on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.
Professor Stargardt is a historian at Oxford
University and the author of several books including the most
recent
Witnesses of War - Children's
Lives under the Nazis and The German War: A Nation
Under Arms.
In this week's installment of
the podcast, Dr. Stargardt and Chauncey discuss children, trauma,
the Holocaust and World War 2. Dr. Stargardt also shares his
thoughts on the role of "everyday" Germans in World War 2 and the
rise of Hitler. Chauncey and Dr. Stargardt also do some sharing
about the particular challenges experienced by Afro-Germans under
the Nazi regime, as well as try to locate Donald Trump's proto
fascism within the proper political and historical
context.
During this week's podcast, Chauncey talks about the horrible new Star Trek Beyond movie, complains some more about the Chicago heat, and talks about the new revelations regarding Right-wing Fox News sex pervert Roger Ailes.
