In New York, a Nazi-based enclave operates where homes are sold only to Germans.

The summer bungalow’s enclave, where people who sympathize with the Nazis once took to the streets, named after Adolf Hitler and other leaders of the Third Reich, is forced to stop policies restricting the right to own real estate in this area exclusively by people of German origin.

The German-American Settlement League, which in 1930-ies welcomed the pro-Nazi marches in east Long Island, settled the anti-discrimination case filed by the state of New York, writes Fox News.

The settlement calls for a change in the managerial composition of the league and the adherence of its activities to the norms of the state and US housing laws.

Many residents of a small settlement from 40 houses, which are part of the village of Yafank, refused to comment, but those who agreed denied their community’s involvement in discrimination and stated that among the inhabitants of their settlement, people of different nationalities could be found, as in any other community USA.

Homes here are a mix of small bungalows and suburban ranches. The lawns are carefully trimmed, and the mailboxes contain mostly German names.

In the press you can find information about the wave of Nazism in this enclave before the beginning of the Second World War. The community was sponsored by the German-American Bund to promote Hitler’s ideas.

German festivals with a Nazi slant were regularly held in Yafanka, in an article New York Times from 1938, it was reported that about 40 thousands of people annually participated in these events.

According to historians, swastikas were common, including in some houses of the enclave of the time, as evidenced by archival photos.

New York began proceedings against the enclave in 2016 after two former residents of the settlement stated that the property restriction policy of the German-American Settlement League did not allow them to sell their homes.

Then the situation was resolved, the plaintiffs received 175 thousands of compensation and were able to sell their homes.

But after that, the discrimination by the League did not stop.

The League owns the land on which the houses are located, and leases the property to homeowners. In the League public advertising of properties for sale is prohibited. Its members who wish to sell their homes should announce this at a meeting of the members of the organization and they will be distributed in closed groups.

Members of the Council of the League recognize that most sales of houses in the enclave are in fact carried out within the framework of the League through personal agreements between its members.

Property prices range from $ 95 thousand for a small bungalow to $ 300 thousand.

The state authorities require the League to immediately change management and report on compliance with the requirements of state and US legislation regarding the rental and sale of housing, as prescribed by the court in 2016 year.
