Foto van de Leipzig banner

This is an image of the banner that Leipzig city council put up at across the front of their city hall in 2015 at a time when large amounts of refugees (mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan) arrived in Germany. This banner displayed two photographs next to each other. One of these photographs showed a group of German refugees (three women and a child) leaving the city of Eastern European city of Gdansk at the end of World War II in 1945, and the other showed a woman and a child walking through the ruins of the bombed city of Kobane in Syria in 2015.
