As a historian, I learn from history. As a traveler, I learn about my home by leaving it and viewing it from afar. And as a citizen of the United States of America, I vote with those lessons in mind.

When we travel thoughtfully, we gain a clearer perspective on our own nation’s challenges because we see how other nations have dealt with the same issues. We see the consequences of ignoring a budding problem before it balloons into a big one. And we see the beauty that results when a challenge is dealt with thoughtfully and successfully.

As a traveler, what’s been on your mind in these final days before our election? As for me, I’ve been thinking about Germany, where I learned how a generation can be led astray by a charismatic leader and how the German people paid a huge price for their ignorance.

Ninety years ago, Germany had a bombastic autocrat who, by mobilizing an angry base, derailed their democracy. And when he came to power, opportunists clamored for his favor. He gave a lot of medals to those loyal to him. The country was swimming in medals…heroes everywhere. Then, when it all fell apart, he retreated to his bunker, where he continued to egg on his base until, as the world closed in on him, he committed suicide.

With the leader gone, medals splashed like raindrops into lakes across the land. Suddenly, all those loyalists and heroes were nowhere to be seen — and medals proclaiming party loyalty were ditched and forgotten…as if they never existed. The adulation just vanished. And people no longer named their sons Adolf.

After years of lies, fear-mongering, and empty promises, Hitler had re-wired the brains of his base — the angry ones who followed him without question. Even when it became clear he was leading his nation into a devastating mistake, Germany had no escape.

In the end, Germany was destroyed, and the Russians raised their flag over the Reichstag.

The lesson for America? Today, Germans invest in educating their electorate...because they’ve learned from their dark history, and they see education not as a perk for society’s privileged but as a national security issue. (In America, some complain about “educated elites.” That’s a problem we can solve — not by dumbing down our society, but by providing a better education for all our citizens...before they become thugs ransacking our capital. Imagine a society where there’s nothing “elite” about a quality education because it’s accessible to all.)

I’d love to read your thoughts on how lessons from your own travels have influenced how you think about the challenges we face at home today.

Rick Steves: There was a handful of people who opposed Hitler, refused to do the proper salute, to kiss his ring; these are the Kinzingers, the Liz Cheneys, and the Mitt Romneys…of the German democracy in 1932…

Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews. He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less. This is dangerous and must be condemned. We will not be intimidated and will continue to live openly, proudly, and without fear as Jews.

@TVMoJoe Joe, was this Mel’s “happiest day since my Bar Mitzvah” moment?

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

The DNC has had a hostage family speak, featured wall to wall Zionist and Jewish speakers, the platform calls for ironclad support of Israel, it tore down signs calling to embargo Israel and repeatedly called to bring home the hostages. Those calling the Democratic Party anti-Israel are just gaslighting us. Ignore them and vote for Kamala with your Zionist heads held high.

I’m not placing more value on 90 minutes than on 3+ years.
I’m not placing more value on 90 minutes than on the next 4.

This election is about democracy vs a dictatorship.

This about trusted leadership vs a wannabe king.

That’s why it’s imperative that…
