🕰️ What if the past could be rewritten to justify the violence of today? From Nazi Germany’s “racial archaeology” to Russia’s selective memory of World War II, regimes have long turned history into propaganda, shaping identity, silencing dissent, and legitimising aggression. Join Chiara Torrisi, historical researcher, for our next EU DisinfoLab webinar: “Weaponising the past: Historical disinformation as a tool to legitimise aggressive politics.” She will reveal how old patterns of distortion, myths of purity, national pride, and moral superiority, resurface in modern disinformation campaigns, proving that the manipulation of memory remains one of the most powerful political tools of our time. 📅 When: 6 November | ⏰14:30-15:30 CEST 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/e-ZPtkBJ
