Neo-Nazis from Holland, Britain and Germany were filmed by a television crew last week at a meeting in an opulent villa near the Dutch city of Arnhem. They were shown under a portrait of Adolf Hitler.
Ray Edmonds, representing the British National Party, denied that 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. “If any Jews were killed, they were killed as spies, and rightly so, just as in Britain spies were killed during the war,” Edmonds claimed.
The meeting was the most recent neo-Nazi gathering hosted by Flora Rost van Tonningen, widow of notorious Dutch Nazi collaborator Meinhoud Rost van Tonningen, who died in prison after World War II.
