The Nazi Hunter: Eli Rosenbaum on Tracking Down the World's Most Wanted Criminals

"Newly appointed attorney. General merrick garland has said he will renew the justice. Department's focus on the threat of white supremacists. Eli rosenbaum knows a thing or two about ideology for forty years. He has helped the department track down and hold former nazis accountable for their world war. Two crimes a law enforcement role that has earned him. The moniker of nazi hunter. Mr rosenbaum with us now. To talk about that moniker. And that mission mr rosenbaum. Welcome to people love the pod. Thank you great to be waiting. So yes you have been called the nazi hunter. I've seen the show on amazon prime. But what does that term mean in real life. Well it's not an expression. I'm particularly fond of because it suggests that this mission is something other than what it is which is professional law enforcement. We are not engaged in on or anything sort but we have been for four decades now simply investigating and taking legal action against participants in nazi crimes against humanity. Your father escaped nazi germany in nineteen thirty eight. I believe. can you share a little bit. About how your family history inspired this work. Y'all my dad. Got out of germany lived in dresden. His brother and his parents and they managed to get visas to this great country and were able to escape in nineteen thirty eight and the attorney. General merrick garland said in his recent testimony. I think all the time about how the united states saved my family my father graduated high school in newark new jersey and then started paying back the united states by going into the united states army and he was sent to north africa and to europe and served in the third infantry division and then when they realized that they actually needed german speakers they transferred to a psychological warfare branch unit in the us. Army the incident that changed my father's life and had a big impact on the shooter was when he was sent to a concentration camp by his commanding officer to go there in a jeep with two other men to see what the army had found the previous day when they liberated dot com word spread quickly in the region that something terrible was there and my dad's co wanted. Know what it was so my father went when i was fourteen years old and we were driving on the new york state through a blizzard heading north and there was nothing left to listen to the radio. We were talking. And i love hearing. My dad's were stories especially the funny ones. Anybody who serves the military s funny stories about food or whatever and then suddenly you said you know. I was sent dot com the day after its liberation and i though fourteen was a time when there wasn't much said really about the holocaust i knew what it was and i said what did you see and i'm like my father staring out the front window because it's pretty treacherous driving and i don't hear anything from my father and i look over to the driver seat and there i see dad with his eyes glistening their welled with tears in his mouth is open and he's trying to tell me and he couldn't speak and it was the first time i ever saw my cry men of that generation didn't want anyone to see them cry usually and we never did speak about it so my beloved father lived you know into this new century and so many many decades and we did speak about work with frequency when i was home but we never returned to the subject of you say you talked about your work with your father. How did that conversation or the job evolve over. The course of forty years work has changed quite a bit. When i started actually as a summer intern back in nineteen seventy nine. Never imagining that. This would become my life's work. We were overwhelmed with investigations. We had inherited the responsibility from the former immigration and naturalization service after the attorney general took it away from them because they had not succeeded and he's had up this new office the office of special investigations in the justice department criminal division and we had more work than could really keep up with and it turned out in the first few years that the we had inherited that actually had the most merit were ones that were based on tips received directly or indirectly from foreign governments. Which at that time was to say. Mostly the soviet union occasionally another government but generally the the soviet union which had mixed motives in these cases. We started being very proactive within a few years and by the five year point and they're after nearly all of the cases that we could develop to the point of prosecution. We're wants dan. We had initiated on our own and the methodology for that was to task our staff historians. We were the only law enforcement entity in the entire hemisphere that had its own complement of historians. They were the people who could dig for the needles and haystacks and we tasks them with responsibility for keeping an eye open for the surviving remnant of personnel records and other documents that identified perpetrators or perpetrators this. They did with great success. And ultimately we assembled more than seventy thousand names of suspects mostly european also some japanese and we ran each of those names one by one against us immigration records and sometimes other records in an effort to see if we could determine whether any of those people came here assuming they hadn't changed their names

OK Bloomer!

