This event not only saved thousands of lives, including future Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, but also forced the world to confront the full scale of Nazi atrocities. Our episode delves into the heroic internal resistance of the camp's prisoners and the tactical liberation by the Sixth Armored Division. We also transition into a celebration of culture and justice, marking the birthdays of Broadway legend Joel Grey, groundbreaking judge Jane Bolin, and soul artist Joss Stone. Finally, we explore the origins of American naval power with the 1900 purchase of the USS Holland, the Navy's first modern submarine. Together, these stories reflect a day defined by the pursuit of freedom, the breaking of barriers, and the evolution of technology.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mkCnMvKg2YZJk2kZMcI1a1R5MdeCfMFSDLiEp95sLBs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZmVm/ZGJhOGNlMGI4ZDQ3/NGFlYzg3ZTk5NDVm/MDg5Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
