Rainer Höß, the grandson of the notorious commandant at Auschwitz, Rudolf Höß, is campaigning against far right parties in the elections taking place for the European Parliament.
The United Kingdom voted yesterday, Ireland votes today and the other EU countries vote on Sunday.
It is predicted that the far right could win up to 80 of the 751 seats in the new parliament.
Höß calls on everyone to get out and cast their vote: 'The fewer citizens who vote the better the chance of the far right. I know only too well what happened in Germany."
