from the money was. no mas. selamat it's dangerous to think that we couldn't lose our freedom again we need to remain vigilant if we don't it could be taken from us step by step. and get up. to smash the semitism racism center 5 pm whatever form it takes it has always existed and always will again it's up to us to decide to stop these processes it's our responsibility. to. have spoken. sort of the unknown i believe there are many ties that bind young

europeans together for the same because we're fighting for a better united europe in which everyone has the same opportunities in they are not must go so the gun. law. with continuous make us interesting. but we feel a new wave of activism across europe and it's going to give me hope. to.
10:18 am
get involved to me what i'd best be you know what i used to take place and what i value about europe for granted you would get more than ever i have a sense that it's actually something we young people need to fight for the title comes to listen. to me. who caused the holocaust have you ever had this with the full. nicked model just not. you have never had it before ok. have bought or what a good mr god i was born to a jewish mother and a non jewish father just part of the nazis called people like him michel meaning a mixed race or half jews he was that's why he wasn't accorded to a concentration camp straight away like many others and managed to survive quite so once you are going to protect what he had to do forced labor. was the event what's
10:19 am
your impression of it reminds me of my granddad ok yeah ok was that the smile that he looks wait 3 years i was 5 i met. a guy who looks pretty old but he looks intelligent. enough here i know the jewish people want allowed to do certain things i thought everyone from back then was dead but they're not there that's what i learned today. i was just. a sophistic thus it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. my pulse is that here it was much worse than a 100 lines to what my mother used to tell me what happened one day i'll tell my own children about it because it's important to know my lads in vice this show on this show that i.
10:20 am
wasn't sure of its new songs the current government has managed to instill a fear of in the currents and the general public the idea that they bring disease and pose a threat for national for all purposes a closure and have turning people against one another and inciting fear like reports the worst are. just temps my gosh. and you know all this get all your advice for your boss get a car to go ok thank you but i touched. a special just the toll we are placed up so i was getting all the delegates are you hardly ever going to find out that
10:21 am
i am going to the poll that i'm just that's in that we have a serious problem with nationalism yes and the government accepts that we're seeing a growing number of attacks on the streets against people because of their background or sexual orientation as it's been noted as it's well known where it's a. little hostile most of the writers and i'm instructions like these patriotism has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who imagine it doesn't belong to that although that the most artists is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes locust of this also there's a relation to aggression and i sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd so that's just that's just as i'm getting out of here i apologize good things a this isn't the right place to try and find common ground is to get with it there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this lot. it wasn't himself. along
10:22 am
with us just not seeing a lot of young people in athens and greece grew up with the idea of a united europe social movement and a europe that offers everyone equal. all opportunities are open most of it is go. overboard but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed little bit. of the feel when it was the port of heroes it's the biggest in the country and one
10:23 am
of the biggest in europe. just coming up when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port mistook him on the ballot. this fall to solve this sea and this ports are symbols of the journey so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey on the compass and unfortunately also of the deaths of many people of the stiffest but many of them drowned when their boats capsized. this issue ation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with a problem it's not the food to speak european union has taken a step back but because of the show.
10:24 am
will be just another bike or just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. which is home to 500000000 people. most of the gulf they owe it all all personally i see immigration more as an opportunity than a threat. when you believe in yourself that things need to change now and no one else is doing it and it's you responsibility to do it and in the worst situation you fell and you try again. i was 22 when we created a robot which is the plan you can put in. before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited an extremely long time if i joined the
10:25 am
traditional basi really i could have but i think that there's a real edge and. when you look at global challenges like migration flows climate change fiscal justice we don't have a choice but to deal with those issues that you can. avoid the what actually means energy the unit of measure of energy we want to end it and part of fix but most importantly the same way that in every single language and see how it. all behind the same. increase of growth as a result. 6 there was so many wrong things happening and we really foots the continent was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my head of that in france in germany the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on
10:26 am
there put ok let's create a new policy. and. so he starts its work on the idea and i was helping out and then we had a man who joins and we had to create a national party is to be able to run for elections but we're running on one program. to see europe's younger generation is waking up 70 percent of votes members have never been politically active before. that responding to populism with this. vision of a tolerant united 11 volt is pushing for greater solidarity among the states and an economy that seems so environmentally sustainable the sex. i i i have 2 worlds a kind lighting here in the middle of warsaw where demonstrations of pro european
10:27 am
liberals and polish nationalists taking place side by side the police are out in force but the also reaching israeli crackdown on racist orencia semitic rallies was not so grassroots activists block far rights marches say that they were often penalized thanks. i think i was actually it was a it's not that we can't express our opinion or demonstrate against the government but increasingly you then face consequences if you're shot and might be searched one morning or you might be arrested as a demonstration that's you for now the justice system is still independent and we're fighting a legal battle to protect our rights but even the fact that this fight is necessary and we have to take it to the cool this is a worrying development go beyond china and have fellow lawyers do pro bono work on
10:28 am
behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic rights against the state. i think. i as a settlement professional notch this is about the role of law and you know as lawyers we help ensure there's a fair relationship between the powerful state and ordinary citizens who suddenly find themselves facing a court battle that stuff that's on them a prison today at home letting the sparks thank you very fulfilling work. helping is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words c.p.s. of course. the defendant on all charges yeah i'll just. as alex said then we look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves for that but there also i said this there's another. one of those.
