3000. Im not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but they said nothing with the 10. Deep into german culture. To take this drama to you its all out there no time rachel join me for me to get a hold. Of you. As a social worker who works with refugees in frankfurt odor. For a while the city which is not far from berlin was considered a successful example of integration. But then a group of refugees attacked the frosch nightclub. They only got to this point we didnt let them get in. But they kept smashing the windows. High since the frost incident it has gotten tougher definitely if. Its ok. Helping refugees is more than a job for Tomas Clinton he has become friends with many of them considering them almost like family dont miss thomas is a good man hes very kind and very. Kind is there of the refugees need help understanding german bureaucracy language or culture. They dont know certain rules i dont know certain cultural mechanisms but you cant just say sims alabaman poof you know you know whats inside of a mans please dear god knows some sort of game is what you say to get magic to happen. Exactly but. For many thomas clan is the only person of trust in a city thats become more hostile to refugees though this was not always the case. Since reunification many locals have left the city especially young people who have moved to berlin which is not so far away but much more vibrant. So the authorities saw what some call the refugee crisis of 2015 as an opportunity to repopulate the city. Refugees received a warm welcome and started to make the city their home. Since the fresh incident fewer refugees can be seen out and about in the city and those who still go out feel less at ease than they used to. One night in august 28th was enough to change the atmosphere completely this is when a group of refugees attacked the pasha nightclub unexpectedly. It just came out of nowhere and they only got to this point we didnt let them in but then they started smashing the door and windows with it and eventually they managed to destroy them we all stayed in this spot here and just made sure they didnt enter the club while avoiding being stopped by them through the window or they really targeted us. The incident was triggered by an altercation between a german man and a syrian man over a young woman. As the conflict escalated the syrian called on his friends for help a group of 10 to 15 men who turned up with knives and iron rods attacking anyone in their path. The manager was able to bring most of the clubbers to safety but to ended up in hospital a miracle it wasnt more. He felt that here in germany the a. F. P. Has developed recently with a swing to the right. Theres so much animosity. But we do not agree with this animosity in our approach neither is individuals or as a nightclub. Where hanging on to what we have in common. In his hair from right on cue. From calls me he usually has a phone issue. High after im good how are you hows your foundering. In. The fresh attack threatens to overturn everything he has done in the past few years to make his hometown open to everyone. Frankfurt is just the right size it was lost a few inhabitants but its getting a bit better now. Thomas always wanted to work with people but he had to put his dream aside for a while. When i actually wanted to become a Kindergarten Teacher but that was in 7th grade to my mother said to me listen there is exactly one male can be gotten teacher in the whole of east germany and i guarantee youre not going to be the 2nd one. Instead he ended up working in i. T. For 15 years before being offered a job as a social worker or did i wish i thought about it for 20 minutes went to the interview and straight to my old boss to resign. Unfortunately diaz effective when i said effective immediately. Of what little so i was out of i. T. And into social work within a week. Money didnt matter much to me i just wanted to do this job and if that meant 1000. 00 euros a month less then so be it this is. Working with all 4 machines was too far away from what actually really matters to me so were big for him but i think if you see us. On the other hand he doesnt have much free time these days. Well before the refugees came i used to go fishing and now theres no time. Kind of side. The best attire the best part about my job is that im passionate about everything every single day you know id have to bring in god no matter what the issue it gets me going in a positive sense. But the fresh incident put a dent in his attitude the whole city was in shock. Frankfurt had just voted in a new mayor a candidate put forward by the greens and the left party. The city presented itself proudly as open and welcoming. When the new mayor decided to take radical action and deport the attackers he caused a stir both in his own left party and the city as a whole. As his ethmoid i 1st heard about renee villagers plan i was really angry and sad because i never would have thought that he would even consider doing Something Like bad let alone actually do it. But the mayor says that he wanted to avoid the incident being instrumental ised by the far right. The only one of the normal course of the uncertainty among the population was simply enormous and i wanted to make sure that everything was done by the book today we know that in 3 cases the sentences are so harsh that they are likely to be deported 3 to 4 car i was this some of these people have had so many 2nd chances this is more like their 15th chance if and when its the through traditional sometime you know. One of the attackers many of whom were known to the police already disagrees putting down his involvement or the fact that its difficult for refugees to find their feet in germany at distances i had really gotten a chance a real chance then maybe things would have gone differently this is under. Mohammad hogg mostafa is from syria he was detained for some time after the attack and is awaiting trial. Hes also become a father on goods right now all i know is work home Family Building something for the future of it why are you going back to the force club i dont think so. I never got a fair chance to say a german who goes and does something bad to me am i supposed to think all germans are bad so they all have to pay for it under the full no why do others have to suffer if they didnt do anything wrong thats the big problem here or this is the course of. This is how some of the other refugees also see the situation they say life has become more difficult since the attack. Now many germans think all syrians are the same they only cause trouble and so on and that everybody looks at us asking you me nothing but problems why do you want to destroy our country. Recently on the bus the driver came up to us just telling us to get off as are 2 of our friends girls who are german then told the driver they didnt do anything and theyre not going to get off. But many also blame the attackers for the upsurge in tension. For the flush too but i believe 7 of the attackers are now in jail what do you think would be the best way to help them. Keep them in jail. It keeps them in jail. Thats evil this is the best solution. Thomas says job has also become harder. I try to meet refugees any chance i get in the places where they hang out. One of the effects of the fresh incident was that yes the town might seem safe and now to some but its also way harder for me to find people. So why are so many refugees staying home now. While they were. And they ask for their papers because the best skin color this was true for africans who got checked all the time and arabs who are always being stopped over petty stuff humans are affected by such discriminator retreatment when they realize they are being treated differently and i definitely believe that the situation has gotten worse in frankfurt. The brush nightclub has clung on but the spirit has changed the course of look because of the end of the Company People stayed away for months after that incident for if they could be. Why should we ordinary people have to deal with such problems vico how can people who we welcomed with open arms turn around and her to so badly. Thats why i totally understand and support rene bill has a policy of saying enough only this far but no more for. Me but the mayor himself is struggling. The thing is that maybe some measures are available to me and others are not i would like to have Trauma Centers so we could understand that people came here having lived through stuff that we cant even imagine the deviant going to force their hand of we could then take care of them would give them the therapy sessions with the other big Educational Measures and social work to help them but i dont have the means for that many bilker solved the problem but he did not remove the root cause. Of the other. One which you know to be afraid of me is to listen im not a monster. And i just want to live in peace. Outrank earth is capable of becoming open and friendly and whatever people 1st have to get rid of their own insecurities which wont many of them but have nothing to do with the refugees was because i did. The city and its inhabitants manage i hope sir. Its quite as simple as it seems. To understand the why. We need to take a closer look. Experience knowledge of voltage.
