"#History is powerful, and there’s no better evidence than the attempt to erase it.
As a #historian and as CEO of the #Jewish #Women’s Archive, I’ve staked my career on a theory of change that insists that the stories we tell about the past and the present determine our futures. That’s why I am alarmed — but not surprised — that the #Trump administration has made it a priority to wipe mentions of women, #trans people and #peopleofcolor from sites that celebrate their contributions to #American history and society."
Karen Falk, #archives Director and #historian for @hensoncompany and Vice President of The #jimhenson Legacy, gave a BTS look at Henson's work. Ms. Falk also signed copies of her book "Jim Henson's Imagination Illustrated!"

20 Lessons from the 20th Century About How to Defend #Democracy from #Authoritarianism, According to Yale #Historian #TimothySnyder
in History | January 20th, 2017
"Timothy Snyder, Housum Professor of History at Yale University, is one of the foremost scholars in the U.S. and Europe on the rise and fall of #totalitarianism during the 1930s and 40s. Among his long list of appointments and publications, he has won multiple awards for his recent international bestsellers '#Bloodlands: Europe between #Hitler and #Stalin' and last year’s 'Black Earth: The #Holocaust as History and Warning.' That book in part makes the argument that #Nazism wasn’t only a #German #nationalist movement but had global #colonialist origins—in #Russia, #Africa, and in the #UnitedStates, the nation that pioneered so many methods of human extermination, #racist #dehumanization, and ideologically-justified #LandGrabs.
"The hyper-#capitalism portrayed in the U.S.—even during the Depression—Snyder writes, fueled Hitler’s imagination, such that he promised Germans 'a life comparable to that of the American people,' whose 'racially pure and uncorrupted' German population he described as 'world class.' Snyder describes Hitler’s ideology as a myth of racialist struggle in which 'there are really no values in the world except for the stark reality that we are born in order to take things from other people.' Or as we often hear these days, that acting in accordance with this principle is the 'smart' thing to do. Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance."

“Crack-Up #Capitalism”: #Historian #QuinnSlobodian on #Trump, #Musk & the Movement to “Shatter” the State
#DemocracyNow, February 20, 2025
"Who are the minds behind #DOGE, and what do they really believe? Historian Quinn Slobodian says three strains of #conservatism have converged to form the second Trump administration’s #AntiDemocratic coalition: finance-backed #CorporateInterests previously friendly to the #DemocraticParty, #ChristianConservative think tanks who have long advocated for the end of the administrative state, and the online-driven movement of reactionary extremists who traffic in #WhiteSupremacist and #NeoNazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, says Slobodian, 'Trump is a person who doesn’t believe in much, but he believes in #money,' leaving him willing to enact the political visions of these three #ProCapitalist projects. Slobodian, an expert in German history, also discusses the connections between the Trump sphere and Germany’s far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD) party, supported by Musk and Vice President #JDVance.'"

ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."
