Overview

• Nürnberg holds an official commemoration today at Enver-Şimşek-Platz with Mayor Marcus König to mark the first NSU murder in 2000.
• Key questions remain unresolved, including which additional supporters assisted the killers and what role Hessian intelligence officer Andreas Temme may have played in the 2006 Kassel shooting.
• Saxony’s Interior Minister Armin Schuster calls the earlier handling a complete system failure, says extensive reforms followed, and argues against fully releasing NSU files.
• Beate Zschäpe’s reported placement in a neo-Nazi exit program has drawn criticism from Schuster, who says she has shown no remorse and contributed little to clarifying the crimes.
• Germany’s first nationwide NSU documentation center opened in May in Chemnitz, has logged more than 8,000 visitors, and currently has funding only through the end of 2025.
