A social media post from the Department of Labor is attracting criticism for appearing to echo a Nazi-era slogan from the early 20th century.

The department posted to X on Jan. 10, “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American.”

Dozens of users commented and reposted, expressing alarm and outrage over what they called an alarming echo of what the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum describes as one of the central slogans used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. That slogan is, “One People, One Realm, One Leader.”

    That feels like a bit of a stretch, is any post encouraging the country put differences aside and act as one people now anti semetic?

      … do you think we call them Nazis because we think they’re antisemitic?

          This is the part you’re referencing this part above right? It’s the “One Homeland” and “One Heritage” parts that really cause concern in the Reich rhetoric department. Particularly one heritage. America is famously a melting pot.
