This week we did something a little bit different. In Episode 13, Robert is joined by Naomi Ekperigin (Couples Therapy Podcast) and we will be getting ‘behind’ Hitler again, but our focus is not going to be the Fuhrer himself or any Nazis, for that matter. Instead we’re talking about the men and women who helped Hitler rise to power.

The Nazi fascist movement in Germany was a reaction to left-wing politics and the popular impression that left wingers and socialists were going to ruin the country. Before the Nazis rose to power, Berlin was a bastion of progressivism. There was a thriving LGBTQ+ scene, and a lot of research published about trans people (that was then burned by Nazis in book burnings).

We have so many examples of how it can happen, we have no excuse for not noticing the patterns.

Cody Johnston also looking deep into the topic. This video has two follow-on videos that I highly recommend:
