Germany's Jewish community voices concerns over surge in support for anti-immigrant and far-right AfD party in regional election, just weeks after an anti-Semitic attack
Bjoern Hoecke, top co-candiate for Thuringian state elections of the far-right AfD party, reacts to the first forecasts of the results of the state elections in Thuringia, at the federal state parliamentin Erfurt, eastern Germany on October 27, 2019.
Charlotte Knobloch, a Holocaust survivor who heads Munich's Jewish community, said the fact that the party was able to garner such a strong score, shows "something fundamental has gone off the rails in our political system". "For survivors of German concentration camps, this strong increase in votes for the AfD is a new terrifying sign that raises fear of further consolidation of right-wing extremist trends and attitudes in Germany," he said.
