Description“THE NEO-NAZI SCENE IN GERMANY is growing at an alarming rate and becoming stronger,” reported Der Spiegel on March 19, 2009. Thus, because of the rise of neo-nazism in Germany, fear and much consternation is mounting amongst the European Jewish community regarding the rise of Neo-Nazi Youth groups.

A former senior official of the Neo-Nazi movement in Germany said in a recent interview that German youth join the Neo-Nazi movement because they “want to do something for Germany.”
