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

best_know_for: Charles Blondin was a French tightrope walker and acrobat. During the winter of 1858, a 34-year-old French acrobat traveled to Niagara Falls hoping to become the first person to cross the “boiling cataract.” Noting the masses of ice and snow on either bank and the violent whirls of wind circling the gorge, Blondin delayed the grand event until he would have better weather. He always worked without a net, believing that preparing for disaster only made one more likely to occur. Known for his numerous crossings of the 1,100 ft (340 m) Niagara Gorge on a tightrope, he added a touch of showmanship - once stopping midway to cook an omelette and once carrying his manager on his back. Believe it or not, he died in bed at the ripe age of 72.
