Anti-Semitism
Worries Brazil
Sao Paulo (JTA) — A re-
cent spate of anti- Semitic
incidents here has the Jew-
ish community worried at a
time of instability in Brazil,
where the president has just
been impeached.
The focus of the incidents
has been Sao Paulo, home to
half of the nation's 150,000
Jews, and Porto Alegre,
capital of Rio Grande do Sul,
whose Jewish community
numbers about 12,000.
Reports of the attacks
come as the nation copes
with an unprecedented
impeachment proceeding
that has led to the suspen-
sion of powers of President
Fernando Color de Mello.
_ Both he and his wife, Rosane
I
' Malta Collor, face trial on
corruption charges.
In mid-September, mem
bers of a neo-Nazi group beat
up two Jewish teen-age boys
wearing kipot at a lun-
cheonette near a Chabad
facility in Santo Andre.
The attack was carried out
by members of a group called
Skinheads-White Power. It
was reported to local police
but brought to public atten-
tion only when a Holocaust
survivor and self-styled
Nazi-hunter, Ben Abraham,
contacted the media and re-
ported the incident to them.
The group is known to
foster hatred for other
groups, as well.
Six skinheads are believed
responsible for an attack
Sept. 24 on a Sao Paulo radio
station with a listenership
among Brazilian migrants
from the northeast of the
country. The attackers
daubed a wall of the station
with a swastika and slogans
such as "Death to the Nor-
theasterners."
Two shots were fired dur-
ing the assault, which was
possibly staged in reprisal
for criticism voiced by the
station of a Sept. 17 televi-
sion documentary in which
the skinheads called for ex-
termination of Jews, Nor-
theasterners, blacks and
homosexuals.
The incident triggered the
creation of a forum for action
against neo-Nazism. Par-
ticipants include the Jewish
Federation of Sao Paulo, the
Order of Attorneys of Brazil,
the Commission of the
Catholic Diocese on Justice
and Peace, the National
Federation of Engineers, a
major labor union and
several political parties.
The president of the Sao
Paulo Jewish Federation
said the skinheads have a
movement behind them.
