Heidegger was not only a Nazi, but also spawned a cottage industry around attempts to interpret the complete nonsense he wrote (much like Wittgenstein). Quite what people see in figures like these I'll never know...
For example: “...Dasein itself--and this means also its Being-in-the-world--gets its ontological understanding of itself in the first instance from those entities which it itself is not but which it encounters 'within' its world, and from the Being which they possess.” ― Martin Heidegger, Being and Time
