At this station we had to sit down on an improvised truck. Then we got headphones and heard a story of a guy from Syria. He told about his and his brothers trip to Germany...

They lived in a small town in Syria. Most of the time the town was peaceful during the war. Later the situation got more difficult and he and his brother decided to flee to Germany. They made their way to the border of Turkey and met a human trafficker. The human trafficker told them to wait until he called them. He wanted 200€ before and another 500€ after the journey. Although they were really suspicious, they accepted the offer. About a week later the human trafficker called them and told them to get to a parking spot. At the parking spot a small truck waited for them. The truck brought them to a bigger one, which took the refugees to the border of Austria. There wasn't any light inside of the truck and they had to stay in there for a really long time with a lot of people. Also there was no chance to get out of it, because they weren't able to open it from inside. After they arrived, they had to find another human trafficker, who took them towards the German border. As soon as they arrived in Germany they sought asylum and got adopted.

A similar story was narrated in a boat instead of a truck.

We as listeners noticed that they depended on the human traffickers to take them to Germany. They had to trust them with their life.
