In the organizer's words:
Hamburg premiere of the documentary film "Die Möllner Briefe" by Martina Priessner.
In attendance and followed by a discussion with the director Martina Priessner and the protagonist Ibrahim Arslan.
The rediscovered sympathy
Mölln was the first racist attack in reunified Germany in which three people died: ten-year-old Yeliz Arslan, 14-year-old Ayşe Yılmaz and 51-year-old Bahide Arslan in an attempt to save the two girls. Before that, she managed to wrap her seven-year-old grandson İbrahim Arslan in wet cloths and save him from death. Numerous people were injured.
'The Mölln Letters' not only makes the victims' families heard, it also tells of the great solidarity that was expressed in letters to the families after the attacks. These letters were only found in the Mölln town archives in 2020. They were never forwarded to the families...
