Adolf Mahr
Adolf Mahr (1887 – 1951) was an Austrian archaeologist and director of the National Museum of Ireland, known for his contributions to Irish culture and heritage, despite his controversial affiliation with the Nazi Party. Mahr's dual identity as a dedicated archaeologist and a member of a repressive regime has led to a complex legacy, as he sought to promote Ireland's ancient treasures while also being the self-proclaimed 'Dublin Nazi No. 1'. His relationships, including an unlikely friendship with Jewish philanthropist Albert Maurice Bender, highlight the contradictions of his life and the broader social tensions of the time.
