So informative, moving and well told. I listened to the whole series in one sitting; could not get myself to turn it off.

Thank you for making this available to listen without a paid subscription. A well executed listening experience. I finished it in 2 days. It’s important to never forget the consequences of the banality of evil. The ruthless systematic murder and atrocities committed against innocent civilians are the most brutal and tragic in history. “If hatred is a governmental program, the consequence is the Holocaust.” - Simon Wiesenthal Shockingly, there are people who don’t know what the Holocaust was. I hope this podcast inspires others to learn more about the Holocaust.

Please take the time to listen to this. It is a great account of the prosecution of the most evil men in the world. We too easily refer to actions or people we object to as Nazis. This podcast delivers an accurate historical perspective of what Nazis really were. The story told by the prosecutor during the closing statement literally brought me to tears. Never forget what true evil is and how we each have the individual responsibility to stop it.

The production values are high but frankly that is the only positive attribute that I can see in this production. It trivializes the history and attempts to layer on a weird “trendy” vibe for no end that I can see. To make it ‘meme worthy’ or something? Finally the listener actually learns very little of the actual history or the complex issues which were involved. I am 8 episodes in and I don’t think it is worth my time to see it through to the end.
