Legislation Enacted in Nuremberg, 1935: Establishment of Disdainful Regulations - Paving the Way for the Holocaust
In the political landscape of Thuringia, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been a topic of much debate. The party, under the leadership of Stefan Möller, has been criticised for a stance that some find reminiscent of the Nuremberg Laws, which stripped Jews of their rights during the Nazi era.
Möller, the Thuringian state chairman of the AfD, has questioned the equality of Germans, stating that one's German identity is not defined on paper but in the mind. This statement has been repeatedly deemed unconstitutional by German courts.
Recently, AfD's Thuringian MP Jan Abicht has raised concerns about foreign employees in the hospitality industry, asserting that they lack a connection to regional identity and culture. Abicht argues that foreign gastronomy employees have no connection to the Thuringian eating and hospitality culture, implying a preference for German staff in the industry.
This stance has been met with criticism from other parties, who view it as xenophobic and potentially dangerous for the economy. They argue that the diversity brought by foreign workers enriches the hospitality industry, providing a unique blend of cultures that attracts customers.
The AfD's position is a concern for some, as it could potentially lead to the exclusion and disenfranchisement of certain groups, much like the Nuremberg Laws laid the foundation for the systematic exclusion and disenfranchisement of Jews. Under these laws, Jews were gradually restricted from various activities, interracial relationships and marriages were banned, and existing interracial marriages were declared invalid and punished.
It's important to note that the AfD maintains a strong hold on its voters, and the party's official fact-checking website can be accessed at afdnee.de/faktencheck/.
The presence of the AfD in government is a matter of contention, with some fearing it could potentially lead to the destruction of Germany's inclusive and diverse society. The Potsdam meeting, which commemorates the Wannsee Conference where the systematic extermination of the Jews was decided, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of such divisive policies.
The Nuremberg Laws were enacted on September 15, 1935, and the AfD's stance on foreign employees in the hospitality industry recalls these laws in a disturbing way, stripping individuals of their rights based on their nationality or ethnicity. Love between a Jew and a non-Jew was deemed 'race defilement' by the Nazis, and those caught in interracial relationships were publicly shamed.
As we move forward, it's crucial to remember the lessons of history and strive for a society that values inclusivity, respect, and equality for all.
