No Wagner, No Holocaust (Carrara Marble - 23" x 17" x 16" - 2010) You have travelled back in a Space/Time machine to witness Johanna Wagner's abortion in 1812. If Richard Wagner had not been born, there would have been no Holocaust. Wagner was the most famous anti-Semite of the 19th Century and the most direct influence on Adolph Hitler, who wrote, "With the exception of Richard Wagner, I have no forerunner."  In 1939 Hitler told Winifred Wagner (Richard's daughter-in-law) that his Nazi philosophy originated with his first attendance at Wagner's opera "Rienzi" in 1905.
