Die Klassen: Health and Family

Amy Zyed revisits the Syrian refugees she met in Berlin in 2015 and tracks their progress at settling into life in Germany.

As the political atmosphere grows more hostile to the refugees who Angela Merkel famously welcomed in autumn 2015, five families continue with their attempts to settle in Berlin. Presenter Amy Zayed, follows their struggles with German bureaucracy, their attempts to find a home, to arrange for families still in the Middle East to join them and in two cases to get essential medical treatment. Meanwhile, they also continue with Die Klassen – Government provided language and culture lessons designed to ease them into the German way of life.
