Alice Weidel, leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, claimed in early February that her party was attracting Jewish members in the “four-digit range.”The AfD is a major political force and is running second in the polls ahead of an election on Sunday, but is Weidel’s claim of Jewish support really true? If so, that would be remarkable development in a country with Germany’s Nazi past and a Jewish community of approximately 125,000.
