And we have a lot of fun at it. 00:02:54.980 --> 00:02:56.900 I just do it once a week. 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:06.600 I am a teach and came here through Laura, a student of mine from the secondary school St. Ursula. 00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:14.960 and then she told me that she always comes here and does refugee care. 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:23.700 Then i thought lets come here too and we have on our school a project where we think... it´s called compassion. 00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:32.620 Think about how people show compassion and how far we can accompany them. 00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:36.720 When everybody comes refugee accommodation we first start with a Hello round. 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:42.420 In a "Hello Round" everybody tells whats their name, how they are and what was good and bad on this day. 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:53.360 Then everybody splits in groups like with one supervisor and 1 to 2 children and the we do the homework and study together. 00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:56.640 And when we´re done and there´s nothing else to do we play together. 00:04:07.420 --> 00:04:10.220 Every chid is different it doesn´t make any different where you´re from. 00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:16.200 The most children from there came from Syria and are between 6-12 years old and go to the Rote Tor Schule. 00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:19.980 Tell me from the farm where you showed me the pictures. 00:04:21.380 --> 00:04:33.460 We went there on monday then we saw pigs, cows, goose and ducks and so on. 00:04:33.460 --> 00:04:37.480 -You had something in your hands. -Yes a chicken. 00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:41.680 But in Syria they don't even have pets. 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:51.940 We came here in 2014 and celebrated christmas in 2015. 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.760 And we also celebrated new years eve and we are here for 1 year now. 00:04:57.980 --> 00:05:04.520 I wish Syria to be like Germany and then go back. 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:11.040 The children were often in school in their hometown, but they have to start here again from the beginning. 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.860 Because they only learned arabic font and the arabic language. 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.680 Here in Germany they have to get used to the german font and the german language. 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:26.680 Every child speaks really well german they of course say some krypositons or some words wrong but you understand them perfectly. 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:32.260 And you wouldn't think that because some of them are only one year here and you can talk to them wonderfully. 00:05:32.260 --> 00:05:37.120 Thats a huge difference to the elder one who are partly over 4 years here and can't speak almost nothing. 00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.180 -300´000 minus 20´000 00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.180 Minus 20´000 ? 00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:47.800 Equals 80´000? 00:05:48.380 --> 00:05:50.760 Yes 80 but what number comes before? 00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:55.780 280´000. Do you understand it? 00:05:56.280 --> 00:06:03.720 I came to Augsburg 4 years ago to study linguistic and literary science. 00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:11.840 And since one year im with the children for homework care. 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.260 I came here over a friend who was here a few times but couldn't do it because of time. 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:28.660 Every child is different. For example there´s ali, who can make all exercises really fast and thoughtful. 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.140 He sees all tasks and answered instantly and sees the systems in for example maths exercises. 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.380 There are also other children who for example count 3 plus 4 equals 64 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.480 But the same happens to german children too and thats only when you wanna finish unthoughtful and have no lust for studying. 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.200 You can't forget that the children came from war zones and have partly traumatic experiences. 00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:08.120 The police was once here for example and all the children started screaming and one of them started heavily crying and locked himself into a room. 00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:22.520 "Happy birthday to you...." 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.480 I wish me for the children, that they get the same chances like children in germany. 00:07:30.900 --> 00:07:39.420 And i hope that they get accepted from all the people like they are and not looked at strangely because of their skin color and because they look differently. 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.660 We had at the beginning of the school year a lot of discussions about refugees. 00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:48.580 And some of my classmates were the opinion that they should stay were they came from. 00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:53.140 Thats why our teachers were the view that they should teach us the situation better. 00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:58.340 And now the people have a better understanding of why the people came to germany. 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.980 I also have a completely different opinion on people who came from different countries to germany. 00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:18.160 So for example i can argue from my own experiences when somebody is talking bad about foreigners. 00:08:40.020 --> 00:08:44.620 Good news from Germany 2016 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.800 Swiss plebiscite: Win for the constitutional state. 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.500 Swiss people don't wanna deport criminal foreigners automatically. 00:08:54.280 --> 00:09:02.980 At the plebiscite the majority voted against the controversial enforcement initiative of the swiss party- SVP. 00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:11.860 With that they stop a second-class justice and defend themselves from a right-winged attack. 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.860 Majority is optimistic for refugee integration. 