Fascism: A Warning by Madeleine Albright
Fascism: A Warning by Madeleine Albright – Available from Amazon.com A personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world, written by one of America’s most admired public servants, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state
A Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, “is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.”
The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright draws on her experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that assumption.
Fascism, as she shows, not only endured through the twentieth century but now presents a more virulent threat to peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse. The United States, which historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates division and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological, and cultural factors are weakening the political center and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s.
Fascism: A Warning is a book for our times that is relevant to all times. Written by someone who has not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past.

John H. Kriewall Obituary
In Memory of a Pillar of the Community
John H. Kriewall John H. Kriewall, 92 If anyone can be said to be “of” a community, John Kriewall was of Port Hope. He spent his life dedicated to his wife, his family, his customers and the people of his community.
They kept him busy. John Henry Kriewall, 92, of Port Hope, died peacefully Sept. 4 in Harbor Beach Community Hospital’s long-term care unit. As always, he was among family and friends. Helping out, in his mind, was just something you do if you’re privileged to have the opportunity. He poured coffee at community events, made often-difficult decisions as a trustee here and board member there, created memorable entries for the 4th of July parade, sold 50/50 raffle tickets, and left at all hours responding to fire calls.
He said not long ago, as his health was declining, “Man, it’s a lot easier helping out than it is asking for help.”
John Kriewall was born Sept. 15, 1925, at the family farm outside Port Hope. He married Marla Winkel Nov. 22, 1952. They have five children: Garth (Diane) Kriewall of Port Huron; Rodney (Kathy) Kriewall of San Jose, CA; Beth (Gene) King of Bancroft, MI; Martin (Darla) Kriewall of New Richmond, WI; and Dinah (Wayne) Watson of Doraville, GA. They have six grandchildren: Rayna (Josh) Wierenga and Faith (Wes) Carlson of San Luis Obispo, CA; Heather (Jordan) Adams of Kill Devil Hills, NC; John Walter Kriewall of Tampa, FL; Will Kriewall of East Lansing; and David Franklin of Woodbury, MN. They also have four great-children.
John lived his life on the family farm in Gore Township. It was designated a centennial farm in 2014. John worked outside the farm at the Port Hope elevator. He spent most of his career as a business owner servicing Harvestore sealed storage silos. Upon his retirement, he drove school bus for Port Hope Community Schools. His civic activities included the Port Hope Fire Department, Port Hope Community Schools Board of Education, Gore Township board, East Huron Ambulance Service board, Sanilac Intermediate School District board, Huron County Fire Association board, and St. John Lutheran Church.
