hitler regime as the muslims are telling the hitler regime you are either going to stop allowing jews into palestine, you are either going to give us our own state the way we want it which it's free of jews, or we're going to work with the germans. and that's exactly what they did. .. >> he had an international islamic falling before his work. from india, to jerusalem, to yugoslavia, to london, to beirut. everywhere there was communication and support for the airport against the jews. eventually, after the arabs continually beckons the nazis for some form of alliance, it all came to a head with the commission in the late '30s recommended that there be to actual states. they said we have tried for many years to bring these two peoples together. now it's time to cut the country in half. they said we will never coexist with the jews in palestine. they actually said better it run as a colony for 100 years that we should live one day with jews as co-equals, allowing them to sit while they pray at the wall. i have to tell you, 99% of what you read in this book is quotation in context from t

he met with hitler in his office. he was on the hitler payroll. he was elevated by hitler. when i say he was with hitler i don't mean he was meeting in a dark shadow. he went to concentration camp, he went to the place where all the concentration camps were organized. we went to a subset of auschwitz and whenever they tried to rescue him the -- irrepressible letters to the hungarian official floor polish officials -- to the bulgarian saying don't send the jews to palestine. send them to poland. if you think no one knew what auschwitz was in 1941 to be delayed to 1942 or 1943 let me correct you. a little girl in holland confirmed in her diary the jews are being gassed in poland. the bbc was broadcasting this and i had reproduce the exact language of a book published by the afl-cio in numerous languages including the united states explain that auschwitz is a death camp where they put gas in the cellar. this was well-known. he knew what he was doing. i hope i have answered your question. the second question is from here. >> the question is what now? you hinted, who do we turn

as soon as hitler was in power before he was even in power, the whole family knew who hitler was and he was evil and not on board with the nazises. bonn hof's brother-in-law was a member of german military intelligence. i have to say german military intelligence at this time was the center of the conspiracy against hitler, so bonhoeffer's brother is a lead conspirator. bonhoeffer was involved in many conversations in the conspiracy in the years leading up to 1939. he was friends with the people. he knew them. he is a theologian and pastor giving them moral support in the conspiracy against hitler. this was not easy for germans. he knew this was what god was saying and he was helping them in their courage to stand against the nazises. he comings back in 1939, and he decide to officially become a member of the conspiracy, and this is fascinating. he decide to go from confession to conspiracy. there's a chapter in the book called confession to conspiracy. the nazises had no problem with you if you said you were a christian. okay, thank you very much. you are no threat to me. you're no t

hitler and the germans betrayed the hitler-stalin pact on a dime overnight. the people in the american peace prohibition became pro-war. they changed their name from american peace mobilization to the american people's mobilization. they did not even change the acronym. they kept the acronym. they started pushing vigorously for lend lease, aid to britain, the united states to enter the war, fdr was no longer a fascist. now they could be cpusa could be pro-american. now america would be allied with stalin. it was really a great day for them. the new york times article on the subject is titled the group opposes war eight. that is the american peace mobilization. the clergymen group. the presence of religious left social best justice. the communists will show up at these rallies. blessed are the peacemakers. turn the other cheek. of course not noting that they are communists and their blowing up churches and throwing nuns in the gulag and jailing priests. far too many people, especially on the religious left. a great ex-communist himself and investigator of this

from hitler and stalin. which is why i end the book with an attempt, having seen how hitler and stalin turned the world, trying to turn the numbers back into human beings. it seems to me, if we can't do that in the end, they have won. thank you very much. >> there's a kind of logic to the way you structured the book. i'm not going to quarrel with it. you chose also not to discuss certain issues. one of them is the collateral civilian deaths of the war. i'm just wondering is that because the statistics are unreliable? it seems to me -- you also chose not to discuss the implications of this massive wave of killings for these societies. it just seems to me that in the contemporary development of these countries, the legacies of these poorly discussed events, particularly in ukraine and belarus are a haunting legacy and a political problem. is this something that you hope to turn to? or why -- was it simply you couldn't discuss everything in the order of the book? it just seems to me that, you know, if you take

