The Unsung Heroes Who Fought Against Fascism
Sep 01, 05:08 PM
This is an excerpt from the full episode "We've Been Here Before– America's Fight Against Fascism," which originally aired in November 2023.
Michael speaks with Rachel Maddow about her book, "Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism." The pair discuss how modern-day efforts to undermine democracy have a prequel dating back to before and during World War II when an ultra-right authoritarian movement tried to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis. Rachel describes how members of congress got involved in spreading Nazi propaganda, how Henry Ford spread anti-Semitism throughout the U.S and Germany and the figures who made sure we saved ourselves from ourselves.
