Description

Behind every migration lies an individual story: in Germany, there are more than 20 million of them. Yet often, only the voices that cause problems are heard — those that are loud, disruptive, or make headlines.
My book brings the quieter voices to the forefront. In personal interviews, impressive photographs, and honest quotes, people with migration backgrounds share their experiences, challenges, and hopes. It is about belonging, exclusion, new beginnings — but also about strength, solidarity, and humanity. The design combines precise diagrams, visually appealing maps, and powerful images to present the diversity of life realities in a vivid and moving way.
This book invites readers to question prejudices, develop empathy, and see cultural diversity as enrichment. It is a plea to build bridges and make the stories behind migration visible.
