Far Right Wreaths and the Ghosts of Hitler's Past The recent incident at a memorial event in Berlin marking the 82nd anniversary of the failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler has raised questions about the limits of democratic tolerance.
Tobias Korenke, a descendant of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a prominent anti Nazi theologian, attempted to remove a wreath left by the far right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) from the memorial site.
The AfD's presence at the event was not unusual, given its recent surge in popularity. The party claims to be patriotic and democratic, but its actions often contradict these claims.
