"Stay or Go?" is the title of a song by Feine Sahne Fischfilet ["Fine Cream Fish Fillet"], one of Germany's most successful punk bands. A question of relevance that has confronted several generations of Germans native to the states of the former GDR. The heart of the band: Jan "Monchi" Ganta. His political journey – from the violence-prone scene of fanatical football fans to becoming a musician figurehead in the fight against the escalating right-wing extremism – could have taken him elsewhere. The "wild heart" of the title beats within an angry, physically and emotionally overweight thirty-year-old man who has found meaning for his power and strength in contemporary antifascism.
