ABSTRACT
Despite the killing of over 6 million Jews in the Nazi death camps during World War II, there are still people throughout the world forging identities stemming from Nazi ideology. Recorded incidences of neo-Nazi attacks were increasing even before the rise of Donald Trump, and globally the popularity of neo-Nazi related groups was growing in a variety of forms in different nations. We might conclude with Primo Levi that every age has its own form of fascism. Historical parallels can be identified between the 1930s and the 1990s and beyond, however, this retrospective approach is myopic. Neo-Nazi belief is not limited to one nation or culture. The world and the media appear to be preoccupied over boundaries, with Donald Trump’s rhetoric pushing this even further. As Homi Bhabha puts it, ‘the boundary is that from which something begins its presencing’. 1 The building of a wall between America and Mexico has many interpretations, one being it is a form of mask for America in a futile attempt to cling onto its descending identity. Nazism and neo-Nazism are concerned with boundaries, with the media delineating many of these boundaries, even our moral boundaries.
