History, Not Myths – Historical distortion in the age of social media
Short Presentation and Discussion
Speaker: Jakob Schergaut (University of Jena, Germany)
Historical revisionism – the politically motivated distortion of history, especially the Nazi era – has moved from far-right fringe publications to social media, where distortions now reach millions. Jakob Schergaut presents the project “Geschichte statt Mythen” (History, Not Myths), explains common narratives, codes and strategies – and examines what policymakers, academics and civil society can do in response.
Dieser Vortrag findet im Rahmen des "Historday" der Stiftung EVZ statt und wird auf Englisch gehalten.
