MICHEL ABDOLLAHI // »Es ist unser Land« (Buchpremiere)

In the organizer's words:

Ten years after his sensational TV report "Im Nazidorf", for which he was awarded the German Television Prize, and five years after his SPIEGEL bestseller "Deutschland schafft mich", Michel Abdollahi's new book "Es ist unser Land" will be published on September 5.

In it, the reporter and presenter takes stock and states that nothing has improved - on the contrary. Open xenophobia, right-wing ideas that have become socially acceptable, a hopelessly divided middle class: Abdollahi shines a light on the abysses of contemporary Germany and paints a picture of a society in which people with a history of migration are increasingly perceived as foreign bodies. The bestselling author goes where it hurts and names grievances clearly and pointedly. At the same time, he shows how a turnaround can be achieved towards peaceful and diverse coexistence without racism and populism.

"It is our country" is a frightening report on the current situation and at the same time an encouraging plea that we must not leave Germany to the right.
