"They make no mention of their neo-Nazi sympathies and avoid public discussion about “politics, Jews or history,” the New York-based Counter Extremism Project reports. Members are encouraged to look and act like “regular guys” and maintain a focus on recruitment."

"Since Auschwitz was liberated in January 1945, the house at 88 Legionow Street had been in the private hands of a Polish family. But last year it was acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based NGO that has sought to combat extremism since 2014."

"Hamas has ability to rebuild if circumstances allow, expert Hans-Jakob Schindler tells DW
Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, has told DW that the ceasefire deal is "a victory" for the hostages and Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

However, Schindler said the Hamas command and control structure, and its tunnel network, had been severely degraded. "

“The house at 88 Legionow Street is imposing and ugly on the outside, but functional and spacious within. With temperatures below freezing and snow thick on the ground, visitors really notice the blast of warm air coming from the radiators when they walk through the door. It is what Nazi mass murderer Rudolf Höss would have felt after a day of 'work' just a few hundred feet away at the most notorious factory of death in history… The property is set to be turned into a weapon for good after being bought by the US-based Counter Extremism Project, who will transform it into a key pillar of their bid to combat radicalisation and violence.”

"Even so, organizations like IS and al-Qaida are not yet at a crisis level of recruiting American soldiers to its cause.

“In a few cases, they have attracted individuals serving in the armed forces,” said Joshua Fisher Birch, a terrorism analyst at the New York-based Counter Extremism Project.

“The perpetrator of the 2009 Fort Hood Shooting, where a US army psychiatrist killed 13 people and wounded 32 others, had communicated with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki.”

Fisher-Birch also pointed out another example from 2020, when Ethan Melzer, a US soldier and follower of the extremist and satanic group the Order of Nine Angles, passed sensitive information about his unit’s troop movements to an undercover FBI agent he believed to be a member of al-Qaida. Melzer wanted to facilitate an ambush on the unit."

“A hateful white supremacist network with a ‘fight club’ ethos is spreading across the US and around the world, new research shows. Neo-Nazi Active Clubs are said to be one of the fastest-growing extreme-right groups in America and are also present in the UK and Europe. The branches outwardly promote mixed martial arts (MMA) training and ‘brotherhood’ while preparing members for a race war against their perceived enemies, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)… The general ethos for members worldwide is to look and act like ‘regular guys’ and not talk about ‘politics, Jews or history’, according to research by the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based policy organisation.”

“The American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project purchased the house of the commandant of the German Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Rudolf Höss, in the summer and will open it to visitors on January 27, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, the New York Times reported. Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum Director Piotr Cywiński did not rule out cooperation with the new institution. The film "Zone of Interest," which tells the story of the Höss family, has led to strangers entering the property in Oświęcim, interested in the history of the house. This has prompted its resident, Grażyna Jurczak, to sell it. The sale of the house and the adjacent post-war building was finalized in October. The Counter Extremism Project and Ms. Jurczak have not disclosed the amount of the transaction, but - as the "NYT" wrote on Wednesday - it is about more than $120,000.”