10:29 am
dear mr potter we were very moved by your story. we were shocked by what you had to go through nowadays people are also discriminated against because of best skin color or their religion of the year you speak to them your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues here. isn't starts off so we have my have the courage and strength attack for you to share your story with us. i'm also writing a book about my journey to germany and the difficulty if i had in my own country. if you're interested in reading my book you can have it sent to you by the high mark zuckerberg association new best wishes lean hard like to read it in. terms of the number. yes that's gosnell's. how often. this is. that's is your belief for me personally there are always very touched by
10:30 am
these letters this year to you are going to. this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society bill improvement. and both are making a diverse and welcoming society is a society that truly values human dignity that's. really the 1st. we got stuck. as. you see. each candidate so i remember a time when no one would listen to our send our boys. this is were silenced. since. we're the last of this generation. listener to house better rights we need to realize what that means and rise to the task. not like the concentration camps themselves we the
10:31 am
survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there and we need to think around i will remember it even when there are no eyewitnesses laughed. i think mother of democracy. many layers especially now consumerist nowadays. if i look at democracy from the lens so journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays. with the media began during the financial crisis. the guard. many
10:32 am
jobs were cut and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses. so terrorist was one of the generalists who didn't comply in 2015 he launched an english language website about life in greece in the wake of the financial crisis athens life the nonprofit project is part of an international network of independent media the refugee crisis began shortly after its launch. visited the refugee camps to report on the situation. a little around the time the 1st big wave of refugees arrived in 26 team journalists had relatively easy access to the refugee centers it wasn't hard to get in to interview the people there.
10:33 am
is so stupid 50 a year in the refugee camp there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. felt the media accounts of their story. still so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. so busy at the 1st mover just because. they said that's not it would be after 8 months. off the newspaper. the men off they came to our son said how well they read. and just. for us. and. i think it was the. us. because we have to change the mind of afghan men about.
10:34 am
the choice to name our new space and my bets on to list we believe week with fly through this news. with spain if allied to germany if the. votes candidate in from. dream of securing a seat in the european parliament never got off the ground. she blames the french political systems complicated administrative rules. when you vote in germany and in almost every european country you do this on
10:35 am
a single ballot trances different you have one ballot per party and this means that parties are responsible for printing their own ballots in the 1st place and. the parties so to print for the european elections it's amounted to approximately close to 1000000 euros which for a new political party is almost impossible and to this is added the fact that we couldn't open a bank account for a very long time because the financing those pretty pretty queer situations are so strict that every bank refused so we couldn't open a bank account so we couldn't collect money supreme ballots which meant that we couldn't run over. it's extremely difficult to accept that because of some. rules and the lack of democracy from the government you have to stop so it was for me it was heartbreaking to have to start this way you know
10:36 am
nothing that i did because you can convince people is one thing being stopped by you your own country and the system in place from being able to represent and from me able to partake in society is heartbreaking. colombe remains undeterred she's continuing to work on behalf of votes in other european countries in london she's campaigning for andrea evans on who had initially planned to run for election in italy. but there too a new part. he has little hope of getting anywhere. near that it would be a logistical nightmare was to run of course you have to because you have different legal systems and systems to run for election and it is the case we can run in a countries but we can't run in many opposite.
