Germany: Protesters denounce AfD supporters at Holocaust memorial event
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
A group of protesters tried to confront the supporters of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) at the commemoration event in memory of the victims of the Holocaust in Berlin's Marzahn district on Saturday, just two days ahead of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The protesters who denounced the presence of the AfD supporters were filmed marching and later trying to break through the police cordon with flags of the Auschwitz concentration camp and placards reading No space for far-right agitation.
The demonstration was organised by the Union of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime and the Antifa movement under the motto No commemorations to the Nazi victims with the AfD.
Earlier this week, Volkhard Knigge, director of the Buchenwald Memorials Foundation, banned the AfD politicians from attending a commemoration event at the site of the former Buchenwald concentration camp on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Places to see in ( Leipzig - Germany )
Leipzig is a city in the eastern German state of Saxony. On central Marktplatz, the Renaissance old town hall houses the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Leipzig, chronicling city history. Composer J.S. Bach is buried in the late-Gothic St. Thomas Church, known for concerts by its boys’ choir. St. Nicholas Church was a meeting point for the “Monday Demonstrations,” which led to the 1989 overthrow of communism.
'Hypezig!' cry the papers, 'the New Berlin', says just about everybody. Yes, Leipzig is Saxony's coolest city, a playground for nomadic young creatives who have been displaced even by the fast-gentrifying German capital, but it's also a city of enormous history, a trade-fair mecca and solidly in the sights of music lovers due to its intrinsic connection to the lives and work of Bach, Mendelssohn and Wagner.
To this day, one of the world's top classical bands (the Gewandhausorchester) and oldest and finest boys' choirs (the 800-year-old Thomanerchor) continue to delight audiences. When it comes to art, the neo-realistic New Leipzig School has stirred up the international art world with such protagonists as Neo Rauch and Tilo Baumgärtel for well over 10 years. Leipzig is known as the Stadt der Helden (City of Heroes) for its leading role in the 1989 ‘Peaceful Revolution’ that led to the reunification of Germany.
Leipzig acquired the nickname Klein Paris (Little Paris) in the 18th century, when it became a center of a classical literary movement largely led by the German scholar and writer Johann Christoph Gottsched. The city is also the home of the Nikolaikirche (Church of St. Nicholas) – the starting point of peaceful demonstrations against the communist regime which led to German Reunification. The collapse of communism hit Leipzig's economy very heavily (as did communism itself), but after being on the mend for over twenty years, it has emerged as one of the success stories of the New German States.
Traces of Leipzig's history are everywhere: the ring of streets around the city center marking the former course of the city wall, the city trade houses, abandoned and repurposed industrial buildings in Plagwitz, small town structures in the outskirts where surrounding towns were incorporated during phases of rapid growth, the battlefields of the Napoleonic wars in the south and southeast of the city, and much, much more.

Learning History’s Lessons at Zeppelin Field
Fascism is in the news these days: White-supremacist groups are waving their flags, blustery strong men with a disregard for the norms of democratic governing are using the same playbook that worked for dictators a century ago, and Europeans who thought a repeat was not possible are now looking with a wary eye at countries sliding to the extreme right. (Of course, we’re not talking Holocaust-type fascism, but an ideological cousin — built on fear and promises — that can lead a society astray.)
We’re in Nürnberg, filming an hour-long doc on fascism that will air next September on public television. We need to take advantage of the buildings and artifacts that survive from the Reich (“empire”), which Hitler boasted would last a thousand years (which lasted from 1933 to 1945). Much was destroyed by WWII bombs, but Zeppelin Field, where Hitler held his enormous rallies, remains. In this clip, we visit the rally ground’s Golden Hall — the best surviving Hitler interior I've seen.

Erwin ROMMEL Memorial Germany Heidenheim Afrikakorps
Erwin Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defense Force) of Nazi Germany during World War II, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany.
Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, the Desert Fox. Among his British adversaries he had a reputation for chivalry, and his phrase war without hate has been used to describe the North African campaign.[2] He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
Rommel supported the Nazi seizure of power and Adolf Hitler, although his reluctant stance towards antisemitism and Nazi ideology and his level of knowledge of the Holocaust remain matters of debate among scholars.[3][4][5][6][7] In 1944, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Due to Rommel's status as a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly instead of immediately executing him, as many other plotters were. Rommel was given a choice between committing suicide, in return for assurances that his reputation would remain intact and that his family would not be persecuted following his death, or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose the former and committed suicide using a cyanide pill.[8] Rommel was given a state funeral, and it was announced that he had succumbed to his injuries from the strafing of his staff car in Normandy.
Rommel has become a larger-than-life figure in both Allied and Nazi propaganda, and in postwar popular culture, with numerous authors considering him an apolitical, brilliant commander and a victim of the Third Reich although this assessment is contested by other authors as the Rommel myth. Rommel's reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interest of the West German rearmament and reconciliation between the former enemies – the United Kingdom and the United States on one side and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. Several of Rommel's former subordinates, notably his chief of staff Hans Speidel, played key roles in German rearmament and integration into NATO in the postwar era. The German Army's largest military base, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, is named in his honour.
