3:31 am
time in my life, you know, at least for the story, a very and from forgotten chapter of history. to understand the story of fairy and fry and his rescue mission that helped 2000 people escaped denazi's. we have to go back to the beginnings of the nazi regime in january 1933, the nazi passing seized power and that'll get to that became chunk of gemini at the same time, jews were being harassed and ostracized. 119. so as you 5, they were officially declared people of less of rights under the new and not the same. the u. s. genetics to vary and fry, went to berlin, where one evening he witnessed a group of jews being brutally attacked. fry described dsl attend the new york times. i saw one man brutally kicked and spot to phone as he lay on the sidewalk. a
3:32 am
woman leading a man whose head was covered with blood hysterical women crying men losing that tempo at the police. so the strong sleepers and being kicked to drag dolph women begging the men to keep house with the fight and crying and pleading no way did the police seem to make any effort whatever to save the victims from the brutality. the response in the us was disappointing. there was no outcry and no real interest from a returned home where he tried in vain to find help for the persecuted james, the horrors of the nazi regime continued to escalate. the situation of jews in the country became increasingly desperate in july 19 so that he h. an international refugee conference was held in evian prompts for 10 days. delegates debated how best to help the persecuted dues with no results with the
3:33 am
world convey to the nazis is that they really didn't care what was happening and they weren't really going to do anything about it. well, you know, when you convey vash to feelings, you are part of the crime. the bystander is part of the crime in america that that message still hasn't sunk in, in november 1938. the kristallnacht pop from so synagogues, but an across the set rise and jewish businesses and institutions destroyed a full shadowing of what was to come the genocide of the european jews. september the 1st 1939 jim and troops invited poland mocking the stuff to the 2nd world war and from then declared on gemini, followed shortly by other countries. the us remain neutral. on june 16th 1940 the germans, them marched into paris a few days away to an almost just assigned,
3:34 am
dividing from send to an occupied and then on will keep pipe zone. my showed paid time became head of government and collaborated with the nazi regime, jews, political opponents and people deemed undesirable to fear being handed over to the nazis from all over europe, refugees fled south to the french posts the t, as must say one of the few places in europe, from which escaped overseas, still seemed possible known lines of people desperate for a travel. visa waited at the us can see that in june 1942 and every new york attended by the us president's wife and in a rose advise the emergency rescue. committee was founded very and fry was sent to, i'll say, to provide 200 jewish ballasts and intellectuals, a visa to enter the us. 5 went to the room and they test building and teach rescue mission. and by the time you left the doors at close and the final solution was
3:35 am
going to be underway. and i consider that a very important part of the story. the fact that uh, what the fry mission was doing was really resisting that the, the trend of, of what, where the world is going the list of artists try was to rescue reads like a who's who of your reps, cultural and intellectual, seen the philosopher honda aren't right is like the surrealist andre breath home language. mind thomas months, brother, vice, amazing kinds, baffled and his wife. i'm at the office. ok. sure guys and marks, and most of them were already well the same as the same. didn't protect the parisians publishing giant jack. she from the pain that my grandfather in grandmother experienced in peggy guggenheim,
3:36 am
diary the famous art collector, she describes running into my grandfather's chuck supreme. and she says, i've never seen anyone look so scared in my life. leon forced to find an officer who in 1940 had been sent twice to a french internment camp also fed for his life. to aid has escaped the us, vice consoled, and must say broke the little. i couldn't break any of the regular regulations i did. and in one case for i changed the name of the person on the passport that mine was the on flushed by not to off to are really thing in the us. never set foot in germany again. so many refugees despite had crept in the battle in philosophy have i to benyamin took his own life while i'm trying to flee through spain, along with famous artists and intellectuals, many political opponents, communists and socialists also tried to flee, but very and fry,
3:37 am
couldn't help everyone is what do you have mission? i'm good bunch of course not everyone wanted those pieces to be granted and it was the subject of political disagreement. and in the end his ability to help those so needed. it was rather limited to have to try had a home team that's help has young people, students, resistance fighters, all of whom had somehow find the way to mall say, one was mary jane. gold or rich arrests from the us who donate to launch pumps of have 14 to help. so i was trying to flee. mary jane gold also paid the rent for the villa ad bell on the outskirts of my say, which helps shell to the rescue is and refugees or some even continue to create that route to you. for example, box your guys but here's mine was one of the most active rescue is so is a jew and anti fascist. he was in danger himself. he later became
3:38 am
a renowned economist in the us. he never goes each time and must say, this isn't this shit lobbyist on this in the ones that i think i did bring a bit of good cheer and optimism into this very bad situation as live at the to 9 go past the the of the cost a lot of people that were extremely this and this funded was no version on $2.00 until unfortunately we were only and rather low spirits as a result of the out any type of proceeding weeks and months. and i convinced that let's go off on one of the bill spear a, jewish illustrator from australia also needed help that very and fry had a special plan for him on pumps that somebody in context as a team of kinda like 1st i was told that i was not on any list of people they were supposed to rescue, but they would check and see what they could do for me. and let me know, i did tell them about some tennis mountain time and we'll get to me 1st and example
