OTHER COMMENTS • Every human being should be treated the same way • Home is where your heart is • Stick to the roots, Heimat is traditions and language • Heimat is to me the place I grew up, when you move to new place this place will never be my Heimat but just the place I live • Actually I don’t know where my Heimat is. • It is important to make immigrants feel welcome • They are humans too, we should be nice to them • If I sometime have to flee I would love to be respected, therefor you should help the immigrants • I think wherever we go we should try to integrate and make ourselves feel at home

  21. 13. OTHER COMMENTS • “FremdesindFreude die wirnurnochnichtkennen”. Irish. • In our country women and girls don’t behave as humans and have no rights. • I think if people started to accept their earlier life and culture it would be so much easier to talk to them, only a small hallo or a little smile actually do help. Everyone should at least give them a smile if you walk past them • I accept everyone no matter where they are from. I don’t see the point in discriminating people based on their skin color, language, religion, sex or anything else. The world should not be used as a place for war and fights. • I will accept all the people if they accept me. I will look at them the same way I look at xxx, we are all the same. So if they are nice, I will be nice back. • Both parts has to work to make a better place for all, greet them • Immigrants must adapt or respect religion, culture, way of life in the new country • The most important thing is smiling. A single smile effaces everything!
