Bernhard Förster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard Förster was a 19th century German teacher who became an anti-Semitist. This is evident, for example, in his writings on the Jewish question where he characterizes Jews as a "parasite on the German body" [1]
He was married to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, the sister of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. After the failure of his Paraguayan colony "Nueva Germania", he eventually committed suicide by poisoning himself with a combination of morphine and strychnine in his room at the Hotel del Lago in San Bernardino, Paraguay on June 3, 1889.