10:37 am
the father my grandfather and grandfathers or people competing with me here would not even be able to stay in the same room after the civil war and now we are. brothers we can never imagine a war on these on this continent is something that only be brought to us and that we should have an up or not. i don't believe you because it's you but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project that generation needs to make. me from the moment people nationalist movements so far right sponsor there's a reason for it i don't agree with it but this commute reason puts people on the dump put on
10:38 am
a mean if they're going to do such extreme put it it's because one they feel a little like this. when you have a part of the nation that is suffering from hunger that doesn't have access to housing. that's not a peaceful society people struggle for their lives. and i have prayed for the security it's not a piece of the society. belltower is also campaigning for a fairer society she worked some behalf of victims of the housing crisis. horrible in a poor start up here and needs more social justice 1st there's a housing crisis across europe we need a europe wide mass movement calling for a right to housing it would benefit everyone. just what. is 80 she's lived
10:39 am
in this apartment for over 70 years now she's been given notice. well there. but at it almost all of the renters have had to move out already that got out i'm one of the last has left but i'm continuing to fight the landlord is doing everything in its power to force me out. and i've been intimidated i've had nasty phone calls in the middle of the night that all i could hear were strange noises as if someone was telling me i would be hung out to dry that. but it's a good little trenchcoats very hard to protect someone against a forced eviction morning extreme rent times like this are the law isn't really on the side of renters were fighting for the right to housing to be recognized as a human rights the wish to be able to.
10:40 am
i join you heard this in the particulars we lawyers don't usually go on picnics with that car it's yours but we've known one another while i'm out of them since they were the 1st renters i represented i remember how nervous and stressed i was for us but that's never support it bonded us we've come a long way since then but we've stayed friends with a. couple of months about audiences help was invaluable but without her support i would have slipped into debt and even do that today as some people have suffered heart attacks because of the stress if we didn't have to be out of working for us for free we have all ended up sleeping under bridges madly through a. recession where prices are out of the box and working with elderly people i'm with people who have no money keeps me grounded it's just that when you see social inequality firsthand don't see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight to clear his
10:41 am
name though of. on saturdays so tedious meets up with the young journalists outside the refugee camp together they planned the next edition of the newspaper. then the home of the we're not out to craft brilliant articles and win a pulitzer prize it's about young people coming together and learning how to express themselves why are you guys this is all mater with us talk about your odds with me. are from your heart i'm 17 you're still the next me through all. your articles called for 4 hours let's talk you know back to the 1st do one says no one got back by the group so that's my goal. has not caught up well letting our audience paper brings together different nationalities and religions almost all have
10:42 am
a project like this would never be possible in the countries i come from. because of racism and religious differences. it was known that someone says that they should last through most of the team you go to welcome everybody this is another show of the regular down the line. go through. the newspaper project the young refugees have also started a podcast i. should know in it they explore questions such as what does democracy actually mean. people are living here since 15 years 20 years i think 30 years but i asked one of the persons are you watering this year and he said no i cannot because i mean granted that we have don't have the right toward an election in european elections so what we should do as a shy need for their integration into their new society.
10:43 am
when my family 1st arrived in germany people gave us so much help my parents were clueless they couldn't speak the language they didn't know they have to register or where they had to go to do so i remember an elementary school teacher who was just amazing to me that my family and i had come from russia i never felt like an outsider and that's how i'd like it to be for people today. and if rejection and fear of the 1st things you encounter then things aren't going to go well. for them . it's about 6 months ago or maybe a bit longer and i was in the metro with my friend. and a group of men and got into. one of them had
10:44 am
a bottle of beer. and i took to it over some guy's head and insulted him in a racist way sisters but i just. thought it was very aggressive and i just instinctively stood up and challenge him. on the fact that 2 things that bothered me most were that no one else got involved . and it may be very sad that the guy had to go through that and just shrugged it off in a resigned way as if to say you know this kind of thing happens to me every day. specifically the entire. amount of times. smile with any gestures of support from other students when neighbors call anyone at all. to me go hard not to do no one help
10:45 am
or hurt no evidence no one helped we become social outcasts. it does although for as you are for one for europe we invasion in 1945 was a different one it was a europe that would grow together for a unified. stock sargon fragment is least i won't i don't worry. about i also have faith that today's younger generation will try to just as we do i would ask is to share a better world so we started by so in that sense. i am optimistic about the future of europe and it's an igor said so-called shows for oprah.
10:46 am
as it is today called likewise all of that if he can keep it all came his own mccrone started out i hope that he would present a new political vision will be kitty kelley poll on illegal p.c. it says i soon realized he didn't have a political program and citigroup is no question about it and that is one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of fun at it because it is what i saw happening was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values was to open it to completely it was right. and this had moved to kansas i was opposed to late i confident that today one of us will have a seat in the european parliament whether in germany on kerry or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters amy chua's i'd hope that we could stand in
10:47 am
france and italy and defense are inevitable i will run next time we'll call it that was a fox. hi everyone i just voted in the european elections you can actually put words in 8 countries so make sure that you've got a new foods have a good day. want to control you know you have them come past and then which initiate you get to that's not a country so so convenient and on this journey you have a particular spot points out of stuff that you passed on i can be put in a channel. and you see you know it so why hasn't. the train which is something that you don't expect to see here you know be important to.
