"Police have carried out raids across Germany as ministers announced a ban on a
far-right group described as a “cult-like, deeply racist and antisemitic
association” that sought to indoctrinate children with Nazi ideology.
Officers stormed 26 apartments belonging to 39 members of the Artgemeinschaft
network in 12 states including Bavaria, Baden-Wüerttemberg and Brandenburg.
The association has about 150 members and has links to several far-right
groups, said the interior ministry.
It uses the cover of a “pseudo-religious Germanic belief in God to spread their
worldview which violates human dignity”, said the ministry.
Using Nazi-era literature, the association sought to convert young people to
adopt its race theories.
It also operated an online bookstore that sought to radicalise and attract
non-members.
“This is a further blow against right-wing extremism and against the
intellectual agitators who still spread Nazi ideologies today,” said the
interior minister, Nancy Faeser.
“This far-right group tried to raise new enemies of the constitution through
the disgusting indoctrination of children and youths,” she added."
