The New Promised Land: an Update on the Migrants and Refugees in Germany!
Six years ago, wars in Syria, Afghanistan, and

promised land for many of the refugees. Join German historian and political
scientist Anette Isaacs for a fascinating discussion of how her home country dealt with the huge task of absorbing this enormous influx of people and how the refugees are faring in today's Germany!
