a concentration camp straight away like many others and managed to survive on top so once la got to protect what he had to do for slave life most of the event what's your impression of him he reminds me of my granddad ok ok was that. he looks wait. this out but i. figure he looks pretty old but he looks intelligent. i know the jewish people want allowed to do certain things that i thought everyone from back then was dead but they're not there that's what i learned today. i was just i thought. this is a mistake that it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. my pulse is this here it was much worse than a 100 lines to my mother used to tell me what happened one day i'll tell my own children
3:20 am
about it because it's important to know my allowed to invite the strongest for them i. wasn't so but it is wrong the current government has managed to instill a fear of immigrants and the general public the idea that it's going to zoom sometimes a transformational for all purposes a closure and them turning people against one another and inciting fear like perhaps the worst are. just attempts by god of. there's a fine line you know most of all your advice for your boss get what they call it up thank you but i
3:21 am
cut the post to show she was the shortest at the till we are at least i felt i was getting all the delegates out of your heart of illegality thank you i thank you i. began to chuckle that and yes that's a we have a serious problem with nationalism yes and the government accepts that we're seeing a growing number of attacks on the street and its people because of their background all sexual orientation is a little out in texas as well now where it's a. tough one is the cost of most of the writers and instructions like these patriotism has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who in matthew doesn't belong to that although the most i say is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes focused on this post there's a latent aggression and i sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd of that stuff just as i'm getting out of here kid didn't say this isn't the right
3:22 am
place to try and find common ground to stick with every said there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this lot. it was himself. along with us nothing 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 open mysterious go. overboard but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed little bit.
3:23 am
of the feel of the moment oh it was the port of heroes it's the biggest in the country and one of the biggest in europe. when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port misses them on the ballot. this fall to solve this sea and this ports are symbols of the journeys so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey to complain unfortunately also of the deaths of many people especially if but many of them drowned when their boats capsized. this issue ation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with the problem because it's not an abuse to speak european union has taken a step back but because of the visual. the
3:24 am
images and i will buy clothes just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. got that which is home to 500000000 people. social because they owe it all all personally i see immigration more as an opportunity than a threat. when you believe in yourself that can speak to change now and no one else is doing it and it's true responsibility to do it and in the was situation you fell and you try again. i was 22 when we created which is the plan you can put it.
3:25 am
before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited in the extremely long time if i drank the traditional boxy reading i could have but i think that this we will see. 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 cannot. avoid the what actually energy the unit of measure of energy we want to end it and politics but most important is the same way that in every single language so you have. all behind the same. creative goals as a result. 6 there was so many wrong things happening and we need the
3:26 am
confident was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my hand up in france in germany the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on the output ok let's create a you. and me. so he starts its work on the idea for a bit and i was helping out and then we had a man who joins and we had to create a national party to be able to run for actions 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. they responding to populism with this. vision of a tolerant to 92 year old volunteers pushing for greater solidarity among the states and an economy that is so environmentally sustainable the sex.
3:27 am
i want to world's a kind lighting here in the middle of walsall where demonstrations of pro european liberals and polish nationalists taking place side by side the police are out in force but they also are chains rarely crackdown on racist or anti semitic rallies i think so grassroots activists block far rights marches to that they're often penalized thanks to the times i feel i there's action there was a it's not that we can't express our opinion or demonstrate against the government but increasingly them face consequences you're so hot 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
3:28 am
and we have to take it to the cool this is a worrying development that go beyond china and help fellow lawyers do pro bono welcome behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic rights against the state. i think. i as i said i'm a special 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 study upsets on them couples and today it was those folks thank you very fulfilling work. helping is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words sick yes of course. it's the defendant on all charges it's just the hotel itself and we look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves but there are such a. dear
3:29 am
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 a skin color or their religion. or a gift to them your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues here. isn't starts of see we have my i have the courage and strength attack for you to share your story with us it's hard all the time i'm also writing a book about my journey to germany and the difficulties 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. president bush's lame like to read it in. the house of the moment. so yes that's gosnell's tough tough.
3:30 am
there is a. that's isn't for me for my heroes. here i'm always very touched by these letters this year do you regret nerds. this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society will improve it but it is a shift and and i thought make it a diverse and welcoming society is a society that truly values human dignity its. legal question. yes. back then i thought of. just. can you did some remember a time where no one would listen to us and our voices were silenced. and since. this internet we're the last of this generation. we don't listen to house better rights we need to realize what that
3:31 am
means even so and rise to the task of. naca like the concentration camps themselves we the survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there that we need to think about and i will remember it even when there are no eyewitnesses left starting out scum. i think smothers democracy. many layers especially nothing serious nowadays. the fight a look at democracy from the land so journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays.
