Today marks Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah) 2022. In keeping with Yad Vashem's annual theme, "Transports to Extinction: The Deportation of the Jews during the Holocaust," we're presenting the following episode, that originally aired in February 2021.
The Holocaust could not have been carried out by the executioners alone. Such large-scale murder, over vast distances, required a massive apparatus staffed by hundreds of thousands of state administrative and security personnel. How could so many seemingly “ordinary” people knowingly take part in such crimes? In this episode we take a glimpse at this troubling phenomenon, starting with a single German police officer, Paul Salitter, tasked with escorting a train of 1,007 Jews from Germany to a ghetto in occupied Latvia.
Featured guest - Dr. Christopher Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
