Austria - Neo-Nazis disrupt death camp memorial

Neo-Nazi activists disrupted a ceremony to mark the liberation of Mauthausen concentration camp.
Witnesses, including the Austrian head of an international Mauthausen remembrance organisation, Willi Mernyi, said a group of men dressed in black interrupted a ceremony shouting "Heil Hitler" and giving the Nazi salute before fleeing.
Survivors of the concentration camp had come to mark the 64th anniversary of their liberation from the camp.
