Notes
1. Around the time of Moelln, large numbers of Germans took to
the streets to express outrage at the neo-Nazi violence. In
Berlin, a government-backed rally drew 300,000 anti-Nazi
protesters, while additional candlelight vigils and protest
marches attracted large numbers of Berliners. There followed
demonstrations of 400,000 in Munich, 120,000 each in Karlsruhe
and Stuttgart, 400,000 in Hamburg, 250,000 in Essen and
200,000 once again in Berlin. It is estimated that a total of
some three million Germans took part in these anti-Nazi
expressions.
2. Boehse Onkelz have since shed their affinity with
neo-Nazisim.
3. Most recently, police stopped 231 Skins who were on their
way to a concert planned for March 25, 1995, in Triptis (near
Erfurt in eastern Germany), and prevented the event from
taking place.
4. The FAP was banned in February 1995.

supremacists. There are many skinheads who are non- or anti-racist, and
who come from a variety of different religious and cultural backgrounds.
Nizkor recognizes their achievements in anti-racism: they are part of
the traditional, non-racist skinhead subculture and are not the
perpetrators of the hate crimes discussed here.
Unless otherwise specified, the word "skinhead" within these pages
refers only to neo-Nazi and white supremacist skinheads, the
perpetrators of hate crimes and participants in racist organizations.
