More than a century later, Ben Macintyre tracked down the survivors of Nueva Germania to discover the remains of this bizarre colony, and found a strange, tight-lipped people, still interbreeding to the point of genetic deterioration.Digging into recently opened German archives, Macintyre unfolds how Elisabeth, who returned to Germany in 1893, grafted her anti-Semitic, nationalist ideas onto her brothers philosophy, building a mythic cult around him, and how she later became a mentor to Hitler-her stately funeral in 1935 attended by a tearful Fhrer. Laced with mordant irony, Macintyres brilliant piece of investigative journalism explores how the Nazis perverted Friedrich Nietzsches ideas to justify their evil deeds, and unearths a rich and disturbing vein of the twentieth centurys dark history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736016650528,"sku":"NEW0307886441","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91uzD-XimQL.jpg?v=1779502739","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/forgotten-fatherland-the-true-story-of-nietzsches-sister-and-her-lost-aryan-colony-0307886441","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
