Hitler concert angers New Zealand's Jews
A rock concert commemorating Adolf Hitler's birthday held in New Zealand's capital has angered Jews and anti-racist groups, Jewish community members told The Jerusalem Post on Saturday.
The concert, which took place Friday night in Wellington, was organized by local skinheads belonging to the international Hammerskins gang and neo-Nazi organization Blood and Honor - a group banned in several European countries.
An Australian "Viking rock" band was featured at the event held at an undisclosed location, the capital's Dominion Post reported.
The event had previously been scheduled to take place at a local motorcycle gang's headquarters but was later moved for an unknown reason.
New Zealand police, who were aware of the concert, said it was not illegal.
