Twilight of the Wagners: The Unveiling of a Family's Legacy

1999 • 310 pages

In Twilight of the Wagners, Gottfried Wagner chronicles his family's connection with National Socialism, from his great-grandfather's anti-Semitic pamphlets to his father's, uncle's and grandparent's close relationship with Adolf Hitler. Gottfried's discovery of his family's controversial past has led him on an impassioned crusade as an adult to examine the hatred and racism he knew growing up in Bayreuth-- where the family's annual festivals in honor Richard Wagner's operas are major cultural events.
