Miss Hitler beauty pageant contestant who called herself ‘Aryan Angel’ and boasted she was ‘white, pure-blooded female’ is exposed by Nazi hunters as a 42-year-old mother from Oxford
Miss Hitler beauty pageant contestant who called herself ‘Aryan Angel’ and boasted she was ‘white, full-blooded woman’ is exposed by Nazi hunters as a 42-year-old Oxford mother
A middle-aged mother from Oxford has been exposed by the world’s largest Nazi hunting organization as a participant in a ‘Miss Hitler’ beauty pageant.
Participants in the online contest, which aims to promote “healthy Hitlerian competition,” use pseudonyms to disguise their identities.
But the US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) has exposed the British newcomer – who calls herself Miss Aryan Angel and is a favorite to win – as 42-year-old Sarah Mountford, a member of the far-right group Britain First.
The competition is organized by the popular Russian social media website VKontakte, known as VK. It allows users to vote for their favorite female admirers of the Nazi leader, with this year’s winner announced on September 3.
Ms. Mountford says in her personal statement on the competition site that she is a “straight, white, full-blooded woman with a desire to return to traditional ways.” In accordance with nature. Blood and soil. Ancestors and honor. Our people are important.’

Before moving to Oxford two years ago, Ms. Mountford, a mother of three, lived in a flat in a fashionable area of Brighton, where she was born and raised.
She told the MoS last night: ‘It was really just a bit of fun, a spontaneous event. It was not my intention to upset anyone.
“It’s not like I’m getting a crown, it’s more like a poll. I’ll try to remove it.
‘My views are not extreme, you hear the same thing at every bus stop.’
She added, “He (Hitler) has been dead for a long time. I didn’t think about the impact his name still has.’
A page urging people to ‘vote and support Miss Aryan Angel’ features a frowning photo of Ms Mountford amid Nazi imagery, including swastikas.
The SWC is a Jewish human rights organization named after Wiesenthal, the famous extermination camp survivor who helped track down more than a thousand Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichmann, a major architect of the Holocaust.
The SWC’s director of global social action, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, said: “This is part of an ongoing effort to whitewash the heinous crimes of Nazism, to rewrite history to legitimize a monster that plunged into darkness and committed a genocide that killed six million Jews, including 1.5 million children.
“There should be zero tolerance for this outrageous campaign across all social media platforms.”
In the past, the social media page on VK, which promoted past matches, was shut down following complaints, but the SWC said it has now become impossible to get in touch with the administrators.
