Goals and tasks:
Supporting the Kubaşık family’s demands for remembrance, truth and accountability forms the core of the alliance’s work. Together with the family, it calls for the release of all NSU files and for answers to the still unresolved questions – particularly regarding the NSU’s support network and the role of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Germany’s domestic intelligence service). The alliance considers it essential to clearly name institutional racism, to raise awareness about it, and to make the remembrance work of those affected by right-wing violence more visible.
The relatives themselves make a crucial contribution to remembrance and truth-seeking. Mehmet Kubaşık’s daughter, Gamze Kubaşık, works as a political educator, actively fighting racism and publicly sharing her experiences. She speaks in schools, museums, theatres and on panel discussions about the NSU complex and the racist investigation practices of the authorities, in order to raise public awareness of the still powerful structural racism and its deadly consequences.
Together with Semiya Şimşek and other supporters, a staged reading was developed and performed. Discussion events are held with other relatives of victims of right-wing violence.
