“…47 On the other hand, supporters of Fidesz cannot be released from responsibility either. We should not go as far as Daniel Goldhagen on the responsibility of ordinary Germans in the Holocaust, 48 or Sándor Máraiwho, in 1945, before emigrating from Horthy's Hungary, wrote in his diary 49 that the 'middle class was culpable for the depth to which Nazi doctrines took root in Hungary'to observe that many voters for the right-wing authoritarian populist parties, especially those who are educated, are aware of those parties' exclusionary, nationalistic, homophobic, autocratic ideas and aims, and they still support them. Among those are intellectuals and academics, including constitutional law scholars.…”

This article addresses the concept of ‘constitutional moment’ in contemporary Israel, where an illiberal constitutionalisation process is in progress, and in Hungary, where the illiberal constitutional system has been in place since 2010. After discussing the judicial overhaul of the current Israeli government and the widespread protest movement against it, the article raises the question of whether the moment to adopt a written constitution has arrived. In Hungary, where a semi-electoral autocratic constitutional regime has been entrenched, the question is what are the perspectives on a return to a liberal democratic constitution.

“…Blant historikere som har forsker på nazi-regimet i Tyskland finnes det en viss uenighet om i hvilken grad den nazistiske ideologien hadde fotfeste i de delene av folket som ikke aktivt var medlemmer av nazipartiet. Partiet hadde likevel i perioder relativ stor støtte blant ulike deler av befolkningen (Bajohr, 2010;O'Loughlin, Flint, & Anselin, 1994), og partiets antisemittiske ideer fantes også i bredere lag i det tyske samfunnet (Goldhagen, 1996;Evans, 2003Evans, , 2005. Men selv om dette er et sammensatt spørsmål, er det verdt å merke seg at elevene i stor grad velger å fjerne ansvaret for antisemittismen i Nazi-Tyskland fra vanlige tyskere.…”

Denne artikkelen undersøker hvordan norske ungdomsskoleelever forstår motivene til de som bidro til gjennomføringen av Holocaust. Denne studien er aktuell fordi LK20 fremhever kunnskap om Holocaust som et virkemiddel til å motarbeide fremtidig ekstremisme. Artikkelen baserer seg på intervjuer gjort med 41 elever i niendeklasse på fire ulike ungdomsskoler. Analysen baserer seg på teoretiske perspektiver på historisk empati og spesielt fokus rettes mot hvordan elevene i studien forholder seg de historiske aktørene. Studien viser at hovedmomentet i elevenes forståelse av Holocaust er Hitlers personlige antisemittisme, mens de i stor grad forklarer vanlige tyskeres bidrag til gjennomføringen som et resultat av frykt. Artikkelen argumenterer for at denne forståelsen synliggjør utfordringene ved den instrumentelle tilnærmingen til Holocaust som skisseres i LK20.

“…Stereotypes of women as warm or communal justify that they are in the default role to take care of children (Eagly, 1987;Jackman, 1994), stereotypes of senior citizens as warm but incompetent justify their exclusion from social life (Bugental & Hehman, 2007;, and stereotypes of black people as criminals elicit distancing behaviour (Johnson, Olivo, Gibson, Reed, & Ashburn-Nardo, 2009). In Nazi Germany, the societal stereotype of the greedy and devious Jew was well-known and facilitated the way to the Shoah (Goldhagen, 1996). Even though individuals might not necessarily hold theses stereotypes, they are aware of them (Devine, 1989) and this knowledge can lead to a permissibility of specific behaviors directed toward, or ways of interacting with, stereotyped groups.…”

Stereotypes have a legitimizing function. Results from Germany (N = 71) and New Zealand (N = 103) indicated that the perceived permissibility of acting toward groups with active or passive harm versus facilitation depends upon consensually shared stereotypes of the target group. Our findings were generally consistent with predictions derived from the BIAS Map in both nations, as the permissibility of specific behaviours was reliably associated with target group warmth-competence stereotype combinations. However, evaluations of warmth trumped evaluations of the competence of target groups in the extent to which they legitimized perceptions of active and passive harm directed toward them. Finally, the extent to which warmth-competence stereotypes legitimized perceptions of the acceptability of harm and facilitation was unsystematically related to individual differences in Social Dominance Orientation. People high in Social Dominance Orientation, but not Right-Wing Authoritarianism, viewed harmful behaviours as generally more permissible irrespective of specific target group stereotypes, and this pattern held cross-culturally.
