In 1992, hundreds of neo-Nazis and thousands of local residents besieged an initial reception centre for asylum seekers and an adjacent block of flats of former Vietnamese contract workers in Rostock-Lichtenhagen for days. The atmosphere heated up for days without the police intervening in any significant way. Finally, incendiary devices flew and the buildings were stormed. »Sonnenblumenhaus« documents the largest and almost forgotten racist pogrom in German post-war history and processes the survivors' point of view.

Due to numerous cancellations, the Goethe-Institut Hamburg's BEYOND THE LONE OFFENDER conference at Kampnagel will not take place as planned. The official press release on this matter the Goethe-Institut published here.
