Ep.2: Your bed in Vienna

from Reconnaissance · host Asa Mendelsohn and Fred Schmidt-Arenales

In September 2015 hundreds of thousands of refugees fled in Syria and other countries and ended up in Austria, most on their way to other European countries. In October hundreds of thousands of people continue to flee, by foot, car, bus, and train. In United States media they are described as waves, masses, a crisis. What makes a crisis? Over the month of September a large volunteer effort collected and organized themselves at Wien Hauptbahnhof, one of two central train stations in Vienna. People set up cooking stations, child care stations, prayer and medical stations, all within the train station. Reconnaissance, Episode 2: Your bed in Vienna, describes the scene at and around Wien Hauptbahnhof in September.
