A new organization which has paid homage to an executed Nazi collaborator and defined its purpose as “the fight against Jewish influences and Zionist propaganda” in France has registered with authorities as a “legal association.” it was learned today. The group held its founding meeting on Feb. 6 to commemorate the 1945 execution of Robert Brasillach, an anti-Semitic propagandist who was convicted of war crimes by a French court. Membership in the group includes several right-wing personalities and avowed anti-Semites.
