why this german photographer wishes more of the berlin wall had stayed up after communism collapsed. but 1st another story from here in germany about music neo nazi music because it turns out the far right music industry share is growing and concert organizers have all kinds of tricks for getting around germany's strict laws on hate speech but you can get public funding for their events by registering as political demonstrations there's a new documentary just out on german television about the neo nazi roxy and we've got this short look at it. the quiet town of tame mob in eastern germany is home to just around 3000 people but 2 years ago tame became notorious as the location of one of the biggest nazi gathering since germany lost world war 2 a far right music festival with 6000 visitors. it is unfortunate this

convinced that something would happen at some point and i always said they can't paint a scene forever that. was from my niece germany from my childhood onwards it was self evident as there was a wall and that bent wherever you went north south east west or even to the coast at some point you could go no further the idea of leaving and going to the west was not an unusual one for east germans but doing so had serious consequences. at this point i would have thought that my mother wouldn't be able to visit me regularly was so painful that i didn't pursue the idea further this isn't help but didn't file which my pets were for for even after the berlin wall fell it became his main subject help us all i tried to photograph the wall in its original state that the window of opportunity was quite limited only around 14 days at 1st people kept yelling at me you can't photograph here 2 weeks later they were hacking huge holes
