Denazification was an Allied initiative to rid German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology following the Second World War. It was carried out by removing those who had been Nazi Party or SS members from positions of power and influence, by disbanding or rendering impotent the organizations associated with Nazism, and by trying prominent Nazis for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials of 1946. The program of denazification was launched after the end of the war and was solidified by the Potsdam Agreement in August 1945. The term denazification was first coined as a legal term in 1943 by the Pentagon, intended to be applied in a narrow sense with reference to the post-war German legal system. However, it later took on a broader meaning.

Highlighting this point is the story of Casey's grandmother, Maria Anne Hirschmann, who was a member of the Hitler Youth. Casey said "Grandma Hansi" initially viewed Adolf Hitler as a visionary and savior for the German people. But after being captured and imprisoned in a Russian concentration camp, Hirschmann escaped, only to be rescued by American soldiers, an enemy she was raised to hate and fear. Hirschmann's positive interactions with the Americans changed her perspective, making her realize that she was brainwashed and disillusioned because she hadn't interacted with anyone else. She had relied on others to shape her thoughts and opinions. Since those days, Hirschmann has been an advocate for diversity and inclusion. This life lesson continues to be advanced by her granddaughter, Casey.
