Photo above: Flag of Club 88, where "h" is the eighth letter in the alphabet and HH stands for Heil Hitler.  The many Club 88s currently all around Germany are a visible manifestation both of the resurgence of neo-Nazism and of a wash of specifically anti-Jewish sentiment. German politicians, newspaper publishers and public fora are generally careful to avoid discussing this movement.
