CLASS 14 - COUNTRIES GAME

During our fourteenth class, we have talked about extremist movements such as: the neo-nazis, the holocaust revisionists, which still exist today and defend radical and violent attitudes.

Durante nossa décima-quarta aula, nós falamos sobre movimentos extremistas tais como: os neo-nazistas, os revisionistas do holocausto, que ainda existem hoje e defendem atitudes radicais e violentas.

We started with a sentence by Thomas Jefferson, which has been used by neo-nazi groups, to justify their ideals in the US: he says two free races cannot live together.
