Hohenleipisch, 17 July 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear ladies and gentlemen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\n are residents of the refugee camp in Hohenleipisch, Brandenburg. We are\n writing to you because we hope you can help us in the current \nsituation. Our camp is located in the midst of the forest, i.e. we are \ncut off from civilization. Public transport only operates until 5.30 pm \non weekdays and does not operate\n at all during the weekend, meaning we have to stay in the forest. If we\n miss the last bus, we have to walk along the roadway, as there are no \nsidewalks. If the children would like to join a club or follow a course,\n the transportation problems make it impossible. It is not possible to \nvisit other children or receive visitors either. As the closest \nsupermarket is eight kilometers away, we have to buy many groceries at \nonce and carry the heavy bags home by hand. We all live in very old \nbuildings, it is dirty, there are insects (e.g. cockroaches). There is \nan unpleasant smell and it is a very confined space. In the camp there \nare no leisure facilities to counter the boredom. The life in this camp \nis reminiscent of a prison that no one can leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Since the recent event the situation in the camp has changed a lot. \nSince 7 April 2019 a woman from our camp was missing. She had two \nchildren. Nobody knew where she was and what happened to her, until her \nremains were found 200 meters from our camp. In July this year we were \nall told that she was dead and the cause of her death was unknown. Yet, \nwe know that she was killed, because Rita was a person, a mother, who \nwould not have committed suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have not yet come back to our senses, since we have learned that \nshe is not with us any longer. We are all very afraid to live here, as \nit is also possible that her murderer is still living amongst us in the \ncamp. In the evening, we are afraid to go to the bathroom alone. Nobody \nwants to understand us, comprehend our current situation. The social \nworkers in the camp made the decision to have a fence built around the \ncamp premises. They think this would solve our problems. They do \neverything to prevent us from complaining about our problems, so that \nthe camp is not closed and they do not lose their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to be helped, to leave this horrible place. None of us needs\n huge apartments in the city center. We just want to get out of here. We\n need humane accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we came here from our home countries, we \nwere hoping for a better future in Germany. After all, it is a \ndemocratic country, where a solution can be found for every problem. \nLittle did we know that we would live here with several people in small \nrooms in the middle of the woods. Many people are wondering why we do \nnot integrate in Germany. The answer is simple: How can people integrate\n if they are in the forest 24 hours per day? How can we learn German, if\n we never see any Germans and listen to them speak? How can one be so \ncruel and insensitive to people? Why are you treated as a second-class \nperson if you are from a different country? Why do we have to live in \nthe forest, because we are refugees? Why does anyone have to live in a \nforest? No one can answer these questions. We hope that someone will \ngive attention to our problems and that the current situation does not \nremain unchanged. We hope someone can help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for your attention.
\nHoping for a quick reply and help,
\nResidents of the camp in Hohenleipisch, Brandenburg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
