The Globe and Mail: Will he be the next Zundel?

Paul Fromm has this to say about how this week's deportation of white supremacist Ernst Zundel will affect anti-Semitic and racist groups in Toronto: "It won't. "At all. For years, he hasn't been an active leader." Anti-racism groups may be relishing their victory over Mr. Zundel, who was deported to his native Germany on Tuesday, but Mr. Fromm says most white-supremacist groups didn't consider Mr. Zundel one of their own. "He was thought to be out of touch," he says. "He didn't like the T-shirts or the short hair, for example. "His cause has, however, united a lot of people. Ultimately, the experience has made us stronger." In the Toronto area, observers from both watchdogs and members of far-right groups say Mr. Fromm, a 56-year-old former schoolteacher and Zundel associate who lives in Rexdale, is attempting to rally groups on the extreme right using Mr. Zundel as a martyr.
