Poland to white nationalist Richard Spencer: keep out

Associated Press in Warsaw
Friday 27 October 2017 16.38 BST

The Polish government has expressed strong objections to plans by American white nationalist Richard Spencer to speak at a far-right conference in Warsaw in November, but did not say if it would prevent him from entering the country.

Foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski described Spencer as someone “who defames what happened during World War II, defames the Holocaust.”

“He should not appear publicly, and especially not in Poland,” Waszczykowski said on Friday.

Spencer, 39, is the white supremacist leader who organized the August rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that turned violent, killing a woman. He was invited by far-right Polish organizations to speak at a conference on 10 November, a day before Poland’s independence day holiday.

In past years a march by far-right extremists on 11 November has become one of the largest extremist gatherings in Europe.

Have we all forgotten the evil? Eradication means shutting down any hint of their ressurection or tens of millions will have died in vain.

These folks are not jusy "white nationalists", they are Nazis. Call them that and nothing else.
