history: The Bund der Verfolgten des Naziregimes (BVN) is a German anti-communist union of Nazi persecutees. A result of a secession from the left-wing Vereinigung der Verfolgten des Naziregimes (VVN) it had been founded in West Germany in 1950. The BVN’s political bias focused on a liberal-conservative milieu. See Beaugrand, G.,‘Zeitzeuge am Redaktionstisch.
