Page "Human, All Too Human" Paragraph 21

Most notoriously, Human, All Too Human was used by archivist Max Oehler, a strong supporter of Hitler, as supposed evidence of Nietzsche ’ s support for nationalism and anti-Semitism, both of which he writes against.

Oehler wrote an entire book, Friedrich Nietzsche und die Deutsche Zukunft, dealing with Nietzsche and his connection to nationalism ( specifically National Socialism ) and anti-Semitism, using quotes from Human, All Too Human, though out of context.

Nietzsche would speak against anti-Semitism in other works including Thus Spoke Zarathustra and, most strongly, in The Antichrist: “ An anti-Semite is certainly not any more decent because he lies as a matter of principle.

" In Zarathustra, Nietzsche set up Wagner as a straw man, lampooning his anti-Semitism in the process.
