The United States under Trump

What changes have occurred since Trump’s second term? How should the increasingly common Nazi comparisons in public discourse be interpreted? Are there parallels to the National Socialists’ rise to power in Germany in 1933? Are comparisons between the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Gestapo appropriate? What is the attitude of the U.S. public?

These are some of the questions that will be discussed during the panel discussion.

• Keynote Address: Dr. Christoph von Marschall
• Panel discussion: Dr. Melinda Crane, Dr. Christoph von Marschall, and Prof. Dr. Michael Wildt
• Moderator: Dr. Andrea Riedle
