Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor, visited the former Nazi death camp at Buchenwald to express his country’s outrage over a weekend rampage by neo-Nazi skinheads. About 20 right-wingers stormed through the camp Saturday, threatening to burn a supervisor to death, throwing stones at buildings and giving the Hitler salute. One youth was arrested after Saturday’s incident, and prosecutors said further arrests were possible.
