On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.

Thank you @jacobsfoundation.bsky.social for contributing to the piece. The philanthropy sector is facing real challenges in the light of the seismic changes in international aid. There are opportunities to shine, to show leadership....or to fail.
