She says: "We waited a lot to get the temporary residence, after that we went to the court in order to Inquire, then we knew that we lost our appointment in the court, because of what that administrator has done, she came of Nazi origins and reluctant to Syrians, besides, it was not the first time that she do so. "
The Syrian refugee Ammar’s residence also has been damaged by the German administrator of the camp, what forced him to restart all the procedures. Ayat and Ammar’s attempts to complain to the authorities concerned were all ended in failure, and all what they have done was to move the German administrator to another camp.

Murder!

Rasha, a Syrian refugee in Berlin, says that after her cousin’s escape of the war and the military service in Syria, and arriving in Germany, he lost his life four months ago, where he was found hanging by the neck on a tree in the gardens of the city, his body has been mutilated in an ugly way, according to her.
She confirms, that the young man named "Mohammed", did not exceed the 20-year-old, was about to marry the girl whom he loves and did not have any enemies, she added: "What surprised his family was that the police did not inform them of the incident, until three days after the fact, while the coroner's report indicated that he had been stabbed before hanging, and the police did not announce the identity of the killers so far, but his family insists on accusing the Nazis."
Pros and cons
According to Anna, one of the Germans volunteers in Berlin camps, several reasons have led to growing the phenomenon of violence against refugees in Germany, and perhaps the most important reason is that most of the refugees are Muslims.
She says: "many Germans believe that the Muslim refugees may commit bad things and crimes sometimes, plus they are getting money and housing for free, while some Germans lack for that, what upset them strongly."
On the other side Anna does not hide some positives of the refugees’ arrival in Germany, especially that the German government needs the young employment in the country, in order to renew the energies of German society, notes that Germany has more than 80 million people, and the numbers of refugees not many there.
An opinion poll conducted by Channel One, the German semi-official TV, said that 83% of Germans feel ashamed of attacks on refugee homes, and 83% of the politicians polled Germans called for condemning these crimes strongly, while 58% felt that the authorities have not taken sufficient action to protect foreigners and refugees from racist attacks.
