In 1943, hundreds of German women managed to win the freedom of their Jewish husbands

In February 1943, hundreds of German women joined in a spontaneous protest in central Berlin. They were objecting to the roundup of some of the city's last Jews -- their husbands. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenstrasse protest, a remarkable example of civil disobedience.
We'll also ponder whether a computer can make art and puzzle over some unusual phone calls.
