The Story — and Lessons — of Fascism in Europe with Rick Steves
Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on October 21, 2024.
Travelers learn that when history speaks, we should listen. And in this special Election 2024 edition of Monday Night Travel, we join Rick Steves for a thought-provoking trip that goes back a century to track the rise of fascism in Europe. We learn how fascism took root in the turbulent aftermath of World War I when frustrated masses rose up, their fears stoked by charismatic leaders who manipulated their anger. We see the totalitarian societies they promised built and the brutal measures used to enforce their ideology. And as Rick screens his hit public television special, "The Story of Fascism in Europe," he'll share insights on how wannabe autocrats in fragile democracies across the West today seem to be reading from the same playbook that was so effective for Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco. Watch this important hour and encourage your family and friends — especially those on the fence about the importance of voting — to do the same.
