Kurzfassung:
Discusses Wagner's "Weltanschauung" and its influence on Hitler. Argues that Hitler sought in Wagner a recognition of his own virtual, not yet realized, political-cultural views. Cites Paul Lawrence Rose, who saw in Wagner not a common antisemite but one who transformed antisemitism into a central topic of the program of national reform. Wagner saw the Jew as a new secularized symbol of absolute evil, which replaced the old Christian perception of the Jew as the murderer of Christ. The modern Jew was the murderer of all of humanity, as well as the personification of avarice, egotism, and the desire to dominate others, e.g. Jewish capitalism or a Jewish world conspiracy. In "Judentum in der Musik" Wagner predicted the ruin of Judaism; in a later version he radicalized the ruin of Jewish culture into a vision of the annihilation of Jews and Judaism. Wagner's ideas contributed greatly to the outcome of Hitler's racial delusions.