and a suit of hitler? konrad says this pair of trousers and suits is from the assassination attempt on the life of hitler in the summer of 1944. okay. what are you planning to do with them? he says, i was planning to travel to america and sell them for a lot of money. a typical konrad answer. he also is executed in march of 1952 in warsaw. and finally, within the nazis -- i will still talk about the jews. the third nazi which i want to mention here is that of stroop, the notorious ss general. stroop was a veteran of world war i. here he is pictured with his colleagues in the department of the government in deathhold. i actually visited his home, and he was a highly -- he would have loved to have become an officer, but due to the structures of the social, the social structures of german society after world war i, he was unable o become an officer. and his opportunity comes in 1932 when he joins the ss. and heinrich hemler becomes a close associate of him, pushing him up the ranks very quickly to become a hi

the famine is going on, and known about in germany has hitler comes to power. in the soviet union, the famine is, of course, a reality. in the fall of 1932, having already deported or killed the people regarding the gulags, having enforced collectivization, and taken away land from millions of ukrainians and peasants, which we can now document. which lead, and quite deliberately lead to the starvation of 3 million more people in ukraine that had to die. the second chapter concerns the great terror. the second and third. when we have thought about the great terror in the past, we have generally had in mind the intellectuals, i'm wearing contact lenses. the political leaders, at best the military officers who some of us know was killed. the great terror was a mass killing action. it was directed at normal soviet citizens. the largest group of people to die was the peasant who had somehow survived other forms of soviet repression, and might oppose the regime. the second largest group of victims in the great terror were members of small national minorities. and thi

hitler comes to power. and the arabs say, we want hitler. they're not just a fascist leaning. this occurred in baghdad, this occurred in cairo. >> this occurred in beirut. this occurred in syria. they ran -- they translated mein kompf and turned it into anti-jew hatred into antisemittic hatred. they wore arm bands and there's a place in the book where the arabs with a huge nazi flag -- the syrian national socialist party, national socialists, the german social nazi party with the swastika, you can still see this on the internet. their flag has not changed. it still has the swastika. [inaudible] >> pardon me? syrian national socialist party. and the nazis said, we don't want you. you're semite. on top of that, we're talking to the republic -- we're talking about the republic, we're talking about the nazi era, we will never put you in the nazi because you must be pure. okay, if you don't adopt us we'll make our own nazi party and that's exactly what they made. they made many nazi parties. and they made them all over the middle east. they ran nazi publication and they serialized

are the victims of hitler or victims of stalin? like many of the people, the blame is shared.this brings me to the last point i want to make and it has to do with precisely the comparison. as i said, i did not write this book because i wanted to compare a nazi germany and the soviet union. it was my view and is still is my view going into the look at these comparisons are too abstract, too theoretical and little round in what we now know about history. that said i think the comparison is something that ought to be done and i put to the end of the book and i am going to give you a glimpse of what i think about it to be the first is this. logically i don't think any taboo on comparison is that all sustainable. so, i would say to you cannot compare the soviet union and nazi germany. the only logical content of that is i have already made the comparison, and i would very much like for you not to do so. it has no other meaning. the word incomparable is a comparative judgment. you cannot say to things are incomparable unless you already looked at them and made some kind of compariso

hitler comes to power. and the arabs say, we want hitler. they're not just fascist leaning, they're actual nazis. they petition to join the nazi party. they in various cities -- i don't want you to think this occurred just in palestine, in jerusalem. this occurred in this baghdad, cairo, this occurred in beirut, this occurred in syria. they ran, they translated "mein kampf". they redacted and changed the translation to take away the word "semite "and turn it into just anti-jew hatred instead of anti-semitic hatred so it would not have an impact on the arabs. they wore armbands. there's a place in the book where the arabs are with a huge nazi flag. the syrian national socialist party, national socialists just like german national socialists with the nazi party with a swastika. you can still see this right now on the internet. their flag has not changed, it still has a swastika. pardon me? >> [inaudible] >> syrian. syrian national -- syrian national socialist party. and the nazis said, we don't want you. you're semites. on top of that -- we're

but, you know, if hitler had been run over by an austrian streetcar things would've been different, too. i really don't know what to make of that. yes? >> i think the secret understanding was america looking the other way would you then invaded korea, 1904-19 -- i'm sorry? [inaudible] spit oh, my god. i don't know anything like that. >> there was a book written about it and when this information was declassified, as you said, roosevelt and the other saw japan as westernized and that was -- should come you can invade korea, we will look the other way. >> well, to some extent that might well be true. in fact, roosevelt did consider japan at least until about 1904, to be a force for progress and good in east asia. but there was also a pragmatic calculation. if japan is going to invade korea, let what's the united states going to do about it? most americans had no idea where korea was, and the thought that americans should go into battle for korea, that would have boggled anybody's mind. if the war with spain had been presented as, presented ahead of time as a war to conquer the philippines

