In this seminar we are going to tackle the question of how some key events of National Socialism and some key concepts of global Antisemitism have been discussed since 1945 until today. All of them are now, at least in public discourse and public history, heavily entwined with conspiracy theories. Why is this so? And what is the meaning of these conspiracy theories for today’s notion of the history of National Socialism? Are these conspiracy theories still being used to legitimate political, cultural or racial aims in the 21th century? Through this topic, this seminar will deal with the general question “What can we actually learn from history?”.
