I think we learn from our mistakes , but only for a short time. And then we repeat them again. Seems to take about 70 years or roughly the time period for most of the population to be replaced with people who never saw the reality of that history.
The whole world was moving towards fascism when Hitler came. That's why he was able to run with it.
If not him, someone else. If not Germany. Somewhere else. Fascism is inevitable when we don't teach history properly.
Unfortunately the decision makers / lawmakers are a slimy bunch that are good at propaganda.
