The idea proposed in this article is developed on the basis of the conceptual analysis of the term "ideology" as used by Hannah Arendt in The Origins of Totalitarianism. The semantic context imposed by Arendt's use of this term is revisited considering the following objection proposed by Phillippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy: the term "ideology", as used by Arendt does not give account of one of the most important characteristics of the Nazi ideology: the myth. To accomplish this purpose, references to Roberto Esposito's term "political myth" are also included and applied to some parts of Heinrich Himmer's discourses. This leads in the final section of the article to the proposal, also in discussion with Arendt, of a small turn in the way that the relationship to the past in the Nazi ideology could be understood.

Palabras clave : Politic Myth; Nazism; Ideology; Political Philosophy; Himmler, Heinrich; Arendt, Hannah; Lacoue-Labarthe, Phillippe; Nancy, Jean-Luc; Esposito, Roberto.
