In this episode, host Senada Sokollu sits down with Serkan Yildirim — the first victim to survive the far-right terrorist group NSU. At just 18 years old, a bomb disguised as a flashlight exploded in his hands inside a Nuremberg bar. For years, he wasn’t recognized as a victim of terror — but treated with suspicion, left to fight for truth and dignity on his own.
Today, Serkan speaks under his real name to reclaim his identity — and to make sure his story, and the stories of others targeted by racist violence in Germany, are finally heard.
In the second half of the episode, Senada is joined by Serkan’s lawyer, Engin Sanli, to discuss the ongoing legal struggle for justice — and the many unanswered questions that remain in the NSU complex.
This conversation is more urgent than ever: Beate Zschäpe — convicted for her key role in the NSU murders — could already be eligible for early release in 2026 after entering a deradicalization program.
The interview is conducted in German, and available on YouTube with English subtitles.
Listen now — because the story isn’t over. And remembering is a form of justice.
