elmars Posted October 23, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) In spring 2016 I did a project about Syrian Refugees in the German city Krefeld with my friends Paul Maaßen and Roland Duddek an with the journalists of the local newspaper WZ. The exibition was shown in the adult education center. The plates (ca. 1 x 1 m) looked like this: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! This is hard to read in the forum, therefore two examples: Zainab S. Zainab (28) was born in Alleppo, is a muslim and studied Economics at the university in Syria. She speaks Arabic, Kurdic, Turkish, English and is learning German at the moment. “I came via the Balkan-route on my own to live in safety and freedom. I wish for a good education and that I can get my master in Economics so that I can get a good job and live a good life here in Germany.” „To achieve this I need support. It is very difficult to get started because everything is new to us here: the language, the foreign surrounding, the rules. That is why I am trying to help other Syrian people in their difficult situation.“ Nabil H. Nabil is 38 years old and was a hair stylist in Damascus. He came to Krefeld in September 2015 with his wife, his five and six-year-old sons and his seven-year-old daughter. „Before we came to Germany, we lived in Lebanon for two years. Our escape to Germany took 40 days. From Lebanon, we flew to Turkey, fifteen days later, we could get a boat to Greece, we had to stay in Chios for 15 days before we could travel through Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary to get to Germany. I paid $10,000 for my family. We walked a lot of the way which was very exhausting, especially for the children.“ What do you think is the greatest difference between Germany and your home? „The language. And it is a completely different life for families. The children have difficulty, when they have to change kindergartens. It is not easy here.“ Do you feel safe and welcome? „Yes, I feel safe and welcome.“ What do you miss the most? „The whole big family. The family, the friends and for my children, other children to play with. When the war is over, I would like to go back to Syria, it is a different life. We are a big family.“ What do you wish the most? „That the war would end and that we could go back to Syria. I am afraid that my children will not get used to living here.“ What do you expect from the German government and from the people? „I thank Angela Merkel and the German people. The people here in Germany treat us better than the people in the Arabic countries.“ What do you dream about? „Of a hair salon in Damascus.“ For those, who are interested in more photos or fates of the refugees, look here on my website: http://www.elmarstreyl.com/syrianrefugees Thanks for watching!
