The AfD and reckoning with Germany’s Nazi past | BBC News

For the first time since World War Two, a far-right party has made a significant win in Germany, taking almost 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has been labelled as “right-wing extremist” by domestic intelligence, is leading the national polls. Among its pledges at a state level are to defund “anti-German" art and teach children less about Hitler, as part of a “patriotism” agenda. This idea challenges the deeply held and decades-long German memory culture that insists people must never forget the Nazis’ crimes. The AfD describes German memory culture in its manifesto as a "guilt complex". BBC Berlin correspondent Jessica Parker talks us through the complexities of remembering Germany’s past, and the controversial ways in which the AfD wants to shape its future. 0:00 - 0:45 Introduction 0:45 - 2:05 Jess Parker tells us about the recent state election in Saxony-Anhalt 2:05 - 4:13 How has a far-right party won? 4:13 - 5:21 Are the AfD far-right and what does that mean? 5:21 - 7:45 Who is the leader of the AfD? 7:45 - 10:10 Who are the core supporters of the AfD and where do they come from? 10:10 - 12:24 Why did the AfD succeed in Saxony-Anhalt? 12:24 - 15:43 The significance of the Der Spiegel article on Ulrich Siegmund 15:43 - 20:09 How does the AfD want to revisit German memory culture? 20:09 - 22:33 What are the major concerns from voters? 22:33 - 24:58 How do the AfD plan to change memory culture? 24:58 - 26:46 What happens next for Germany? 26:46 - 30:32 What does this mean for Friedrich Merz?
