The Far-Right Burn Anne Frank's Diary
Who will rid the planet of these slack-jawed, fuctards?
"BERLIN (Reuters) - The ceremonial burning of the diary of Holocaust victim Anne Frank by far-right extremists in eastern Germany was condemned by the German government on Friday amid calls to intensify efforts to stamp out neo-Nazi activity.
'This act was beneath contempt and could scarcely have been more primitive,' the German Interior Ministry said in a statement to Reuters.
The ministry was reacting to an incident in which three men in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt used a copy of the diary of the Jewish teenager to re-enact the Nazis' infamous incineration of 'un-German' literature in 1933.
State prosecutors are investigating the men, who also burned an American flag in front of a crowd estimated to have numbered more than a hundred, on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.
According to news reports, one of the men cast the diary into the flames and said: 'I commit Anne Frank to the fire,' borrowing words used by the Nazis in 1933."
