Summary

In Dresden, February 13th is dominated every year by the remembrance of the Allied bombing on the city in 1945. While some reach out their hands in reconciliation, others march with torches through the city center. Right groups have been mobilizing their supporters since the 1990s. The march in February became the biggest one in Europe – until it was successfully blocked for the first time in 2010. As the world's understanding of the political right shifts further into the general norm, right wing actions around February 13th have increased in popularity again.
