"Of course I'm a perpetrator", says Eberhard Schwarzer, a former Stasi employee from Frankfurt an der Oder, and I'm ashamed of it too. Frank Heymann from Leipzig adds: One resists for a long time, but today it is clear to me: the GDR rightly failed the way it was. Former employees of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) step in front of the camera to express their remorse and their respect for the victims.

Fri, Aug 19, 2022

The "Winzerclub" not far from Konrad Erben's home is a meeting place for neo-Nazis and the city of Jena is the starting point of the worst right-wing extremist murder series in recent German history. Although Konrad was still a child at that time, he still felt what it was like to grow up as a black child in a xenophobic environment. Today he conducts research on precisely those topics: extremism and radicalization. His academic career was not predetermined. Konrad had to fight his way up from secondary school to vocational school in his mid-20s. On each anniversary of the murder of a person or an assassination attempt by the NSU, Konrad Erben held commemorative events in Jena together with other committed people.

Tue, Dec 06, 2022

Voenix is a shaman and a well-known guy in the neo-pagan scene. He is often at events all over Germany, is an artist and author and runs his own YouTube channel. There he publishes films about topics and people from the pagan scene. Pagans believe in many gods, and they refer to the religions of old cultures such as the Norse world of gods. In search of meaning and orientation, a growing number of people are interested in these ancient myths and rites. They see neo-paganism as an alternative to the modern, consumer-oriented way of life. A religion that they feel to be closer to nature, more mysterious and more sensual than what is offered by the classic churches.
