Prophesy for the Thousand Year Reich: Maria Berl-Lee, additional polemics

May It Roast In Hell! by Caleb Miller

Episode notes

Take a look with me at a little-known author's life who was part of the Austrian Diaspora in America during and after World War Two. A writer who wrote in both German and English, her poems question the cold logic of the human condition, especially in her cautionary poem to those who hate through their prejudice: Prophesy for the Thousand Year Reich. Additionally, I add some dramaturgical notes (read: polemics) in regards to the storming of the U.S. Congress Building last week. Skip to 5:38 to avoid the polemics.
