And when was she important to world history?
Today we live in the era of Godwyn's Law,
where from 1990, the start of the online life,
whoever is the first to mention Hitler
in support of their argument loses by default.
But in 1931 Dorothy Thompson
was the woman who not only met Hitler
before he ascended to power, but interviewed him.
She was among the first to recognise
what he wanted to do to the world
-well before everyone else did.
.
Listen to her voice and story here,
and learn abut how before 1936
the new Olympian movement
stumbled into the age of mass media
and totalitarian presentations of power.
