Ep. 37- The Nazis and Christianity with Richard Steigmann-Gall

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2291653/open_sms] What was the relationship between Christianity?  Could one be both a Nazi and a Christian?  What was the relationship between religious antisemitism and other forms of Jew hatred?  On today’s episode, I talked with Richard Steigmann-Gall about these difficult but important questions.     Richard Steigmann-Gall [https://www.kent.edu/history/profile/richard-steigmann-gall] is an associate professor of history at Kent State University.

Ep. 36- Visiting Holocaust sites with Stuart Bertie, Mary Brazier, and Lesley Moore

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2291653/open_sms] What is it like to visit a Nazi extermination camp or even a Holocaust site in general?  Last year, I was fortunate enough to travel to Poland with three friends to a number of camps and Holocaust-related sites and museums.  I thought I would do something different in this episode and invite them to talk about their experiences. Stuart Bertie is an architect and photographer with strong family connections to WW2. He has photographed for the National WW2 Museum, and is currently working on the Band of Brothers Currahee to Normandy documentary project. Mary Brazier is a Mental Health Social Worker in the NHS with an MA in military history and a special interest in psychiatry in the Second World War. Lesley Moore is an accountant that is interested in the history of the Holocaust during WW2, in particular Operation Reinhard. She has recently starting guiding Holocaust tours in Krakow, Poland Follow on Twitter @holocaustpod [https://twitter.com/HolocaustPod].

Ep. 35- The Trials of Ilse Koch with Tomaz Jardim

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2291653/open_sms] The wife of Nazi camp commandant Karl Koch, Ilse, became a lasting symbol of the evil and depravity of the Nazi state.  She was accused of a variety of crimes and underwent three trials, including one by the Nazis themselves.  However, there is more to the story. In this episode, I talk with Tomaz Jardim about the real Ilse Koch and he unpacks the three trials as well as how the Ilse Koch ascended as the mythic epitome of Nazi evil. Tomaz Jardim [https://www.torontomu.ca/history/about-us/faculty-and-staff/faculty/jardim-tomaz/] is a professor of history at Toronto Metropolitan University. Jardim, Tomaz.

Ep. 34- The Holocaust in Belarus with Franziska Exeler

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2291653/open_sms] Historian Timothy Snyder wrote that, between 1941 and 1944, Belarus was the deadliest place on earth.  And he was right.  The population there, both Jewish and non-Jewish suffered under the full weight of the Nazi genocidal project from the Holocaust by Bullets to the Hunger Plan. In this episode, I talked with Franziska Exeler about the Holocaust in Belarus as well as its aftermath in postwar justice and its place in postwar memory.   Franziska Exeler [https://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/fmi/institut/mitglieder/Wissenschaftliche_Mitarbeiterinnen_und_Mitarbeiter/exeler.html] is an assistant professor at the Free University Berlin and a research fellow at the Centre for History and Economics at the University of Cambridge.

Ep. 33- The Bełżec Extermination Camp with Chris Webb

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2291653/open_sms] The Bełżec extermination camp was the first of the so-called Operation Reinhard camps to open.  In some ways, it provided the model for the other Reinhard camps of Sobibor and Treblinka.  In this episode, Chris Webb provides a detailed history of the camp and a detailed discussion of the important role that Bełżec played in the Final Solution.   Chris Webb is an independent researcher who has written multiple books on the Operation Reinhard camps.  He is also the creator of three important web resources on the Holocaust: the Holocaust Historical Society [https://www.holocausthistoricalsociety.org.uk/index.html], ARC: The Aktion Reinhard Camps [http://www.deathcamps.org/], and HEART: Holocaust Education and Research Team [http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/].     Webb, Chris.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
