Wonderful piece by Gal Beckerman at #theatlantic

“The varied reactions to what feels, in 1933, like a rupture that might lead to worse or might not, will be recognizable…in 2022. Some of the first pages are filled with laughter at these new contenders for power, at just how “ridiculous” they are, how “vulgar.” Certainly they are no match for the civilizing force of German culture and Bildung.”
