A viral video shows people singing racist lyrics and performing Nazi salutes at a club on the northern German island of Sylt. The club has condemned the incident
Police in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein are investigating a viral social media video which appears to show a group of young people singing racist lyrics outside a bar on the island of Sylt.
“A video of people partying on Sylt is currently doing the rounds on social media,” the police said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday morning. “We are aware of this video which is being investigated for potentially illegal content.”
The video, which appears to have been taken outside the exclusive “Pony” nightclub in the island town of Kampen last weekend, shows people dancing to Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino’s party hit “L’amour toujours” but changing the lyrics to: “Foreigners out, foreigners out, Germany for the Germans, foreigners out.”
One guest can be seen appearing to mimick Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, gesturing a short moustache and performing a Nazi salute.
I don’t see how this is world news, in less public settings this happens all the time over here.
Its news because it happened in a public setting. Neonazis are less afraid than ever to show their true face even on social media.
In the US, this might be the new normal. In Germany, though, this is still verboten.
