Searching for America with Robyn Curnow

Use and abuse of the words Nazi and Hitler | Robyn Curnow


Listen Later

During Holocaust Remembrance Week, Robyn Curnow laments the words 'Nazi' and 'Hitler' are being overused in political name-calling. Stop cherrypicking the past to pigeonhole the present, she says, especially when it comes to the Holocaust.

No. Trump and his team are not Nazis and Hitlers.

No. Americans are not like 'Germans supporting Hitler,' or 'Russians supporting Putin' blindly.

And no, Big Business is not doing a Vichy France capitulation.

Leave the Holocaust out of political mudslinging - it's a specific time in history that cannot be used as a lens today. Or ever again.
