Resurgence of the Far Right in 'Never Again' Germany

Germany has long been dedicated to reconciling with its Nazi past through countless memorials. The phrase 'Never again' has become synonymous with the nation's effort to atone for its actions during the Holocaust and World War II.

In a thought-provoking commentary, satirist Jan Böhmermann, often compared to America’s John Oliver, highlights how Germany's persistent yet superficial attempts to distance itself from its Nazi history may have inadvertently fueled the resurgence of far-right ideologies. This includes the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

As Germany gears up for federal elections, the fear of a neo-fascist revival looms large. The Alternative for Germany party is predicted to capture a significant portion of the electorate, potentially establishing itself as the second dominant force in the German parliament.
