Virginia Kapić (born December 8, 1978) is a formerfar-rightDutch political activist ofDutch,Indonesian andCroatian descent. She was co-founder of theNational Alliance in the Netherlands. Before that she was active in theDutch People's Union (Nederlandse Volks-Unie, abbr. NVU) and theNew National Party (Nieuwe Nationale Partij, abbr. NNP).
Kapić was first noted when in late 2002 she was active under the nameHerr Doktor on thewhite nationalist internet forumStormfront.[1]
At the same time she became a member of the outspokenneo-Nazi party NVU. She left it after getting into a row with its leaderConstant Kusters, whom she first admired and then loathed. A few months later she became a member of the white nationalist party NNP where she became a board member of the party's youth group.[2]
In November 2003 she co-founded the National Alliance withJan Teijn. Kapić became party secretary and administrator of the website.
In 2004 she was named in the sixthMonitor Racism and Extreme-right by Jaap van Donselaar and Peter R. Rodrigues of theAnne Frank Foundation,[3] in which severalantisemitic remarks of her were cited. On the NA forum she wrote among others:"I believe that the Jews are a completely separatecreation. They are other than all other creations onMother Earth and to me they represent evil. Because they are evil, I would exterminate them like is done to cockroaches." A NA spokesperson said that the remarks were a 'youthful indiscretion' and that Kapić' viewpoints had become 'refined'.[2] She also said that"Jews don't belong in Europe and they can only live here because (we) the whites, allow them to exist."[4]
In March of 2005 Kapić was arrested inBelgium together with a fellow party member when she participated in aparamilitary training camp of the Flemish neo-Nazi groupBloed, Bodem, Eer en Trouw (Blood, Soil, Honor and Loyalty). The group patrolled the surroundings wearing masks, battledresses and carrying night vision equipment. During a police raid, Nazi propaganda materials and stabbing weapons were confiscated.[5]
Shortly after being arrested Kapić resigned as NA party secretary. She stayed active in the background and would act as a liaison between the National Alliance and the British-originated network ofBlood & Honour. She also called upon party supporters to follow the example of terror suspectsSamir Azzouz andMohammed Bouyeri. Later she explained that she meant"taking an example of having a rock solid faith."
In december 2008 she released a book, titledDe Ongeliefde Waarheid (The Unloved Truth), in which she made more antisemitic remarks (e.g."they (the Jews) control themedia and rule theUS.") and alsodenied the Holocaust (e.g."(there exist) no documents thatAdolf Hitler and his people ever gave the order that Jews should begassed." and that"(Hitler) wanted to get rid of them through bullying, which later resulted in concentration camps where work was done" to which she added"labor is ennobling.")[6]
Kapić was born inRotterdam on December 8, 1978 of Indo[7]/Croatian[8] background and speaksDutch andCroatian.[citation needed] She identifies as aveganChristian on her Facebook profile.[9]
