After fleeing Palmyra, this Syrian family is trying to find home in small-town Germany

July 19, 2017Conflict

The Daas family has been without a home since early 2015. After ISIS invaded their hometown of Palmyra, Syria, they escaped to Turkey, then took a boat to Greece and are now trying to rebuild their lives in Bavaria, Germany. It’s one thing to find safety, but they’re discovering it’s much harder to make a home.