3:39 am
the 1st and sometime later, they contacted me to sweat on. i went there a 2nd time in time when i arrived very on friday, let me into his office and send it will come in one or 2 people are already back on . he said, so you're in illustration, that's what i said. yes. and you said what kind of drawings do you do? is that since i set up what the newspapers, i don't know if it's a drawing something trying to set us because he off taxman. and he said, have, as i said, yes, but i want something special, something that has nothing to do with newspapers to, to have you as a 40 passports. he asked, well, i've never done that this. if i had, i wouldn't tell you, i said in president east get done, it typically takes up your state. and he said, well, we have someone who can teach you a good. what do you do that? oh no, i said yes. yeah, because i'm very
3:40 am
and scientists help us were able to help. 2000 people escape but the us sole source, he said, realize that fries methods went to a ways, legal and 1941 fine, was ordered to return to the us. a few people stayed and continued his work until the south of france was also multiplied by the nazis in 1942 as suddenly he was very disappointed by that. so he, i think, i think he thought you would receive great recognition, appreciate product to in the larger context that people are. they didn't talk about the holocaust. it wasn't much of recognition of the holocaust in the, you know, the 2 decades are so following world war 2, at least not in the us. and i mean think in, in, in europe. i mean, is it, the people were focusing on the greater china of the war to all the people fighting it and all the countries that were there for were
3:41 am
damaged by it. and how could nobody have focused on very and try i think the reason is because it made americans uncomfortable because it underscores americans policies at the time. it underscores america, americans share of responsibilities. whitaker, and you don't want to, you don't want to make a big deal about what could have been done. you know, it's very and frying a few others. it could go to my say or be in by saying do what they did. well, obviously there was a lot more that that could have been done. as soon as the 2nd world war ended, the cold war began. many critics of us policy research being branded as communist, very and fry also fell victim to the climate of fear and suspicion. type i did have something to do with anti communism, which was quite prominent in the mccarthy era and which i would say was unfairly
3:42 am
directed to people who had provided aid, detox ultimate. so to me, but i would say it also had to do with the fact that fry had been very critical of the us government. massively critical of us refugee policies, uh, guns must participate in 1967 a few months before his death. barian fry was awarded the french legion of on us of his humanitarian walk. in 1994, he became the 1st american to be recognized as right just among the nations by yad vashem, the in transit not to take very and fry story, reached a wider audience. but did the series do justice to that history? the refugees were really terrified and still the idea that they were having orgies . i don't know if that really happened. that seems to me to be a little far fetched little sensationalistic. and again, you know,
3:43 am
the beautiful clothing, the beautiful says, the beautiful scenery, the love store a. it, it felt a little bit to kind of hollywood to kind of tv everything. and everyone is beautiful. unglamorous perhaps too much. so now the produce yourself as often said, it's highly 6 months. i like historical dramas that try to get at the truth of something that occurred. of course you have to take liberties, but do you try to make changes to correspond to the reality? or would you just say, what would be fun if they did this? for example, the effect between the glamorous, mary jane gold and i, but tish mind never actually happened. and neither did some of the other romances do. view is really need these embellishments. the series also emit some us to help us and exaggerates the role of others. for instance, in one story 9 mary jane gold leads a rescue mission. on behalf of the british intelligence, we shall say never happened. the mission operator was totally run by variance right
3:44 am
. bearing for i was a brilliant man that is missing all his staff looked up to him with, with admiration, with admiration that is missing to sort of my mind after the crucial aspect of the story or not present. very and fry was justifiably discouraged that he's worked with the emergency rescue committee, receive little recognition during his lifetime, but more than that, he requested not being able to save more lives if i have any regret to, to what about the, what we did it was, but it was so sites, you know, we saved some 2000 human beings. we ought to have saved many times that number. but we did what we could. and when we failed, it was all too often because of the in comprehension of the government of the united states. it was not until 1944 that the president created the war and refugee board to do in
3:45 am
a big way. and with the official back came what we had tried to do and on little way against a constant official position. but then it was too late. for me is it? then netflix vision vary in price still re makes too many concessions to entertainment and too much she's invented very about the story and it's history remains well west had a great country in europe. so how did the nazi party seize control in 1933, 5 reasons why hitler rose to power. reason one, a brutal minority leader of a german national movement is made chancellor of germany and for a little while then celebration of his victory on january dissociates. 1933 angels had said was a point to jim and chancellor. he came to power constitutionally, but the majority of demons didn't vote for him in the previous elections.
