Teaching Modern German History in the Age of Trump

Dr. Laird Easton
History Department
CSU, Chico

 Dr. Laird Easton, who has taught modern German history at Chico State for more than 25 years, examines the parallels and differences between the Trump Administration and Hitler’s Germany. The Trump presidency poses ethical, pedagogical, and political challenges to those who teach the history of modern Germany, challenges that go to the very heart of the purpose and value of history itself.
