Diana Mosley (née Mitford) was a British aristocrat best known for her controversial political views and associations with fascist and Nazi figures. Born into the prominent Mitford family, she became one of the most notorious members due to her far-right ideology. She was initially married to Bryan Guinness, heir to the barony of Moyne, and both were part of the Bright Young Things, a social group of young Bohemian socialites in 1920s London. Her marriage ended in divorce as she was pursuing a relationship with Oswald Mosley (leader of the British Union of Fascists). In 1936, she married Mosley at the home of the propaganda minister for Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels, with Adolf Hitler as guest of honor. Diana was a fervent admirer of Adolf Hitler, whom she met several times and regarded with great affection—she even honeymooned in Nazi Germany and maintained correspondence with Hitler. Her views included openly racist and anti-Semitic sentiments, and she was a Holocaust denier who downplayed or dismissed the atrocities committed by the Nazis. During World War II, she and her husband were interned by the British government as threats to national security. Despite her privileged background and social status, Diana Mosley remained unapologetic about her extremist beliefs until her death in 2003, making her one of the most unsettling figures of British fascism. She joins her two sisters, Unity and Nancy, at the gravesite of Diana Mosley at St. Mary's Churchyard in Swinbrook, UK.

Offensive Quotes by Diana Mosley

“Up to a point. I am not fond of Jews.”
She declared this when asked whether she approved of Nazi policies towards Jews.

“Maybe instead they [European Jews] could have gone somewhere like Uganda: very empty and a lovely climate.”
A dismissive and deeply insensitive remark suggesting Jews should relocate rather than face persecution.

“I didn’t love Hitler any more than I did Winston [Churchill]. I can’t regret it, it was so interesting.”
Minimizes the atrocities of the Nazi leader by framing admiration as a matter of personal intrigue.

“He was obviously an interesting figure… No torture on Earth would get me to say anything different.”
Even after being interned, she maintained her fascination with Hitler and refused to retract it.

“I don’t really, I’m afraid… believe that six million people were [killed in the Holocaust]… I just think it’s not conceivable, it’s too many.”
A statement of Holocaust denial, undermining historical truth.

“Whether it’s six million or one really makes no difference morally, it’s equally wrong.”
Attempts to sidestep the scale of the Holocaust by framing the moral wrong as unchanged—effectively trivializing systematic genocide

Florence Bernardin Rees

date_of_death: February 7, 1862

age: 2

cause_of_death: Scarlet Fever

claim_to_fame: The Odd and the Interesting

best_know_for: In 1862 two-year-old Bernardine died from Scarlet Fever and her grave is often found adorned with trinkets, toys, rings, flowers, and stones. But what makes Bernardine's final resting place such a tourist draw is that it is guarded by a black iron dog. How did it get there? Before the Civil War, the Richmond dog stood at a storefront of photographer Charles R. Rees (whose name is on the cemetery plot). Children loved the dog and his young niece was no exception. When his niece contracted Scarlet Fever and passed away (that area of the cemetery is loaded with plots of young children who passed in similar fashion) Charles had the statue moved to her grave as a tribute. Today the Iron Dog (aka the Black Dog) is one of the most visited gravesites in Hollywood Cemetery.
