Israeli Journalist Warns of Threat
After Infiltrating Neo-Nazi Germany
By Matthew Fleischer
NEW YORK, (JTA)-An
Israeli journalist and former
intelligence agent who infil-
trated German neo-Nazi
groups for the past five
months warned that the size
and reach of the rightist
movement in Germany has
been severely underesti-
mated by its government.
Yaron Svoray, a child of
Holocaust survivors who
posed as a rightward-leaning
journalist with high-finance
connections, befriended the
leaders of several extremist
groups and discovered thou-
sands of members previously
unacknowledged by the Ger-
man government.
“I believe that the Gennan
government estimate is only
a quarter,” Svoray said.
“That is, you should take their
estimate and multiply by
four.”
Svoray cited one group,
the Nationalistic Front,
which the government says
has 130 members.
The group’s leader,
Meinholf Schoenbom, chal-
lenged Svoray to verify a
membership list of8,600- any
of whom, Schoenbom said,
would report immediately to
Schoenbom’s office to say
“Yes, mein Fuhrer.”
Svoray, 38, said he has
traveled to Germany four
times since October and vis-
ited with neo-Nazi leaders
for hours of interviews, din-
ners and nights out carous-
ing, which included urina-
tion on effigies of Jews.
He also watched as the
skinheads attacked some
Cypriot refugees.
“Initially it was one of the
most horrific experiences of
my life,” Svoray said. “It
was revolting. But I actually
had to stay and lode, the way
you do at an accident.”
Rabbi Marvin Hier of the
Simon Wiesenthal Center,
the primary sponsor of
Svoray’s investigation, said
Svoray’s major discovery
was apreviously overlooked
around the Israeli Svoray.
“It was very much like a
neighborhood. You meet one
person and they introduce
you to someone else and say,
‘This is my friend, Ron,”'
Svoray recounted.
Svoray also observed that
the neo-Nazis had friends in
certain German police pre-
cincts like Hesse, where
Svoray said local neo-Nazi
leader Heinz Reisz was told
in advance of police raids
and often “given a wink, a
charismatic neo-Nazi leader nod and a goodbye by the
named Wolfgang Juchern. police.”
Svoray says that Juchern, He assessed Juchem, a
who lives near Frankfurt and polished former intelligence
lectures regularly through- official who describes hkn-
out eastern Germany, claims self as having “put in 30 years
to have2,000 financial back- of good service to the Ger-
ers and a network of sympa-
thizers numbering nearly
10,000.
A crew from CBS accom-
panied Svoray on part of his
investigation, Some of the
CBS footage was broadcast
Tuesday night on German
public television.
Hier said that Stem and
Der Spiegel, two of the most
prominent German publica-
tk ns, have also bought the
story.
During the investigation
Svoray used an Australian
passport with the name Ron
Furey, which he chose for its
resonance with “Fuhrer,” and
claimed to write for a right-
wing American publication.
The Wiesenthal Center
distributed to reporters pic-
tures showing Juchem smil-
man nation,” as the likeliest
candidate to unify the frag-
mented movement.
In contrast, he believed the
youthful skinhead groups
posed less of a threat.
“Most of themarejustkids
in it for fun,” Svoray said.
“In four weeks, they’ll be
Tibetan monks or some-
thing.”
Hier believes it was im-
portant to conduct an inde-
pendent test of he German
estimates.
“The govemmenthas been
late to act in monitoring these
groups,” said Hier
Svoray’s findings have
been sent to the German
ambassador.
The investigation over,
Svoray believes his life is in
danger now, but “that just
ing broadly with his arm comes with the territory.”
