How does authoritarianism take hold? What warning signs do we often miss? In this episode, we speak with Bruce Neuburger, author of Postcards to Hitler: A German Jew’s Defiance in a Time of Terror, about the rise of political extremism—then and now. Neuburger shares his grandfather’s incredible story of resistance under Nazi rule and explores the modern parallels we can’t afford to ignore.

🔹 How authoritarian regimes normalize oppression
🔹 The role of propaganda in shaping public perception
🔹 Lessons from Nazi Germany and today’s political landscape
🔹 What individuals can do to push back against creeping authoritarianism
