American journalist Jacob Kushner is the author of a fine new(ish) book about a series of crimes by a neo-Nazi gang in Germany called LOOK AWAY: A True Story of Murders, Bombings, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants. I was still at Spiegel Online when the cops closed in on the “National Socialist Underground,” as the group was called, and arrested a woman called Beate Zschäpe. Her partners — both named Uwe — destroyed themselves in fiery Wagnerian fashion. Jacob talks to me about this weird story as well as the German elections coming up this weekend, and, yes, Elon Musk’s Nazi salute.
