Irmela Mensah-Schramm (65) walks at a very fast pace through the streets of Berlin. In her white cloth bag, on which it is written “Gegen Nazi” (“Against Nazis”), there are spray paints and scrapers. With these weapons, together with her iron will, for 25 years on her own costs the former learning support teacher has been erasing graffiti and stickers singing the praises of Nazism, racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia: more than 80.000 stickers since 1986.
A documentary is now being made about this woman and her extraordinary project. Check out the demo here: The Hate Destroyer
Thanks for blogging that! I reblogged it on my own blog - i love Irmelas work.
