Summary:Over 1,000 neo-Nazi youths hurled fire-bombs at a shelter for refugees in the eastern German city of Rostock during the night of August 24. Chanting Germany for the Germans and making the Nazi salute Sieg Heil, the crowd set fire to the building, gutting the first floor. Police responded to the attacks with tear gas and water cannon. More than 150 people were arrested.
