Desnazificando is the first and only podcast in Brazil that deals exclusively with the Nazi regime and the Holocaust
The podcast is an entirely feminine initiative podcast idealized and produced by the Brazilian Center for Nazism and Holocaust Studies (NEPAT) coordinators.
We talk about research, education, Nazism, the twentieth century, public history, and anything else on this podcast. Our goal is to discuss concepts, ideas, and events in a fun way but with depth and quality.

The Routledge Handbook to Auschwitz-Birkenau has just been released, featuring our contribution with the chapter “The Meaning of the Barbed Wire: Auschwitz’s Place and Holocaust Memory in Brazil”.
Our chapter is based on research conducted in Brazilian bookstores to analyse how books on Nazism are displayed and categorized — including differences in title translations — and what this may reveal about Holocaust memory in Brazil.

Está no ar o último episódio da nossa série especial sobre as Organizações do Terceiro Reich! No episódio #82, mergulhamos em um tema que costuma ser sistematicamente apagado ou romantizado: a atuação das organizações femininas e o papel das mulheres na engrenagem nazista.
Afinal, como um regime abertamente misógino conseguiu mobilizar mais de 13 milhões de mulheres em suas instituições até 1939?
Neste episódio, desconstruímos o mito do "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" (crianças, cozinha e igreja) para entender como o nazismo destruiu a vida privada, transformando o lar em uma extensão do Estado e a maternidade em uma "missão política" para a Volksgemeinschaft. Discutimos o funcionamento da NS-Frauenschaft (NSF) e do Deutsches Frauenwerk (DFW), além de programas como o Mutterdienst (Serviço das Mães) e a famosa Cruz de Honra da Mãe Alemã.
Também encaramos a face mais sombria dessa mobilização: as mulheres como perpetradoras. De enfermeiras facilitando o programa de "eutanásia" (Ação T-4) a secretárias da burocracia do extermínio e guardas (Aufseherinnen) em campos como Auschwitz e Ravensbrück, elas foram peças fundamentais na máquina de destruição.
Analisar essas instituições é um passo essencial para a complexificação do fenômeno nazista e para compreender os diversos graus de responsabilidade que operavam para além do círculo masculino de Hitler.

NEPAT is driven by one core idea: knowledge is resistance. 🖤📚
Founded in 2019, we are an independent, female-led initiative dedicated to Nazism and Holocaust studies. Our goal is to bring high-level research beyond the "ivory towers" of the university, occupying digital spaces with rigorous and accessible content.
In this video, we present our primary areas of activity:
🔹 National and international academic production.
🔹 Scientific outreach and Public History.
