History is a potent teacher and we ignore her lessons at our peril. In 1933, three weeks after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany the Reichstag was set on fire. The arsonist was identified as a communist and the Nazi Party used the burning of the German parliament building as an excuse for the passage of a law which served as the springboard for the establishment of the Nazi state.
How the United States handles today’s unprecedented attack by a Trump instigated mob upon the seat of American government and the principles of democracy and the rule of law, will determine whether our country survives as a free and democratic nation.
