Description
Explores how the Nazi past has been taught in South Africa from the 1950s to the 2010s, problematizing the linkage between Nazism and apartheid and showing that connections considered obvious today were for several decades not seen as such. Many apartheid-era textbooks use the language of “race” to explain Nazi actions, while post-apartheid textbooks often associate the Holocaust and apartheid in simplistic and unquestioning ways
