On the Holocaust - Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem is the world center for Holocaust research and remembrance in Israel, and their official podcast reflects that standing. Across 32 episodes running 20 to 49 minutes each, the show covers a remarkably wide range -- corporate complicity during WWII, survivor letters, life inside ghettos, concentration camp testimonies, the Wannsee Conference, and the Eichmann Trial. The perfect 5.0-star rating from 25 reviews might reflect a smaller but deeply engaged audience. What you get here is authoritative history from the institution that holds one of the largest Holocaust archives in the world. Episodes release irregularly, which can be frustrating if you want a steady feed, but each one feels thoroughly considered rather than rushed to meet a schedule. The show balances institutional expertise with personal narratives, making abstract historical events feel immediate and human. It does not try to be a comprehensive chronological history -- instead, individual episodes pick specific threads and follow them with care. For listeners who have already consumed the basics and want deeper, more specialized perspectives grounded in primary source research, this is essential listening. The connection to Yad Vashem means access to archival materials and scholarly insights that few other podcasts can offer. Each episode rewards patience and careful attention with genuinely new understanding.
