PoliticsHow a Jewish heir is taking on Germany’s far-right AfD

The Alternative for Germany has strong backing in eastern states and is featuring the Schwalbe moped, a cultural icon of the former GDR, in its campaign. The Jewish heir of the company that made the moped is now challenging the party’s use of it. He is seeking to defend his family’s legacy as the AfD draws on the symbol for political support.
