Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is projected to achieve significant gains in Sunday’s elections in Saxony-Anhalt, raising alarm within the Jewish community. The party faces ongoing accusations of antisemitism, leaving many Jews feeling increasingly vulnerable. This potential electoral success places the Jewish community in a difficult position, squeezed between a perceived lack of support from the left and the overt hostility of the right. The situation reflects a broader trend of rising extremism in Germany and the challenges facing Jewish life in the country. The outcome of the election is being closely watched as an indicator of the strength of far-right sentiment. Concerns center on the implications for security and the normalization of antisemitic views. This win would further beleaguer an already struggling Jewish population.
