German Boys Join Anti-Immigrant, Neo-Nazi Groups, Study Shows<\/a>
\nPatrick Donahue<\/p>\n

March 17 (Bloomberg) — A study funded by Germany\u2019s Interior Ministry showed that more than twice as many German boys belong to anti-immigrant or neo-Nazi groups than claim membership of the major political parties\u2019 youth organizations.<\/p>\n

Out of more than 26,000 youths surveyed in 2007 and 2008, 4.9 percent of boys said they belonged to a \u201cright-wing group or \u2018Kameradschaft\u2019,\u201d the study by Hanover-based research institute KFN<\/a> showed. That compares with as many as 2 percent that belong to youth organizations for established parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s shocking that these right-wing groups can be more successful at mobilizing our youth than the established parties,\u201d KFN Director Christian Pfeiffer told reporters today in Berlin. While a comparison between such groups is inexact, since many established party youth clubs charge membership fees, Pfeiffer said it was instructive.<\/p>\n

Last month, about 6,000 German boneheads and neo-Nazi groups in the eastern city of Dresden staged one of their biggest demonstrations<\/a> since German reunification in 1990. The groups, mostly made up of youths tied to the anti-immigrant National Democratic Party, used the 64th anniversary of the 1945 firebombing of Dresden on Feb. 14 to hold a \u201cmourning march.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking alongside German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble at a press conference, Pfeiffer said he didn\u2019t know whether the 4.9 percent figure had increased, since a comparable number wasn\u2019t available from previous studies. Some 2.6 percent of girls said they belonged to anti-immigrant and neo-Nazi organizations.<\/p>\n

Kamaradschaften are clubs that offer a forum for symbols and songs that often recall Germany\u2019s Nazi past. The display of Nazi symbols is prohibited in Germany.<\/p>\n

The study also revealed that 29.7 percent of youths agreed with the statement that there are \u201ctoo many foreigners in Germany;\u201d another 34.8 percent tended toward that position, according to the study, Youth in Germany as Victims and Perpetrators of Violence<\/a>.<\/p>\n
