flirting with fascism.  ( Saints and Villains meets Trump)

6/20/2017

Sabine had written, Dearest brother, our people are more than flirting with fascism.  On every side one hears expressions of the purest hatred directed toward the government, toward Jews, toward emancipated women, toward artists and writers.---Dietrich's father had written, Do not believe any alarmist news from Germany.  Of course your sister is upset.  The Nazis make noise, and regularly brawl with Communists in the streets.  (Not in our neighborhood.)  There is some harassment of the Jews as well.  But the German people will never vote for Hitler.  Only a putsch could bring him to power, but a putsch requires secrecy, and a popularity Hitler does not enjoy.  Never fear, we are keeping a close eye on our little Austrian.  Sleep well, my son.

Saints and Villains
a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
