By Nathan Guttman February 7, 2018
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.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