00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:19.100 Can we make it? 00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:26.120 More than 2/3 of germans are the view that the integration of the refugees will succeed. 00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:30.580 That was the result of a representative survey of the Infratest. 00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:36.620 On the question that the prosperity of Germany is at risk with refugee admission 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.840 the majority of germans showed themselves calmed. 00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:44.900 61% answered with no. 00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:49.460 No xenophobia in germany. 00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:52.540 Germans are ashamed of assaults. 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:58.520 The majority of germans are ashamed of the violently protests against refugees. 00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:04.560 According to a survey of the "ARD Deutschland Trend" it is 83%. 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.160 76% of the interviewed promote that politicians should condemn the assaults harder. 00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:16.200 German labour market is receptive. 00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:19.360 Not everyone could find work, but a lot. 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:25.740 Thats what the board of directors of the federal agency for work, Detlef Scheele said to "Die Welt". 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.060 In this year 350´000 refugees will search for a education or work. 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.440 Thats for the current german labour market not a problem. 00:10:38.260 --> 00:10:43.500 At the moment 700´000 new jobs are created yearly. 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:48.440 Training policy: good outlooks for teachers. 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.200 The bavarian culture ministry created over 1000 new jobs for teachers. 00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:59.400 To integrate the 60´000 refugee children in compulsory education age. 00:11:00.540 --> 00:11:08.440 They should teach german to children and teenager on primary-, middle- and professional schools in special conveyor classes. 00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:15.420 Survey: 1/3 of plants will hire refugees. 00:11:16.460 --> 00:11:22.940 34% of company wanna hire refugees in this or next year. 00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:29.760 That was the answer of a survey from the IFO institution from about 1000 personnel manager. 00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:32.640 They apparently make good experiences. 00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:41.780 2/3 of personnel manager who already hired refugees wanna hire in the next 2 years more refugees. 00:12:02.540 --> 00:12:06.560 Since people commemorate people had to flee from their homes. 00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:14.800 Often due natural disasters but probably more often through humans. 00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:23.680 The protagonist of the next post turned 88 on the 28. February. 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:28.200 She also was a refugee once and nowhere welcomed. 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.700 But she had no other choice than escape to save her life. 00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:40.540 She was forced to leave her home with 16 years because of a war. 00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:51.440 What preceded abominations which were uniquely and indescribably that you only can hope that people will learn from it. 00:12:51.880 --> 00:12:58.040 That something like that won't happen on german ground and not on any other spot on this earth. 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:28.580 We didn't realize that much from the war, but after the front drew closer and our troops were on the countermarch, 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:33.200 a depressed mood spreaded throughout. 00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:43.220 We didn't had much distress during the war, you could pick up you groceries even if the selection wasn´t that big anymore... 00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:50.420 But there still was everything and we didn't suffered hunger. 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.980 We didn't had any bomb attacks and it was quiet. 00:13:56.980 --> 00:14:02.800 The front drew closer, which we got from the wehrmach report. 00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:07.120 In Oktober was already a bomb attack in Breslau. 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.380 And with that another time began for us. 00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:16.400 We made worried about how to continue. 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:25.040 There were also occasional refugees, they came from the east. 00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:33.160 We didn't want to realize it first but then you realized it in the population. 00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:37.080 The young ones become less. 00:14:37.540 --> 00:14:43.080 The males were drafted in the military. 00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:50.480 For the flak or some other military camps. 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.760 Us girls also got set in. 00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:03.980 For example catering office or in the weapons production or for school classes. 00:15:04.900 --> 00:15:18.020 And it got so much that we barely had school and a lot of lazarets got postponed to us because it was still quiet in middle Silesia. 00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:33.120 There were a lot of wounded soldiers in here and on christmas people got asked to invite soldier to their homes. 00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:42.560 In december the first refugee trains came. 00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:50.380 It was prohibited to leave the town without asking. 00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:53.260 You had to stay there. 00:15:53.900 --> 00:16:00.540 There were few who still drove away but the majority stayed. 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:12.880 The population accepted it partly because they said, when the soldiers draw back from the front 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:22.560 and come to empty cities and empty villages, they will ask themselves what did we defend? 00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:30.880 We hoped that the front will move past us or that they will roll fast past us. 00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:34.920 So the will to flee wasn´t that strong. 