Christian Dior’s Neo-Nazi Family
A video of Christian Dior’s Nazi loving niece has gone viral in France and on teh youtubes. Be forewarned: It’s a bit stomach turning to watch this swastika wearing witch.
There’s a bit of charming file footage of Christian Dior’s niece Françoise that has been going quietly viral in France. Françoise Dior, you see, is a self-described Nazi. In this 1963 interview for French television, she discusses the importance of defending the Aryan race, the difference between “hating” Jews and merely preferring not to have them around, and why Hitler is her hero.
I took the liberty of editing the interview down to a few key exchanges, and adding these subtitles. (If any Francophones would like to weigh in on the translation, please feel free to email me or drop in the comments.)
Christian Dior had been dead for five years by the time this interview was recorded, and designer Marc Bohan had taken over the creative direction of the house. Although Françoise Dior claims in the full interview to have been a Nazi “for a number of years,” it is not known how close Christian Dior was to his niece during his lifetime. She was 27 years his junior, and did not work for the fashion house he founded.
