[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.

The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between Stanley and leading Committee members and other active members of the non-interventionist movement, including Harry Byrd, D. Worth Clark, James Fallon, Gerald P. Nye, Robert R. Reynolds, and Charles W. Tobey. The collection also contains copies of the Congressional Record; printed material regarding the organization; America First Committee reports; a box of research notes probably compiled by Stanley; and printed material by the Friends of Democracy, an organization opposed to the efforts of the America First Committee.

[0063] America First Movement, MS10
Location: Manuscripts and Archives, McCormick Library, Northwestern University Library, 1970 Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60208-2300
Description: This collection provides materials from three sources: the America First Committee, other American groups with similar goals, and German propaganda in the 1930s. Materials include pamphlets, small monographs, serials, correspondence, flyers, posters, political ephemera, and photographs. The first section is composed of materials from the actual America First Committee, a group opposed to American entry into World War II, active in 1940-1941. Many of these pieces are concerned in particular with the Los Angeles area branch of the movement. The second section is made up of materials from other American groups, who, while having the same goal as the America First Committee, were not officially affiliated with it. These groups are also from the Los Angeles area. Most are extremely conservative and materials reflect the anti-Semitism, racism, and anti-Communism masquerading behind the respectable front of association with the America First Committee itself and Charles Lindbergh. Also included in the movement were pro-German Bund societies, and some pieces reflect that association. The third category of materials in the collection include pamphlets, serials, and photographs from Germany.
