    Desc: Passionsspiele: Directed by Luka Lara Steffen. Every year on February 13th, Dresden is reminding the public about the Allied bombing of 1945. While some reach out their hands in reconciliation, others march with torches through the city center. Since the 1990s, politically right-winged groups have been mobilizing for demonstrations and marches. For many years, the march on February 13th was known as the largest one in Europe. After a short success against them through blockades in 2010, in recent years they have since regained importance. As the world's understanding of what is politically right shifts more and more into a general norm, right-wing actions around February 13th have increased in popularity again. Annually, Dresden's persistent culture of commemoration serves as a stage for the question of authority over the interpretation of historical events.
