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.

Millions kidnapped and murdered. A continent plundered. A centuries-long genocide which powered the Industrial Revolution. No accountability. Few know the details; even fewer have calculated the magnitude—or the enormity—of the crime, a crime that continues to this day. Anti-slavery activist Charles Jacobs joins Edwin.

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. 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.

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.

Antisemitism, suppression of free speech, racism, and the final frontier of economic exploitation and privilege. Does it all need to change? Ethics writer Faye Lincoln and former Scholars for Peace in the Middle East Executive Director Samuel Edelman join Edwin to grade academia and issue remedial ideas.

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?

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.

Spying, lying, denying, and the dangers of passive consent are fast eroding all semblance of privacy. Is privacy the key to central control? Privacy expert Sharon Polsky of the Privacy & Access Council of Canada joins Edwin.

Edwin Black is visiting Tampa for events at Congregation Kol Ami, the University of South Florida, and the Tampa Jewish Federation.
