the w, mine's world in progress. pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about the topics that concern us about this story is beyond the headlines world in progress. the w talk costs the functions most kind of a lot of the subject i am talking about, i think a compelling account of courage and resistance. the netflix series. transatlantic, everything goes out. it's a friday we take a look at the true story behind the netflix series. i have everyone

to do something truly important near to be for the 1st time in my life. you know the story a very and from forgotten chapter of history. to understand the story a very and try 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 dental kits. and that became chunk of gemini, at the same time, jews were being harassed and ostracized. and didn't 1965, 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 route to the attacked, pri,

described dsl to new york times. i. so one manned booth to be kicked and spot to bonus. eli on the sidewalk, a woman leading a man whose head was covered with blood hysterical women crying men losing that temper at the police. so the strong sleepers and being kicked to dragged off, 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 the 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 says 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 result with the

world's 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 sol synagogues, bun, across the set, rice 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 german them marched into paris. a few days away to an almost assigned, dividing fronts into an occupied and then on occupied zone. ma showed pay town 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 the from all over europe. refugees fled south to the french poets 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 most 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. that was what, where the world was going the list of office 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 baritone high enrichment thomas months, brother, by to amazing funds, vassal and his wife. i'm at the office auction guys and marks, and most of them were already well the same as the same. didn't protect the

parisian publishing giant jack. she from the pain that my grandfather and grandmother experienced in peggy guggenheim, diary the famous art collector. she describes running into my grandfather's shop 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 age. his escape, the us, vice consoled, and most se 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. despair had crept in the balance . the last of i to benyamin took his own life while trying to flee through spain,

along with famous artists and intellectuals, many political opponents, communists and socialists also try to flee that very and fry couldn't help. everyone is what do you have insurance? 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 i try had a home team that's help has young people, students resistance fighters, or would assume that 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 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 mind which one is 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 goes each time and must say 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 9 o'clock . and of course, a lot of people that were extremely this and despondent to know version on to 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 illustrative from australia also needed help that varian fry had a special plan for him on tuffs that somebody exact as a seamless kind a lot. first,

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. i went there a 2nd time pink 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, as i said, yes. and you 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 guardianship test 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 foreigner, passports, he asked, well, i've never done that this on. 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, it is very . and scientists help us but able to help 2000 people escape. but the us also rush, 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. a certainly he was very disappointed by that. so he, i think, i think he thought you would receive great recognition. appreciate put a 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, it said 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 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 americans 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 fry 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 his refugee policies. uh huh. guns must participate in 1967 a few months before his death, barian fry was awarded the french legion of on us that 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 the 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 of the 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 aspects of the store it 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 tool, what about the, what we did it use, 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 a little 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 board to do in a big way and with the official backend. what we had tried to do and on little way against the constant official position. but then it was too late. for me is it the netflix version that vary in price? still re makes too many concessions to entertainment and too much she's invented about the story and it's history remains west, have a great country in europe. so how did the nazi party seize control and 19335 reasons why hitler rose to power. reason one, a brutal minority leader of a german national movement is made chancellor of germany and berlin 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 kitten is december 19 says he to vote was still been no just share among the 12 policies in the rice tug that he had lost 2000000 votes since the previous election support for the nazis was in decline before hitler was unexpected. counselor, the optimizing 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 all they needed to, to subs majority the so they formed coalition with the gym and national people's ponti 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 conservative and nationalist ending in gemini, trying to use as all fit not to keep that own hold on how long they're

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 holocaust 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 hitting to 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 safety 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. past

2 days are the only 2 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 fear that they might lose everything. then on the 9th to february, the 27th, the rice talk, but 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 paused, knows the to allowed them to prosecute and imprison that political opponents, communists and social democrats for imprisons deposits. oak hills, the fest concentration camp and in the house in bavaria. the free trade unions to my intellectual band dues were harassed on 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 versailles of to world war one imposed billions of monks of reparations payments on gemini, the global 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 it by many nazis and communists. for in the streets of funding, civil war seemed imminent and people were looking for a strong lead. denazi's capitalized on this discontent to promote that cause. the reason 5 propaganda the not sees made

clever use of radio and film to reach the mess. especially use if goods is a mouse too, 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 town center 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 of your driving needs 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 gem and the in the summer of 1933, the hitler salute became a g u t into it's 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 benefit with expect you will see you then dismissed doubling the and then
