The systematic reinterpretation and trivialization of the Nazi past is at the core of far-right ideology. Anyone who wishes to portray authoritarian, nationalist, and ethno-nationalist politics once again as an alternative to liberal democracy cannot ignore Nazi history. Myths and deliberate misrepresentations about the causes of World War II are just as widespread as the trivialization of Nazi crimes. Such revisionist arguments are no longer a marginal phenomenon. Through social media, they reach an audience far beyond the far-right milieu.Translated with DeepL
