  • Escape From Auschwitz- Jerzy Tabeau, The Man Who Told the World

    Escape From Auschwitz- Jerzy Tabeau, The Man Who Told the World
    Dec 26 2025

    Jerzy Tabeau was only a teenager when he was imprisoned in Auschwitz. He was not a soldier, not a spy—just a young man swallowed by the machinery of extermination. What he witnessed inside the camp would haunt him for the rest of his life: starvation, brutality, medical experiments, and the systematic murder of thousands.

    But Jerzy did something almost impossible.

    In 1943, he escaped Auschwitz.

    This episode follows Jerzy’s harrowing flight through occupied Poland, his narrow survival outside the camp, and the written report he helped deliver to the world—one of the earliest, most detailed eyewitness accounts of Auschwitz’s horrors. A warning that was almost too horrific to believe… and largely ignored.

    This is a story about terror, courage, and the unbearable weight of truth.

    Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of concentration camp violence, starvation, and death.

  • Marcel Marceau- The Mime Who Defied the Nazis

    Marcel Marceau- The Mime Who Defied the Nazis
    Dec 24 2025

    This Christmas, Macabre: Dark History steps away from jingling bells and into the shadows of World War II to tell one of the most haunting—and hopeful—stories of the Holocaust.

    Before he was the world’s most famous mime, Marcel Marceau was a teenage Jewish boy using silence as a weapon against death. While Nazi forces closed in, Marceau helped smuggle Jewish children to safety, entertaining them into calm, masking fear, and quite literally saving lives without ever speaking a word.

    This is a Christmas story not about miracles from above—but about quiet bravery, resistance, and humanity whispered through the power of silence.

  • A Very Pagan Christmas

    A Very Pagan Christmas
    Dec 22 2025
    Think Christmas has always been wholesome and holy? Think again.In A Very Pagan Christmas, we rip the halo off the holiday and dive headfirst into its messier origins — from the boozy chaos of Saturnalia, to bonfires, goat symbolism, and the general “let’s survive winter” vibes of Yule. We even take a detour into the nightmare fuel that is Perchtenlauf — because nothing says seasonal cheer like demon masks and public terror.We unpack how Christianity quietly rebranded all of this into Christmas, why the joy-killing Puritans literally banned the holiday, and how the Victorian era dragged it back from the dead, added mistletoe, and told us all to behave.It’s festive. It’s forbidden. It’s historically unhinged — and it’ll make you question everything you were taught about Christmas.EXCLUSIVE FEED Spotify subscribers get ad free content, early access and exclusive bonus episodes .Paid supporters on Patreon, Join us for Macabre Movie Nights and Game Nights :⁠⁠ Macabre Patreon⁠⁠Send in your stories for a future listener episode!Email us at thatssomacabre@gmail.comJoin our private Facebook Group at :⁠⁠ MacabrePodcast⁠⁠Get Macabre Exclusive Merch @ www.gothiccthreads.comSOURCES: 🎄 Pagan & Pre-Christian TraditionsSaturnaliahttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Saturnalia-Roman-festivalhttps://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/saturnaliahttps://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/saturnalia.htmlYulehttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Yulehttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/why-winter-solstice-was-feared-by-ancient-cultureshttps://www.history.com/topics/christmas/history-of-christmasPerchtenlaufhttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/perchtenlaufhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Perchtahttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/perchtenlauf-alpine-winter-festival-180979394/https://www.history.com/topics/christmas/history-of-christmashttps://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/holydays/christmas.shtmlhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/christmas-history-pagan-originshttps://www.history.com/news/when-christmas-was-bannedhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-christmas-was-banned-boston-180973403/https://www.massmoments.org/moment-details/christmas-is-banned-in-boston.htmlhttps://www.bl.uk/victorian-britain/articles/christmas-in-victorian-britainhttps://www.history.com/topics/christmas/history-of-christmas-treeshttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Christmas/Victorian-revivalhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/victorians/christmas_01.shtml

  • MACABRE Drunken History : Thomas Edison vs. Nikola Tesla

    MACABRE Drunken History : Thomas Edison vs. Nikola Tesla
    Dec 15 2025

    In this chaotic Drunken History episode, Halley and Blaire stumble through the electrifying feud between Thomas Edison, the greedy showman who stole ideas as easily as he shocked animals for PR and Nikola Tesla—the eccentric genius with wild experiments and an unsettling devotion to pigeons . Together, we drunkenly unravel their inventions, their pettiness, and how their rivalry changed the course of history forever.
