The current refugee situation in Germany and how Germans handle it

Heike Papenthin

Whenever talking about Germany these days, the topic comes up how this nation in the centre of Europe deals with the current refugee situation.

As an active Couchsurfing host, Heike Papenthin has recently had many encounters with young Germans who have shared their stories with her about their and their friends´ involvement – stories which should be told.

Heike's mother was a refugee in World War II which might explain her deep interest in the current refugee situation in Germany.
