Hartmut Palmer will be reading from the book "Reich der Lügen" (Reich of Lies). German language. Welcome and Introduction: Peter Senft, Deputy Chairman

About the Book: What did Siegfried Iserlohe, once Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's guard, know about the plans of the crazed prince who, in a castle in the Thuringian Forest, is plotting a coup against the government with Reich Citizens, Identitarians, and other right-wing radicals? A few days after the former bodyguard met the Bonn journalist Zink and forgot his wallet, he was murdered and found with his tongue cut out in a wooded area near Templin. Is Julius Plück, one of the leaders of the Alliance for Germany, for whom Iserlohe's right-wing radical son Rainer works, behind this? The party is racing from election victory to election victory in the East and has long since set its sights on the Chancellery in Berlin. The police seem uninterested in the political background of the murder. But Zink—at the risk of his life—follows the clues he found in Iserlohe's wallet: phone numbers, photos, and addresses that lead him into the realm of lies.
