Jack Posobiec, a prominent alt-right activistand promoter of right-wingconspiracy theories, on Thursday posteda video attheAuschwitz-Birkenau Memorial in responseto a list the Anti-Defamation League compiled associating him withthe so-called alt-right movement.

It would be wise of the ADL to remember the history of what happened the last time people started going around making lists of undesirables, Posobiec said in the video posted on Twitter.

To make those accusations on the hallowed ground of Auschwitz is offensive and twisted and, unfortunately, proves the point about our research, an ADL spokesperson told TPM by email.

Posobiec, who describes himself on Twitter as a filmmaker, and recovering political operative and promoted the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, took exception to the ADLs listassociating him with thefar-right movement.

The ADL described the so-called alt-right movement as a segment of the white supremacist movement consisting of a loose network of racists and anti-Semites who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of politics that embrace implicit or explicit racist, anti-Semitic and white supremacist ideology.

It listed Posobiec as a member of the alt lite, a loosely-connected movement whose adherents generally shun white supremacist thinking, but who are in step with the alt right in their hatred of feminists and immigrants, among others.

Posobiec railed against the list on Twitter, where heaccused the ADL of targeting Trump supporters with hate lists and called the whos-who a death list.

Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, on Thursday accused the ADL of becoming a partisan witchhunt group by publishing the list and declared solidarity with Posobiec and Mike Cernovich, another Twitter troll included on the list.

Comparing those who disagree with him to Nazis is not a new tactic for Posobiec, who accused audience members ata New York production of Shakespeares Julius Caesar starring a figure resembling President Donald Trumpof making minister of propaganda for the Nazi regime Joseph Goebbels proud.

In May, Reuters reported that Posobiec received White House press credentials.

A Republican member of Congress apologized earlier in July for usingthe gas chambers at Auschwitz as a settingto promote the U.S. military.
