The tragic Hanau shooting in February 2020, perpetrated by a far-right gunman, targeted immigrant communities, leading to nine deaths and generating significant societal debate. Five years later, victim Serpil Temiz Unvar emphasizes that family advocacy has sparked community solidarity, yet not enough systemic change has occurred. In memory of her son Ferhat, she founded an educational initiative aimed at combating racism, alongside various community projects aimed at preventing future violence and honoring the victims. A memorial is planned for 2026 to further acknowledge this tragedy and its impact on society.
"This tragic event has had resonance in society, but this resonance has been largely due to the efforts of the families affected, who have fought tirelessly to make their voices heard."
