We are exploring „Mein Kampf” to find out to what extent the ideas and proposals committed to paper more than ninety years ago remain relevant today. Examining Hitler’s language and narrative, we ask ourselves questions about the language used today, including hate speech. We ask how many words had to be said before the Holocaust happened, and how many more words will have to be said for history to repeat itself.
Why ‒ after the experience of the Second World War ‒ have fascism and national socialism resurfaced as attractive ideologies, with nationalist banners and slogans rapidly replacing pride in a multicultural, diverse, united Europe? We look to Hitler’s book for answers to these questions at a time when populist politicians tend to combine nationalist slogans with socialist proposals.
