The emergence of a Nazi group in Taiwan (reported HERE on YW) that reveres Adolf Hitler and advocates curbing immigration has been condemned by The Simon Wiesenthal Center. “In the global interconnected world we live in, it is unacceptable anywhere to seek to promote the policies and images of Hitler and Nazi Germany as worthy of emulation,” Simon Wiesenthal Center Associate Dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper said in a statement.

The year-old NSA is seeking the status of a non-governmental organization from the Taiwanese authorities and plans to hold its inaugural convention this coming Saturday. The controversial association has around 1,000 members, mostly of college age, who use their Web site to publicize their extremist views. The Web site is emblazoned with a Nazi swastika and says the group’s ranks are reserved for people “who do not dislike Hitler.”
