Photos taken at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 showed a bearded man, later identified as Robert Keith Packer of Virginia, wearing a sweatshirt with the words “Camp Auschwitz” above a skull and crossbones. Under it: “Work Brings Freedom.” News reports said the back of the sweatshirt read “Staff.”
Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville chanted “Jews will not replace us,” carrying lighted tiki torches at a 2017 rally whose aim was to unite disparate right-wing extremist factions, many of which were represented in D.C. Despite all of this, the Proud Boys insist they have Jewish members, and their figurehead, Donald Trump, plumbly denies claims of antisemitism, pointing to Jewish members of his own family.
