Does history, especially bad human history, tend to repeat itself?
A thought-provoking educational film released on January 15, 1943
by Walt Disney Productions, this animated short is based on the non-fiction
bestseller, "Education For Death" by American writer and educator
Gregor Ziemer. He and his family lived in Germany from 1928
to 1939, where he served as the headmaster of the American
School in Berlin, and, where he witnessed first hand the meteoric
rise of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, before fleeing the nation and
returning to the safety of America, where he lived in his wife
Edna's hometown of Lake City, Minnesota.
During the Nuremberg Trials, an affidavit by Ziemer, which was said to
be an excerpt from one of his books, was presented to the prosecutors to
better understand Nazi society in general and in particular, the education
of children during the time-changing innocent and inquiring minds into
Nazi drones, devoid of laughter, hope, tolerance or mercy.
Is a similar situation evolving in America today with the infiltration
of Woke ideology within the public school system? Although the
times and circumstances may be different, the indoctrination of
vulnerable children is an alarming reality within our nation today.