10:48 am
historical events or history doesn't repeat itself in exactly the same way but human nature is what it is man. it won't be long before the last holocaust survivors have died. samia believes that makes memorial sites all the more important they document the atrocities committed by the nazis. on the annual walk from auschwitz to birkenau thousands remember the dead and pay their respects to the survive as a sign i survived for $360.00 days. that's off a lot of the shows our lives we hope that so many people from all over the world gather
10:49 am
here for the annual march of the living and have been doing so for about 3 decades . that's my passion it ensures that history is remembered and the stories will never be forgotten i believe. it's pretty seamless but we are one i'm very touched by the students and to be one of them pointed out that the science people are carrying on like gravestones for people who were denied them even if you're happy. for. i feel this can help survivors a lot and others feel it's a good game knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through right.
10:50 am
now they have battled back to mr vargas said that he hopes our generation will fight for a society that respects the dignity of all and welcomes everyone you know that's. the message i'm getting today is that i will write from him with me. even look like they are tailored right now democracy is in crisis so it's all the more important that we journalists support independent projects such as migratory birds and our nonprofit website well the more we boost the entertainment media the better it is for democracy and you're thinking about the amounts. we'll.
10:51 am
just. put i mean i'm pretty excited. we've been working towards this for 2 months. in the finally i get to pick up a new copy of our newspaper. then when i would if this is the only newspaper by and for refugees you can buy in greece i'm very happy that it's not about. listening and then it's maybe paper gives a voice to people who haven't been heard so far. with this project we're helping change the public's view of refugees for the better we get mail from readers who say that the newspaper has even made them reflect on their own lives of thinking that maybe. they never do this on some days i feel very tired. i feel like what i'm doing with my activism
10:52 am
goes far beyond the call of duty. and i think wow it's a lot of work but at the end of the day it's very gratifying it's the 1st like. everybody here. i think did. a. that isn't so i was a boy i want my country poland to respect human rights and up hold the rule of law i fight for these principles in the courts salads on the. weekends but out with joe dumars that my client was filmed at an anti-government demonstration by polish state t.v. and described on a new show as a common provocateur where demanding an apology from the t.v.
10:53 am
station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated on. the growth of interest groups like us this is the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station to repeat and not the other way round this is my biggest case so far and it's a landmark case for society that most of my guess is very challenging but i feel good about it like it was negative i feel i'm defending european values and contributing to something important that sparks it it does but it says i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law as well but to the market it's there but it was wrong that. it was good because for example i love my job i love sorting out the final details the night before a court appearance the adrenaline on the day that it was especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i guess i get very invested in the whole
10:54 am
thing interest to reach the what is it with and we are. all. in court spatter describes how her client has suffered both personally and professionally because of the t.v. report. he's had to switch jobs and he feels he's been publicly shamed just because. in the end the hearing is a gent and not for the 1st time. the case is put on hold for 6 months. but they look at it from a condition side and on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases if that's the full 40 percent of our cases a program that's the problem we represent people with no money who are fighting what we see as an important case. there are many lawyers in poland's doing what we do. but the some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what matters to
10:55 am
me is that i see results. if my client gets to stay in their apartment a refugee is granted papers to stay in poland my work can improve people's lives. i try to make sure they get their morning made me and can sleep at night so i don't want to start small going and. living. basically their gardens 1st projections of books like i mean i mean. it's all we have we can't so dreadfully yet but it looks good really good thanks to your group. now. you. told me it. was 2 years ago we created books and we had 0 idea of how politics actually went. 2 years in and this is why been but it's
10:56 am
a entire day i'm so proud of what we have achieved. we can't name countries we manage to do well but it's a gun fight is we have almost $40000.00 volunteers so obviously i hope that we are going to be like them once and i think our. way. no i. mean does this new cause this is an amazing success for faults in germany and an amazing success for european democracy physically in this image shows that in just over 2 years we managed to rally together people across the continent reminds them with a positive democratic vision and a shared program. with an opposing t.v.
10:57 am
them kardashian nothing just. to show that we can do it. people but i'm getting elected to prove evidence based policy has been fought using puppets discourse and and we give a lot of changing the political landscape one small step at a time. i mean everyone has a world of pain in politics and and in society as a whole to make food even to society it doesn't he said you have to be in office that many ways to laugh at but i think the time to sit back and hope that all this will do it plus. and everyone has a response if you keep going you'll get a complaint if we don't do anything today is to leave.
