2. The 1st Episode of his "The US and the Holocaust" had so many chilling parallels to today.

6. Looking forward to this

And reading bout it, it's worth noting that this is about how America refused to take Jewish immigrants into our country after WWII. It's the same type of Xenophobia driving the GOP today.

If they identify is good, kind, religious people.

Against the Jewish.

9. It was chilling

But I intend to keep watching.

My husband became a US Citizen last November - after about 49 years of being a green card holder, moving back home to Italy in the early 80's, coming back here in 2021. His Zio Nicola was in the 'in crowd' with Beni Mussolini. The family is harshly anti-fascist - they've seen how bad it can get.

He kept saying - Ad - you see? You see it right?

Yes G Man - I see it.

11. Charles Lindbergh

I learned he wanted to keep us out of war when I was in school. I never learned what a pro-Nazi, anti-Jewish person he was. Thid documentary is eye opening.

12. There was an HBO what-if series about Lindbergh becoming president