3:46 am
the hit is december 19, says he to vote was still the no just share among the 12 policies in the rice tug. that he had lost too many invited since the previous election support for the nazis was in decline before hitting that was unexpectedly made. chunk the off to rising to power, the nazis wanted to consolidate, deposition and cold. so new elections on march 5th. the policies haven't military troops the say to arise their opponents, but even then they don't see policy still couldn't achieve the absolute majority the to attain absolute power. and the ability to rewrite gym and little they needed to, to subs majority the so
3:47 am
they phone to coalition with the gym and national people's party and found the communist policy, giving them the majority they needed on march 23rd, they passed the enabling act which made parliament obsolete. and gave dick tutorial palace to the notes he government the, the reason to hit the was underestimate the conservative and nationalist ending in gemini, trying to use as i'll fit not to keep that ok. hold on how long they're
3:48 am
on the estimation of i don't get to the ultimate. she led to the 2nd world war in which some 17000000 people perished. and to the whole, the cost in which $6000000.00 jewish people when nodded along with hundreds of thousands of since he and roma homosexuals, people with disabilities and other victims. the, even though the nazis had made that times the dictatorship clear from the stopped positive hitler success. this his ability to play the role of an ordinary politician that's also helps him appease the conservative nationalist deletes who he needed to push through his enabling act. late to that, yes, the fitness duplicity was also one view at the post stem celebration, where he traded his uniform for
3:49 am
a tail coach and bowed before president hendon board. it was a symbolic gesture, gemini paying respect to the old gemini auto bought the car, the 15 i just stuck with a pin pretty going to hit now also trying to appeal to religious groups into weaving his nationalist miss making with biblical metaphors like in his speech before the bell in support, tell us 2 days. are they going to come and
3:50 am
see me too happy to believe his pulse, promising the 3 ruthlessness and to knock when out of it and i came to power the nazis could hardly believe that lock the but they still feared that they might lose everything. then on the night of february, the 27th, the rice talked the and the 24 year old dutch communist marina's fund. delva was arrested in the building which the nazis came disapproved for the communist puts you attempt the
3:51 am
they soon paused knows the to allowed them to persecute and imprison that political opponents, communists and social democrats for imprisons deposits. oak hills. the 1st concentration camp opened into how in bavaria the free trade unions with a didn't my intellectual band dues were harassed on that position, seized by july 1933 on the one political policy was left. the nazi policy for democracy in germany was already on the threat. the treaty of the size of the world war one imposed billions of monks of reparations payment it's on germany. the global
3:52 am
economic crisis made things worse. in 1932 unemployment in germany had to record high of many 60 percent of the time democracy in germany was relatively new and discussed by many nazis and communists before in the streets of funding. civil war seemed imminent and people were looking for a strong leader. the nazis capitalized on this discontent. to promote that cause. the reason 5 propaganda the denazi's major level use of radio and film to reach the mess especially use if goods is a mouse too. as the oss of propaganda,
3:53 am
the google's control, the images that the public was permitted to see. he owed it the re enactment of the torchlight march of january 30th, 1933 because they were too many comfortable pauses by ruining the image on the day hits. there was a pointed chance. google's was a huge fan of orchestrated mass events. he told people the story they wanted to hit and what he wanted them to believe in the same spot on the the bottom of my son, i can assist using visa sign in dodge or need my best to send them to me. that is to video bag and nothing touched on medicine.
3:54 am
as propaganda administer, google is created a culture of personality around hit to styling him as the safety of the germans. the in the summer of 1933, the hitler salute became a g u t. into a kind of terry and nazi germany. and this will stick to the official symbol of the country, the even fate interviews with suppose the generalists from abroad was staged for broad cost. and it's under that spec, you will see event dismissed doubling the intense lighting that really cost, but it's listed in this. you can go from ice sounds with the vision. i'm so he gets funny, millions or expensive ones. i find that there is
