Right-wing terror: Commemoration for NSU murder victims in Zwickau
As a years-long hideout for the NSU core trio, Zwickau is closely linked to the right-wing extremist terrorist cell. Now the city is commemorating its victims.
A commemoration is being held in Zwickau for the victims of the right-wing extremist terrorist cell Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund (NSU). The event includes a ceremony at the city's memorial site with flowers, candles, and paper cranes, and a tree has been planted in Schwanenteichpark for each of the ten victims. The NSU was responsible for a series of murders, including those of eight Turkish and one Greek small business owners, and a policewoman, as well as numerous robberies and bomb attacks.
The NSU's core trio, Uwe Böhnhardt, Uwe Mundlos, and Beate Zschäpe, lived in Zwickau for many years with a network of supporters before Böhnhardt and Mundlos took their own lives in 2011 and Zschäpe was sentenced to life in prison. A guided tour, called the Critical Walk, is also being offered in Zwickau to highlight the former residences of the core trio and their supporters.
