In the novel "The Walk of the Rings", along with the story of the landing of the ship "Wilhelm Gustloff" torpedoed in the National Socialist period in 1945, the family story of three generations of the Pokriefke family is also included.While known for its tendency to technology, today, the “Generation Z” uses the internet and smartphones more effectively as means of communication. In this case, both digital generations are also regarded as technology guests who use communication technologies well. The two thousand years of digital-based technological developments that began to change life can be seen as a turning point in this context. In the event line of the novel goes to the 1995s, the story of the young Konrad's intersection of the roads with Internet-footed anti-Semitism as a means of digital communication. In the novel, the failed journalistic career of self-telling Paul, ironically, creates a paradox with the fact that his son, Konrad, a talented computer user, regularly visits the page www.blutzeuge.de by the Neo-Nazi. Contrary to the failure of Father Paul, Konrad will succeed in obtaining the information he needs by acquiring a computer with the help of his grandmother Tulla. However, Konrad, who gets the information he wants, signs successful research through the internet, while on the other hand is involved in the murder of a young man he met through the internet. This event can be said in a message that the ideological propaganda works of the National Socialist period were continued through Neonazism. In this study, the cuts that Konrad, a third-generation family member, uses the digital environment to repeat the errors of the previous generations, will be attempted to be resolved with examples and quotes by using a text-oriented approach.

In the novel “Crab Walk”, the story of the sinking of the ship “Wilhelm Gustloff”, which was torpedoed in the National Socialist period in 1945, and the family story of three generations of members of the Pokriefke family is mentioned. While “Generation Y” is known for their penchant for technology, “Generation Z” now uses the Internet and smartphones more effectively as a means of communication. Both digital generations are considered technology experts who use communication technologies well. The 2000s, when digital-based technological developments began to change life, can be considered as a turning point in this context. In the plot of the novel, when it comes to 1995, the story of young Konrad's crossing of paths with internet-fed antisemitism as a result of using the computer as a digital communication tool is also told. In the novel, the self-narrator Paul's failed journalistic career is ironically containing paradoxes by the fact that his son Konrad, a gifted computer user, regularly visits the Nazis' www.blutzeuge.de. Contrary to the failure of Father Paul, Konrad will be successful in obtaining the information he needs by acquiring a computer with the help of Grandma Tulla. However, getting the information he wanted, Konrad is involved in the act of killing a young man he met on the internet, while conducting successful research on the internet. With this incident, it can be said that a reference is made to the fact that the ideological propaganda works of the National Socialist period continued to be carried out through Neo-Nazism. In this study, the sections in which Konrad, a third generation family member, repeated the mistakes of previous generations by using the digital environment, will be analyzed with a text-oriented approach and will be shown with examples and quotations.