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:50.120 Thereby that my mother past away at the end of november it was a really depressed christmas, even without the war influence. 00:16:51.020 --> 00:16:57.480 At that time even more refugees came from the east. 00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:02.540 They came from East Prussia and West Prussia. 00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:10.140 And then the right trail set in, which was a really gloomy view. 00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:12.120 They all looked the same. 00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:18.640 They drove on sleds and there was a lot of snow and it was really cold. 00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:27.520 The cold was also really depressing because you couldn't heat every room because the fuel was missing. 00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:31.640 We mostly heated only one room and the kitchen. 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.440 There wasn't anymore. 00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:39.980 And on top of it was a blackout. The streets were completely dark. 00:17:40.340 --> 00:17:50.000 It was dark and cold and then the feeling that something is coming to us was really depressing. 00:17:51.100 --> 00:17:58.860 And we heard at the end of December that there was a artillery bombardment in Breslau. 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.940 On the 10th of January Breslau got evacuated and our whole city was full. 00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:16.560 We got strange faces everywhere and we barely knew real people from Bunzlau and it really got short with the bread. 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:26.320 Us people form Bunzlau knew some stores in the Periphery were to buy bread. 00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:34.320 And they mostly came in the night because it was too risky with the planes on daylight. 00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:40.100 We were 3 girls between 14 and 16 years. I was 16 years old. 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:50.320 We met every evening as a group on the translation and there were other groups who did the same. 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:59.900 There were refugees who had relatives in Bunzlau or just paused there. 00:19:00.280 --> 00:19:11.840 So we brought them to their relatives. We carried their suitcases because they were attenuated from the journey. 00:19:12.580 --> 00:19:19.660 So those who just paused there came to sports halls. 00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:27.540 A corridor in the middle, left and right was straw and then they slept on it. 00:19:27.540 --> 00:19:32.400 There wasn´t any chaos, it worked out. 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:44.700 Some said that they will never leave their homes and others said that they have a young daughter and the battle troops who's coming isn't harmless. 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.500 Young women and girls had to go. 00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:59.140 The elders said that they wanna stay there but still escaped because of their children. 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.160 They said come grandfather we won't let you by yourself here. 00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:13.760 My case was similar. My father wanted to stay in Bunzlau because my mother died shortly before and he didn't want to leave her grave. 00:20:14.340 --> 00:20:22.460 But then the neighbors talked him into and i also said i won't leave you alone. 00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:31.860 Thereupon he also decided to leave which was in February. 00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:44.520 We then had school for few days and they said that it maybe will be over, maybe we will fix it. 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.400 But the mood was really bad. 00:20:49.060 --> 00:20:58.080 Then we noticed that the refugee trains partly drove through our stations. 00:20:59.060 --> 00:21:05.380 And in early february we learned that they evacuate Bunzlau. 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.720 I packed my suitcase long before. 00:21:11.800 --> 00:21:18.600 But my father couldn't carry anything because he was really sick, he didn´t had any life courage anymore. 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.060 And i had to look that he´ll pack his stuff too but he didn´t wanted to. 00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:29.540 We had to go on the 10th of february. 00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:36.000 The train stations weren´t save anymore thats why only few trains drove. 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:41.420 We didn´t knew when they will come so we used buses and military vehicles. 00:21:42.260 --> 00:21:52.860 And my father who didn´t want to move stayed there until it was dark and said: "i won't come to the assembly point. 00:21:54.160 --> 00:22:05.400 We had a factory house and below us were some bureau rooms and this rooms were busy from a field hunter unit. 00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:13.300 Then i went to the field hunters and said:"I got a problem, i can't bring my father to the assembly point. 00:22:14.260 --> 00:22:20.040 Then they brought us with a jeep to the place. 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:26.900 It was dark, cold and there was a huge crowd. 00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:40.500 And we wanted to meet with relatives from Breslau but it was impossible. We searched and waited but then they said that we have to move on because they wanna blow up the bridges. 00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:53.260 And then we drove in a tank. We were 11 people in this vehicle. 00:22:53.260 --> 00:22:57.040 Next to the driver was a bucket full of petrol. 00:22:57.560 --> 00:23:00.220 We weren´t able to smoke or we would blow up. 00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:05.540 Then we drove in the west direction. 00:23:06.040 --> 00:23:12.220 On the big road, Bunzlau, Görlitz, it was 44 kilometers. 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.780 Then we drove with this vehicle to Dresden the next day. 00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:29.080 And then my father said that he couldn´t sit anymore and we should take a break in Dresden and stay there. 00:23:32.520 --> 00:23:45.500 Nobody wanted to go far away from Silesia because they said when the war is over we can go back home. 00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:49.160 Thats why we wanted to remain near. 00:23:50.180 --> 00:24:00.400 The 2 drivers said in Dresden that they will continue to drive. They wanted to go to Hof. 00:24:01.100 --> 00:24:04.940 And my father said no so we stayed in Dresden. 