Chag Pesach Sameach
Happy Easter
Blessed Ramadan

The Edwin Black Show is on hiatus in observance of Passover.
Chag Pesach Sameach! From Edwin, Carol, and Team Black.
We’ll be back on April 20 for our observance of Yom HaShoah.

How Society Can Fight Back

Urban marauders, retail theft gangs, random violence, anti-Asian and anti-Jewish crimes, carjackings—can we fight back? Michael Moore of The Vigilance Group joins Edwin to go bold.

Edwin Black returns to JHU to present “American Eugenics: From Long Island to Auschwitz,” based on his award-winning War Against the Weak. By academic invitation only for the Biotechnology Department’s Bioethics Course, part of the Master of Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Program.

Who shall receive—and who shall pay?  
What is proper justice for injustice?

For Slavery, Native Americans, Japanese Americans, Eugenics Victims, and many others. Famed constitutional and civil rights attorneys Nathan Lewin and Alan Dershowitz join Edwin to begin untangling one of the thorniest and most crying issues of our day.

Edwin Black visits Furman University to answer journalism students’ questions.

With 2.2 million books in print, he is the New York Times bestselling author of IBM and the Holocaust, Financing the Flames, The Transfer Agreement, and more. He has been recognized for his writing and human rights work with numerous awards, including the International Human Rights Award, the Moral Compass Award, the Justice for All Award, the Moral Courage Award, the Drum Major for Justice Award, a DLA Human Rights Citation, the AJC Integrity Award, the Carl Sandburg Award, the Smolar Award, multiple Rockower Awards, and a Special Michigan Legislative Human Rights Tribute.

Edwin Black brings brings an important part of the Holocaust to light: the Farhud (violent dispossession), two days of frightful violence, looting, and murder visited on the Jews of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities on Shauvot of 1941, June 1–2. Based on his book of the same name.

The Holocaust is often perceived as a primarily European phenomenon, and the travails of the Jews of the Middle East and North Africa are often forgotten. Project Witness is helping change that with its program for educators, “The Untold Plight: The Sephardic Communities in the Holocaust.”

We are on hiatus this week; we’ll be back on February 9 with an exploration of reparations.

Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone a Happy Tu BiShvat.

While we’re away, please enjoy this encore presentation of S2 E42, “Are There Any Good Wars?

Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as current affairs, history, WWIII, antisemitism, energy, eugenics, and more. Edwin will also be accepting questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

For International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor those who fought back—partisans, ghetto fighters, camp saboteurs, boycotters, protestors, those in suits on streets, those with rifles in the woods. Jews did fight back. Holocaust scholars Sam Edelman and Carol Edelman join Edwin, as does Abe Foxman, who survived the Holocaust among the “Hidden Children.”
