Nazi Categorization?

[edit]

Should Elly Ney be categorized as a Nazi if someone verifies that she was a "devoted Nazi?" Temporaluser (talk) 01:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the fact that she played a piece by a Jewish composer 40 years before the rise of the Nazi party mean she was in fact not a notorious sympathizer and member of the party who played at many large party functions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.175.19 (talk) 19:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you were a member of the Nazi Party, doesn't it say something about your attitude to Nazism? I happen to have heard her play, twice, in Germany in 1960. Both audiences, widely separated geographically, greeted her enthusiastically and warmly, and there is no doubt that until her technique began to fail she played masterfully and with insight. Despite the fact that by then she was banned in Bonn and in some other places, she was clearly enormously popular - a sort of unofficial national treasure with the older generation. At neither concert did I see many of my own generation. I seem to recall reading that her portrait in Tutzing was finally taken down by the local authority quite recently, as a public gesture.Delahays (talk) 23:45, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just new there's a Die Zeit article online reporting a 1965 appearance by Elly Ney in Bad Godesberg to commemorate the anniversary of Beethoven's death - which nearby Bonn marked, as usual then, without an appearance by her. But it does relate that nevertheless she DID play in Bonn, though privately, for then Bundeskanzler Ludwig Ehrhard.Delahays (talk) 12:19, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
