The organization was based largely upon the ideals and policies of Adolf Hitler 's NSDAP in Germany during the Third Reich . In 1967 Rockwell was assassinated by a disgruntled party member in the parking lot of the local laundromat. The group was renamed the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP) a few months before Rockwell's assassination. Matt Koehl became Rockwell's successor. From the party's headquarters members would publish amateurish cartoons portraying whites in a favorable light fighting and defending white school children oppressed by ignorant and violent African-Americans and distribute these cartoon books to school children from the schools' parking lots. The resentment Northern Virginia students felt towards the governments desegregation effort known as Busing caused this Nazi material to resonate among certain members of the white population. In 1970 , NSWPP member Frank Collin broke away from the group and founded the National Socialist Party Of America which became famous due to its attempt to march through Skokie, Illinois ; a community with a large Jewish population and a number of survivors of the Nazi genocide. Collin's actual goal was to lead demonstrations in Chicago's Marquette Park area, and targeted Skokie in an attempt to get access to Marquette Park without posting a large insurance bond. Collin was eventually convicted and sent to prison in 1979 on charges of child molestation. Collin was, ironically, of Jewish descent. PARTY HEADQUARTERS The American Nazi Party moved out of the 6045 Wilson Boulevard office from the predominantly residential Dominion Hills neighborhood to 2507 North Franklin Road, Arlington, Virginia . The party's barracks which housed 20 stormtroopers was located nearby at 6150 Wilson Boulevard. This was the old farm house which the neighbors called "the house on hatemonger hill." {Link without Title} In the 1980's the party abandoned the Northern Virginia area for other climes as they realized that the urban Washington area was not sympathetic to their recruiting. The office building where Rockwell's office was located is now known as the Dominion Hills Professional Center. The strip mall where Rockwell was slain is still called the Dominion Hills Shopping Centre. In the past, admirers of Rockwell have painted a swastika on the exact spot of the parking lot where he died. No such marking currently exists. REVIVED ANP More recently a new American Nazi Party has been launched and is largely regarded as Extremist , even for a Fascist organization. The new group claims to be the inheritor of Rockwell's legacy and is led by Rocky Suhayda . It was formerly known as the European American Education Association and is based in Eastpointe, Michigan . They use the so-called Fourteen Words as their motto: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." According to their website, "The American Nazi Party is a Political-Educational Association, dedicated to the 14 WORDS, "We are committed to bringing American National Socialism, first created and embodied by our late Commander George Lincoln Rockwell, out of the past Phase One activities which at the time served their purpose well, and into the 21st century." The website contains several sections such as email, merchandise, history, etc. The ANP report area has reports dating back to July 2003. The ANP reports, which are released approximately biweekly, usually consist of appeals for members, contributions, and National Socialist ideology focusing heavily on "white worker's rights". The ) also affiliate themselves with Nazi beliefs as well as displaying Paraphernalia with the swastika on it. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
