Richard Steigmann-Gall

Richard Steigmann-Gall (born October 3, 1965) is an Associate Professor of History at Kent State University, and the former Director of the Jewish Studies Program from 2004 to 2010.

[1] On September 30, 2009, Steigmann-Gall was featured on the History Channel in a sensationalist documentary discussing Hitler's religious views.

He published a scholarly article named "Star-Spangled Fascism"[4] in the journal Social History that explores the traditions of American historical writing and the ways in which the American far right in the period between World War I and II can be called fascist in spite of these traditions.

[8] In 2003, Steigmann-Gall published The Holy Reich through Cambridge University Press, which explored Nazi conceptions of Christianity.

The Holy Reich argues that the Nazi Party was not anti-Christian as popularly understood, nor was it in any sense a paganist movement.
