Anthroposophy in the Time of Nazi Germany
Waldorf schools and modern day Anthroposophists will like to point out that they too were oppressed under the Nazis. The Waldorf answers site I referenced earlier has a page titled, Anthroposophy in the Time of Nazi Germany. Hitler's own distaining remarks regarding Rudolph Steiner and the Anthroposophical society appeared as early as 1921. By the spring of 1933, articles criticizing the movement began appearing more frequently in national socialist newspapers. In 1934, the German Anthroposophic Society sent Hitler an official letter pointing out Anthroposphies' association with national socialism.
