Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche

Affiliation with the Nazi party

In 1930, Förster-Nietzsche, a German nationalist and antisemite, became a supporter of the Nazi Party. After Hitler came to power in 1933, the Nietzsche Archive received financial support and publicity from the government, in return for which Förster-Nietzsche bestowed her brother's considerable prestige on the régime. Förster-Nietzsche's funeral in 1935 was attended by Hitler and several high-ranking Nazi officials.
