(MENAFN) While much coverage of the Syrian conflict, which began six years ago, has been of suffering and division, there are also stories of solidarity and hope: take Dirk Voltz.
Voltz, whose Facebook post went viral after he hosted 24 refugees in his home in Berlin in late 2015, spoke to Middle East Eye about what has happened since.
The refugee crisis has caused division across Europe and a spike in Islamophobia, with campaigns to ban refugees and to detain them in camps, as well as campaigns to let refugees in.
But Voltz had a different story to tell, one that defied much of the negative media coverage of refugees and Muslim migrants coming to Europe.
