Members of a group of about 90 refugees, which includes both deaf Ukrainians and their hearing family members, say German authorities are trying to force them to leave Berlin

Deaf Ukrainian refugees who have fled to Berlin say German authorities are forcing them to leave the city and move to other parts of the country, pulling them away from support services such as sign language interpretation, and from one another.

a refugee camp called Buch, north of downtown, where they live in metal containers. Mr. Harashchuk said he and the others can feel vibrations in the floors – an unsettling sensation for deaf people. “We wanted to remain in Berlin, and we fought for it,” Ms. Chajka said. “And then we were brought to Buch. The rooms were dirty, they were smelly.”

“In our opinion, it’s also a question of fairness. And this group – why should we allow this group to stay even though they don’t fulfill criteria and then other people will come after them? We will not be able to do that,” Ms. Hebbinghaus said. “When interpreters are there, I can be myself and I have say in my own life. Otherwise, I’m always dependent on somebody else.”

Ottawa’s help for fleeing Ukrainians is nowhere to be found, support groups sayTwo weeks ago, the federal government announced new measures for Ukrainians fleeing the war with Russia: chartered flights, short-term income support and temporary housing. But that help is nowhere to be found, support groups say. Its because they are not brown, bringing them here would delay the racial cleansing of Canada. Is anyone surprised? Trudeau makes all manner of pronouncements of zero substance. What do you expect. It was only an announcement. Follow up action will not be forthcoming. But the announcement was very well crafted and bought by MSM
