[0058] Bernd Ewald Althans Collection on the Extreme Right in Germany, 1980-2000, ARCH02326

Location: International Institute of Social History (IISH), Cruquiusweg 31, 1019 AT Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Description: Born in Bremen, Germany, Bela Ewald Althans (1966- ) participated in paramilitary training of the Wehrsport but broke away with some friends to found the Nationale Jugend Deutschlands. Expelled from school, he joined the Deutsche Freiheitsbewegung der Bismarck-Deutsche of the former SS-major Otto Remer; in 1983 he became member of the neo-Nazist organization Aktion National Sozialisten (ANS) headed by Michael Kühnen; after his break with Kühnen at the end of the 1980s, he became friends with Ernst Zündel, a 'revisionist' publisher who denied the Holocaust. In 1990 he organized in Munich the conference "Wahrheit macht frei," which was a landmark in the history of revisionism, the movement to deny or dismiss the Holocaust. He broke with neo-Nazism in 1992, partly because of his aversion to the attacks/assaults on refugees and other foreigners in Germany, partly because of his bisexuality. He became known to a broader audience as the main figure in Winfried Bohnengel's documentary film Beruf: Neo-Nazi (1996). In 1995 he was sentenced to a term of three-and-a-half years imprisonment as a Holocaust denier and for agitation in earlier years; he left Germany after his release. The collection contains prison diaries; correspondence with neo-Nazist organizations in Europe, the USA and South Africa; address lists; documents on trials; pamphlets; illegal facsimile editions of publications of Joseph Goebbels and other documents.
