Solingen

A Northern German podcast systematically documents and analyzes crime cases in small towns and rural communities, dismantling the myth of the 'safe countryside' by showing that serious crimes happen among neighbors just as frequently as in metropolitan areas.

On 29 May 1993, four young men from Germany's far-right extremist scene set fire to the home of the Turkish-German Genç family in Solingen, Germany. Five people — women and girls — were killed and several others were injured. The four perpetrators were convicted of arson and murder.
