the next on d w, we say they're never giving up every weekend on d w. the functions most kind of a lot of the subjects. and so it can be a compelling account of courage and resistance. the netflix series, transatlantic everything goes out in surprise. we take a look at the true story behind the netflix series. i have every want

to do something truly important. your 1st time in my life. you know, at least for the story a very and frying forgotten chapter of history to understand the story of ferry 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 policy ceased power and adults kitchen that became chunk of gemini. at the same time, twos were being harassed, and ostracized. 11965, 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 to new york times. i saw

one man, brutally kicked and spot diplomacy, lay on the sidewalk. a 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 attract, of women begging the men to keep house with the fight and crying and pleading no way, did the police seem to make any effort most have 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 and 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

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, rice and jewish businesses and institutions destroyed a foreshadowing 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, dividing from send to an occupied. and then on oki pied 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. come see that in june 1940 to dinner with 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 office and intellectuals, a visa to enter the u. s. fry rented room in the hotel as building antique rescue

mission began. when he arrived in message, the germans were tried to expel issues and by the time you left, the doors are closed. and the final solution was 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, which mind thomas months, brother, vice, amazing kinds, baffled, and his wife, i'm at the office mock. sure guys and mux and most of them were already well famous . the same didn't protect the parisian publishing giant jack. she from

the pain that my grandfather in grandmother experienced in peggy guggenheim, 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 foyce 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 them 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 ever only 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, couldn't help everyone is what do you have mission? i'm provincial 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 try had a home team that's help has young people, students, resistance fighters, all of whom had somehow find the way to ma say, one was mary jane. gold or rich arrests from the us who donate to launch pumps of have 14 to help site is 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. some even continue to create their

out to you. for example box sure 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 a renowned economist in the us. he never for go. she's time and must say, this isn't the i've shed. 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 9 go past of the of the cost. a lot of people that were extremely this and this funded was no version on 2 until unfortunately we were only in 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 illustrative from australia also needed help that varian fry had a special plan for him on thumbs up. somebody exact as a month 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 if my good time investment pennies, mountain time will get to me 1st and december the 1st and some time later they contacted me to sweat and i went there a 2nd time in time when i arrived very and fry, 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 he said, what kind of drawings do you do is if it's i set up what the newspapers, i don't know if it's a drawing something with 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 get in touch with at least get done. it typically takes off and you stayed on. he said, well we have someone who can teach you a good. what do you do that?

i know i said yes. yeah, because very and scientists help us were able to help 2000 people escape, but the us soul source, he's had realized that fries methods went to ways legal. in 1941 fine was ordered to return to the us. a few people stayed and continued his work until the south of france was also will keep pipe by the nazis in 1942 a certainly 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 that the people were focusing on the greater trauma

of the war to all the people fighting it and all the countries that were there for were damaged by a how could nobody have focused on very and try i think the reason is because it made americans uncomfortable because it underscores american policies at the time. it underscores america, americans share a 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, if they're in fi, in 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 did have something to do with anti communism, which was quite prominent in the mccarthy era. and which i would say was unfairly directed to people who had provided aid 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, a massively critical of its refugee policies. uh huh. guns must you, could you see it? in 1967, a few months before his death, barry and fry was awarded the french legion of on us a 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 take very and fine story reached a wider audience. but did the series do justice to that history? the refugees were really terrified. and so 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, the beautiful clothing, the beautiful set, 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 fictionalized, 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, oh, it would be fun if they did this? for example, the aside between the glamorous, mary jane gold and i, but tish months 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, which will say never happened. the mission operator was totally run by variance right. 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 regression tune 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 refugee mode to do in a big way. and with the official back came what we had tried to do and on natural way against a constant official position. but then it was too late for me, is it? then netflix version of vary in price still re makes too many concessions to entertainments and too much she's invented about the story and its history remains well west had a great concrete in europe. so how did the nazi party seize, control and 19335 reasons why hitler rose to power. reason one, a brutal minority business 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. the hit is december 19 says he to vote was still been no just shared among the 12 policies and the rice tug that he had lost 2000000 votes since the previous election support for the nazis was in decline before hitting that was unexpected inmates thompson, the of devising to power the nazis wanted to consolidate, deposition and cold for 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 they formed 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 nazi government. the, the reason to hit the was underestimate the chosen nationalist, ending in gemini, trying to use as all fit not to keep that hold on how long

they're on the estimation of i don't have often which led to the 2nd world war in which some, 17000000 people perished and to the whole, the cost in which 6000000 jewish people will nodded along with hundreds of thousands of city 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 a tail coach and bowed before president hendon board. it was a symbolic gesture, gemini paying respect to the old gemini stock . 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 violin sport, past 2 days to

see me too happy to believe his pulse. promises the 3 ruthlessness and knock went 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, disapproves of a communist puts you, attempt the they soon passed, knows the to allowed them to persecute and imprison that political opponents, communists and social democrats for imprisons deposits. oak hills, the fest concentration camp opened into how in bavaria the free trade unions. but to didn't my intellectual was with the jews were harassed and that possession seized by july 1933 and 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 payments on gemini, the global economic crisis. main things was in 1932 unemployment in germany had to record high of nearly 60 percent. of the time democracy in germany was relatively new and discussed it by many nazis and communists. for in the streets have been in 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,

the nazis made clever use of radio and film to reach the mess. especially use if good those amounts to as the oss of propaganda. 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 chunk gables, was a huge fan of orchestrated mass events. he told people the story they wanted to hear and what he wanted them to believe in the same spot on the, the bottom of my son, i can assist using visa,

find enlarged on the mazda, instead of giving you that is all the guy to venue indulged on medicine as propaganda administer, google is created a cult of personality around hit to styling him as the safety of the gm, and the in the summer of 1933, the hitler salute became a g u t into it's kind of terry announced 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 said with expect, you will see you then dismissed doubling the intense lighting that really come. but

it's listed in this thing by somebody has asked me to do this. i'm to homes. he gets plenty of millions or expensive ones. i find that there is a new fresh vitality here in germany under your great leda and transfer at all fiddler of whom i am a great admirer. the new germany relieve all you have the best centralized government in the world today. the world watched events unfold in germany with a mix of dredge and disregard the when president kingdom good died on august the 2nd 1934. his office also post the hitler now had dick tutorial power in germany during the next 11 terrible years of
