A Berlin woman is waging a lone campaign against neo-Nazi graffiti, armed with a scraper and nail-varnish remover. Irmela Mensah-Schramm, 63, removes swastikas and racist stickers from lampposts and walls across the city. It's an endless battle against neo-Nazi youths, passersby who file legal complaints, and above all indifference.

Having just been in Berlin, I was well impressed by the amount of anti-fascist stuff they have there. It's hardly surprising that they'd have a good anti-fascist movement, but seriously, in some neighbourhoods you can barely move for Antifaschistische Aktion propaganda.
