Frankfurt am Main, Hessen
"Where were you in Hanau, where, where?"
About 3,000 people took to the streets in Frankfurt am Main on Thursday evening to commemorate the racist attack in Hanau a year ago.
At a rally in front of the main train station, demonstrators carried pictures of those killed.
Protester
»We will remember the victims, we will not leave it at that. We will take a proactive stand against hatred and violence in this country. "
The participants in the rally demand a stronger discussion of racism and right-wing extremism - Hanau was not an isolated case.
In the attack on February 19, 2020, a 43-year-old right-wing extremist German killed nine people with foreign roots in two bars in Hanau.
The police and numerous officers were on site at the demonstration, and the protest remained peaceful.
