  "account": "Charlotte Knobloch, the head of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde für München und Oberbayern, has drawn parallels between the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). Speaking to the magazine \"Stern,\" the 93-year-old emphasized, \"The Nazis of that time looked different, wore uniforms, and were organized differently. They made it clear from the beginning what they intended and what their politics would look like. Everyone could have known.\" She further stated when asked about comparing the AfD to the NSDAP's rise in the 1930s, \"We cannot equate the two, but we should compare them.\"\n\nThe 93-year-old made her remarks just a few weeks before crucial state elections. In Saxony-Anhalt on September 6th, the AfD is projected to secure a position as the sole governing party. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where polling takes place on September 20th, the AfD also leads in the surveys. Nationwide, the party is currently the dominant force according to recent polls.\n\nKnobloch noted, \"The NSDAP once started small and tried everything possible. Exactly the same thing is happening with the AfD: Its politicians test what is permissible. And we see: They grow more radical as they gain strength.\" She added, \"In many areas, I see no difference anymore from the NSDAP, before it came to power. I have witnessed many disastrous parties, the NPD, Republicans, DVU. None was as dangerous as the AfD is now.\"",
