In Poland, there is Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski – NOP (National Rebirth of Poland) – the officially registered nationalist and national-revolutionary political party. NOP is promoting violent forms of neofascism and anti-semitism, including the Holocaust denial and racism. A considerable number of government bodies, nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions and individual experts worldwide, e.g. the United States Department of State and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), claimed NOP to be an anti-semitic organisation. |
