Have you ever wondered how societies rebound from atrocities like the Holocaust? Join me for a compelling conversation with scholar and author Dan McMillan, where we explore this very question. Founder and leader of Safe Democracy in America, Dan provides a unique perspective on societal resilience in the face of trauma, drawing from his study of the Holocaust. His insights shed light on the resilience of victims and also on the moral evolution that societies undergo in the aftermath of such horrors.

We delve into how World War II set the stage for the civil rights movement, one of the most significant societal changes in American history. And we talk about the enduring power of belief in human potential and underline the importance of resilience at an individual level.

With Dan's perspective on the moral progress of society in the last 60 years, we will navigate the intersection of history, resilience, and human rights. Join us as we successfully challenge your understanding of the past and offer renewed hope for the future.

Dan is the founder and executive director of Save Democracy in America, and he has a Ph.D. in German history from Columbia University and a law degree from Fordham. He has worked as a book editor, as a history professor, and as a prosecuting attorney, and published his first book in 2014, the acclaimed How Could This Happen: Explaining the Holocaust. 

You can reach Dan via his website Save Democracy in America or buy his book How Could This Happen? Explaining the Holocaust.
