Our Crime Was Being Jewish contains 576 vivid memories of 358 Holocaust survivors. These are the true, insider stories of victims, told in their own words. They include the experiences of teenagers who saw their parents and siblings sent to the gas chambers; of starving children beaten for trying to steal a morsel of food; of people who saw their friends commit suicide to save themselves from the daily agony they endured.

Spring 1958: a mysterious individual believed to be high up in the Polish secret service began passing Soviet secrets to the West.

Story19
After the Iraq War, when the reputation of Britain's spooks hit an all-time low, John le Carré's intellectual hero George Smiley came to be seen as the perfect spy, a man who would never allow intelligence to be misused for political purposes. Le Carré had revealed shortly before that the model for Smiley was the author and MI5 officer John Bingham, the 7th Baron Clanmorris. Michael Jago's brilliant account of Bingham's life is the story of an intelligence officer who had a deep influence on le Carré, then a junior colleague in MI5.

By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes listeners on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts.

Imagine a time when Europe lay shrouded in tyranny—cities crumbled, millions displaced, and freedom silenced under Nazi rule. Yet from 1944 to 1945, a decisive series of Allied campaigns shattered the iron grip of oppression. The Final Push: How Europe Was Liberated! tells the story of that transformative moment—when ordinary people and extraordinary leaders joined across continents to bring an end to Hitler’s tyranny and restore freedom to a broken world.

Als der Journalist Sacha Batthyany zufällig erfährt, dass seine Großtante Margit in eines der schlimmsten Nazi-Verbrechen am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges verwickelt war, ist er schockiert. Schnell merkt er, dass dem Schweigen über die Tat kaum beizukommen ist - die Familie hat sich arrangiert, es wird nach vorn geblickt und nicht zurück. Als er auf das Tagebuch seiner Großmutter stößt, verändert das seinen Blick auf die Familie und sich selbst radikal. Prägen vorangegangene Generationen die Art, wie wir leben? Sind wir doch alle Kriegsenkel?

Story2
Helene Munson resurrects her father’s WWII journals and embarks on a meticulous investigation, exposing how the Nazis trained 300,000 impressionable children as soldiers. In 1937, Munson’s father, Hans, was enrolled in an elite German school whose students were destined to take leadership roles in the Reich. At fifteen, he was drafted—along with the rest of the Hitler Youth—and assigned to an SS unit. A personal lens into a nation’s shameful past, Hitler’s Boy Soldiers documents the history of the largest army of child soldiers in recent memory.
