This is a must read with the federal government administration in 2018. I found too many similarities. Fortunately, our current laws (unless they are dismantled) prohibit the 100's of laws made against the Jews and any German or other sympathizers.

This book is blood curdling, heart wrenching, and bone chilling. The world sat silent in 1934 when they could have come together to stop what became all that was WWII. I can't honestly say that this would be prevented today. I can hope, but I don't know it for certain.
