Book launch: "The longer we remain silent, the more courage we will need"

Wednesday, 29/04/2026 / 05:00 PM - 08:30 PM / Edith-Stein-Schule

Book presentation and discussion

Lawyer and author Hendrik Cremer says: "The danger posed by the AfD is not sufficiently reflected in public discourse. According to Cremer, the AfD has developed into a far-right party with high approval ratings. According to Cremer, too little is said about their political goals and willingness to use violence. Hendrik Cremer traces the development and works out how, in his view, democracy and the rule of law are under attack.

What does this mean for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern? How can politics and society act to preserve liberal democracy?
Hendrik Cremer, who works at the German Institute for Human Rights, and Christian Winter, member of the MV state parliament, will discuss this.

We cordially invite you to take part in the discussion.
