“In 1944, my father was arrested in Berlin for the double crime of being half-Jewish and a Hitler opponent. He was imprisoned and enslaved in the infamous Buchenwald camp, where he barely survived the Nazis’ brutal program of ‘extermination through labor,’ and had been scheduled for involuntary sterilization. … I have dedicated my life to defending free speech because history demonstrates that it is the most essential engine for securing human rights. But if CBS’s ‘Face the Nation’ host Margaret Brennan had been correct, when she claimed last week that ‘free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide’ in Germany, that would be a powerful argument for censorship. Sadly, she was wrong. In fairness to Brennan, she was repeating an all too common assumption: that the Nazis rose to power during Germany’s Weimar Republic because of its tolerance of their hateful rhetoric.” (02/24/25)
