The town that fascism built: Inside the New York hamlet that once was home to a pro-Nazi camp and a street named after Hitler
Yaphank in Long Island was founded in part by the German American Bund, a pro Nazi group that flourished in the 1930s
They
established Camp Siegfried in 1935 as a place for like-minded Aryans to
drink beer, hold military demonstrations and learn about eugenics
Yaphank remains a town in Long Island, but gone are the roads once called Adolf Hitler Street, Goebbels and Goering
