while reading 'In the Shadow of the Magic Mountain: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story'

"Reading about 1932-1933 in Germany, when 'a relatively small group of right-wing extremists became a center-stage political party with a huge herd of followers....ideology which played to people's worst fears, resentments, and insecurities'....GOOD THING NOTHING LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN HERE."
