5:17 pm
fresh incident it has gotten tougher definitely if. it's ok. helping refugees is more than a job for tomas clinton he has become friends with many of them considering them almost like family. thomas is a good man he's very kind and very. kind is there of the refugees need help understanding german bureaucracy language or culture. i don't know certain rules i don't know certain cultural mechanisms but you can't just say sims alabaman poof you know you know what's inside of payments please dear god no it seems out of them is what you say to get magic to happen.

for many thomas clan is the only person of trust in a city that's 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. 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 didn't let them in english but then they started smashing the door and windows with it and eventually they managed to
5:19 pm
destroy them we all stayed in this spot here and just made sure they didn't 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 wasn't more. he hopes that here in germany the a.f.p. has developed recently with the swing to the right. there's so much animosity. but we do not agree with this animosity in our approach neither as individuals or as
5:20 pm
a nightclub. we're hanging on to what we have in common. in his hair from right on cue. going after him calls me he usually has a phone issue. high after i'm good how are you how's your foundering. and i just. sort of. the fresh attack threatens to overturn everything he has done in the past few years to make his hometown open to everyone. who frankfurt is just the right size it was last a few inhabitants but it's 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 that was in 7th grade to my mother said to me listen there is exactly one male kindergarten teacher in the whole of east germany and i
5:21 pm
guarantee you're 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 that obviously i thought about it for 20 minutes went to the interview and straight to my old boss to resign unfortunately he asked effective when and i said effective immediately. that's what you love so i was out of i.t. and into social work within a week. money didn't matter much to me i just wanted to do this job and if that meant $1000.00 euros a month less than so be it this is. working with all 4 machines was too far away from what actually really matters to me so we're big for him but i think if you to us. on the other hand he doesn't have much free time these days. well before the
5:22 pm
refugees came i used to go fishing and now there's no time. kind of size. the best the total best part about my job is that i'm passionate about everything every single day you know legs of the board and 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
5:23 pm
proudly as open and welcoming. when the new mayor rene felker 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. 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 in 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 of his these some of these people have had so many 2nd chances this is more like their 15th chance that's why the show through the additional some time you
5:24 pm
know. one of the attackers many of whom were known to the police already disagrees putting down his involvement to the back that it's 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 under. mohammad hogg mostafa is from syria he was detained for some time after the attack and is awaiting trial. he's 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 don't think this. is how. i never got a fair chance to say a german goes and does something bad to me am i supposed to think all germans are bad so we all have to pay for it under the full no why do others have to suffer if they didn't do anything wrong that's the big problem here or this is the course of
5:25 pm
their life. 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 the 2 of our friends girls who are german then told the driver they didn't do anything and they're 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 fresh attackers are now in jail what do you think will be the best way to help them . keep her in jail. it keeps them in jail. those that evil this is the best solution. to masses job has also
5:26 pm
become harder. i try to meet refugees any chance i get in the places where they hang out. with us one of the effects of the fresh incident was that yes the town might seem safer now to some but it's also way harder for me to find people. so why are so many refugees staying home now. they were constantly asked for their papers because the best skin color this was true for africans who got checked all the time and the 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 liquid in the end for us as a company people stayed away for months after that incident for this. why should
5:27 pm
we ordinary people have to deal with such problems. how can people who we welcomed with open arms turn around and her to so badly. that's why i totally understand and support rene bill because policy of saying enough only this far but no more for. me but the mayor himself is struggling. on and. but i'm doing is it maybe even some measures are available to me others are not and i would like to have trauma centers so we could understand that people came here having lived through stuff that we can't even imagine the deviant going to force their wonderful dog we could then take care of them or give them their peace actions would certainly be educational measures and social work to help them but i don't have the means for that many bilker solved the problem but he did not remove the root cause. of the. muslims in
5:28 pm
order to be afraid of me as a listener not a monster. and i just want to live in peace in. frankfurt is capable of becoming open and friendly and whatever people 1st have to get rid of their own insecurities which won't many of them but have nothing to do with the refugees was because i did. well the city and its inhabitants manage i hope so. wellington biden is a savior of the forest. he calls 210 acres of land in central gonna his own he's
