True Mass

On September 15, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, was bombed, killing four young girls. Who were the perpetrators? Due to reluctant witnesses and racial prejudice, the FBI closed the case without any indictments. But as Martin Luther King, Jr., claimed, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Bending Toward Justice is a detailed account of this key moment in our national struggle for equality and the long road to prosecuting those responsible for the tragedy, related by an author who played a major role in the investigation.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, nel triangolo fra Padova, Treviso e Venezia abitano alcuni degli uomini più feroci del terrorismo italiano.

Alle 16.37 del 12 dicembre 1969, a Milano, sotto il grande tavolo al centro della sala aperta al pubblico della Banca nazionale dell'Agricoltura esplode una bomba. Diciassette persone muoiono. Centinaia rimangono ferite. Da allora sono passati anni di inchieste e decine di sentenze.

Sutherland Springs was the last place anyone would have expected to be victimized by our modern-day scourge of mass shootings. Founded in the 1850s along historic Cibolo Creek, the tiny community, named for the designated physician during the siege of the Alamo, was once a vibrant destination for wealthy tourists looking to soak up the "cures" of its namesake mineral springs. By November 5, 2017, however, the day a former Air Force enlistee opened fire in the town's First Baptist Church, Sutherland Springs was a shadow of its former self.

On a hot rainy summer night in Nassau, the Bahamas, in 1943, someone murdered Sir Harry Oakes, one of the richest men in the world, as he slept. When police found him the next morning, there were four wounds to his skull. His corpse had been abused, covered ritualistically with feathers and set on fire.

A few evenings later in New York City, the phone rang in the home of Alan Hynd, identified in that era by the NY Times as America’s highest paid true crime reporter.

During the war period, an estimated 5,000 females served as guards in concentration camps. These Nazi wardresses would often times be more brutal than their male counterparts. The graphic violence that occurred under the watch of these women would go on to shock and terrify the public. Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, the movie that essentially spawned the cult subgenre that is now known as Naziploitation, or Nazi Exploitation, was based on Ilse Koch, an overseer at several concentration camps run by her husband, Karl-Otto Koch.

Det telefonsamtal som söndagen 21 februari 1999 klockan 16.15 nådde larmcentralen i Helsingfors inledde en för finska förhållanden unik brottsutredning.

Quanti conoscono la parola "Porrajmos"? Porrajmos nella lingua della maggior parte dei rom e dei sinti significa "divoramento" e indica lo sterminio che il Terzo Reich attuò nei loro confronti. Una persecuzione su base razziale che portò alla morte di oltre 500.000 persone. Nell'audiolibro "Porrajmos" abbiamo raccolto l'intensa testimonianza di Otto Rosenberg, un sinto tedesco nato a Berlino nel 1927.

Nel corso della prima guerra mondiale il governo ultranazionalista dei Giovani Turchi compie la scelta di turchizzare totalmente l'Anatolia e decide di deportare e sterminare la minoranza armena che viveva lì da secoli.

Nothing casts a more sinister shadow over our nation's history than the gruesome lynchings that happened between 1882 and 1937, claiming 4,680 victims. Often, in a show of racist violence, the lynchers tortured their victims before murdering them. Most killers were never brought to justice; some were instead celebrated as heroes, their victims' bodies displayed or even cut up and distributed as trophies.