00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:12.860 The people in Dresden received us nicely. We go good bread to eat. 00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:28.320 Then we came to a sports hall with electricity and my father said that it´s full of refugees and food wasn´t good in this big city.. 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:39.120 And then we said we will move on and then there was a refugee train or more which moved on to the west. 00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:44.500 We boarded in this train and came to Leipzig. 00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:50.480 This was on the 12. of February. 00:24:51.020 --> 00:24:55.700 Then they said move quickly to the shelter we have an alarm. 00:24:56.280 --> 00:25:05.780 We sat for hours in the shelter and we heard the detonation which was really loud. 00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:14.180 We didn´t knew what was bombed and as then the warning came up and we ran outside, 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:21.920 and the people from Leipzig who also were with us said Dresden is burning. 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:24.880 And that was the big attack on Dresden. 00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:30.240 After that we was distributed in private quarters. 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.560 They weren´t really excited about it. 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:39.620 My father got a room with an elderly woman. 00:25:39.780 --> 00:25:46.800 She was a widow. And i was in some kind of a room chamber but we stayed in the same house. 00:25:47.900 --> 00:26:03.360 We still had a aviator alarm and we knew how far the front was and we hoped that the americans come earlier than the russians. That was it. 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:10.820 We had 1-2 days a heavy fighting but after that Leipzig gave up really quick. 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:19.860 They saw that it won't make any sense to defend anything, that it just bring more losses which we had more than enough. 00:26:20.600 --> 00:26:26.860 Then we sat in the basement and they stopped shooting. 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.260 Then we looked up what was going on and we saw the americans in the streets. 00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:37.740 They told the people to be reasonable. 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:48.840 Thats where they stopped to say that we will win and we don't have to give up. 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:57.660 Then the occupation troop came and the house we was in was a corner house. 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:03.940 And the all corner houses got occupied from both sides. 00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:12.600 And we instantly had americans in our houses so we had to go to the basements and stay there. 00:27:12.820 --> 00:27:18.140 On the first day my father reminded that he left his watch in the room. 00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:22.820 Which was a golden one because you don't take simple watches with you when you escape. 00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:33.400 And then i went to them and he took me with him to his room, where my father was and the watch was still there. 00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:44.480 They called us once, that we should go to them and then we went to the house where we stayed before. 00:27:45.180 --> 00:28:05.900 And then they were laying in the marriage bed, they were black guys and they shaked with their black feet and said that we are really pretty. 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:15.580 They were really nice and lovely, we didn't suffer from them. After few days they withdraw. 00:28:16.260 --> 00:28:20.940 And then we made balance and looked up what was there. 00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:26.680 Everything still was there they didn't took anything with them besides from a plum figure. 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.280 Thats what they took with them. They probably liked it a lot. 00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:42.560 I came to it that they splitted germany in american, russian, french and british parts. 00:28:43.260 --> 00:28:47.880 And Leipzig was in the russian part of it. 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.260 That means that the americans withdrew. 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:57.940 A lot of young women and girls went with the americans. 00:28:58.220 --> 00:29:02.540 We didn´t stay far away from Silesia. 00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:15.860 Then we had big hunger and people started to rob. Leipzig didn't had a big outback like a farm. 00:29:16.420 --> 00:29:20.260 We then went to peele potatoes. 00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:25.580 We stayed on a little field, Silesia had a lot bigger ones. 00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:32.540 We stayed on the field with 3 people and the farmer was there with dogs 00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:44.580 you couldn´t enter until he said enough and then he went away so you could pick up the other potatoes. 00:29:44.760 --> 00:29:54.920 Everybody made a run on the field so we was happy when we could get a pound of potatoes for ourselves. 00:29:55.260 --> 00:30:00.420 There weren't any good potatoes left because the other ones picked them up. 00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:05.240 It only were small potatoes but we was lucky if we had any. 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.300 And similar was it with sowing field. 00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:15.640 We sowed fields and it took place like with the potatoes. 00:30:16.780 --> 00:30:26.840 So we came home with the ears and we rubbed them on the washboard. 00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:33.340 We only had a little sack of it and picked up the corn of it. 00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:43.520 Then we went on a open place with the corns and waited for the wind to come and then we threw the corns in the air 00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:49.000 and the chaff flew away with the wind. 00:30:50.260 --> 00:30:54.180 It was sometimes hard because the pigeons were hungry too. 00:30:54.540 --> 00:30:59.880 And they were quicker than the wind so it was a fight. 00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:05.020 And this was turned in the coffee mill and we baked bread with that. 00:31:05.340 --> 00:31:11.140 This went a long while but after that they said that the refugees had to get out because they couldn't make it anymore. 