"Bernhard Forster declared that German culture and virtues were under threat and that the Jews were to blame. He dreamed of a new 'Jew-free' Germania that would flourish under his leadership."
"Forster traveled through Paraguay on horseback, searching for a place to realize his utopia. He proclaimed, 'I will transplant German culture into new and promising soil.'"
"Elisabeth Nietzsche affirmed her husband's vision, stating, 'We will breed an Aryan master race in the forests of South America. The Germany of old is corrupt, but the new Germania will last forever.'"
"The Paraguayan government made 20,000 hectares of land available for the first independent colony, Nueva Germania, which was exclusively for Germans."
In the late 19th century, Bernhard Forster, a German schoolteacher and fervent antisemite, sought to create a 'Jew-free' utopia in Paraguay. He faced multiple trials for racist incitement and disciplinary actions at his school. Forster, along with his wife Elisabeth Nietzsche, aimed to establish an Aryan colony in South America, believing it would rejuvenate German culture. The Paraguayan government allocated land for this colony, Nueva Germania, which was exclusively for German settlers. Their vision was to breed a master race, reflecting their extreme ideological beliefs.
