watching yearbook, a good book. i remember one time a group of 4 or 5 of us from the zoning, bloom and house went to rostock main railway station, where they looked at, there was a change of schedule. so we couldn't get a train to lift and hug ana like norway. we didn't know the way i got back and all we could do was draw 3 sunflowers on the ground. i am having some locals understood and showed us how to get home back. my phone call at is now an intercultural advisor. she also arrived in ra stock as part of the contract workers scheme. first of all, can i still remember the date and siemens july 27th? 1981. i don't see that i wasn't even 18 and i've been east mid divide. i

lee. oh, just months after the last vietnamese arrived, the berlin wall fell. ah fair, east and west germans. it was the time of elation. but for vietnamese workers, it was a disappointment. as communist east germany crumbled, they faced an uncertain future. their job contracts came to an abrupt end. part of end of on the dock there the the for the fall of the wall we were kept separate but safe in the hobby. afterwards, i really noticed the negative aspects of being from vietnam, but then we felt at every single day how kind of they said things like east germany, brought you over here. now it's gone. so get lost. i'm

a go all kinds of verbal abuse, aarp be sinful, be sinful owner in during his turbulent time. vulcan rich to move to rostock. he remembers the mixed feelings of many of his fellow east germans. as far as i know, for sure there was the sense of excitement in post communist east germany, i view people were saying we have all these new opportunities and were enjoying the feeling of no longer being. so boxed in the i english links was i finished mitzo harvey over the practice rooms, but it wasn't so straightforward and practice one on deserve the flourishing landscapes promised by chancellor kohl failed to materialize. dish and certainly not as fast as people had expected. golly, so slow viewed as magick sloped harden. all right, isn't it? there's no chance of a job. so how can we be happy and it's all just helpless as a dog. this isn't what we took to the streets for lift and hug and was

a new housing estate in raw stock built in the 19 seventy's as a shall case of communist urban planning. barn after german reunification in 1990 unemployment saud. here to mainline a growing number of refugees were arriving in eastern germany. mostly from the former yugoslavia. many ended up in raw stock where the regional reception center for asylum seekers was housed in the same apartment complex as the workers dormitory for the vietnamese. this unemployment house would either done mafia, the people who were called gypsies faced a history of prejudices that went back generations in germany or shaunberger lots jordan baker door. now it resurfacing offline. the other dispute tarpon who buys me but still i would never have been able to imagine the things that happened then of us. i was stunned to say such pursuit the apartment block only had room for 300

asylum seekers and soon became overcrowded. oh, it in april 1992 the refugees center said it was unable to take in any more people the newly arrived roemer and since he were forced to live outside the apartment complex was right here. like all i let and i go along and then ag, the refugees lived in these alcoves through cal aminada. this one was a bit elevated. i looked up, they told them they'd throw their stuff all around the place, and it became a problem in with and yet yet to leave

the families spent weeks, he with no access to sanitary facilities or washrooms. the mood among local germans took a disturbing turn. me out. i'm not racist, but the way these people behave is simply unacceptable. and germany gave it or to law. so we have another busing and even more of them get them out of here into the forests. and they bonum. when i go in and take some photos on. yeah, i saw there cropping all over the place here. i found the ones you when you go to work in the morning, you have all these asylum seekers and romanians in your way was mama's arms. you worry about maybe getting whacked over the head. this is not ok. it has to change. when i'm done with

done as events, escalades, i was in listen, hawkins practically every day in the snow. and you could feel this resentment becoming more and more aggressive. it's houston, the bullish bureau, bought bought receive on august the 22nd, a crowd of people began to gather outside the san emblem in house. oh. as well. and as or old school, there was this really aggressive and highly charged atmosphere. done both love, you had young men smashing up pavement slabs boldly, mushroom style, and then starting to throw chunks of them towards the building. i wish to love this house. he's middleton 9. he's on his radi. afraid i was there. he just guessing you got my 14 year old son was there

to it and i said to the police, i don't care what you do. if my son throws a rock and hits an asylum seeker, but not a police officer, and i'd be happy to join in it. oh my god, they all gathered here, then buy it, and then they attacked us up and gumble they i was up above and saw it all. it was like in a movie, the police, his 1st response was to send a couple of dozen offices to the location. at 1st they didn't cross the gravity of the situation. the police kept sending reinforcements. one was michelle, a boat at just $21.00. he was head of a training unit. it was for him and distance. i was just a regular entry level,

police officer, leadings. he and that man carrying out the job you're assigned on that day. the reason is isn't it as a sticker on it, as it was, we went out on the operation with no idea of what we were getting into from the court. i'd never experienced hatred on this level before toward foreigners and people who fled from war zones in his or indies are form. and he's at the men's want. for 2 days, aggressive crowds of locals protested their main target was of roma and city refugees. the local residents were soon joined by neo nazis from other parts of the country. the situation began to escalate it twice. the sicily cup. watershed it watson. sure. it was chaotic vida, tucker, we had 0 tactical configuration, isaac and heighten normal and didn't have the right vehicles and equipment to be effective. and what i typically will and that's again,

give an anglican focus. it wasn't a job we were supposed to be doing by them, but staffing shortages meant that they ended up sending and training personnel. so on the morning of the 3rd day, august the 24th, the authorities relented and evacuated to rome. and since he they hoped this would bring the sweet end to the protest on the 12th or t norm, how's the regional government and the police were basically saying, or of, we've got this under control even if there are further attacks over in this love, mild, so unco from club, they also hoped that the violent troublemakers from out of town would go back home to be at work on monday. talk your operating in motion, but that monday evening there was more writing. ah

let me let me. i kept going to work during the day and coming home in the evening. on the 3rd day, a friend of mine drove me home in migail though gotten once we arrived, we just got out and ran. i'll go. and this mob set fire to our car and then a police car and then other cars to look that. yeah. i a police unit brought in to disperse. the crowd was also attacked. a number of offices were injured. but suddenly at around 8 p. m. the police retreated you start must not seem to work it. so again, the moment that you be the quinta,

if it isn't, should it abala l. a. d, of odds in the deaconate mich huston, we, why with those forces withdrawn, disconnecting this kind of ins. but i don't know as if he put the police was undergoing massive reorganization across the board in and looking back. i'd say the police were completely out of their depth. it's my not waiting list for call me before as the racially motivated riots entered the 3rd day, the city's commission of a foreign as a false gang richter agreed to talk to a television crew. they had come to interview a vietnamese family. everything seemed calm when he arrived at the apartment complex. but that soon changed. ah

the name of mow, the only telephone was in the porters office, lucia would us answer to the forged i called the local police station to tell them we were alone and under attack and the police. i'm not ours of your undeclared from the alden digging fog dissipated so they said or is the fire really bad enough to send in the fire brigade and the foil bianca pole drilled. and at that moment there were people breaking the windows in the entrance doors to the dormitories tools with his boss. and i realized once the windows are gone, the attackers will be coming in here. and then companies enclave all themselves. who's . c ah gaudy been on the rioters have gotten inside with people. i've called the police. but they don't realize what's going on

here with me and we decided to go up to the 10th or 11th floor. oh no challenge in which meant that breaking down the door to get up to the room. my more bet. that's how when did my. oh you why they thought bought it. because once we cracked open the lock on the door, we made it up to the 10th or the 11th floor. linton that natalie didn't. and then on to the roof, you tongue, let them remote it. melinda denied angle than the awesome disability. from up there we could see what was happening and once turned off my and is a doth kind of an good hold on and often bo,
