Welcome back to Circa 1945: Breaking the Machine.Today’s parable is about bread. Because in Germany, in the years leading up to the Holocaust, bread wasn’t just food. It was weakness. And that weakness turned desperation into ideology, and ideology into genocide.Image Credit: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://dirtanddough.com/best-dutch-oven-for-bread/">https://dirtanddough.com/best-dutch-oven-for-bread/</a>

8. Borrowed Bread: A Story of Hunger

Welcome to Circa 1945: Breaking the Machine.This podcast asks one question: what would it take to genocide-proof a society?Genocide doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s not just ideology, not just a single evil leader. It’s infrastructure — housing, food, borders, propaganda, segregation — the machinery that makes atrocity possible.And just like a room can be baby-proofed, I believe societies can be genocide-proofed. If we study the years around 1945 — the years of the Holocaust, and before, and their aftershocks — we can learn how.Sometimes I’ll explain things directly. Other times, I’ll tell a story, a parable. Stories carry truths that lectures can’t.Updates Tuesdays
