EDUCATION AND NAZISM: REPRESENTATIONS AND PRACTICES IN THE BRAZILIAN SOCIETY

Abstract

This work analyzes the Nazi education and its influence in the formation of the intellectual and moral character these days. In view of the proportions that Adolf Hitler took during the period of World War II, we try to understand the facts that occurred previously that justify the practices of the totalitarian system exercised in the 21st century. One phenomenon, assumed to be responsible for thousands of murders in the world, was investigated: neo-Nazism. The social, mythological, historical and political dimensions of these practices, prioritizing a discussion about the trivialization of evil. The methodology used was based on compiled bibliographical research. The authors were: Ziemer (1943), Hannoun (1997), Chauí (2001), Mondadore (1975), Bleuel (1973), Bartoletti (2006), Brandt (2011), Koch Almeida (2004) and among others. From this research it is notable that the people followed and trusted Hitler and the doctrine he built; believed that he was in fact clothed with a divine power that made him capable of leading the nation in order to end all the sufferings that he now experienced, finally reaching the long-desired glory and this mystification continues from 1943 until the present day.
