06 Karam & Khoke

Karam and his grandmother Khoke. Iraqi Yezidis. 50 and 6 years old. | Karam arrived in Germany in January 2016 and lives with Khoke, his grandmother, in a refugee center on the outskirts of Hanover. They are Yazidis from Iraq. Karam already speaks German and is going to start his first year of school. But his parents and three sisters are stuck in Greece (portrait of Naef, Katrin, Maran, Zina and Manal). They have been waiting for a year and a half for the European administration’s permission to join Karam in Germany. The boy talks on the phone with his parents five times a week, but he doesn’t know when he will be able to hug them. | Hanovre - Germany 2017
