eminent had encouraged out-
breaks of nationalist violence
against refugees seeking asy-
lum here.
Ignatz Bubis, chairman of
the Central Council of Jews
in Germany, had accused the
government of fading to head
a off violence from the right
*1 wingers as efficiently as it
had when the danger came
from the far left.
Bubis termed it scandal-
ous that neo-Nazi activists
were routinely released
shortly after being arrested,
| and showed up hours later in
new scenes of violence.
Government spokesman
Dieter Vogel said Bubis had
"arather unusual idea" about
what the government was
*4 able to do. "The federal gov-
ij. eminent has from the very
beginning condemned these
acts by right-wing extrem-
ists with the greatest sharp-
ness and clarity," he said.
In a Bundestag debate on
■ the situation last week, many
■ lawmakers warned of paral-
lels between the current neo-
Nazi attacks and the Nazi
mob that helped pave the way
for Adolf Hitler's ascension
to power in 1933.
Hans-Jochen Vogel, a So-
cial Democratic leader and a
former candidate for chan-
cellor, pointed out that the
Weimar Republic did not fail
because of lack of laws
against violence, but rather
too few politicians were
ready to stand up and fight
for democracy.
Germany's internal secu-
rity service, meanwhile, re-
ported that assaults on for-
eigners have become more
frequent and more brutal over
the past nine months.
Ten foreigners were killed
so far this year by neo-Nazis,
compared with three in all of
1991.
A total of 405 arson and
bomb attacks on foreign refu-
gees were registered in the
past nine months, compared
to 383 in 1991.
Violent incidents against
foreigners have totaled 1,483
this year — roughly the same
as for the whole of 1991.
Incidents
continued from p. 1
"They are not merely rebel
teen-agers. There are lead-
ers who imbue ideas in the
heads of young people, who
come to believe in the Nazi
flag," said Jayme Bobrow.
A founding meeting of the
new anti-racist forum was
addressed by the mayor of
Sao Paulo.
Reports said federal po-
lice have knowledge of in-
ternational groups that are
subsidizing Skinheads-
White Power in Brazil.
They include the neo-Nazi
Condemned 84 in Ipswich,
England; Streetwise in
Maussluis, Holland; the Junta
for National Defense in
Lisbon, Portugal; and the
Church Creator in the United
States. The last named has
issued a racist book; "The
Bible of the White Man," in
North Carolina, with the sup-
port of the Ku Klux Klan. It
also distributes a newspaper
called Racial Loyalty.
Two other magazines with
a limited circulation in the
Sao Paulo area have called

continued from p. 1
there. "But this crime could
serve as a powerful warn-
ing to all of us: Never again
hatred of foreigners, never
again anti-Semitism."
Destroyed in the arson in-
cident was a new Jewish
museum and memorial to
the dead.
The rally came a day after
Chancellor Helmut Kohl
proclaimed that "hatred of
foreigners and anti-Semit-
ism are shameful for our
country."
Kohl spoke in a televi-
sion address commemorat-
ing the second anniversary
of the reunification of Ger-
many, a merger that has
brought in its wake a rising
tide of right-wing assaults
against foreigners as well
as anti-Semitic acts.
A warning not was also
sounded Sunday by a noted
Israeli writer.
"The fire at
Sachsenhausen may have
been laid to erase Germany's
terrible past," said novelist
AmosOz. "But it is not the
past that burns in
Sachsenhausen."
No, he added. "It is the
German present and Ger-
man future that are in dan-
ger of catching fire."
Oz was speaking to an au-
dience that included German
President Richard von
Weizsacker when he ac-
cepted the country's most
important literary award, the
Peace Prize, at the Frankfurt
Book Fair. Most of Oz's
books have been translated
into German.
At the site of the Sach-
senhausen concentration
camp outside Berlin, Aloni
said that the creation of the
State of Israel had provided
"a place of refuge for our
people. And we will defend
ourselves when necessary.
"B ut at the same time, "she
said, "we will struggle ev-
erywhere against the terrible
manifestations of hatred
against people on the grounds
of color, ethnic origin or cul-
tural background."
Aloni laid a wreath at the
site of the destroyed memo-
rial in the presence of a crowd
that included Berlin Mayor
Eberhardt Diepgen and
Manfred Stolpe, prime min-
ister of eastern state of
Brandenburg, where
Sachsenhausen is located.
The Israeli minister said
she had visited the camp for
the first time in 1979 as a
guest of the Communist re-
gime of East Germany and
could remember many de-
tails of the site. But the visit
then had a gloomy aspect.
"Back then, the visit was
very sad. I felt lonely and
somehow scared," she said.
"East Germany considered
itself a real enemy of Israel.
"Today, I have been
among friends who came to
protest against the barbaric
attacks of the neo-Nazis,"
she said. "I had a good feel-
ing that people really care -
- at least those who turned
up here."
That may have been an
indirect barb at Kohl, who
some here feel has acted with
insufficient vigor against
neo-Nazi attacks. When
Dietrich Bohl, a vice minis-
ter in the Chancellor's Of-
fice in Bonn, sought to con-
vey Kohl's greetings to the
Sachsenhausen rally, the
crowd responded with loud
jeers.
Stolpe said the demonstra-
tors had come to the rally on
their own; the government
had not arranged transpor-
tation. He said he had dis-
cussed with Aloni a youth
exchange program that
would allow young Ger-
mans to leam firsthand about
modem Israel.

ment will celebrate “A Life-

Hitler's birthday on April 20.
Forum spokespersons said
they plan to issue a mani-
festo Oct. 8 calling for the
preventive imprisonment of
the Skinheads, who appeared
on the Sept. 17 television
documentary. But police say
they have not yet identified
them.
The manifesto is titled
"Nazism Never Again." It
will be read at a public meet-
ing at the headquarters of the
Order of Attorneys of Brazil.
The document says, "The
hour has arrived to combat
the myth that there is racial
democracy in Brazil."
In Porto Alegre, the state
governor has acceded to the
request of the Jewish Fed-
eration and will provide po-
lice protection for the city's
five synagogues and two
cemeteries.
The request followed at-
tacks Sept. 26 and Oct. 1
when the walls of the two
Jewish cemeteries were
painted with swastikas and
graffiti that included "Six
million was too little." The
identity of the perpetrators
has not been determined.
In the city of Pelotas, in
the state of Rio Grande do
Sul, red swastikas were
painted on the wall of the
Sociedade Israelita. Police
say they have suspects in the
case.

The president of the Jew-
ish Federation, Samuel Burd,
said the incidents demon-
strate that "the effects of a
worldwide neo-Nazi move-
ment are beginning to arrive
here.”
Meanwhile, federal police
in Brasilia, the capital, are
investigating a possible con-
nection between neo-Nazis
here and an American maga-
zine founded by American
political extremist Lyndon
LaRouche.
The magazine, Executive
Intelligence Review, has
published articles attacking
two prominent Brazilian
Jewish political leaders.
Articles published about
two years ago attacked Con-
gressman Fabio Feldmann
for" encouraging the destruc-
tion of the armed forces" and
for "defending the exchange
of the external debt for inter-
nationalization of the Ama-
zon."
And they attacked former
education minister Jose
Goldemberg as "an agent of
the neo-colonials."
The magazine's correspon-
dent in Brazil, Lorenzo
Carrasco, is a former candi-
date for Congress.
