Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - At least 1500 people held a demonstration in Frankfurt on Friday evening to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the anti-fascist movement and the end of the Second World War.
In the Gallus district of Frankfurt, in front of the building in which the Auschwitz trial was negotiated in the 1960s, they remembered the victims of National Socialism and fascism with a minute's silence.
The train into the city center was accompanied by a large police presence.
The march was peaceful until the evening, said a police spokeswoman.
In the choruses, criticism of the police and the Hessian Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) was repeatedly loud.
"Where were you in Hanau?"
chanted the crowd in view of the emergency breakdowns on the night of the attack on February 19, 2020. “Always these right-wing extremists” warned against trivializing right-wing extremist acts of violence.
