April 22-22, 2025

On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, Phyllis Zimbler Miller premiered a new episode of her podcast, Things You Didn’t Know About the Holocaust, centered on the topic of Operation Bernhard, the secret Nazi operation during World War II which forced Jewish prisoners in Sachsenhausen to forge British bank notes in an attempt to destabilize the British economy.

Phyllis was joined by three special guests to help her discuss the history of Operation Bernhard: Charlotte Krüger (the granddaughter of Bernhard Krüger, the Nazi in charge of the operation), Debbie Walter (the daughter of Hans Walter, one of the Operation Bernhard survivors), and Danny Spungen.

You can watch the podcast episode on Phyllis’ YouTube channel HERE.
