37:14Now PlayingThis week's Berlin Briefing takes a closer look at how Germany remembers the Holocaust and why it's in the crosshairs of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Comments by a leading AfD lawmaker have reignited debate around "remembrance culture." Björn Höcke, the party's controversial leader in the state of Thuringia, rejects the long-held idea of German collective guilt, instead laying blame for the Holocaust solely with the Nazi dictatorship. Along with Melanie Amann, author of "Fear for Germany: The truth about the AfD" and social scientist Jakob Schergaut, host Michaela Küfner explores why his remarks are so controversial - and how the far right is seeking to rewrite history.