"First story you're going to hear today is about. Amelia bloomers preferred article of clothing which did a lot to advance the cause of women's suffrage this year. Of course marks the one hundred the anniversary of the nineteenth amendment which was a big step towards all Americans. Earning the right to vote this episode also features a story written told by Melinda Beck. Melinda works with me at the Frazier History Museum in Louisville and has thoroughly researched and created a performance about the incredible turn of the century bicyclist. Tillie Anderson the performance can be seen live at special times during the run of the exhibit which is called what is about worth suffrage. Then and now there's a lot the story is about and it certainly doesn't cover everything in a nutshell. It's a tale of votes bikes and bloomers. Which wasn't a chant from the time period but might as well have been in the late nineteenth century which is a confusing way to say. The eighteen hundreds many women were fed up with certain aspects of their lives. Yes the size and lack of comfort in their clothes was frustrating but ladies were also longing for freedom to move about their cities rather than be stuck at home and they wanted to vote. Can you believe that they couldn't Amelia? Bloomer was one such supper just which is a confusing way to say that she worked to get women the right to vote. Her name is also synonymous with an article of clothing. We think of it as underwear today to be fair. Amelia didn't invent bloomers. She just knew a good idea when she wore one. It was another uncomfortably. Clad lady named Elizabeth Smith Miller who made them a reality like many other women. Elizabeth spent years and address seemed as big as a church bell and nearly as heavy at the time people would've told an unsatisfied upstart like Elizabeth. That the constricting close. She was expected to where. We're no big deal. A woman's work at the time was supposedly much less demanding than a man's therefore what need would she have for a silly indulgence like mere comfort but Elizabeth was not buying it for she was investment visionary? Some would call her crazy but she longed for the simple pleasures of sitting down without eclipsing behind the giant upturned hoop skirt and he was a beautiful dream of hers to bend over with ease to grab something off the floor or even walk through a living room. Without leaving everything they're scattered on the ground. Like a bunch of dead bowling pens. Perhaps most of all she just wanted to breathe but these were things her clothes at didn't really allow for so she scrapped the suffocating course and bird cage like structure under her skirt tossed the mess of fabric into the closet and set to work with scissors and thread inspired by the memory of something that she had seen on a trip across the ocean. She finished one fateful day in eighteen fifty one and stepped out her door and into the free air wearing billowy white leg coverings that reached her ankles and covering these long underwear like leggings was a skirt that broke well below her knee. She said no to the dress at the time the outfit was most often referred to as Panta. Let's which were the leg coverings and tunic. Which was the skirt. Imagine people shock and disgust when she crossed the yard and not a single twig got stuck in her new outfit now. Elizabeth didn't even knock over any tables in her living room. How undignified perhaps most shocking of all? It didn't take an hour. Or more to send her course at breathtakingly tight and install all of the necessary parts that would provide the poof underneath. What on Earth would she do with all of the time she saved by wearing something so simple something devilish no doubt the criticisms roll off of Elizabeth like water off of a beaver cler swimsuit because she had the courage to wear a skirt with simple pantaloons as underwear. If there had been cars they would act as she strolled by. If there had been cameras the Paparazzi would have tumbled over one another for the snap on the whole the eighteen fifties were pretty free from these modern inventions. Though and the only thing there was to spread the shocking word of her costume was well the written word. Some people love the outfit but plenty of people simply couldn't handle it. Those detractors made sure to get plenty of ink in the newspapers talking. About what an abomination the clothing Combo was history can confirm anything. It can confirm that haters have always hated. Amelia bloomer on the other hand fell head over heels for the outfit that broke just above her ankles and Luckily Amelia had her own really popular newspaper called the Lily. The newspaper had begun when she a group of her friends had the idea to start a publication for women dedicated to promoting the things that they truly believed in keeping paver. Going wasn't one of those things for the other ladies because they didn't follow through quitting to leave Amelia high and dry and alone to do the job she could quit to. No one would have really known but Amelia resolved not to walk away so she became the editor and pretty much everything else. The Lily ran articles mostly about two original guiding principles. The first was temperance. The newspaper hated alcohol. The other focus of the paper was on women's rights. Amelia made the argument that a growing set of laws were made that affected every woman in America and not a single one of these women had any say in the matter. This was completely unfair. Women couldn't vote. They couldn't hold office and they couldn't even have much control over their own lives for its first few years. Amelia published the paper to a subscription audience of around four hundred women and men. Then she got involved in dress reform. It happened when a few notable friends saw the fashion forward society angering Panta let and Tunic Combo and they ditched their dresses to one of those dress. Stitchers was Amelia's friend. Elizabeth Katie Stanton and donning the outfit. She paid a visit to our PAL and as soon as Amelia thought. She was smitten and she knew that others would be too and she bet that the lily was a great way to spread the word. The paper published descriptions of the Panta. Let's and depictions of the TUNIC. Amelia waxed poetic on the mini freedoms it would give women inside the home and out and she even printed instructions for making your own set. This wasn't a time period where you can head to the store and easily purchased fitted clothing in your size so most people took a diy approach and could so their own underwear and outerwear bolstered by people's rabbit interest and the radical new clothing. The paper subscription ballooned to nearly four thousand names. Meanwhile the ladies and the daring new outfits were strolling through the dirty streets of towns all over the country scaring the establishment with the threat of Easy Movement. Dirt-free hemlines and healthy unsquashed internal organs. One big question still lingered on everyone's minds though. What do we call this outfit? Though somewhat descriptive mantelet and Tunic Combo had about the same amount of sparkle as a muddy chunk of coal because so many people learned about it through her newspaper. The outrageous ensemble began to be called the bloomer costume and eventually bloomers became the name for the long pants worn underneath the skirt for several years. The bloomer costume was a ferocious fashion trend. Empowering women all over the country eventually Amelia herself gave up on the garments so she actually grew tired. All the controversy they created. People just wanted to talk about clothes rather than the real issues which was women's rights. The bloomer costume may have been a little bit ahead of its time but a few decades later. There was a resurgence in eighteen nineties. America was dominated by a new fad. Everyone wanted to be riding bicycles and no longer. Did people have to struggle to climb aboard one of those huge wheeled monstrosities called the penny farthing? There was a new kind of bike called the safety bicycle and it closely resembles the bike. That you might right around your neighborhood today. Women constantly stuck at home adopted this bike as their own so much so that one was often called a ladies bike. Big billowy dresses again caused a problem. All that fabric flying around could get stuck in the gears spinning tires a wrong move and the writer could be graded like cheese or sent flying up and tumbling to the ground below. The solution was simple. The bloomer costume with its separate underwear and covered legs and skirt. It allowed a writer to straddle the seat and conquer the world or at least one city after decades of struggle and fight. The Nineteenth Amendment was passed in nineteen twenty as a result. Some women though not all women finally had the right to vote. It would take decades more before people were allowed to vote without discrimination. Native Americans were not able to vote until nineteen twenty four and Chinese American citizens not until nineteen forty three and it wasn't until the voting rights act of nineteen sixty five that all American citizens were granted the right to vote and protected in doing so Susan B. Anthony perhaps the most famous suffer just in America said women earning. The right had a lot to do with bicycles. Let me tell you what I think of bicycles. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self reliance I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. Picture OF FREE UNTRAMMELLED WOMANHOOD. It was a symbol of self reliance and resistance for women of the time and it wouldn't have been possible or at least safe without bloomers.
