Jorge

Overview

At Easter 1991, when few could have imagined the xenophobic riots of the following months and years, 28-year-old black contract worker Jorge Joa Gomondai from Mozambique died in Dresden. He was attacked by a group of rioting skinheads and thrown from a moving tram. Or did he jump in panic? The trial against three perpetrators failed to answer this question. His parents in Mozambique are still waiting for an explanation or apology from the city, or for compensation.
