Hitler's priestess

Viac o knihe

A biography of Savitri Devi (1905-1982), the unusual woman who believed Hitler was an avatar and attempted to combine Hinduism and anti-Semitism. The author discusses Devi's denial of the Holocaust, her appeal to neo-Nazis, and the relationship of her beliefs to animal rights, social Darwinism, and even Deep Ecology. The focus of the book is on how someone with so little tangible connection to Nazi Germany became such a powerful advocate of Hitler's misanthropy.
