Joerg Haider is the leader of the Ultra Right Wing Patriot Party in Austria. His family were ardent Nazi's during Adolf Hitler's 12 year rule in Germany. He praised the Waffen S.S.., who were responsible for the massacre of the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto. He praised Nazi Germany's employment policies that saw the death of so many Jews in the slave labor camps of the Nazi's.
Haider's party secured 27% of the 1999 Austrian vote. On that basis, his party, with its strong anti-immigration stance, is now part and parcel of the Austrian government. Shades of the past. Hitler came to power the same way. Von asked him to form a government.
The rest is history. The fact that the century ended on such a low note is proof positive that Nazi philosophy still has its adherents.
