National Socialism. An index for reflection. From A to Z

Today we live in a time of the chic right. Terms of National Socialism that have supposedly been "disposed of" forever are making their way into the media in a different form. It is no longer "the Jew" who is the perpetrator, but immigrants, the "others", advocates of Europe, liberals and the enlightened. Has National Socialism become obsolete as a common metaphor for evil? Or do we need to sharpen our memory in scientific studies, literature and art in a variety of everyday contexts? Language, designation, symbolization - what magical compensation: evil seems to be fixed! But language keeps slipping away from us, designations and symbols are ambiguous. That is why we have to keep reminding ourselves of the unimaginable and irreversible nature of the events entitled "National Socialism". Perhaps this small "Register for reflection. From A to Z" about National Socialism.
