Rick Steves. Fascism in Europe. The well-known tourism film-maker deliberately created this film to warn his viewers in the West of authoritarianism, of the atrocious consequences of Mussolini’s Fascism and Hitler’s Nazism, of cults of leaders-- the Duce, the Führer--, and their imperial nationalism. Mussolini’s motto was “believe, obey, fight” for leader and state. To oppose or disobey Hitler meant imprisonment, torture, death. To accompany the film, Steves wrote a book, Travel as a Political Act. Steves argues that these totalitarians arose out of ignorance, anti-intellectualism, and fear. Thus he seeks in his films and book to prevent their recurrence via knowledge, understanding, and empathy of other nations and cultures. All of his travel films, we can hope, no matter how indirectly, influence for peace. See J. William Fulbright’s books and Exchange Program.—D
