The Edwin Black Show is on hiatus this week. Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone a happy 4th of July; we’ll be back on July 14 with an episode that examines the time when ophthalmologists teamed up with eugenicists to improve humanity’s eyesight—by urging the sterilization of everyone with less-than-perfect vision.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 24 | For a time, and with a mad and twisted sense of medicine, ophthalmologists, from the United States to Nazi Germany, believed the best path to better vision for humanity was to eliminate the existence of all those who wore glasses. Based on a seminal chapter in Edwin Black’s prize-winning bestseller War Against the Weak.
Air Date: | Eugenics from Long Island to Auschwitz is drawn from Edwin Black’s bestselling and award-winning War Against the Weak.
Presented for the Biotechnology Department’s Bioethics Course at Johns Hopkins University.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 23 | The notorious camps of Nazi Germany have been seared into memory. But it was America that innovated the first concentration camps; first during the US Civil War, and then again in WWI and WWII. Andersonville, Heart Mountain, Tule Lake, and Manzanar will live in infamy. Under what circumstances might we see another camp arise in the United States? Historian Chris Lovett joins Edwin for camps history and analysis, and constitutional law expert Nathan Lewin joins Edwin to discuss the end of the B&J's boycott and its associated lawsuit.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 22 | How two ambiguously-worded sentences written in 1899 by murderous regimes have been used and abused to create the fiction of an Israeli occupation of Gaza and the “West Bank”—a fiction which has bamboozled the world for decades. International lawyer Avi Bell joins Edwin.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 21 | How to answer the fictitious “facts,” false allegations, and fabricated history. Who are the original Palestinians? What is International Law, and how does it affect Israel? Is Israel occupying the West Bank and Gaza? What is the truth about refugees? The Temple Mount is holy to whom? Is Israel an Apartheid State or engaged in Ethnic Cleansing?
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 20 | 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 at last give answers. Edwin will also accept questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for a no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 19 | On International Farhud Day, Edwin explores the deadly Arab-Nazi alliance that stretched from Paris to Palestine. Conference of Presidents leader Malcolm Hoenlein and HARIF-UK co-founder Lyn Julius join Edwin.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 18 | Greenwood—the “Black Wall Street”—was a prosperous Black neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. White residents formed a mob on May 31, 1921, reacting to rumors of an assault. They murdered their Black neighbors, and looted and destroyed their homes and businesses in a veritable American pogrom.
Why was it forgotten until recently? What did it mean for America? Can it happen again—to anyone in this country?
Tulsa Historical Society Executive Director Michelle Place and civil rights leader Dr. William G. Anderson join Edwin.
Air Date: | Edwin Black is visiting greater Los Angeles for leadership briefings May 11–25, 2022. There will not be an Edwin Black Show on Thursday May 12; Edwin will be back on May 19 with an episode that asks—and attempts to answer—How Free Is Free Speech?
