From Wikipedia: "Therese Elisabeth Alexandra Forster-Nietzsche (July 10, 1846 November 8, 1935), who went by her second name, was the sister of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the creator of the Nietzsche Archive in 1894. Forster-Nietzsche was two years younger than her brother. Both were children of a Lutheran pastor in the German village of Rocken bei Lutzen. The two children were close during their childhood and early adult years. However, the siblings grew apart in 1885 when Elisabeth married Bernhard Forster, a former high school teacher who had become a fanatic anti-Semitic agitator Friedrich Nietzsche abhorred anti-Semitism. Forster planned to create a "pure" Aryan settlement in the New World, and had found a site in Paraguay which he thought would be suitable. The couple persuaded 14 German families to join them in the colony, to be called Nueva Germania, and the group left Germany for South America on February 15, 1887. The colony did not thrive. The land was not suitable for German methods of farming, illness ran rampant, and transportation to the colony was slow and difficult. Faced with mounting debts, Forster committed suicide by poisoning himself on June 3, 1889. Four years later his widow left the colony forever and returned to Germany. The colony still exists as part of San Pedro. Friedrich Nietzsche's mental collapse occurred in 1889 (he died in 1900), and upon Elisabeth's return in 1893 she found him an invalid whose published writings were beginning to be read and discussed throughout Europe. Forster-Nietzsche took a leading role in promoting her brother, especially through the publication of a collection of Nietzsche's fragments under the name of The Will to Power. In 1930, Forster-Nietzsche, a German nationalist and anti-semite, became a supporter of the Nazi Party. After Hitler came to power in 1933, the Nietzsche Archive received financial support and publicity from the government, in return for which Forster-Nietzsche bestowed her brother's considerable prestige on the régime. Forster-Nietzsche's funeral in 1935 was attended by Hitler and several high-ranking Nazi officials"
