Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mainly mentions Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche in connection with her brother's posthumous reputation. He recalls that she is blamed for a fascist-leaning falsification of Nietzsche's writings1, then qualifies this point by drawing on Losurdo: if she did alter the texts, it was rather to tone down an antisemitism that was too explicit, so that she was less fascist than her brother23. He also mentions that she took part, with her husband, in an Aryan colony in South America4. She also appears as the recipient of letters in the relationship between Nietzsche and Wagner: Nietzsche tells her how moved he was by Parsifal5, and Wagner asks her to tell her brother that he has been alone since they parted6. He comes back to this letter several times. Finally, he notes her hostility towards Lou Salomé, whom she called "the Russian"7.
