History : In January 1994, with the help of CEDADE, the publisher Bright Rainbow put out Gerd Honsik’s book, Absolution for Hitler? with the intention of promoting in Spain the international neo-Nazi campaign.CEDADE has continued to circulate its materials through setting up book tables on the streets of various towns, and by having stands at the Book Fairs in Madrid and Barcelona. They produced an introductory pamphlet for these occasions: “Dare to get to know us!” Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, CEDADE maintained its widespread international contacts, not only offering its publishing and distribution facilities to other neo-Nazi groups, but also sponsoring meetings that would have been illegal in other countries. The most important of these was the celebration of the centenary of Hitler’s birth in April 1989.CEDADE’s efforts to commemorate the centenary of Adolf Hitler "in the serious and worthy manner it deserves" represents the final attempt to revive the organization. The event, held at the Cinema Benlliure in Madrid, brought many European neo-Nazi leaders to Spain. In fact, the only authorized commemoration for the event was held in Spain, other countries had suppressed such celebrations in light of what had happened previously on the ninetieth anniversary of Hitler’s birth.Contributions from abroad enabled CEDADE to print 40,000 posters designed by Ernst Zündel, and 16,000 stickers. The word “anniversary” appeared in Spanish, German, English and French, and neo-Nazi activists put it up in many European towns as well as in Argentina and Chile during the night of April 19.
The gathering for Hitler’s centenary met with protest, but the government of Spain allowed it since it was sponsored by a legal organization. The Government Delegation of Madrid attempted to prohibit the event, noting that Nazi commemorations were a danger to law and order and citing a 1959 law to this effect. Nevertheless, the police allowed 200–300 people to join the event outside the cinema, where they heard Pedro Varela and Thies Christophersen paying tribute to the Nazi era and commending Hitler for his brilliant ideas and social measures. Later that night, CEDADE held a meeting in its Madrid offices at which Pedro Varela, van Tonningen, Thies Christophersen, and Ewald Althaus (representing German neo-Nazis) spoke. The evening’s principle speaker was Léon Degrelle, who delivered an anti-democratic speech, throwing in a few antisemitic remarks as well.The Mundo NS magazine appeared in April 1984, Mundo NS (NS World) is edited and produced by Ramón Bau in Barcelona at his Centro Unitario publishing house, as an organ of Ediciones Wotan.
The journal appeared monthly, with a wide range of information about extreme Right political organizations and publications, especially when these are related to Holocaust revisionism. It presents a critical analysis of the evolution of the Spanish extreme Right, as well as recommendations about propaganda tactics and political strategy. A segment is devoted to ecological concerns, and praises rural life, the music of Wagner, and art of the Nazi period. An issue of MundoNS was dedicated to racial questions. In it, Bau asserted that there are superior and inferior races, and recommended three videotapes on the subject of genetics, available from the Argentine Walhalla publishing company. He hinted that feelings of superiority or scorn towards other races was not actually racism, but was rather a fundamental urge for preserving the Aryan nations and preventing the integration of racial minorities in Western society.
