Felix Perrefort reported that Tillschneider referred to Jewish culture as part of German culture when asked about the AfD's position on Jewish life in Saxony-Anhalt. He described it as deeply rooted for centuries and referenced evidence of Jewish communities since late antiquity. Furthermore, Tillschneider spoke of a German-Jewish cultural symbiosis and announced plans to hold conversations with representatives of the Jewish community. Perrefort wrote that Tillschneider's response had nothing to do with extremism or National Socialism. He believed that the accusations brought to the public by public broadcasting and government parties all the way to the Chancellery were lies. He also doubted that Steinmeier or Klingbeil would have responded similarly confidently and sympathetically, and without diversity clichés, and recommended the interview. #AfD #JüdischesLeben #Kultur (translated)
