876 people during a stage of their long flight to Germany and northern Europe. Amongst them is little Lena with her mother and 10-month-old brother Esam. Even smaller is Abbas, from Afghanistan, whose family is travelling with three generations. On September 15, 2015, the day takes its course at Salzburg’s main station. When the first trains for Munich arrive, the refugees wait in front of the escalators, some of them in vain.
