Twenty years ago in Lichtenhagen, a suburb of Rostock (a city in Germany's north-east region), the attacks of a racist mob against the "central admissions office for asylum requests" escalated to the biggest pogrom after the German reunification...

Y'day afternoon in Rostock-Lichtenhagen: About 5000 people - mainly young antifacsist actvists from Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin (*) - commemorated with a demonstration the victims of the pogrom and all the people affected by racist and neo-nazi violence. But the protest was also directed against the current racist policy in the entire European Union.

* The residents of Lichtenhagen, in their majority, opposed the demonstration... No surprise! Many of them supported/joined the pogrom...
