Hot History

Why are we obsessed with the Nazis?


Listen Later

Hello you, welcome back to Hot History! I’m so excited for our 1st HOT TAKE episode and today, we're looking at WHY we're obsessed with the Nazis. So many of you sent in your take and I've loved deeping this big Q with you guys.

Here are the 4 key reasons WHY based on what you sent in:

1. Morbid Curiosity

2. Nazi Showmanship

3. Awful sense of awe

4. Time & Scope

5. Rise in right wing authoritarianism

PLUS we look at when our obsession goes from curiosity (safe) to glorification (danger) and how to be aware of what motivates your consumption.

Next week we're looking at the mysterious order of Parisian knights dating back to the crusades who guard Jesus' crown of thorns - or do they??
