A solid analysis by Leo Lucassen on the genealogy of the so-called "Replacement Theory" that is becoming increasingly popular among white-nationalist European politicians. This conspiracy theory revolves around imagining a non-existent genocide for propaganda purposes.

Artı Gerçek’te faşizm hakkında yazı dizisine başladım. İlk yazıda, 3 Temmuz 1979’da, Bursa’da faşistlerin katlettiği babam Mehmet Cengiz Göral’ın hikayesini kaleme aldım. Umarım, bu kolektif hikayeyi, biraz olsun anlatabilmişimdir. Buradayım baba, her zaman yan yanayız. Daima.
