Evening Reception, Lecture and Book Signing with Historian and Author Ed Gordon
The economic and political conditions at the time of Hitler’s rise were key to enabling him to seize the reins of power in Germany. This program will particularly focus on how Hitler, with the help of Joseph Goebbels, masterfully turned a wide variety of mass media into a propaganda machine to win over the German people. The monstrous Nazi criminal regime continued its domination using terror, tyranny, and lies.
