Season 36

An historical profile of the German American Bund, a pro-Nazi organization that in the 1930s boasted scores of chapters across the United States, emblematic of what many perceived as a genuine threat of fascist subversion within the country. The group staged joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran summer camps for children centered on Nazi ideology and imagery, intertwining patriotic sentiment with virulent anti-Semitism.
