The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2016
The children of Clausmoorhof
Like every Friday, musician Volker Schlag drove with his American schoolbus to the Clausmoorhof, a refugee camp in Gifhorn, Lower-Saxony, Germany. He brought guitars, drums and an accordion which used to belong to his grandmother.
For more than a year he tries to give the children living there a relief. Most of the kids came with her parents from the Balkan States and can't speak German. Most of them also can't play an instrument. But they don't mind, you can see the joy in their faces.
