Abstract: Discusses the significance of 3 works by Swiss psychoanalyst Alice Miller dealing with the innocence of children and examines the effect of Richard Wagner's epic operas on Hitler. Miller's works are concerned with the conflict between the child's nature and culture, narcissism in childhood, and the relation of the child to the family and the outside world. Hitler's underlying childhood conflicts and trauma are considered the cause of his obsessive fascination with the characters in Wagner's musical trilogy. (6 ref)

Note: psychoanalytic view of innocence of children & effects of R. Wagner's operas on A. Hitler; comments on works by A. Miller
