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.”

        Ah gotcha, my interpretation of “One Heritage” is maybe generous in that it’s that regardless of where you were originally from you’re American
