A recently uncovered video of a 2004 neo-Nazi rally shows that supporters of Poland’s controversial education minister attended. The video, submitted to the Polish daily Dziennik, shows a neo-Nazi celebration with a large burning swastika, Nazi flags and participants shouting “Sieg Heil.” Dziennik reported that the rally in Silesia, in southern Poland, was attended by members of All Polish Youth, a skinhead organization that once was led by Education Minister Roman Giertych, who remains the group’s honorary chairman.
