Nazism in the Americas

Nazism in the Americas has existed since the 1930s and it continues to exist today. The membership of the earliest groups reflected the sympathies which some German-Americans and some German Latin-Americans had for Nazi Germany, they embraced the spirit of Nazism in Europe and they sought to establish it within the Americas. Throughout the inter-war period and the outbreak of World War II, American Nazi parties engaged in activities such as sporting Nazi propaganda, storming newspapers, spreading Nazi-sympathetic materials, and infiltrating other non-political organizations.

The reaction to these parties varied, ranging from widespread support to outright resistance, including the formation of the first anti-Nazi Jewish resistance organizations in the United States, such as the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights.^[1]
