This calls for some serious Googling.

Here's a tip of the iceberg from The New York Times, Op-Ed page, November 19, 1988:

Will Bush Purge Nazi Collaborators in the G.O.P.?
by Russell C. Bellant

The campaign may be over, but George Bush still needs to say what he plans
to do with the 20-year-old Republican Heritage Groups Council, the ethnic
outreach arm of the Republican National Committee. There is substantial
evidence to suggest that the council was founded and continues to be led by
people and organizations that collaborated with the Nazi occupation of
Eastern Europe during the Second World War.

<...>

Mr. Bush defends Mr. Galdau, Mr. Pasztor, Mr. Guarino and Mr. Slavoff as
innocent of all accusations of collaboration and insists they are all
honorable men. But the historical record belies his assertions.

The G.O.P. for decades has misread ethnic America's concerns about crime,
employment, anti-ethnic discrimination and the future of its youth. It has
offered instead the fascism and ethnic prejudices of the Heritage Council,
which focuses primarily on funding Radio Free Europe and stopping Justice
Department prosecutions of war criminals who illegally entered the country.

As the chairman of the Republican National Committee in the early years of
the council, and now as head of the Republican Party and President-elect,
Mr. Bush owes Americans a complete explanation.

(Russell C. Bellant is author of a recent study of the role of right-wing
emigres in the Republican Party and the Reagan Administration.)


Ethnic outreach arm of the Republican National Committee, huh? Why would it not surprise me if there were some sort of voter disenfranchisement wrapped up in this too?