would enter the war against hitler and that it would ultimately lead to his destruction. it did. all of that worked out, but it was somewhat too late for 6 million jews in europe. that was felt course he took. now, these are not all -- there is a hopeful sen here, a good guy that emerges. it was an unlikely hero. bo longtime friend and neighbor of roosevelt in this county. but the prestige of his colleagues. they did not ask him to pressure roosevelt because they did not think it was that significant. he could be considered the rodney dangerfield. but once he got involved bobbly he provided a striking contrast to the hypocrisy that undermined the jewish community. he had taken advantage of his personal rapport with the skipper, which was the president's shoes name for roosevelt, an allusion to his nautical interest. take the advantage of that and it gave him the confidence to overcome his insecurities and to take on the u.s. to department. so he was drawn into the fray by a proposal of 1943 by the romanian government which saw the handwriting on the wall and knew that they were d

hitler began a very substantial military buildup.some of it was hit in, some of it was known but he began immediately as an effort to enhance his ability to deal with his neighbors and the outside world. in the eante, two paramilitary organizations, the ss and sa can to be e instrument of the nazi state owning much of the property and dominating much of the government decision making under hitler's cui orders. it can easily be said and often said that hitler was a totalitarian maniac, but maniac misconstrued something because most americans viewf my lol ersality assomeon reing an otrtional. hitler was far more a sociopath, objectives. because once objectives are tbe. i wrote a paper in college but hitler as it went from 1933 to 1939. , not to bismarck, no one. he had the chancellors of year of eing out his hand wih a movement to establish talks with treaties, efforts to establish negotiations, and even as he moved into the beginning of the holocaust was wrong it's against the jews in 1938, and the jewish refugees from europe began to

and ukraine is at the center of hitler's vision of an eastern empire. and it is part of his, part of his view of how this is going to happen is that he's going to destroy the soviet state by killing lots of leading jews because, in his view, the soviet union is a jewish state. so the plan of conquest to control ukraine involves this terror and mass murder of jews, again, from the nazi point of view. and in that sense the two events, in that sort of underlying sense where both regimes see ukraine as the key to an economic transformation which by it nature is going to cost many millions of lives. in that sense the two events are related. but that's a kind of structural argument which i have to develop slowly chapter by chapter by chapter. >> i'd like to thank you. >> my pleasure. >> for a very interesting analysis, and we look forward to the next one. >> thank you, walter. [applause] >> think snyder -- timothy snyder is the author of several books including the reconstruction of nations and "the red prince." for more information about his new book, "blood

he later on said other things how nonviolence could be used against hitler. all i can say is that gandhi would have faced -- he was -- he had his very strong principles, but he was also a practical human being, so we can't say what he would have done, but he would have done every single thing to find little or large ways of mobilizing opinion against that horrible, horrible evil. one more question. last question. >> could you discuss his relations and dealing with winston churchill? >> well, there are several, several pages in the book on that. i will very quickly -- they met only once in 1906 when gandhi was in south africa and churchill was in the government of colonial affairs. that was the only meeting, a fairly cordial meeting. in the years when he tried to meet him, he refused. churchill was not very happy with the indian independence movement, an when gandhi had this after the salt march, he had his talks with the people of india, and churchill was very, very angry indeed about that and made those well-known remarks, but that's some of what you're awar

if hitler had been run over by an austrian streetcar things would have been different too. i don't know what to make of that. >> the secret understanding was america looking the other way when japan invaded korea, 1904 -- i am sorry? i don't know anything like that. >> the american secretary of war. >> there's a book written about that when this information was declassified. case of japan as westernized. that was a passive fire. you can invade korea. we will look the other way. >> to some extent that might well be true. roosevelt did consider japan at least until 1904 to be a force for progress and good in east asia but there was also a coldly pragmatic calculation. if japan is going to invade korea what is the united states going to do about it. most americans had no idea where career was and the thought that americans should go into battle for korea would have boggled anybody's mind. if this had been presented as a work ahead of time to conquer the philippines it would have gotten absolutely nowhere. the only way americans could accept this projection of american power be

