Today on the show is historian Timothy Ryback. Timothy is an author and writer with The Atlantic. He’s the director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague.
Last year he published ‘Takeover’ which documents the ways Hitler and his enablers in the German establishment cleared the pathway to Nazism through constitutional means.
He’s on the show to discuss – what he refers to as the “disturbing echoes” between Nazi Germany and contemporary America. Particularly between Adolph Hitler and US President Donald Trump.
