Listen "#5 Hitler's surrogate family or the Wagner phenomenon - part one Gobineau and the Origins of European Racism"
Episode Synopsis
Today we will focus specifically on the so-called Bayreuth circle and the Wagner family around the composer Richard Wagner. It is a study of the soil from which the seeds of National Socialism, as Hitler himself called this movement in its early stages, could have grown.
The Bayreuth Circle or Wagner Circle may have played a more important role in the ethnic nationalist movement than one might think.
We are talking also about Darwinism and Gobinism and its influence on Nazism.
