Hunting Evil
Hunting Evil
    At the end of the Second
    World War some of the
    highest ranking members
    of the Nazi party escaped
    from justice. Some of
    them are names that have
    resonated deeply in
    twentieth-century history
    - Eichmann, Mengele,
    Martin Bormann and Klaus
    Barbie - not just for the
    monstrosity of their
    crimes, but also because
    of the shadowy nature of
    their post-war existence,
    holed up in the depths
    of Latin America, always
    one step ahead of their
    pursuers.

    The
    nature of their escape
    was as gripping as any
    good thriller. They were
    aided and abetted by
    corrupt Catholic priests
    in the Vatican, they
    travelled down secret
    'rat lines', hid in
    foreboding castles high
    in the Austrian alps,
    and were taken in by
    shady Argentine secret
    agents. The attempts to
    bring them to justice are
    no less dramatic, with
    vengeful Holocaust
    survivors, inept
    politicians, and daring
    plots to kidnap or
    assassinate the
    fugitives.

    Guy
    Walters has travelled the
    world in pursuit of the
    real account of how the
    Nazis escaped at the end
    of the war, the
    attempts, sometimes
    successful, to bring
    them to justice, and
    what really happened to
    those that got away. He
    has interviewed Nazi
    hunters, former members
    of Mossad, travelled the
    'rat lines', and poured
    through archives across
    the globe to bring this
    remarkable period of our
    recent history to
    dramatic and vivid
    life.

After The Holocaust: Jewish Survivors in Germany after 1945
After The Holocaust: Jewish
Survivors In Germany After
1945
    After the Holocaust tells
    the story of life after
    liberation from the
    perspective of Jewish
    survivors working to
    rebuild their lives.
    Since there was no plan
    for liberation - no
    structure in place to
    help survivors settle
    once they were liberated
    - these testimonies speak
    of struggle amid
    confusion and pain.
    Ambiguous regulations
    aimed to repatriate
    displaced Jews and to
    confine them to camps
    were put forth while the
    classification of German
    Jews as Germans without
    entitlement to additional
    food rations or other
    support were also put in
    place. Thus, the
    normalisation of Jewish
    life after 1945 amounted
    to abandonment. And as
    Germans busied themselves
    with their own
    'catastrophe' of defeat
    and with the
    reconstruction of German
    culture, Jews were left
    to depend on military and
    Jewish aid agencies, all
    pursuing their own,
    often conflicting,
    agendas. Jewish culture
    since the Holocaust
    incorporates the
    traumatic memory of the
    Holocaust as a collective
    and an individual
    experience. Yet it also
    incorporates the memory
    of how after liberation,
    Germans remained divided
    from Jews in their mutual
    struggle to re-build
    their lives.

The Lost World of Communism
The Lost World Of Communism
    1989 was a year of
    revolution: it marked the
    collapse of communism in
    Eastern and Central
    Europe and and an end to
    an entire way of life for
    millions of people behind
    the Iron Curtain.
    Beginning in Hungary,
    the retreat from
    communism picked up speed
    over the summer when the
    Poles won an overwhelming
    victory in free elections
    over their pro-Soviet
    rulers. In the fall,
    East Germany and
    Czechoslovakia achieved
    freedom with surprisingly
    little violence. Only
    Romania, at the end of
    the year, witnessed a
    savage battle in the
    capital and the summary
    execution of the most
    notorious of Eastern
    Europe's dictators,
    Nicolae
    Ceausescu.

    In
    The Lost World of
    Communism    , Peter
    Molloy, producer of the
    accompanying BBC series,
    collects first hand
    testimony of the people
    who lived in East
    Germany, Czechoslovakia
    and Romania during the
    Cold War era, and
    reveals an astonishingly
    rich tapestry of
    experience that goes
    beyond the headlines of
    spies and surveillance,
    secret police and
    political corruption - in
    fact, many of the people
    remember their lives
    under communism as
    'perfectly ordinary' and
    even hanker for the
    'security' that it
    offered.

    From
    international figures
    like Vaclav Havel and
    Lech Walesa, via the
    shadowy figures of
    Eastern Europe's
    intelligence and security
    services to its
    'ordinary' citizens, the
    voices collected on Peter
    Molloy's book evoke the
    moods, preoccupations
    and experiences of a
    world of that vanished
    almost
    overnight.
