There are only ten houses in Jamel. Seven of them are self-identifying neo-Nazis and their families. The village in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania became known for right-wing extremists, such as the neo-Nazi Sven Krüger, who had to go to jail for stolen goods and unauthorized possession of weapons. Keeping silent or moving away was out of the question for the Lohmeyer couple. Instead, they launched the festival "Jamel rockt den Förster" on their property in 2007. Since then, the festival celebrates democracy and tolerance and offeres young people in the region an important alternative to the far-right mainstream. In 2015, when the couple's barn went up in flames just before the festival, the Amadeu Antonio Foundation was able to organize financial aid with a major solidarity campaign. Since its beginning, the festival has established itself as a major event, in which not only local bands but also prominent musicians perform. It has become a symbol for courage and enduring resistance to right-wing extremist ground covering strategies.
