On December 1, 2020, Deutsches Haus at NYU presented a panel discussion among Kathleen Belew, Christian Martin (moderator), Paul Middelhoff, and Cynthia Miller-Idriss on the rise of the far-right in Germany and the U.S., as part of the conference "Germany: An Inventory of the Now."
Far-right, white supremacist groups are on the rise both in Germany and the United States. Perhaps most troubling about this consolidation and fortification of far-right movements in both places, is their proximity to and infiltration of law enforcement and state institutions: In Germany, an elite special forces unit was disbanded after it became clear it had been infiltrated by far-right extremists, and a recent nationwide report found more than 1,400 cases of suspected far-right extremism among security services. In the U.S., law enforcement has actively downplayed domestic terrorist threats, in spite of clear evidence that a majority of terrorist plots in the United States this year were carried out by far-right groups. How did we get here? What factors have contributed to the rise of the far-right? And what might an approach to confronting right-wing extremism – both in the armed forces as well as in the general population - look like in Germany and the United States?
