Tens of thousands of people attended an anti-racism concert to protest xenophobic mobs that ran rampage in the city of Chemnitz - as Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans to stand up against the far right's message of hate and division.

Chemnitz, in former communist Saxony state, was flung into the spotlight as far-right protesters went after foreign-looking people in violent demonstrations last week against the fatal stabbing of a man, allegedly by an Iraqi.

After a weekend of protests in which right-wing extremists vastly outnumbered counter-protesters, a huge crowd estimated by city authorities as 50,000 people massed by early evening at the Chemnitz free concert on Monday.

So, the concert got a huge turnout.

And the fact that it was free had nothing to do with so many showing up,right?
