Take it from a German Jew: The AfD and its supporters aren’t making Jews safer
Couple of days ago the entire Jewish community in the german state of Thuringia and the International Comittee of KZ Buchenwald survivors urged politicians in Thuringia not to vote for an AfD politician who is a known historical revisionist as vice speaker of the parlament.
Two days ago the former vice head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Michel Friedman who lost 50 members of his family in the Holocaust and whose parents were saved by Oskar Schindler, helt a speech during the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz and used it to warn Germany of the AfD.
Years ago, the entire Jewish community and all major Jewish orgs in Germany published a joint letter in which they called the AfD a “racist and anti-Semitic party” and “a danger to Jewish life.”
We're at a point at which Jews in Germany across the political spectrum come together and use their voices to raise awareness. Never again is now and this article explains why.
