Single Perpetrator Part 3: Hanau

“My children aren’t Germans. That’s why they killed them.” These disturbing words reflect the German reality of today as the far right continues to incite increasing violence. In peaceful Hanau, a “lone gunman” kills 9 people. We return to the scene of the terrorist act with the victims’ friends and families.

The government praises the police actions, but the survivors are certain that the police could have prevented the attack. Authorities didn’t react to letters the killer sent before the attack revealing his intentions. Meanwhile, the murders of immigrants and their offspring by lone wolves are on the rise, all linked by a similar scenario and the hatred stirred up by far-right politicians. Are immigrants becoming second-class citizens in Germany?
