This episode is the recording of an exclusive interview conducted by us from NEPAT - The Brazilian Center for Nazism and Holocaust Studies with historian Johann Chapoutot in 2022.

Chapoutot is a great reference for us at NEPAT, so we made the most of the opportunity to talk with him. We have prepared a very special interview for you! In the interview, you'll hear Chapoutot talk about the Nazis' attempt to rewrite the past and create a Nazified future, the insidious logic behind Nazi discourse, the impact that Nazi ideology left on the present, and much more!

All the conferences are available on our YouTube channel with automatic English subtitles. The conference is titled “Mind-reading Adolf Eichmann: Harry Muslich's Criminal Case 40/61 (1962)” and was given by Professor Erin McGlothlin (Washington University in St. Louis). Professor McGlothlin will examine the depiction of Holocaust perpetrators in works that feature the perpetrators' inner experience, deciphering their motivations and emotions, that is, reading their minds. Thus, perpetrators turn into morally complex and, above all, human subjects. Understanding them - far from exonerating their actions - is essential to understanding the Holocaust fully. By looking at such representations, McGlothlin will examine the cultural constructions of perpetrators, raising important historical and ethical questions. The first part of the episode is an explanation of the theme in Portuguese, and then, Professor McGlothlin gives her presentation in English. -
