therese elisabeth alexandra förster-nietzsche -lrb- july 10 , 1846 -- november 8 , 1935 -rrb- , who went by her second name , was the sister of philosopher friedrich nietzsche and the creator of the nietzsche archive in 1894 .
förster-nietzsche was two years younger than her brother .
their father was a lutheran pastor in the german village of röcken bei lützen .
the two children were close during their childhood and early adult years .
however , they grew apart in 1885 when elisabeth married bernhard förster , a former high school teacher who had become a prominent german nationalist and antisemite -- friedrich nietzsche despised antisemitism .
as his caretaker , förster-nietzsche assumed the roles of curator and editor of nietzsche 's manuscripts .
she reworked his unpublished writings to fit her own ideology , often in ways contrary to her brother 's stated opinions , which were strongly and explicitly opposed to antisemitism and nationalism .
through förster-nietzsche 's editions , nietzsche 's name became associated with german militarism and nazism , although later 20th-century scholars have counteracted this conception of his ideas .
