Thousands in Berlin, Vancouver & Quebec City Protest Nazis & Xenophobic Extremists
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thousands also protested against white supremacists and neo-Nazis at
multiple international rallies over the weekend. In Berlin, Germany,
more than 1,000 anti-fascists faced off against a much smaller crowd of
neo-Nazis. This is counter-protester Anja Herbig.

Bq. Anja Herbig: "I am here today to honor my grandfather, who died in a
concentration camp. He was German and was taken for not throwing a blind
Jewish woman out of a bunker during an air raid, and lost his life for
that. I am here today in remembrance of my grandfather."

In Vancouver, Canada, thousands more gathered outside City Hall on
Saturday to counter a group of anti-immigrant protesters. Hundreds more
gathered in Quebec City to protest against a rally by far-right-wing
extremists.
