German far-right party boycotts holocaust tribute

Members of a far-right German party boycotted a moment of silence at a state parliament held in honor of Nazi victims Wednesday, the 75th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's elevation to German chancellor.

The six lawmakers of the far-right National Democratic Party from the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania refused to rise from their seats during a moment of silence.

Lawmakers from other parties said they were disgusted with the boycott, causing the parliamentary session to be temporarily interrupted.
