How Kafka arise?
In the eighties of the last century were far-right political parties in the Netherlands for the first time since 1945 seriously on the rise. This new situation gave birth to large groups worry in society. In very different ways there was action taken against it: mass demonstrations to new legislation. Another new initiative was Kafka, a research group that strove to maximize good, reliable and useful information about getting extreme right above water. Kafka werd in 1988 Founded.

I read on Wikipedia that your name, Kafka, is an abbreviation for 'Collective Anti Fascist / Capitalist File, but I come to your website which abbreviation is not against, why is that?
Franz Kafka was a Czechoslovakian writer who chose to establish totalitarian systems in his book denounced. The name of our research group refers to Kafka. In the early nineties was to Kafka employees so often asked where the name stood for, while they used the abbreviation 'Collective Anti Fascist / Capitalist Archive' to get rid of this question. Sinds 1994 this abbreviation is not used anymore.
