"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

It starts with hate.

"Arbeit macht frei" - work makes one free, was a cynical welcome at Auschwitz I. SS guards often told prisoners of #Auschwitz that the only way out from the camp was through the chimney of the crematorium.

A black and white photograph of the infamous "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign at the entrance gate of a concentration camp. The sign, with its iron lettering, is partially obscured by a worn and chipped wooden barrier bearing a "Halt" warning sign. In the background, bare tree branches stretch against a cloudy, overcast sky, evoking a somber and reflective mood.
