Hitler's Big Lie found fresh expression with Hamas supporters claiming the absurdity that Israel is perpetrating genocide in its right to defend itself, executed in a legal and humane way. An accusation launched by none other than an organization that has in its charter and all of its rhetoric the desire to destroy Israel and every Jew living therein. In this episode we explore how Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine utilized the "big lie" with incredible effectiveness. Whereas the virtuous woman is extolled for being an individual that may always be trusted, we conclude with a chilling story highlighting that the word of honor of one not committed to truth, is a mockery of honor.

In a PS to our coverage of the Eichmann Trial we elaborate about the testimony of Dr. Foldi's description of the last time he saw his daughter in a red coat who was separated from him upon their arrival at Auschwitz.  Ever since, "the girl in the red coat" a nameless, faceless child became a representative , a composite metaphor for the millions of children who perished in the Holocaust. She was artistically portrayed In Spielberg's Schindler's List. Another outcome of Holocaust awareness, but far from the eyes of the public, Ben Gurion realized how vulnerable the Jewish People are. Given the vagaries of world history he did not wish to be exclusively dependent on the West, and decided that Israel needed to become a nuclear power. How tiny impoverished Israel pulled this off, is one more chapter in the wonders of Israel. Most of the Israel's south — the Negev Desert — was barren and uninhabitable. New immigrants were streaming into the country and every drop of water was spoken for. Israel wasn't just building a state — it was racing against thirst. Solving this problem would require innovation like the world had never seen, and something Israel's Arab neighbors could not tolerate.
