In a chilling NBC News interview, a rabbi described how the marchers reminded him of Nazi marches under Hitler. Nazism lost, as did the Confederacy. Why do people who see themselves as strong and proud cling to the symbols of these lost causes? Lost Cause of Nazism Just a few months ago, my father-in-law and I…
