Automated excerpt
Hackers have published 281 GB of AfD emails as AI summaries, showing widespread antisemitism, racism, violent fantasies and alleged financial misconduct. A vast archive of hacked emails from the AfD was published online on Monday: 281 GB containing 421,179 internal party emails. In email after email, party supporters use racist slurs and share antisemitic theories of Jewish world domination; there are jokes about turning refugees into handbags and boots, discussions of whether refugees should be shot at the border, a Christmas card sent with a swastika and “Heil Hitler”, and an email thread signed off with “Heil und Sieg”.