3:32 am
is the single nipple hit the media bought all of them with the media began during the financial crisis and asked the guard called compatible luckily my many jobs were cut up with their list and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses when i'm at dawson fertile. soteris was one of the journalists who didn't comply in 2015 he launched an english language website about life in greece in the wake of the financial crisis athens live 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. 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. you.
3:33 am
see them from. the field you're in the refugee camp there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. tell the media accounts of their story. so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. because we at the 1st move very just. they said that's not. after. the newspaper. men off they come came to our son said oh paul they read. and just. for us. and.
3:34 am
i think it was the. us. because we very well could change their mind about. the choice to name our new space on my. list the. week with fly through the news. with spain if i lied to my. nombre was votes candidate in from. but her dream of securing a seat in the european parliament never got off the ground. she blames the french
3:35 am
political system is complicated administrative rules. when you vote in germany and in almost every european country you do this on a single ballot france is 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 better 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 of those pretty pretty questions are so strict that every bank refuses so we couldn't open a bank account so we couldn't collect money to print ballots which meant that we couldn't run over. 60 musical to accept that because of some really messed up rules and the lack of democratic will from the government you
3:36 am
have to stop so it was for me it was heartbreaking to have to start this way you know nothing that i did because you can convince people is one thing being stopped by you your own country and this is the main place from being able to represent others 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 andrei events on who had initially plans to run for election in italy. but to a new part. he has little hope of getting anywhere. he lives and it would be a logistical nightmare to run across europe because you have different ecosystems and systems to run for election and it is the case we can run in countries but we
3:37 am
can't run in many. my grandfathers and grandfathers or people come be with me here even be able to feel the same room after the 2nd world war and now we are. brothers i can never imagine a war on these. is something that only brought us and that we should 1st serve an up or not. i don't believe in you because it's you but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project that generation need to make sure we.
3:38 am
meet 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 the i mean if they're going to turn to such extreme put it it's because one they feel a bit 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 peaceful society people struggle for their lives. and i have prayed. reality is also campaigning for a fairer society she what some behalf and victims of the housing crisis. out of the building up or stoke up i hear it needs more social justice 1st there's a housing crisis across europe we need a europe wide mass movement calling for
3:39 am
a right to housing it was benefit everyone just what he believes is 80 she's lived in this apartment for the 70 years now she's been given notice. this is true. but added almost all of the renters have had to move out already that i'm one of the last has left that i'm continuing to face. the landlord is doing everything in its power to force me out. i have 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 dude with the french gets very hard to protect someone against a forced eviction or an extreme rent time to sleep through the law isn't really on the side of renters it's worth fighting for the right to housing to be recognized as a human right. but
3:40 am
jane you heard this in the 3 lawyers don't usually go on picnics with that car it seems but we've known one another while none of them says 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. that bomb us about our day out as help was invaluable without test support i would have slipped into debt and even drew dr judy as some people have stuff. heart attacks because of the stress if we didn't have to be out and working for us for free we have all ended up sleeping under bridges madly. decision my friends out of the public and working with elderly people i'm with
3:41 am
people who have no money keeps me grounded it's just that when you see social inequality firsthand and see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight to continue up. on saturdays so serious meets up with a young journalist outside the refugee camp together they plan the next edition of the newspaper. then the home of the word out to craft brilliant articles and won a pulitzer prize it's about young people coming together and learning how to express themselves whom one big yard guys this is omar with us talk about iraq because. i'm from iraq i'm serving in you're the oldest you cannot see me through all. those calls for 4 hours that's talking about is the 1st one says you know when you got back by the certain group so that's my goal.
3:42 am
to fit in with. your kids know a lot of our newspaper brings together different nationalities and religions almost all have 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 is there that they should. go to welcome everybody this is another show of the radio down the line on. go. along with the newspaper project the young refugees have also started a podcast i. share 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 ask one of the persons are you walking this year and he said no i cannot because i mean we're going to do really i don't have the right toward an election
3:43 am
in european elections so what we should do as a shy thing for the rings of rationing to their new society. that's when i thought 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 in elementary school teacher who was just amazing she knew 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 they ask 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
3:44 am
maybe a bit longer and i was in the metro with my friend. and a group of men i got in and. one of them had a bottle of beer yams and i tipped it over some guy's head and insulted him in a racist way sisters but i just. thought it was very aggressive and things i just instinctively stood up and challenge him. on the bank the 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 when i don't want to.
