The Organization of Nazi Victims in Bavaria demanded today of Federal Justice Minister Richard Jaeger the banning of the extreme rightwing newspaper, the Deutsche National-and-Soldaten-Zeitung which has been denounced in the West Gorman Parliament for its anti-Semitic articles.
The Nazi victims protested against two issues of the weekly newspaper, one with a story headlined, “The Lie of the Gas Chambers,” and another with a story with the headline, “The Lie of the Murder of Six Million Jews.” The second article asserted that Germans were being blackmailed with the second “lie.”
With a circulation of 200, 000, the rightwing paper has become the second largest weekly in West Germany and is widely displayed on newspaper stalls throughout the country.
