Herkesin Meydanı looks back on the Tribunal in Cologne. Together we take a look at a few highlights and discuss: What has changed in 10 years, and what can we look back on?
The NSU Tribunal (officially Tribunal „NSU-Komplex auflösen“) was a symbolic tribunal of activists and artists as well as relatives and people affected by racist violence. The first major tribunal took place over five days in 2017 in Cologne and addressed the racist murders and the attacks carried out by the NSU, as well as their media, legal and public reappraisal. At the centre of the tribunal was a joint indictment by everyone.
The initiative „Herkesin Meydanı – Platz für alle“ came together in 2019 to actively campaign for the erection of the memorial on Keupstraße. Parts of the initiative look back on a shared history, as some of them were also involved in the 2017 Tribunal.
