In recent years, far-right extremism has been gaining ground in Germany. Neo-Nazi groups are becoming more visible, more organized, and more accepted in public life. They march through towns, rally in parks, run for office — and win votes. The situation is no longer subtle. What’s unfolding is a clear confrontation between democracy and fascism, between memory and denial. What was once fringe is becoming familiar. Hate symbols reappear under new names. Former taboos are now political platforms. The normalization is steady, deliberate, and largely unchallenged in many parts of the country. The Quiet Rise documents the visible and hidden manifestations of neo-Nazi activities and far-right extremism in Germany. The story focuses on the silent presence of extremism embedded within ordinary environments — a presence that grows stronger each day. More individuals are joining these movements, their influence expanding as history threatens to repeat itself.

The work traces the fragile tension between democratic values and the threat posed by authoritarian and exclusionary ideologies. It highlights the societal divisions, coded gestures, and collective silences that allow extremist beliefs to take root within the fabric of everyday life.

The Quiet Rise serves as both a record and a reflection on the normalization of intolerance and hate within modern European society. Not of something past — but of what is happening now. The difference now is how many are willing to look away.
