Reichstag Fire: 27 February 1933

Article image Today is the seventieth anniversary of the Reichstag Fire, when a small group of political charlatans, supported by a small group of unscrupulous financiers, managed to frighten a legimate government into total submission.
History teaches that similar events occur in different times and in different places.

Lest we forget, please read how it was done, seventy years ago, today.
