Application for smartphones against the Nazis, today presented by the Association for Democratic Culture (VdK) in Berlin.
"Users will receive, if they wish, automatic updates on any activity of neo-Nazi organizations in Berlin," Bianca Klose, director of the club, told AFP. Furthermore, the application will inform them about the demonstrations and actions organized against the Nazis.
VdK piloted this program with its members teams "Berlin against the Nazis" (Berlin gegen Nazis), founded in March 2014 to mobilize civil society against the extremist Right.
The application "Gegen Nazis" (Against the Nazis) can be installed for free at smartphones that have the operating system system Android and in the iPhone and is available in 3 languages: German, English and Turkish. It operates on the basis of an interactive Berlin map where the demonstrations of extremist organizations and all demonstrations organized against them in real time are recorded.
Dilek Kolat, who is responsible for the portfolios of Work, Integration and Women in the Land Government, expressed her support for this initiative.
"Berlin is an open and tolerant city. The application aims to accompany the Berliners in their commitment to racism, anti-Semitism and extremism, "she said in a press release.
