Bayreuth plans Nazi documentation centre

Bayreuth plans Nazi documentation centre

The town of Bayreuth is planning a Nazi documentation centre. It will be housed in the former mansion of the British antisemitic polemicist Houston Stewart Chamberlain, a significant influence on Richard Wagner and Adolf Hitler.

The planned centre is a municipal act of remembrance for which the town has allocated 11.5 million Euros. It has nothing to do with the Bayreuth Festival or its governing Wagner family, which avoid acts of self-reflection.

‘The Wahnfried House has always been anti-Semitic,’ says Sven Friedrich, director of the Wagner Museum Bayreuth and co-initiator of the NS Documentation Centre.
