Recently available on Netflix: NSU German History X

[alcibiades_mystery]

It's a dramatized miniseries of a murder spree by German neo-Nazis that went by "National Socialist Underground" -- they were purportedly responsible for a string of murders of Turkish business owners from 2000-2006. The first episode (about an hour and a half) follows a group of young neo-Nazis; it centers on Beata, who is gradually integrated into the neo-Nazi world. The second episode tells the story of the daughter of the first Turkish murder victim, and her struggles with the police, who insisted on viewing her father's murder as a drug crime among Turkish immigrants.

Very interesting and timely, regardless of who the perpetrators of this München outrage happen to be. The first episode starts slowly, I'd say, but really grabs you by the 40 minute mark. The second episode seems much higher quality, as does the third.

Very good, in any case. I'd suggest it for anybody who wants to get a glimpse into conflicts in German society.

1. I put it in my queue a few days ago.

My sister is watching it and she asked me today if the first strike in Muenchen could be right wing supremacists. I agreed it was possible. The right wing hate groups are spreading around the globe like the plaque. Just look at what we are dealing with here.
