Hitler's Priestess: Savitri Devi, the Hindu-Aryan Myth, and Neo-Nazism Hardcover - 1998
by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke
A Frenchwoman of Greek-English birth, Savitri Devi subscribed to German Socialism in the late 1920s. Drawn to the caste-system of India, Devi developed her racial ideology in the early '30s and since has been lionized as "foremother" of international neo-Nazism. HITLER'S PRIESTESS examines how this woman became such a powerful advocate of Hitler's misanthropy. Illustrated.
From the rear cover
Savitri Devi's influence on neo-Nazism and other hybrid strains of mystical fascism has been continuous since the mid-1960s. Her works have been reissued and distributed through various neo-Nazi networks and she has been lionized as a foremother of Nazi ideology. As one of the earliest Holocaust deniers and the first to suggest that Adolf Hitler was an avatar - a god come to earth in human form to restore the world to a golden age - Devi became a fixture in the shadowy neo-Nazi world. In Hitler's Priestess, Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke examines how someone with so little tangible connection to Nazi Germany became such a powerful advocate of Hitler's misanthropy.
