The Myth of the Twentieth Century

"The Myth of the Twentieth Century" by Alfred Rosenberg is a manifesto that promotes a racial and ideological worldview, emphasizing the supposed supremacy of the Aryan race and advocating for racial purity and nationalism. Rosenberg criticizes modern Western civilization's materialism and argues for a spiritual renewal rooted in racial identity. The book reflects Nazi ideology, combining racist beliefs with a vision of cultural and spiritual revival. Its ideas have had destructive consequences, as they underpin discriminatory policies and atrocities during the Nazi era. The work is a foundational text for understanding Nazi racial doctrines and their influence on 20th-century history.
