Despite repeatedly downplaying the horrors of the Holocaust, the far-right party has acquired some Jewish members who are drawn to its rhetoric against Muslim immigrants.

While there has been a series of violent attacks on Jews by Muslims in Germany recently and anti-Semitism incidents have increased overall in Germany, the majority of Jews, including the country’s leading Central Council of Jews in Germany, have warned about the AfD and its anti-Semitic tendencies.

The co-leader of Alternative for Germany earlier this year dismissed Germany’s Nazi era as a “speck of bird poop in more than 1,000 years of successful German history.” Last year, another prominent AfD member said Germany needs to perform a “180-degree turn” when it comes to remembering its past and said the Berlin memorial to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust is a “monument of shame.”
