World Jewish Congress Charges Active Nazi Movement is Operating in Colombia

The Worl Jewish Congress today expressed serious concern over the “brazen affirmation” of Nazien by an active Hitler-type movement in Colombia. Citing evidence of “Nazi demonstrations and unhampered dissemination of Nazi propaganda” in Colombia, in a letter to Don Eduardo Zuleto-Angel, Ambassador of Colombia to the United States, the Congress charged that on October 27, Colombian students in the city of Medellin held a memorial service in honor of Nazi leaders executed as war criminals.

Those attending the service–which took place on the fourth anniversary of the execution of the Nuremburg war criminals–wore swastika armbands, and listened to the anthems of Nazi Germany. Following the service, Nazi propaganda leaflets and pictures of Adolf Hitler were distributed, the letter stated.
