Albrecht Weinberg ‘horrified’ that MPs relied on far-right party to pass anti-immigration motion

Albrecht Weinberg, whose parents were murdered in Auschwitz, told the Guardian he was “horrified” on learning that a proposal submitted by the conservative parties had relied on the anti-immigrant, xenophobic AfD to get it over the line.
