  • Good podcast

    This is a good podcast about the Holocaust. I am learning a lot and there is a great and interesting collection of different aspects of the Holocaust. Studies of this horrific event need to continue and this podcast is part of that.

    One star was deducted because there is an undercurrent of leftist thought in some of the episodes with some of the typical buzzwords. However, it’s not overpowering and a discerning listener should be able to spot and discard this discredited thinking.

    I have been studying this subject since I was 11 years old and I am now 59. My grandparents cam... more
