What does “neo-Nazi” mean?
neo-Nazi
Oh, this is an important one to know —
"Neo" means "new," and "Nazi" refers to the extreme political group that Adolf Hitler led in Germany in the 1930s and 40s — a group known for terrible violence and hatred, especially toward Jewish people.
So a "neo-Nazi" is someone today who still believes in those same hateful ideas. They didn't live in that time, but they choose to follow and support that old ideology now.
You might hear it in the news — like "police arrested a neo-Nazi group planning an attack" — or in history discussions, like "neo-Nazi movements have been growing in some countries."
It's always used in a very negative way. Calling someone a neo-Nazi means they hold some of the most extreme and dangerous beliefs a person can hold.
