Act 1, Scene 4: A Nazi Utopia Outside, the snow is turning to slush. But inside the hotel spirits are high. Gernot Mörig is telling guests how he is normally a rather pessimistic type, but today he is feeling hopeful. And that's thanks in part to Sellner's "masterplan". The masterplan even includes a destination to "move people to", a so-called "model state" in North Africa, that would apparently provide space for up to two million people.

Sellner's concept is eerily reminiscent of the Nazi's 1940 plan to deport four million Jews to the island of Madagascar. It is unclear whether Sellner had this historical parallel in mind when devising his plan. It may also be mere coincidence that the organisers of the event chose a location less than 8 kilometres away from the villa where the Wannsee Conference took place the meeting where the Nazis coordinated the systematic extermination of the Jews. Back in the hotel, Sellner turns to another inflammatory topic for the far-right, the problem of the so-called "ethnic vote". He's even registered the term as a domain name. According to Sellner, the problem is "not just that foreigners live here. They also vote here." "Ethnic voting" means that immigrants are likely to vote for "immigration-friendly" parties.

The events in the Potsdam hotel make clear how the strategies of various far-right actors and organisations intertwine. Sellner provides the ideas, the AfD politicians take them on and bring them to the party. Others in the background take care …
