Nazismo : a evolução histórica e a queda nas páginas do jornal “O Estado de Mato Grosso” (1945)

Abstract

This article initially seeks, from bibliographical research, to promote a brief analysis of the emergence of the Nazi movement, its political and ideological aspects and its rise and fall process. Then, focusing on the final moments of Nazism and, consequently, of the war period, the analysis turns to the pages of the newspaper “O Estado de Mato Grosso”, especially for the editions that run from the period between April 29 and May 7, 1945. With this, the objective is, in addition to better understanding and making known the historical characteristics of Nazism, to debate how news about it, especially its fall, reached the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The differences in information, the time it took for the news to arrive, the sources they came from and we can even say the manipulations made in the media, which could use the war to promote itself in local and national politics, are aspects discussed in this research , aiming then to understand this historical moment and the impressions left by it, especially in sectors of the Mato Grosso press at the time.
