These idiots are from far East Germany. Worrisome? Yes. Unexpected? Absolutely not. The AfD is the strongest party in East Germany and thinking for themselves - as they claim so often (“Wir sind das Volk“ - „We are the people“) - is not their strength as they haven’t learned it during communism and forgot to learn it thereafter. Consequently, no consequences are taken and no efforts are made to think things through and improve, deepening that way the feeling that they are the losers which is simply their own fault and which is why they are falling for every right wing German proud shit.

The photo, taken on March 13, shows the students from the city of Görlitz on the Polish border making the so-called white power salute.

The gesture, common in extremist circles, is not illegal in Germany, unlike the Nazi salute.

Not the salute I was thinking, but a bad one nonetheless.

jfc how detached from reality do you have to be to make far right salutes at Auschwitz? Scary.

Happens once every year or two, that some idiots do this and we get a newspaper article about it.
