The Dachau branch of the extremist right-wing National Democratic party announced yesterday plans to hold a rally at the site of the Nazi death camp later this month and was promptly challenged by the leftist Democratic Action group in nearby Munich.
A spokesman for the NPD branch said a prominent speaker was expected to lead the rally. The Munich group said such a rally should not be held near the site of a camp which had become “a symbol of horror of Nazi barbarism in the whole world.”
