36. The nazis didn't come into power in one day

Last edited Wed Sep 5, 2012, 09:41 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

It's important to read first-person accounts of the time before the nazis came into power. Many Germans were like frogs in a slow simmering pot of water. Certain groups and classes of people were demonized for a long time until the dam finally broke.

And we all know what happened next.

Is history repeating? I sure hope not, but I don't think we truly will know until it's too late.
