Nazi camp trips must for German kids
School children in Germany will be forced to visit Nazi extermination camps as part of their school curriculum, London-based Times reported on Thursday.
School children in Germany will be forced to visit Nazi extermination camps as part of their school curriculum, London-based Times reported on Thursday.
The move - to be introduced in Bavaria and likely to become the norm throughout the country - is in response to the almost fatal stabbing of a senior police officer by a neo-Nazi.
"We have to take a stand against this far-right octopus, this tentacled monster," said Host Seehofer, the prime minister of Bavaria, who has ordered every ministry to come up with proposals to stamp out neo-Nazi influence in southern Germany.
"The first thing we have to do is set up a website that will give a point of contact to everyone who has problems with far-right extremists," Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian interior minster, said. "Our aim must be to bring up kids so that they can resist any attempt by the far-Right to lead them astray."
The program will also include a project to encourage youngsters not to join extreme rightist groups and a crackdown on Germans who use US websites to access forbidden material glorifying Hitler and the Third Reich.

They will feed into a comprehensive action plan to be unveiled next week.
"The first thing we have to do is set up a website that will give a point of contact to everyone who has problems with far-right extremists," Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian interior minster, said. "Our aim must be to bring up kids so that they can resist any attempt by the far-Right to lead them astray."
In the Bavarian case this will mean a compulsory visit to a concentration camp - usually Dachau, outside Munich - or offshoots of camps where slave labourers were forced to work for the German war effort. History lessons will also include excursions to centres that maintain records of Nazi crimes.
The program will also include a project to encourage youngsters not to join extreme rightist groups and a crackdown on Germans who use US websites to access forbidden material glorifying Hitler and the Third Reich.
