Kittery, ME – Town leaders are taking a public stand against neo-Nazis who have been distributing recruitment materials in Kittery and around the region.
The Admiralty Village neighborhood, where shipyard workers and families have traditionally resided, was riddled recently with hundreds of flyers from a group called the Nationalist Social Club, according to Town Council chairperson Judy Spiller.
“It’s just unacceptable and particularly right now where there is so much tension and polarization,” Spiller said before the council approved a statement condemning the neo-Nazi group’s efforts.
The Anti-Defamation League says the group “espouses racism, antisemitism and intolerance” online, and through graffiti and other propaganda. Its members “see themselves as soldiers at war with a hostile, Jewish-controlled system that is deliberately plotting the extinction of the white race.”
The neo-Nazi group formed in eastern Massachusetts in 2019, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
