See the Wave of xenophobic violence going on in Germany

They are images that have become customary in the news and newspapers in Germany this summer: groups of neo-Nazis and right-wing extremists, mixed with citizens who support and justify the presence of xenophobic, meet at refugee centers to intimidate to asylum seekers.

In some cases, protesters even attacked with stones and Molotov cocktails centers despite the presence of riot police. Other times, the attacks occur at night and without notice.

Germany is experiencing a hot summer. Some even compare him to lived in 1992, when the wave of refugees arrived in Germany to escape the war in the Balkans ended leading to a series of pogroms against foreigners and refugees in the east. Pictures of shame in the modern history of Germany, as they point the press and politicians of the country; and images that awaken the ghosts of latent racism in much of German society, especially in some regions of the east of the country, where the movements and far-right parties have historically a strong rooting.

The current wave of xenophobic violence has reached this weekend a new high: hundreds of neo-Nazis clashed with police for two consecutive nights against a refugee reception center located in the city of Heidenau near Dresden, the capital of eastern state of Saxony. Dozens of police officers were injured. The images of Molotov cocktails and stones, watered with racist slogans, closely resemble those of Rostock-Lichtenhagen, a suburb of the northern city in which a crowd of right-wing, neo-Nazi and disenchanted with the economic hardship citizens who lived in the region after reunification attacked a shelter in late August 1992.
