2/27/15, "Madonna: Atmosphere of intolerance in Europe 'feels like Nazi Germany'," Jerusalem Post staff
"Internationally-recognized pop music sensation Madonna on Thursday said
anti-Semitism and "growing intolerance" in Europe, and especially in
France, has reached a level that "feels like Nazi Germany."
During
an interview with Europe 1 radio that is set to be aired in-full on
Friday morning, the pop diva said "anti-Semitism is at an all-time
high," in France and Europe.
Setting aside a fall off-stage
during a performance at the Brit Awards Wednesday night in London, the
56-year-old star expressed her concern over the "climate of extreme
fear" that she said has surfaced across the European continent, and
which she likened to the era during the rise of German fascism.
"We are going through crazy times and it reminds me of Nazi Germany," Madonna told the radio network.
Madonna
lamented that the spirit of freedom and celebration of diversity that
she stated she had previously observed in France is now "completely
gone."
"France was once a country that accepted people of color,
and was a place artists escaped to, whether it was Josephine Baker or
Charlie Parker," AFP quoted her as saying."
