About Harvey's guest: 

Today’s guest, Stanley A. Goldman, has written a book that moved me so deeply, that I simply had to invite him on our show.  The book is entitled, “Left to the Mercy of a Rude Stream: The Bargain That Broke Adolf Hitler and Saved my Mother”.   

Our guest tells the riveting and harrowing account of how his mother, Malka Repstein, a young Jewish wife and mother living in Poland during the Second World War, survived the unspeakably brutal murder by the Nazis of her husband and 2 young children, and spent 2 years in the horrific Lodz ghetto, before being transported to the Auschwitz death camp, where she and a group of 500 women were literally at the steps of the gas chambers, when they were miraculously saved and sent to the Krupp Munitions Factory in Berlin to work as slaves, and subjected to inhuman living and working conditions.   

In April 1945, the women were transported from the factory to the notorious Ravensbruk concentration camp to be exterminated.  Malka had no idea that her life would be saved by a bizarrely improbable and little known bargain struck on April 21, 1945, by a courageous German Jew with a Swedish passport, by the name of Norbert Masur, and the worst mass murderer of the 3rd Reich, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and Gestapo, directly responsible for the implementation of the unprecedented and most extensive genocide in history, carried out by the Nazi regime, and forever referred to as the Holocaust.   

Himmler, who by that time realized only too well that the Germans were headed for humiliating defeat, was desperate to cultivate a positive relationship with the Allies in the hopes of saving his own skin.  And so he secretly agreed to release 1,000 Jewish female prisoners from the Ravensbruk concentration camp and turn them over to the Red Cross for safe passage to Sweden.  Malka eventually went to America, married Morris Goldman, and gave birth to our guest.   

He’s a professor of law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, as well as a celebrated journalist and television news correspondent and legal analyst.  He’s also the founding director of the Loyola Center for the Study of Law and Genocide.
