Bettina Göring sees parallels to the Weimar Republic in current political developments.
She warns against the AfD – and calls for tact.
Munich - “I see the same playbook”: For the grandniece of the Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring (1893-1946), there are clear parallels between the rise of the AfD and the development a good 100 years earlier.
Everything will be brought out again.
“And this final solution, these guys who want to throw everyone out: That’s exactly how it started with the Nazis,” said Bettina Göring in a podcast from the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and the “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland”.
Göring, who recently published her book “The Good Uncle.
My Damned German Heritage”, but at the same time also calls for more tact in dealing with AfD voters: “If you say: You are the Nazis, you are the devils, you will get nowhere.”
Hermann Göring's great-niece warns against the AfD: "The Jews will definitely join in too"
Göring's comments come at a time when, according to surveys, the AfD is considered the second strongest political force, as the ZDF political barometer has now determined.
According to the survey, the topic of right-wing extremism in particular has increased significantly in importance and is now in second place among the most important problems in Germany, just behind the topic of migration.
For Göring's great-niece, she resorted to the National Socialists' strategies for mass expulsion of minorities.
“Right now it is the Africans who want to throw them out.
Then the Muslims.
The Jews will definitely come too.
Or maybe the gays and lesbians,” Göring said in the podcast.

Deportation of minorities: Nazis discussed Madagascar plan
Background: With the beginning of the Second World War, the National Socialists planned the deportation of minorities.
One of their attempts was the so-called Madagascar Plan, which was discussed in 1940.
This plan called for the resettlement of four million European Jews to the island of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa, which was still a French colony at the time.
Almost a year and a half later, on January 20, 1942, the Wannsee Conference took place.
Leading representatives of the SS, the NSDAP and the ministerial bureaucracy came together to discuss the so-called “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” – the organization of the systematic mass murder of millions of the Jews of Europe.
Bettina Göring praises demos against the right: “I’m happy to see that so many people are standing up”
The trained alternative practitioner Bettina Göring rarely talks about her great-uncle.
In an interview with the
SZ
a few years ago, she said about the legacy of the Göring name: “The Nazi past in the family is certainly much easier to process if you are a little further away and not a direct descendant.” Given the hundreds of thousands of people in Germany, who are taking part in the “demonstrations against the right”, she has hope that the picture she sketched will not become reality: “I am happy to see that so many people are standing up.
It seems like something bad has to happen before people wake up.”

According to the ZDF political barometer, the demonstrations against right-wing extremism are met with great approval among the population: 79 percent think they are good.
38 percent believe that these protests, which are also directed against the AfD, are weakening the party.