00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:16.960 They brought us to the train and we was happy that it went to the east again. 00:31:18.820 --> 00:31:23.440 We came to sparsely populated areas. 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.900 It started over again. We came to a village 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:41.260 and we were splitted again. My father and i got a offer that we can have a floor room. 00:31:42.260 --> 00:31:47.760 Nothing in it besides a bag to sleep. Nothing else. 00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:56.120 We didn´t had blankets, it was autumn and cold. We couldn´t do it. 00:31:57.220 --> 00:32:04.240 After that we was brought to a Hospitality Service. 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.720 We then stayed there. 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:14.360 There were many bags of potatoes. So much that you couldn't even carry it. 00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:22.420 And when you eat nothing but potatoes, your body will put on water and we all got aqueous figures. 00:32:23.260 --> 00:32:34.520 And then my father died there. He saw that it was almost impossible to go back to Silesia. 00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:44.400 He didn´t had the courage before to leave and he was damaged before from the 1. world war. 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:48.240 Then the dead of my mother was too much for him. 00:32:48.780 --> 00:32:51.780 And he was buried there in march. 00:32:52.220 --> 00:33:00.020 And i turned to my classmates, we made up collecting adresses. 00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:10.620 There was one girl who stuck in Thuringia who started a apprenticeship as a nurse. 00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:19.860 And i asked if they could take me too which also happened. 00:33:19.860 --> 00:33:25.680 I then went to Amstatt and had to begin my own life. 00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:31.280 I was 18 in february and i started in April. 00:33:51.280 --> 00:33:55.400 Short news from Germany February 2016 00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:57.400 Bauzen in Saxony 00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.940 Onlookers cheer over a fire. 00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:05.200 A vacant hotel got heavily damaged by a fire. 00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:09.580 It was planned that 300 refugees will be accommodated. 00:34:10.520 --> 00:34:15.860 Local residents among them children applauded and bothered the firemen with the extinguishing. 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:19.900 Klausnitz in Saxony. 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.420 Screaming crowd blocks bus with refugees. 00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:32.020 An angry mob with up to 100 people raged in front of a bus with 15 newcomers who are searching shelter in Germany. 00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:41.440 The roar "We are the people" frightened the bus passengers that much, that they didn´t dare to get out of the bus for 2 hours. 00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:46.740 After all police officers had to bring them to their shelters. 00:34:48.700 --> 00:34:54.640 Former President of the House of Representatives Thierse: "Hate and violence is in the east more visible!" 00:34:55.660 --> 00:35:08.820 After the youngest xenophobic riots in Saxony Former President of the House of Representatives Wolfgang Thierse said to the people in the east that the they are more sensitive for xenophobic messages. 00:35:09.580 --> 00:35:21.260 Who had to go through so much change the past 25 years is obviously less established in his democratic and moral convictions he says. 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:24.720 Racism in Saxony 00:35:25.520 --> 00:35:28.820 Minister accuses it´s own police to be close to pegida. 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:37.420 Saxons deputy Minister made serious allegations to it´s police. 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:47.080 We not only have a quantity problem with the police we also got a quality problem he said in a Interview to "Die Zeit". 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:57.160 He´s questioning if the sympathy to Pegida and AfD is bigger than in the average population. 00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:06.480 On the security authorities from his country there would be a catching up in intercultural competence and on the leading culture. 00:36:08.520 --> 00:36:09.920 Annual Report 00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:14.400 Amnesty International criticized german refugee politics. 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:23.400 In their yearly report Amnesty criticized that Germany loses the view of human rights with the handling of refugees. 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:27.440 It is now set to hardness and foreclosure. 00:36:28.040 --> 00:36:35.440 Also the fight against racism has to be addressed by the authorities said Amnesty. 00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:42.680 Refugees: UNO-Refugee Commissioner accuses Europe complete failure. 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:50.120 The most countries left Germany and few other states completely alone. 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:56.820 Said the leader of the auxiliary plant of the United Nations, Philipo Grandi to the FAZ. 00:36:57.520 --> 00:37:01.460 But he called the attitude of the chancellor courageous. 00:37:02.120 --> 00:37:05.060 She commits herself for a european solution. 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:38.160 He is the producer of Channel Welcome and want to act in the background but the worry about a life dream and the fear of people which is partly dumb and partly seductive, 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:44.080 partly acted from power calculus and with that everybody is dangerous. 00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:50.000 Brought him to the conclusion to speak the commentary of this show himself. 00:37:50.960 --> 00:38:03.920 The united states of Europe. 00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.200 His name was Karl Gellner but we just called him Charly 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.000 and he was my teacher in the first years of school. 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:16.280 Expelled after the 2. world war out of Transylvania which i didn´t understand as a 11 or 12 year old. 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:24.960 I belonged to the rebellious children of the class of what im not proud of and we haven´t respected no teacher besides Charly Gellner. 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:35.600 He let stand up the whole class after the school and asked: What are we committed to?
