DK Podcast: How Much do we Really Know About WWI?

As the House Intelligence Committee memo alleging FBI malfeasance in its Russia investigation grabs the headlines, a look back at Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre. The Saturday Night Massacre was the hinge point of the Watergate scandal.  The words coup and Third Reich were thrown around. The events of that weekend in October 1973 marked the beginning of the end of Nixon’s Presidency.  Do they hold a lesson for today?  President Trump has started his term of office exercising power in a similar fashion.  His firing of the acting Attorney General Sally Yates has echoes of the Saturday Night Massacre.  Nixon said, “If the President does it, it’s not illegal.” Trump acts as if he thinks that is the way the world works.  But Nixon found out even his own Republican Party didn’t think that was true.  Will Trump?  This is an essay from my archive and it offers a chance to reflect on how American politics has changed in the more than four decades since the Watergate scandal.

Title: "Legitimating Nazism: American Universities and the Third Reich" 

Convener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP)

Location: Yale University, New Haven, CT

Date: February 24, 2011

Description: Dr. Stephen Norwood maintains that during the 1930s, American university campuses forged friendly ties with early Nazi party universities and in doing so helped enhance the Hitler regime’s prestige in the West. Many universities welcomed Nazi officials to campus and eagerly participated in Nazi propaganda. The Nazis believed universities to be critical in their efforts to disseminate propaganda, underlying the Nazi ideology which began by expelling Jews from faculty positions, burning books and ultimately ended in their desire to annihilate the Jewish people. Yet, as the Nazis continued to take steps to isolate and ostracize European Jewry, many leaders of American universities failed to take steps against the Nazi assault on academic freedom.
