Publishing Co. Behind Nazi, Fascist Publications Run By Montgomery County Couple & Friend

The Southern Poverty Law Center revealed that the faces behind Antelope Hill Publishing are Montgomery County, Pa. residents.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — A civil rights nonprofit organization that tracks hate groups has come out this week and revealed that the three individuals behind a publication company that distributes books relating to Nazi and fascist topics are Montgomery County residents.

The Southern Poverty Law Center on Monday stated that the principals behind Antelope Hill Publishing, which specializes in translating historical works by Nazis, fascists and ultranationalists, as well as original works by contemporary white nationalists, neo-fascists and other members of the far-right community, are married couple Vincent and Sarah Cucchiara, of Green Lane Borough, and their friend, Dmitri Anatolievich Loutsik, most recently of Harleysville.

The organization said that the three individuals were identified using a combination of public records, podcast recordings, commercial data services and other documents and online materials.

"Since 2020, Antelope Hill has profited from hate by translating historical works by 20th-century Nazis and fascists, offering a publishing platform to contemporary white power propagandists and shipping books around the world using selling platforms including Amazon," the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in its report.

The organization said that the Cucchiaras and Loutsik, all in their mid-20s, have a shared history as far-right activists dating back to their time as students at Penn State University in the late 2010s.

"The publishing operation is one aspect of their ongoing participation in the white power movement," the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote.

The Morning Call newspaper of Allentown interviewed experts who addressed the fact that the three individuals behind the publishing company attempted to conceal their true identities as they commenced their work up until the time they were outed.

In its mission statement on its website, Antelope Hill Publishing says that it "seeks to ensure history, culture and revolutionary ideas will be preserved in the written word and made easily accessible, fairly priced, and professionally published."

"The best refutation of historical revisionists is a clear statement of primary accounts — fighting the battle for minds from the printed page, instead of locked away in secret hard drives and foreign languages," the website states.

The company says it is "willing to take on books that other publishers would consider a reputational risk," and that it would publish books relating to "lost causes, righteous mercenaries, anonymous critics, freedom fighters, revolutionaries, and exiles."
