Jewish Democratic Council compares Trump's America to 1930s Germany in new ad

The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) compared President Trump’s America to the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism in 1930s Germany in a new ad targeting Jewish voters in swing states.

The 30-second ad released Tuesday includes images and video footage from Nazi Germany in a split-screen with images and photos of Trump rallies in addition to examples of anti-Semitism and white supremacy in the U.S. since Trump took office.

“History shows us what happens when leaders use hatred and nationalism to divide their people,” the narrator says.

As anti-Semitism and white nationalism rise to dangerous levels in America, we are all less secure. It’s time to show that we've learned from the darkest moments in history. Hate doesn't stop itself. It must be stopped. Vote — our future depends on it."

The ad will target Jewish voters in states including Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to the JDCA.
