Right-wing populism has mobilized a large following across Europe in recent decades. Intergenerational affective legacies from the Nazi era are being revived in new forms and collectively staged. The contributions in this book explore these historical sources of extremist violence in the present. It also focuses on how feelings of persecution are transformed through propaganda and internal motivations into collective acts of destruction and pogroms. The book provides social psychological clarifications in the fields of politics and psychology that affect us all and challenge our democratic stance. It illustrates how perpetrators come together with various population groups and institutions to form violent collectives, emphasizing the psychological and socio-psychological processes involved.
