It is absolutely disgraceful. It is not a laughing matter. It is extremely serious. We are now looking at a recreation of the kind of conditions that happened in the 1930s. We really have to do something about it.

Tomi Reichental also spoke to a young Syrian man. The documentary showed hundreds and thousands of desperate Syrian refugees. It showed the conditions in Aleppo, with completely bombed-out suburbs. Where are these people to go? It is the same situation as in Nazi Germany and the rest of Europe, yet Europe is turning its face against these refugees, with the exception of Germany. This is something that, out of humanity, we must address. We really should look at the refugee situation. I have known Tomi Reichental for many years and have always honoured him but my respect for him increased enormously as a result of that powerful and moving film.
