Adesea, le evaluăm pe toate ca parte a aceleiași forme de manifestare pe care unii o numesc arta urbană, iar alții vandalism. Ce este de fapt arta urbană? Permi…

Send us a text We often make the mistake of thinking that history is all about what happened and why. However, its also very much about how people felt about what was happening to them.

Send us a text Despite some popular perception, Holocaust perpetrators are rarely cartoonish pure evil characters. In fact, many of them understood their guilt and actively sought to weave false narratives to exonerate themselves or avoid prosecution. The story of Franz Lucas is one such narrative. In this episode, I talk with Andrew Wisely about L…

Send us a text What makes someone a perpetrator? Are killers born or made? One thing that is clear in studying the Holocaust and other genocides is that perpetrators come in all shapes and sizes with just as diverse a set of motivations.

Send us a text Arguably, one of the worst places for prisoners to work during the Holocaust was the Sonderkommando—the group of prisoners forced to work in and around the gas chambers, disposing of corpses. Yet they also managed to create a number of texts that survived the Holocaust even if they did not. In this episode, I talk with Dominic Willia…

Send us a text The concept of genocide is one of the few ideas created from scratch in the 20th century. As a result, it can be incredibly complicated to interpret, both legally and historically.

Send us a text When the Nazis carried out their infanous and well-documented book burning on the Opernplatz in May 1933, the literal fuel for that fire came from Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science, an institution that both studied and provided treatment for LGBTQ Germans. In this episode, I talked with Brandy Schillace about Hirsc…

Send us a text Among the books that many people talk about but few have read, certainly Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf is one. But it IS a difficult read. How do we interpret this book?

Send us a text What is it like to have a Nazi in the family? What if that Nazi was Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz?

Send us a text Architecture (and architects) played a critical role in not just the Third Reich, but also the Holocaust.

Indiferența, ignoranța și tăcerea sunt complementare discursului instigator la ură. Atrocitățile comise în perioada celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial au fost posibile nu doar din cauza atitudinilor și acțiunilor extremiste, ci și datorită indiferenței. Istoria Holocaustului însă, ne demonstrează că, pe fundalul unei barbarii, umanitatea se poate ma…
