Simon arrived in europe in october 20. Fifteenth. There were 280 people on the boat that left libya, and they had to be rescued as they crossed the mediterranean to day. Many who left israel for ruanda just did not survive. I saw 400 people inside the water. They drowned. Simon lives in germany, in dresden. That's where e met, in that airless hotel room. He works at a printing plant, and he has refugee status but still he cannot really plan for a future. But he is at least safe.
