A group of eight Holocaust survivors drew parallels between the current political climate and that of Germany in the 1930s. Some of them condemned the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD).

Eight Holocaust survivors have urged young people to shun far-right parties and vote to protect democracy at the upcoming European Union elections.

“For millions of you, the European elections are the first election in your lives. For many of us, it could be the last,” read the open letter, unveiled in Berlin on Tuesday.

“We couldn’t stop it back then. But you can today,” the eight authors wrote.

        Homer Simpson isn’t an argument. I simply don’t follow your lead of framing anything and everything to do with Jewish people against the actions of the Israeli government.
        Most Jews don’t live in Israel, and (depending on how you count) 1/5 to 1/2 the people living in Israel aren’t Jews.

          But OP never said Jewish? I don’t know how to interpret the comment given that this is the internet but seemed more like a never again means never again for anyone kind of thing?
