Notunterkunft

A group of students studying German at Northwestern University travelled to Berlin to speak to refugees and to volunteer in the Notunterkunft Rathaus Wilmersdorf, a refugee shelter in the former Town Hall.

The students conducted research onsite, interviewing the refugees in German, English, and even Arabic about their journey from Syria to Germany and their plans for a new future.
