July 8 Meeting features Rick Steves’ ‘Story of Fascism in Europe’

The July 8 monthly meeting of the Sedgwick County Grassroots Democrats will feature a screening of “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” an informative and compelling look at the rise of Hitler’s Nazi party in Germany during the early 20th Century, which ultimately led to the Third Reich’s invasion of Europe and World War II.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m., July 8, 2024, at the Service Employees International Union building at 3340 W. Douglas Ave. in Wichita. The meeting and screening are free and open to the public. Ice Cream Sundaes will be available for $2 each while supplies last, beginning at 6 p.m. Additional donations are welcome.
“The Story of Fascism in Europe” was produced and presented by travel expert Rick Steves. In addition to his many best-selling travel guides, Steves is known for his popular PBS television show “Rick Steves Europe,” a weekly public radio show and a syndicated travel column. His look at the rise and fall of fascism is an hour-long presentation initially presented as a special for “Rick Steves Europe” in 2018. The July 8 screening is by agreement between SCGD and ricksteves.com.
“Steves’ telling of ‘The Story of Fascism in Europe’ is comprehensive, well-researched and expertly presented,” said SCGD President Gary Starrett. “It is very timely given the current political climate in this country and the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential powers, and an important reminder of what’s at stake in the upcoming elections.”
