10. Close of sign showing graphic with arrow, reading (German): "Attacks, 24% more"
11. SOUNDBITE (German) Judith Porath, managing director of the Association of Counselling Centres for Victims of Right-Wing, Racist and Antisemitic Violence:
“The 40% increase in anti-queer violence is also particularly serious. Hostility towards LGBTIQ people serves as a rallying cry in right-wing authoritarian ideologies, similar to antisemitism, sexism, and anti-feminism. This is an example of the increasing focus on action and violence among the rapidly radicalizing, very young neo-Nazi scene, which last year attacked participants in Christopher Street Day and Pride parades, among others, with the aim of spreading fear. “

15. SOUNDBITE (German) Danjel Zarte, owner of Cafe Hoven:
“It’s stupid, but you can get used to a lot of things. It’s also a constant source of stress that I sometimes have panic attacks about in the morning and am afraid to look at my cell phone because I’m afraid that something has happened again. But I believe that my values are right, and that’s why I’m not letting myself be driven away.”

18. SOUNDBITE (German) Thomas Hoffmann, CSD executive board member:
“Recently, we have repeatedly heard people say to us that we have received enough attention, that too many rainbow flags have been raised, and that it is now time to take a step back. At the same time, however, hate crimes are on the rise, existing rights are to be taken away from us again, and in this situation we are supposed to remain silent. We say ‘never silent again’, and now we are taking to the streets more than ever.”
