...this instance, the subject is Lyonel Feininger, a world famous and influential painter most closely associated with the Weimar Bauhaus--but you won't see any of his most important works from that period or even many of his paintings. Instead you will see cartoons, newspaper clippings and pamphlet covers dating from before, during and after his rise to prominence...
...went to Widener 2W, the German section, to read some of Hitler's earlier work. And I thought that the great quip about the "original German" was never so real. I was reading in 1929 and thinking about the disillusioned workers and Weimar and the need to have a strong fatherland. I was living in 1996 and living in 1929.

American liberals should learn the lessons of the Weimar Republic and start questioning the institutional manipulations of their opposition. Without dramatic action, they risk being permanently disenfranchised by Newts' minions...
...Vladimir Zhirinovsky is no Adolf Hitler, and the current Russian republic is no Weimar. Russia is not the pariah among nations that post-World War I Germany was; there are no Western Allied powers lording over a defeated Russia. True, Russia has suffered economic hardship, but not to the point of 400% inflation in four years (1929-1933) such as in Germany. Moreover, the Western powers are well-armed, prepared and even interventionist these days (as opposed to the way we were under the Monroe Doctrine-influenced isolationism of the 1930s...
