...violence has chilling resonance in West Germany, where small neo-Nazi groups have seized the race issue and made it their own. Turkish immigrants regularly receive threatening letters telling them to leave Germany or be hounded out. An outfit calling itself the Prince Eugen Battle Group (named for a brutal Austrian field marshal who led a major assault against the Turks in the late 17th century) has set its sights on Turkish teachers in West Berlin schools. "Can't you understand we [Germans] don't want anything to do with you," says one of their milder letters. "Pack...
...charges of racial incitement, theft, assault and breach of the peace. When West Germany played Turkey last November in a qualifying match for this year's European championships, police posted 6,000 men at West Berlin's Olympic stadium. Turkish shops were given special protection after neo-Nazi groups threatened that the Kreuzberg ghetto would "go up in flames" on the day of the game. The anti-immigrant atmosphere caused Chancellor Helmut Kohl so much embarrassment that he flew in from Bonn to attend the game...
...limited its anti-Jewish activities to propaganda. It is extremely well documented that the PLO provided military and financial support for European neo-Nazi groups, including military training at former terrorist bases in Southern Lebanon PLO links to groups which have carried out the bombing of synagogues and Jewish schools in Europe have also been well documented. For example, al-Fatah, Arafat's group, trained members of L'oeuvre Francais, an extreme right-wing French group, to carry out terrorist operations for the PLO.

...most infamous of the Nazi concentration camps. Auschwitz was the site of the deliberate murder of over one million Jews and other "undesirables" from 1940-44. The name alone indicts and condemns the Party that attempted genocide and raises doubts about humanity's claim to dignity. But more than 35 years later in 1979, when Dr. Wilhelm Staeglich wrote his book. The Auschwitz Myth, he did not attempt to restore man's faith in his own humanity--a faith badly shaken by the Nazi's cold, calculated brutality. The West German neo-Nazi tried to revive anti-Semitic "Jewish conspiracy...
Although the movement that feeds this violence is still minuscule, membership in groups with a distinct neo-Nazi ideology jumped from 1,400 to 1,800 in the past year, according to federal officials. Paradoxically, the increase is occurring at a time when political support for right-wing extremist groups has plummeted. The Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (N.P.D.), the only legal ultraright party, won 1.4 million votes, or 4.3% of the total, in 1969. In last year's national elections, it polled an alltime...
