In eastern Germany, youths embrace nationalism, extremism DW 06/29/2025
Briefly

In Dessau, eastern Germany, a significant rise in right-wing extremism and racism is evident, marked by graffiti and a changing youth culture. Authorities note an alarming trend: young people are becoming radicalized and embracing extremist views, often viewing them as socially acceptable or even cool. Graffiti of swastikas and pro-Hitler slogans is common, with young people openly glorifying Hitler and using right-wing slogans as part of their social interactions. Experts warn of the normalization of such radical attitudes, which have permeated school culture and youth gatherings.
In parts of rural eastern Germany, 'Nazi' has become part of pop culture... It's become cool to write out that song, 'Heil Hitler,' by US rapper Kanye on a wall.
Hitler is glorified big time! The Hitler salute is now a regular part of their school life... It doesn't matter what kind of music is playing.
