Apparently our German brothers and sisters are leading the way to a better future. They're actually pushing back in big numbers against the rising tide of fascism in our world. We all need to take notes. Having a bunch of far right, authoritarian governments all over the world during the next financial crisis would be a disaster.
More than 100,000 people have been marching in the German capital Berlin to protest against xenophobia and the increasing influence of the far right.
Rights groups organised the rally, as marchers held placards reading "Indivisible" and "United against racism".
The BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin says even the organisers seemed surprised by the turnout.
Support for the anti-immigration AfD party has risen in recent years.
The Alternative for Germany entered parliament for the first time last year, becoming the biggest opposition party, and is expected to make a strong showing in elections in the southern state of Bavaria on Sunday.
