The full title is HATE AND PROPAGANDA - Documentation of the Hate
Campaign Against the Scientology Community in Germany.  It was
published 1993 by Church of Scientology International.  There is another
more recent publication entitled THE RISE OF HATRED & VIOLENCE IN
GERMANY published by FREEDOM MAGAZINE which also gives instances of
harassment against Scientologists.

- During a 1993 concert in Stadt of Golden Bough, an American folk
singing group whose members are Scientologists, Christian Democratic
Union youth affiliate members marched to the stage with banners to
intimidate and ridicule the musicians.  Earlier a German magazine
printed a list of names of musicians who were Scientologists suggesting
boycotting all musicians on the "hit" list.  In the fall of 1991 the
Hamburg city government cancelled their contract at Hamburg's music
hall, as did the city of Celle due to their "connection" with the Church
of Scientology.

- The Kath's, a German family who got into Scientology in 1992, had
their 3 year old son ostracized from kindergarten after the head of the
kindergarten told other children not to play with him because he was a
Scientologist.  The father, Detlef, was forced out of his job at
Mecklenburge Insurance Company.  Detlef attempted to defend Scientology
at an anti-Scientology rally in Berlin, was called a "devil" and forced
to leave.

- Scientologist Klaus Kempe and his wife attempted for 7 years to adopt
a child, which was denied due to the fact that they were Scientologists.
They fought for 7 years in the courts but by the end of that time, the
issue became moot as both had passed the upper age limit allowed for
adoption.

- In 1992 the Commerz Bank of Hanover closed the business account of
Hubillus and Partners, a real estate business as "Mr. Kubillus is a
Scientologist."

- Stuttgart police who witnessed Frank Pass being threatened by a man
while handling out pamphlets, stood by and did nothing.  They then
seized the pamphlets, took him to police headquarters and fined him for
not carrying ID at all times.

The book draws parallels between the treatment of Scientologists and
other minorities in Germany now, as compared to the beginnings of the
Jewish persecution in Germany.  It's an interesting comparison.
