About 80 members of the far-right skinhead organisation, the Polish National Brotherhood, marched through the Auschwitz concentration camp at the beginning of April. The protesters, some of whom wore military-style clothes embellished with nazi emblems and carried clubs, claimed that they were protesting at the "monopolisation" of the camp by Jewish groups. It is estimated that over a million Jews died in Auschwitz during the Holocaust along with 70,000 non-Jewish Poles. The Polish National Brotherhood is led by Boleslaw Tejkowski, who was found guilty of inciting racial strife in 1994, and was given a one year suspended sentence. Last year, Tejkowski announced that he was, by the will of the Slavic god Swiatowid, a reincarnation of the Polish king Boleslaw the Bold.
