Although it can be thought that Nazism is a matter of past, in the last years it has emerged groups named neo-Nazis that have been involved in violent incidents. They are groups, of youths usually, who attack inmigrants and spread racist and anti-semitic propaganda. Sometimes these groups are related, not just with politic ideology but with sports such as football. Some may think that this is a German phenomenon but the news show us that is extended in Europe and even in the United States. The culminating point of that was the victory of the Jorg Haider’s far-right party (FPO) which became the second largest party in the last Austrian elections. All these facts lead to think about neo-nazism and if it represents a menace nowadays. In this essay I will try to present the different forms of neo-Nazism existing and to explain why, in my opinion, it should be controlled although they are in a minority. In the last decade it has increased the number of news about violent incidents in which groups of neo-Nazis have been involved. It can be seen on television or read in the newspapers, they assault inmigrants, or people with different races or religions. Some may say that these are isolated facts and lead by adolescents who have a peculiar way of having fun. I strongly feel that they are very frequent and the fact that young people commit those crimes is even more worrying. In Germany this sort of violence is something almost usual since years ago. An article published by “The Times” narrates some of these incidents. In Rostock, a German town, more than a hundred youth set a refugee hostel on fire in 1992 .In 1993 five Turks were killed in the west of that country. The next year a hundred drunken neo-Nazis chased African students and hurt them badly with iron rods while they shut “Germany for the Germans”. (The Times, May 1994). These are only a few examples. From my point of view it seems that these are not isolated incidents since there is a lot of news in the internet and in the newspapers that can be found about this sort of attacks.
