This show gives the audience a look into the Volksfront Neo-Nazi Gang. Volksfront, also known as Volksfront International, described itself as an international fraternal organization for persons of European descent. The group and was founded October 20, 1994,in Portland, Oregon. Volksfront had approximately 50 members in the United States split between four chapters designated as Pac-West, Central States, North East, and Gulf-Atlantic, and an additional 50 members dispersed in other countries including Germany, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Spain. In the United States, the organization did not accept female members. Volksfront has been called "neo-Nazi" and a "racist-skinhead group" in press reports. The Anti-Defamation League claims since its establishment in 1994, the group had been growing nationally and internationally had called the group "one of the most active skinhead groups in the United States." The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has added Volksfront to its list of hate groups., a designation that Volksfront disputes. Events Volksfront held several events, including weekend-long concerts and speakers two or three times a year. The group also held organizational gatherings and memorial parties in remembrance of white nationalists who had been murdered or imprisoned around the world. An annual Volksfront event called Althing was held south of St. Louis, Missouri at the group's Samuel Weaver Memorial Hall, which was named after the son of Randy Weaver, who was killed by federal agents in 1992. Ideology Volksfront stated on their now-defunct website that the group did not support Nazism and white supremacy: "As a group we believe in the right of all people to live free from alien and foreign domination, including and especially, persons of European descent. As a group, we do not believe in the inherent superiority of a particular race over another as it relates to the value of human life. We do not seek to oppress, victimize or intimidate any other racial or religious group, but we will defend our own race and VF family without apology or question from all comers. We do not believe in or support tyrannical or totalitarian government of any type. According to the Anti-Defamation League, Volksfront was a virulently racist, rebellious, anti-authoritarianist and anti-semitic group that had become the most active neo-Nazi group on the West Coast of the United States, and which maintained close alliances with many other hate groups.[4] Volksfront denied many of these claims as political attacks by the ADL and SPLC.
