Hanau attack's sixth anniversary leaves scars of racism and grief
Speaking in Wiesbaden on Thursday, the state premier said: "Six years have passed since the violent attack in Hanau, yet the wounds remain unhealed. The unimaginable suffering inflicted by the cowardly, racist perpetrator on families and friends must never be forgotten. We will not forget the victims of this horrific act. Their memory endures as part of our shared remembrance, urging us to remain vigilant."
He expressed deep sympathy for the relatives who lost their loved ones and for all those still suffering the consequences of this brutal attack.
The state government will keep the memory alive and continue its commitment to combating racism, extremism, and hatred, the minister-president stated, adding: "Remembrance is more than just looking back—it is both a mission and an obligation. We stand for respect, humanity, and solidarity. Only by uniting against hate and incitement can we prevent such atrocities. We owe it to the victims of Hanau. They compel us to protect democracy and peaceful coexistence."
