In Germany's recent elections, a far-right, anti-immigration party claimed its first state victory since WWII.
The country has spent decades reckoning with its Nazi history, but far-right extremism and violent plots, particularly targeting Jews, Muslims, and immigrants, have been on the rise.
This environment has paved the way for the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party to gain political ground.
This week on Four Corners, filmmaker Evan Williams investigates the rise of the AfD and far-right extremism in Germany.
He speaks to intelligence officers, political figures, and victims of far-right violence and asks how did this happen?
Germany’s Enemy Within reported by Evan Williams went to air on Monday 23 September at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
