How does a nation come to believe the unbelievable? When inflation wiped out savings and unrest filled the streets, lies became easy answers. This session looks at how false narratives such as the “stab-in-the-back” myth, economic scapegoating, and antisemitic conspiracy turned neighbor against neighbor. Participants explore propaganda’s early roots and how collective pain became political fuel for hate.
