Weimar and the Road to Hitler: Can We Learn From Germany's Mistakes? ft. Katja Hoyer

On this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, join me for a conversation with Katja Hoyer, author of "Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe." In our chat, Katja and I discuss the collapse of Wilhelmine Germany, the history of the Weimar Republic, what Weimar can teach us about contemporary politics, the Republic's downfall, and the rise of Hitler. She and I link German history to current developments in European politics, like the rise of the AfD (Alternative for Deutschland), recent shake-ups in UK politics, mass migration, and how to restore faith in democracy.
