1997. Peter continues to be an active member of the Holocaust Center for Humanity's Speakers Bureau.

Zastavení na říčanském náměstí u obchodů, které provozovaly židovské rodiny. Je konec léta 1935 a na Evropu začínají dopadat stíny v souvislosti s nacistickými rasovými zákony. V Říčanech kousek od Prahy je prozatím klid a mír.

De hele geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog is eigenlijk net wat anders verlopen dan je dacht. Dat is een beetje de indruk die je krijgt als je het nieuwste boek van Chris de Ploeg leest, De Grote Koloniale Oorlog. In dit boek plaatst hij de geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te plaatsen in de context van 500 jaar kolonialisme. Hij bekijkt het dodelijkste conflict in de wereldgeschiedenis door de lens van imperialisme en intense klassenstrijd. Wat kunnen we leren van deze blik over het fascisme, kapitalisme, liberalisme en communisme?
