Born July 7, 1927
Madole founded the National Renaissance Party in New York New York, United
City in 1948. The name was inspired by Adolf Hitler's "Last States
Political Testament" before his suicide, which hoped for a Died May 6, 1979
"radiant renaissance" for Nazism.[3] (aged 51)
New York, United
Madole at the time was "a balding shipping clerk in his mid-
forties who lived with his mother, a raving anti-Semite", States
according to Martin A. Lee, and Madole "could be seen
haranguing some two dozen followers in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, where many German
immigrants lived". The group wore Nazi storm-trooper uniforms and drew hecklers, leading to
fistfights.[3] In 1964, Madole and seven other neo-Nazis were convicted of trying to incite a riot at a
civil rights demonstration. Each of them, including Madole, were sentenced to one to two years in
prison.[4][5]

Another description of Madole is provided by Peter Levenda: "Madole was a relatively congenial
human being in polite company. Completely bald, he bore a scar that he claimed was the result of a
brick thrown at him by a demonstrator… He possessed a thorough knowledge of the war and was
fascinated by stories of the heroism shown by German troops in combat, particularly against the
Russian Army. He had a serious junk food habit, downing enormous quantities of ice cream and
milk shakes, and grinned (or grimaced?) at inappropriate times…"[6]

The National Renaissance Party ended in 1981, with the death of Madole's mother, Grace Hartung
Madole.

Beliefs
Madole was influenced by Aryanism and Hinduism. He wrote that the Aryan race was of great
antiquity and had been worshipped worldwide by lower races as "White Gods". Madole also wrote
that the Aryans originated in the Garden of Eden located in North America.[7] He also believed that
America was the "new Atlantis" and "the cradle of a new God like race".[8]
A central tenet of Madole's ideology was space travel, believing that "the future of Man lies in the
stars". Madole was one of the few to accept Francis P. Yockey's argument that Soviet Bolshevism
had preserved traditional values more than western liberalism, and that communism was not
supported by Judaism.
