We, München OEZ erinnern!, are an initiative of relatives, survivors and supporters who want to recall and remember the attack on 22 July 2016 at the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum (OEZ) in Munich.
The names of the nine victims must not be forgotten. Armela Segashi, Can Leyla, Dijamant Zabërgja, Guiliano Kollmann, Hüseyin Dayıcık, Roberto Rafael, Sabine S., Selçuk Kılıç and Sevda Dağ. It must no longer be concealed that the offence was a case of right-wing terror, anti-Muslim racism and antiziganism.
We want to and will fight for this together. We want to help ensure that the victims are not only remembered on the anniversary, but that they and their stories are part of the public consciousness. We want the relatives’ demands for appropriate remembrance and a space for dialogue and reappraisal to become a reality. We want to stand together against racism and right-wing terror. We want Munich to take this attack seriously and draw consequences. We want this attack to be recognised and named as right-wing terror throughout Germany.
We want to counter the contempt for humanity of right-wing terror and racism with a practice of solidarity. To this end, we are working together with around 25 victims’ initiatives in the Solidarity Network for Victims of Right-Wing, Racist and Anti-Semitic Violence.
We are therefore delighted that our comrades and friends from “Berlin erinnert München OEZ!” are once again organising a commemorative event on 22 July at 5 pm on O-Platz.
