## Key points

- The NSU’s crimes were exposed 15 years ago.
- Families still seek answers and justice.
- Memorial projects are progressing slowly.

## Summary

Fifteen years after the National Socialist Underground (NSU) was exposed, families of its victims still have unanswered questions and say justice remains incomplete. The neo-Nazi group murdered people in a racist campaign, but the circumstances of some attacks, including the killing of police officer Michèle Kiesewetter, were never definitively explained.

The NSU killed nine men with immigrant backgrounds between 2000 and 2006, then Kiesewetter in 2007. Beate Zschäpe revealed the group’s existence on 4 November 2011; she remains imprisoned, while other convicted members have been released and investigations into suspected supporters have been dropped. A second trial ended with Susann Eminger receiving a two-year suspended sentence for supporting the group, prompting anger from relatives. Planned memorial projects in Nuremberg and Cologne are also making slow progress.
