A former German Jewish leader discovered he had been assigned police
guards with neo-Nazi affiliations. Michel Friedman, who served as
vice president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany from 2001
to 2003, said Wednesday that a state investigation had revealed that
some of his police bodyguards were secretly neo-Nazis. The discovery
came in the course of an internal fraud probe.”This is devastating for
me,” Friedman, 51, told Reuters. “One has to imagine it, how these men
who were supposed to protect me from Nazis had the same mentality.”
