Echoes of the Past – Episode 36 (Part 2): "American Swastikas: The German American Bund on Long Island"
Host: Zachary Graulich
Guest: Donna Rosenblum, Director of Education
In this eye-opening continuation of Echoes of the Past, Zachary Graulich and Donna Rosenblum take a deep dive into a lesser-known and unsettling chapter of American history—the rise of the German American Bund in the 1930s and its shocking presence right here on Long Island and in New York City.
From a 1939 pro-Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden to the disturbing details of Camp Siegfried in Yaphank, this episode explores how Nazi ideology found fertile ground in American soil. Zach and Donna discuss the Bund's strategic use of democratic ideals, youth indoctrination camps, and propaganda that blurred the lines between American patriotism and fascist allegiance.
A powerful conversation on the dangers of hate movements hiding in plain sight, the enduring impact of propaganda, and the importance of critical thinking—especially for younger generations.
“It’s not just about what happened over there—it happened here.”
