]]> February 16, 2021: Webinar: Rebels with Aryan Cause: Neo Nazi in American Films https://www.gratz.edu/event/gratzhome-webinar-rebels-aryan-cause?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=webinar-rebels-with-aryan-cause-neo-nazi-in-american-films Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:41:05 +0000 /jewishstudies/?p=5832 Ever since the end of World War Two, the specter of a Nazi resurgence has haunted the cinematic imagination. Tainted by the horrific legacy of the Third Reich, neo-Nazis were traditionally portrayed as mad scientists, political extremists, and sadistic villains who could be easily thwarted by American democracy. Given the resurgence of neo-Nazism starting in the 1980s as a backlash to civil rights progress, immigration from non-European countries, and the unemployment attributed to globalization, movies have increasingly depicted neo-Nazis as characters confronting real social problems, even though the violent solutions they offer to solve them only trigger more violence.
