Vienna Train Station

Vienna: In late September, we headed for the Vienna train station in Austria, according to Vancouver Observer. Here, families have almost finished an horrific journey; they went from refugee camps to dangerous boat crossings, then made an exhausting scramble through some unfriendly countries. There were 30,000 people fleeing into European countries on some days. Many sold everything they own to escape conflict. Walking into a vast glittering train station in Vienna, we see huddled families sleeping and eating on floors. But in Vienna, some became marooned in a sea of jurisdictional squabbles, justifiable national concerns, and a lack of money. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
