German Ambassador Heinz Krekeler, speaking at a luncheon at the National Press Club, said yesterday that Nazis and neo-Nazism were “dead as a door nail” in West Germany and there were no chances of a resurgence.
Anti-Semitism, he stated, was of “no importance” today in the economic and political life of West Germany. He said there were “unfortunately very few” Jews in West Germany because the Jews were “so ruthlessly expelled” by the Nazis. He pointed to the reparations treaty with Israel and its ratification as evidence of Germany’s present attitude toward the Jews.
