Air Date: | 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.”
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 6 | Trial balloons overhead, multimillion-dollar infiltration of our politics, policing stations on US territory, implants across college campuses, strategic land purchases in the heartland, insertion into our phones and computers. A proclaimed goal to dominate the world by 2035.
What’s happening and how soon? Hudson Institute foreign policy fellow Josh Block joins Edwin to pinpoint the threats.
Air Date: | Edwin Black returns to JHU to present “American Eugenics: From Long Island to Auschwitz,” based on his award-winning War Against the Weak.

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

Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 5 | Who shall receive—and who shall pay?
What is proper justice for injustice?

Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 4 | 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.”
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 3 | Where will the US and the world be a decade from now?
Who—or what—will control our lives and rule humanity?
Join us as Edwin goes there.
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 2 | 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 history, the state of journalism, WWIII, energy, current affairs, and more. Edwin also accepts questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.
Carly Gammill of StandWithUs joins Edwin to spotlight a case of antisemitism at George Washington University and SWU's response.
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 1 | Pro-Palestinian activists, antisemitic politicians and celebrities, and other racist elements are coalescing into a diverse anti-Jewish and anti-Israel movement. Jewish locations are mapped and publicized, Berkeley Law School has nine “no-go” zones for pro-Israel speakers, synagogues are vandalized, and Jews are threatened and assaulted every day, coast to coast. The term “Zionist” is often a trigger for exclusion and retaliation. Is a new Kishinev, Farhud, or Kristallnacht coming to America? Holocaust education leader Yossie Hollander and eminent civil rights attorney Nathan Lewin join Edwin again for Part II of the discussion that nobody wants to have.
