Give the young people a future perspective and a possebility to have a job in fair conditions, and the problem for the most will shrink dramatically again. It is not by random chance that neonazism is strong in those areas of Germany where the economic future is grim and availability of jobs is low. Poverty is good hunting ground for extremists - political and religious as well. The strength of the alpha wolf needs the weakness of the others.
Anti-Semitism and Neo-Nazism will never be zero, though. If it would remain at controllable and non-threatening levels, we should be satisfied, I think - pragmatism.