3:45 am
smile with any gestures of support from other students when neighbors call anyone at all. hard not to do and i want to help you know all of those. we have become social outcasts. does r.-o. for as you are for the feel of europe for univision to $945.00 was a different one it was a europe that would grow together and unify its hyuk sargon fragment me i was hard to work i. guess the whole the whole but i also have faith that today's younger generation will try in just as we did i would out of c.d.'s to shop a better world has restarted but also a nonsense did write off desire not to mr brown the future of europe and it and of course it so-called shorts are over.
3:46 am
as it is today called michael and all of that has happened it's like cyclical trend is the one micron started out my hope that he would present a new political vision well because it will come political purposes it seems i soon realized he didn't have a political program and suitable it will because i made that up and that is one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of format it makes me just what i saw happening was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values with it all but it's according to his right. hand these have moved on thanks i was opposed to late i confident that today one of
3:47 am
us will have a seat in the european parliament with that whether in germany don't carry out or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters to me because i had hoped that we could stand in france and italy and defense are inevitable i will run next time we'll call it up myself. hi everyone i just voted in the european elections you can actually vote for goods in 8 countries so make sure that you go out and you would have a good day. to help or to control how time passes and which initiate you get to that's not a country so you can still be in. on this journey you have a particular spot points out of stuff that you possibly can be put into a channel. and you know it so why isn't. on the train which is something that you don't expect to see here you know be important news to.
3:48 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 survivors. i survived for 360 days.
3:49 am
that's awfully large it was our lives we hope that so many people from all over the world gather 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. like it's going to miss billiards and i'm very touched by the students and the one of them pointed out that the signs people are carrying are like gravestones for people who were denied them if you're happy. for me and. i feel this can help survivors a lot in the obviously it's
3:50 am
a good game knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through our lives. and they have battled back to yeah does mr carter said that he hopes our generation will fight for a society that respects the dignity of all and welcomes everyone. but the message i'm getting today is that i will take from him the name. even with that they are tired 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 independent media the better
3:51 am
it is for democracy and you give him about the amounts. yes. but i mean that 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 one of the this is the only newspaper by and for refugees you can buy in greece i'm very happy about. this new minute 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 people that
3:52 am
maybe. they now do this on some days i feel very tired. i feel like what i'm doing with my activism 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 just the 1st month. ever lived here. i think. that's. a. but isn't so as a wife 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.
3:53 am
weekends but i would you know the ones that my client has filmed that an anti-government demonstration by polish state t.v. and described on a news show as a common provocateur where demanding an apology from the t.v. station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated on. the growth of interest groups that this is the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station t.v. pete and not the other way around but 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 it's like it does but it says i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law as well but if the market but it was wrong that. it was good enough for
3:54 am
example i love my job i love sorting out the final details the night before a court appearance the adrenaline on the day. especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i think yes i get very invested in the whole thing interest to reach the what is it most agree on that. 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 as to why. in the end the hearing is adjourned and not for the 1st time. the case is put on hold for 6 months. but if you look at the macwhich a different side on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases if you got the full 40 percent of our cases a program. we represent people with no money who are finding what we see as an
3:55 am
important case. there are many lawyers in poland's doing what we do. that the some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what matters to me is what i see results. there's more of me in my client gets to stay in their apartment my refugee is granted papers to stay in poland my work can improve people's lives that's what i try to make sure they get there. and can sleep at night. and move. basically their gardens 1st projections it looks like i mean i mean. it's so dreadful but it looks really good thanks to your group. now. you.
3:56 am
told me. well 2 years ago we made it cause we had 0 idea of how politics actually went. 2 years in and this is why i've been back it's if the entire day i'm so proud of what we have achieved. we campaign in countries we managed to built well but it's a gun fight as we have almost 40000 volunteers so obviously i hope that we are going to elect someone so i think our. way. now i. go see this is an amazing success for folds in germany and an amazing success for european democracy and safety in this image shows that in just over 2 years we managed to
3:57 am
rally together people across the continent the small minds and with a positive democratic vision and a shared program is the photo with an opposing t.v. them cards. that we can do it but i keep getting elected to prove evidence based policy has been fought using puppets discourse and and we keep it off 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 sure we get into the society it does it is that you have to be in office that many ways to live and making the time to sit back and hope that all this is gone and everyone has a response to be here and we'll get a complaint if we don't do anything today is to eat.
