Comparisons in history

Here's a Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust produced by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, College of Education, University of South Florida. I'm thinking we should be reviewing this information and looking for parallels in our lives today. I'm not sure that today's focus is Anti-Semitism, maybe Anti-Other-ethnic-religious-groups, but the surrounding behaviors may be more parallel than we would like. I'm talking about perceptions of "other," perception of self, selection of leaders, success of demagogues, spin, and desperate partisanship.
