[net.religion.jewish] Know Thy Enemy

liss@psyche.DEC (Frederick R. Liss 237-3649) (06/26/85)

The recent publicity over the discovery of the body of Mengle (sp?) has
caught me totally off guard. I had to personally speak to a victim of
the holocaust to find out the true nature of this person. Another
incident happened a few months ago which hit closer to home. A Nazi war
fugitive was discovered living in the central Massachusetts town of
Shrewsbury. His home was less than a mile from where I work. Needless to
say, once he was discovered, he crossed the border to Canada. 

These events pointed out to me how ignorant I am in knowledge of these
matters. Knowing ones heritage requires more than watching The Holocaust
on TV. It requires being aware of what is going on around you today as
well as what has happened in the past. This morning I read an article
that shocked me. It was about computer networks set up by the American
Nazi Party and the Klan. Again I was caught off guard.

I am attaching a copy of the above mentioned article. It is written by
Prentiss Riddle and appears in the most recent HUMAN-NETS Digest (V8
#20), which is distributed over the ARPAnet. I am passing this
information along in the same sense as Mr. Riddle, so that we might
"Know Thy Enemy".