their middle-class owners became amongst hitler's most vocal supporters in the years to come. in 1924, henry made the acquaintance of albert einstein at an elite banquet of bankers held in berlin. goldman and einstein hit it off famously and began a lifelong friendship. henry was fascinated by the professor's description of experiments in quantum mechanics being conducted by max horn. the future nobel prize winner and some of his students who included robert oppenheimer at the university of cottingham. the subject was very controversial at the time and einstein was unconvinced of its validity. nevertheless goldman gave borne over $1000 to continue his research, which resulted in the development of atomic fission 25 years later. in 1931 when einstein concluded he could no longer live in the hostile atmosphere of nazi germany, henry introduced him to accept a post at the formative institute for learning and princeton, but after a year feeling the controlling president of the institute was enforcing intolerable demands on his personal freedom, the professor threatened to leave. h

the baltic states of belarus and the ukraine so of all of the killing that took place organized by hitler and stalin from the atlantic to the pacific, the tremendous majority of this mass murder was concentrated in the relatively small territory. this is the event that caught my attention. it strikes me once we know the numbers and can localize these numbers in time to locate in a place, is the event that has few comparisons in the world and the question is why is there no history of this event and nobody sees it as the event? i like to say a few words about why i think that is. in the last 20 years and headed to opportunity to raise such a history. of the reason we have this opportunity is the soviet union collapsed in 1990 line the archives began to open in 1989. this was very important. obviously in terms of understanding the history of the soviet union and communist eastern europe. however it was also incredibly important to understand the history of nazi germany. why is that? very simple. the germans carried out almost all of their killings on the territory that immediately after the

[laughter] so, tom, why is european socialism a menace to america? >> i think european socialism is the way out of our problems. and i wrote this book in despair because i thought at the time european socialism, social democracy was about to vanish from the earth. that the u.s. model was supreme. larry summers was going over to davos to pump it up, and so a lot of this book is starting out in the 1990s and trying to explain why i thought this was the fair system and, in the long run, the only kind of system that could work. the germans were good at holding on to their manufacturing base, bringing in workers, putting them on the coronet boards. this -- corporate boards. this had to work in the long run. it turns out this book is a little prescient. our shareholder model turns out not to be very responsible be even as shareholders, and there seem to be two models in the world now. one is this authoritarian corporate model in china, authoritarian capitalism, and stakeholder capitalism, c

is every enemy that we face hitler, etc.? and let me say also that the same kind of critical thinking needs to be applied in the hardest circumstance of all, and that is when the appeals are made to our core values as humanitarian and the lovers of humanity, lovers of human rights, and people who believe that their power ought to be used for good in the world. we've gotten into so much trouble when so many places in the intervening as humanitarian and fighting the moral crusades that it is long past time to ask when such appeals are made to us what is in it for us? when we intervene in cuba for example and obliterate from the spanish and then the philippines and due to the filipinos exactly what the spanish did to the cubans, we did that happen? what is the logic of that? when we intervene around the world in the case of the world on terrorism and we worry about the way that women are being treated from islamic fundamentalist extremists off the hook up and we worry about democracy versus dictatorship and of fanaticism and fun

information on hitler to overthrow him when an opportunity came. same in the united states, you know? there is a is suspicion that fbi, i like to call these so-called intelligence agencies, agencies of state terrorism. and that exists in every country whether it's in russia or in the united states or anywhere else. they've probably knocked off kennedy. and those kinds of things do happen, and then we saw bush sr. who was a cia chief, his son becoming a president. so that kind -- is there something going on to either knock off medvedev or there may be an adversarial relationship at one point, and one of them will overthrow, something like that is happening? >> or some third person like what happened to cruise chof will come and, boom, overthrow these two guys. >> [inaudible] we've heard some examples, but only in the 1990s when we had -- [inaudible] who collected information. he published it. but i think if there should be reason for those thing, and the first thing is that you have to have public opinion. and very strong medias to publish this stuf

case of him, what made it interesting is you have a guy standing up to nazism, who is criticizing hitler for this doctrine of "might is right," overreaching pursuit of power, and is coming from a guy who did everything he could to avoid that. he did not want to be kidding. it was a nightmare -- he did not want to be king, did not want power, going up against a guy who is the most power-hungry in the history of the last century. tavis: let me ask if your history buff, if you just love period pieces. how does this keep happening to you? >> embarrassingly, i give up history when i was in school. i am not a history buff. when i was a teenager, fictional films, those were in my 20's. i think i have been brought to it through a desire to conduct to issues of national identity. i want to make work that connects with the big issues of our time, and i cannot tell you what a privilege it was to make "john adams" and know what was going out during the time of the u.s. primaries and give us the opportunity to say, is it possible to trace back to the origins? there is this schism that runs through th
