The far right

Excellent column in The Irsh Times today about the advance of the far right across western democracies.

Alexandra Senfft, a German journalist, whose father experienced the Hitler horror, writes about how we are forgetting what happened.

Her grandfather, Hans Ludin was Hitler's ambassador to Slovakia. He was later executed for war crimes.

She singles out Germany's AfD party. But it's happening everywhere. Happening in the churches too, a palpable arrogance that 'we know best'.

Tomi Reichental features in an RTE Television documentary this evening.
