Daniela Gerson and her wife Talia met at a picnic in Los Angeles, not knowing that 75 years earlier, their grandparents had left homes only blocks away from each other in a small Polish town, and fled east to Ukraine. The Gersons and the Inlenders would go on parallel odysseys of 5,000 miles to survive the Holocaust – one that would, after a deceitful loyalty test from Stalin, put them on cattle cars to a Soviet Gulag, send them to Siberia and Central Asia, and would end, after a decade on the run, with new lives built on secrets and lies.

Es wird gezeigt, dass sowohl der Nationalsozialismus als auch der Kommunismus lediglich zwei Masken desselben Gesichts des dunklen Okkultismus sind, und ihre Gemeinsamkeiten in Denkweise sowie autoritären Kontrollmethoden werden beleuchtet. Darüber hinaus wird erläutert, in welcher Form diese heimtückischen okkulten Strömungen auch heute noch existieren, aktiv sind und eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für die Freiheit darstellen.

Eight women. Thousands of children saved. Unforgettable stories of courage. They were teachers, nurses, students—ordinary women who made extraordinary choices. In the darkest days of World War II, they risked everything to save the most vulnerable: the children. Saving the Children of the Holocaust tells their incredible stories.

Most of the great military campaigns and breakthroughs of World War II would not have been successful without the efforts of teams of people working unsung and undercover. The codebreakers of Bletchley Park cracked codes that allowed for the interception and exploitation of German intelligence but many took the secret of their wartime activities to the grave. Others put their lives on the line to gather information for their countries, infiltrating other nations' secrets at great personal risk.

In the secretive world of World War II espionage, where deception could save lives and a whisper could move armies, one of the most incredible operations ever devised involved a corpse, a briefcase, and a story too bizarre to be fiction. Operation Mincemeat tells the true tale of how British intelligence pulled off a daring trick that convinced Adolf Hitler to send his troops in the wrong direction—by using a dead man carrying false documents.

Holocaust Denial: How It Started and Why It Persists is a powerful exposé of the deliberate campaign to distort, erase, and weaponise the memory of the Holocaust. With chilling clarity, historian Cyril Marlen takes listeners through the origins, evolution, and ongoing danger of Holocaust denial—unmasking the pseudoscience, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories that fuel this persistent assault on truth.

When the Germans took thousands of Allied prisoners during the catastrophic Greek campaign of 1941, a handful of Australian soldiers escaped from prison trains in occupied Yugoslavia. What awaited them was not passage home, but a brutal underground war where the fate of a nation was at stake. Told through the eyes of two of the Australian escapees - mineworker Ross Sayers and storeman Ronald Jones - Anzac Guerrillas is the incredible true story of how these men became resistance fighters, double agents and spies, evading the Nazis and exposing a group of genocidal collaborators.

В марте 1944 года Жинетт Колинка в возрасте 19 лет вместе со своим отцом, младшим братом и племянником была депортирована в лагерь смерти Освенцим-Биркенау. Спустя долгое время после окончания Второй мировой войны и несмотря на столь травмирующий, порой непостижимый обычному человеку опыт, Жинетт нашла в себе силы правдиво и без прикрас рассказать о том, что она видела и пережила. О нечеловеческих условиях, в которых ей приходилось существовать, голоде и жестокости.

Frederick Rutland was an accomplished aviator, British WWI war hero, and real-life James Bond. He was the first pilot to take off and land a plane on a ship, a decorated warrior for his feats of bravery and rescue, was trusted by the admirals of the Royal Navy, had a succession of aeronautical inventions, and designed the first modern aircraft carrier. He was perhaps the most famous early twentieth-century naval aviator. Despite all of this, and due mostly to class politics, Rutland was not promoted in the new Royal Air Force in the wake of WWI.

Inside our military is a team of operators whose work is so secretive that the name of the unit itself is classified. Highly-trained in warfare, self-defense, infiltration, and deep surveillance, "the Unit," as the Department of Defense has asked us to refer to it, has been responsible for preventing dozens of terrorist attacks in the Western world. Never before has a member of this unit shared their story — until now.

In 1938, 29-year-old 'Nicky' cancelled a ski holiday and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the UK. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later.

In less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian, and American commandos died in the French port of Dieppe in an operation that, for decades, seemed to have no real purpose. Canadian historian David O’Keefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that this catastrophic and apparently futile raid was, in fact, a mission set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence as part of a “pinch” policy designed to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine.

Today, it is known by many names, like the First Iraq War, Kuwait War, and, most commonly, the Gulf War or the First Gulf War. It was a rather short conflict, lasting just shy of seven months between late 1990 and early 1991. Yet, it was still rather impactful because it showcased several essential innovations and changes in political and technological aspects of warfare, some of which are still part of modern conflicts.

In the spring of 1933, more than 8,000 Jewish musicians, actors, and other artists were expelled from their positions with German orchestras, opera companies, and theater groups. Later that year, the Jüdische Kulturbund, or Jewish Culture Association, was created to allow Jewish artists to perform for Jewish audiences.

In the summer of 1940, after the Nazi occupation of Poland, an underground operative called Witold Pilecki accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands of people being interred at a new concentration camp on the border of the Reich. His mission was to report on Nazi crimes and raise a secret army to stage an uprising. The name of the detention centre - Auschwitz. It was only after arriving at the camp that he started to discover the Nazis' terrifying designs.

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents.

Sur les hauteurs d'une colline, au coeur de l'Allemagne nazie, se dresse un imposant château gothique, magnifique et monstrueux.

Tout au long de leur longue et éprouvante captivité dans l'enceinte ultrasécurisée de Colditz, ces « incorrigibles » n'auront qu'une seule obsession : s'évader.
