The Aftermath Quotes

“The ideology virus is still alive today and all far-right parties are exactly the same as the Nazis. They never switched rules. They use horrible phrases to influence young people and say that minorities steal jobs and space. Just like the Nazis did with the Jews. They find effective and silent ways to spread their hate to others. But now they are not just talking about Jews, now the target is much bigger.”

“I’m a Berliner first and a German second, Gerlinde. I grew up in this city. You haven’t the slightest idea how free and vibrant it was before Hitler came to power and obliterated everything that made it the very heart of Europe – cosmopolitan, accepting every walk of life and every gender no matter how fluid, a home to refugees and a watering spot to the European intelligentsia. And he came and ruined it all. I never forgave him that.”
