The National Socialist State represented itself by means of vast publicbuildings, executed in a stripped neoclassical style, thus linking the ThirdReich directly with Antiquity and a more recent German past (1750-1850). Hitler, who showed much interest in art and especially in architecture,wanted his Reich, which he came to see as a sort of myth, to look monumentaland timeless. The buildings would symbolize the power of the newregime. They were the scene and background of public life and were usedto mobilize the German masses into a solid nation. A new political culture,an ersatz religion, was created, and a cult to go with it. Polities, aesthetics,religion, ... all became one dramatic whole.

This article aims to sensitize our reader to the issue of forced migrations by Nazi violence that, from 1933 onwards, had consequences beyond Europe, including several countries in Latin America. Persecuted, frightened and humiliated by the national socialist state and collaborationist countries, the Jew had nowhere to go, as not all nations expressed the desire to adopt him as a citizen, as a human being bearing his own name and roots. Among those who chose Brazil as a refuge, temporary or permanent, we identified hundreds of artists, writers and scientists who turned their works into libels against intolerance. Through the artistic and literary production of this group, we intend to assess their perceptions of Europe destroyed by Nazi barbarism, interpret their traumas, their visions of “abysses” in the context of chaos and the meaning of life in the face of possible death
