The Association of Fighters and Survivors of Nazism has asked Premier Menachem Begin to take up the problem of Nazi propaganda material that is circulating throughout the world. The Association is seeking action against both the United States and the West German governments, the countries from which this material originates.
Avraham Neumann, secretary general of the Association, told reporters that while some of the material comes from Germany, much of it originates from Lincoln, Nebraska in the U.S., although it is written in German. It was not known whether the authors of the material are German expatriates or native American Nazis, he said.
According to Neumann, there appears to be a Nazi international operating around the globe, sponsoring conventions and meetings. In Germany alone there were at least some 80 gatherings of former 55 members. Great Britain and France have also Nazi meetings.
