Summary

In this episode of Brennpunkt, hosts Burak, Küppers, and Sahin discuss the viral racist incident at Oktoberfest, debating the dynamics of prejudice and the role of migrant workers in the event. They also analyze the final season of Babylon Berlin, reflecting on its depiction of the rise of fascism in the 1930s.
