A spokesman for the Stockholm Students Union said today that a number of pro-Nazi members might be expelled from the group for singing anti-Semitic Nazi songs at a students function at Stockholm University.
The incident occurred when some students sang the Israeli folk song “Hava Nagila.” The pro-Nazi students, some of them members of the Law Faculty, immediately begar singing “Deutschland Uber Alles,” and the Horst Wessel Nazi anthem. When they finished singing, the Nazi students shouted “Sieg Heil,” in unison. The Students Union spokesman expressed regret over the incident.
