Repentant Nazis and the other kind

While the banal, platitude-spewing evil of Höss is worthy of disgust, Liz's response to Leigh's post reminded me of a New York Times article that I had seen recently about the Neo-Nazi problem in Passau that mentions the other kind of evil:  the unrepentant evil.  (Hitler apparently spent some amount of time in Passau, and, while this isn't exactly stressed on the government tourism website, this visit has made Passau a kind of Neo-Nazi Mecca.)  The article is about an outspoken opponent to the radical NPD, a far-right political party of sorts, who was recently stabbed in connection to his insistence that a recently-dead former Nazi be exhumed so that the swastika-flag illegally buried with him could be removed.  It first blows my mind that a former Nazi (who died within the last couple of years) is still motivated by whatever disgusting forces drove him to Nazism over fifty years ago, and it second blows my mind that there is even a percentage of crime in Bavaria that can be attributed to far-right groups; it seems like this is actually a problem.
