Peter Staudenmaier?s Between Occultism and Nazism provides a detailed historical examination centered on the anthroposophist movement founded by Rudolf Steiner. Its surprising findings reveal a remarkable level of Nazi support for Waldorf schools, biodynamic farming, and other anthroposophist initiatives, even as Nazi officials attempted to suppress occult tendencies. The book also includes an analysis of anthroposophist involvement in the racial policies of Fascist Italy. Based on extensive archival research, this study offers rich material on controversial questions about the nature of esoteric spirituality and alternative cultural ideals and their political resonance. 410 0$aAries Book Series$v17. 606 $aNational socialism and occultism 606 $aFascism and culture$zItaly 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1922-1945 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational socialism and occultism. 615 0$aFascism and culture 676 $a299/.935094309043 700 $aStaudenmaier$b Peter$f1965-$0936759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453602703321 996 $aBetween occultism and Nazism$92109897 997 $aUNINA
