Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
BERLIN, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Protesters greeted the neo-Nazi Democratic Party's biennial convention in Berlin as a new report said anti-Semitism was on the rise in Germany.
Thousands of protesters marched in the rain Saturday against the two-day convention with the slogan "the political center of the people," Israel's Ha'aretz said.
German President Horst Kohler said the "dream of normal Jewish life in Germany still clashes with anti-Semitism."
A report by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation said the neo-Nazi movement is growing and generating anti-Semitic feelings in the country.
The study said official reports indicate the number of attacks by right-wing extremists has risen 20 percent, Ha'aretz said.
The report said in East German cities such as Frankfurt an der Oder, the extreme right takes advantage of feelings of ill-will generated by high unemployment to recruit supporters.
Frankfurt an der Oder police last week said a group of neo-Nazis damaged a Kristallnacht monument; the last instance of anti-Semitic activity there was six years ago, Ha'aretz said.
