Online Map Tacks Nazis In Your Neighborhood
Tracking Nazis in your neighborhood has never been easier.
A new, continuously updating website called FashMaps provides a real-time look at neo-Nazis spread across the U.S. and the world. Its creators scour neo-Nazi message boards and websites like the Daily Stormer in order to identify white supremacists and Nazi activists and track their locations, Haaretz reported.
The clickable “Nazis in Your Neighborhood” map allows users to find out information about Nazis living around them. Another map shows all terror incidents carried out by neo-Nazis and white supremacists since 2001.
The creators of the new map do not share their real names in order to allow them to join extremists message groups under assumed identities.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
