Killing Queers: The Nazi Extermination of Gay Men , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
Although Jews and other groups were given reparations and state pensions, gay men were excluded. In fact, gay men in Germany remained criminals, as the 1935 Nazi-legal change was on the books until 1969. Homosexual Holocaust survivors were often re-imprisoned for these “repeat offenses”, even being kept on lists of “sex offenders”. Following the fall of the Nazi government, countless homosexuals were forced to serve further imprisonment, regardless of their time in concentration camps. ungekürzt. Language: English.

American Memories: Atrocities and the Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
In the long history of warfare and cultural and ethnic violence, the 20th century was exceptional for producing institutions charged with seeking accountability or redress for violent offenses and human rights abuses across the globe, often forcing nations to confront the consequences of past atrocities. The Holocaust ended with trials at Nuremberg, apartheid in South Africa concluded with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the Gacaca courts continue to strive for closure in the wake of the Rwandan genocide. Despite this global trend toward accountability, American collective memory appears distinct in that it tends to glorify the nation's past, celebrating triumphs while eliding darker episodes in its history. In American Memories, sociologists Joachim Savelsberg and Ryan King rigorously examine how the United States remembers its own and others' atrocities, and how institutional responses to such crimes, including trials and tribunals, may help shape memories and perhaps impede future violence. American Memories uses historical and media accounts, court records, and survey research to examine a number of atrocities from the nation's past, including the massacres of civilians by US military in My Lai, Vietnam, and Haditha, Iraq. The audiobook shows that when states initiate responses to such violence - via criminal trials, tribunals, or reconciliation hearings - they lay important groundwork for how such atrocities are viewed in the future. Trials can serve to delegitimize violence - even by a nation's military - by creating a public record of grave offenses. But the law is filtered by and must also compete with other institutions, such as the media and historical texts, in shaping American memory. American Memories provocatively suggests that a nation's memories don't just develop as a rejoinder to events - they are largely shaped by institutions. The audiobook is published by the Russell Sage Foundation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Bill Brooks. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/095581/bk_acx0_095581_sample.mp3.

The Gift, Hörbuch, Digital, 142min
In our consumer culture, Christmas has become all about getting and giving the latest gadgets and goods. Because of that we've pushed aside the one gift that fulfills our deepest needs: Jesus Christ. In this special series, Pastor Skip Heitzig takes a fresh look at the gifts the wise men brought the child Jesus - gold, frankincense, and myrrh - and the ultimate gift that Jesus offers through salvation. "And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification." (Romans 5:16) Language: English.

Oscar Wilde , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
Frank Harris, a journalist and editor, delighted in Oscar Wilde's genial wit and self-assurance. Wilde's verbal charms evoked Harris' financial and emotional support when Victorian England disdained the playwright for his paganism and imprisoned him for "homosexual offenses". Harris relates the proceedings of Wilde's trial and the malice that sent him to France after release from prison. Later years found Harris increasingly frustrated with Wilde, as the playwright's humor gave way to bitterness and self-pity. Repeatedly, Harris urged the author of The Importance of Being Earnest to continue to write. His pleas met with excuses, indolence, and incessant requests for money. Harris' frustration peaked when he bought an idea for a play from Wilde, then learned that Wilde had already sold the idea to several others. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Whitfield.

Gospel of Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
Garrison Keillor and Dan Johnson both grew up in the bosom of fundamentalism. Their shared love of the Bible and its stories led to this collaboration, which blends details from all the gospels into a single book-length story. Keillor narrates the biography of this amazing man, Jesus, from the slum of Nazareth in the province of Galilee, who confounded dignitaries, healed the sick, and taught those who would listen. He claimed to be God, and that through his death God would graciously forgive the offenses of all who accept this. His story is the foundation from which Christianity has developed, stumbled, and evolved. Centuries ago, early Christians listened as the Bible was read to them. This new recording continues that tradition with a conversational translation performed by America's favorite storyteller. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Garrison Keillor.
