In a country where Nazi symbols are illegal, the sight of snarling wolves performing a Hitler salute is unusual.<\/p>\n

But 10 bronze figures have now gone on display in the eastern German city of Chemnitz to protest against what organisers see as “growing hatred”.<\/p>\n

Tensions have risen in the city in recent weeks after a German man was allegedly killed by two migrants.<\/p>\n

Far-right protesters reportedly used the Hitler salute and chased migrants and journalists.<\/p>\n

Germany’s far right march en masse<\/p>\n

The organisers of the sculpture The Wolves are Back explain that the installation is based on the fact that both the Nazis and current-day right-wing radicals often describe themselves as “wolves”. <\/p>\n

The wolves were created by artist Rainer Opolka and will be in front of Chemnitz’s iconic Karl Marx statue until Thursday evening, together with signs accusing right-wing groups of “exploiting our fears” and describing right-wing radicalism as “the mother of all problems”.<\/p>\n

Some of the figures are ready to attack, while others are blindfolded.<\/p>\n

The wolf statues were previously displayed outside a court in Munich during the sentencing of Beate Zsch\u00e4pe, a member of a neo-Nazi gang who was found guilty of 10 racially-motivated murders in July, as well as in Berlin and Dresden. <\/p>\n

It is not the first anti-racism event in Chemnitz. More than 60,000 attended a free concert in the city last week to protest against the far-right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
