What if I told you that we can connect Woodrow Wilson to the Nazis in a single degree of separation?

No, this is not the zillionth illustration of Godwin’s Law that you’ve seen this week; it is simply little-known historical fact.

In this dose of Dangerous History, we’ll talk about the little-known eugenicist psychiatrist who drafted the eugenics sterilization bill that Woodrow Wilson signed into law in 1911 (during his brief tenure as Governor of New Jersey), and who later collaborated with the Nazis who ran the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp three decades later.

Join CJ as he discusses the life and career of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen, and the historical context in which they occurred.

(Originally published July, 2022)

Finally! Here it is – the longest and, I believe, the most important Dangerous History Podcast episode I’ve done to date! (I recorded the first of many segments for this episode all the way back in April, and had been researching & composing notes for it for many months before that!)

Join CJ as he discusses the massive British propaganda operation in the US that ran from 1914-1917 (during the period of American “neutrality”), which was a crucial factor in eventually bringing the US into World War I.
