On the next few episodes of History of the 90s we are looking back at the doomsday cults and their rise to infamy in the years leading up to the new millennium.\nDuring the 1990\u2019s the world began to seem more dangerous with war, environmental destruction and social breakdown becoming part of the everyday fabric of society.\xa0As a way of coping some people turned to new religions and cults for guidance and support.\xa0In some cases that decision ended with deadly consequences.\xa0\nOn part one we uncover the little-known story of the Order of the Solar Temple.\xa0The religious sect had branches in Canada, Switzerland and France and its members included politicians, journalists, executives and police officers.\xa0We\u2019ll\xa0look at how members hoping to start a new life instead found horrific and tragic ends.\nContact:\xa0\nTwitter: @1990shistory\nFacebook: @1990shistory\nInstagram: @that90spodcast\nEmail:\xa090s@curiouscast.ca\nGuest:\nMichael Kropveld, Executive Director of Info-Cult\nhttps://www.infosecte.org/\nFor exclusive bonus content subscribe to History of the 90s Patreon page.: https://patreon.com/historyofthe90s\nLearn more about your ad choices.
