Why this book?

Instead of a preface

"I am a German from Dresden in Saxony.
I can not continue the home.
I am like a tree - grown in Germany -.
can if need be, withered in Germany " Erich Kaestner

Dear reader,
this near-preface you safely skip over if it is like you, why This book was written. It will be exciting - I hope at least - until later. This page is unnecessary here in front of curious people, including journalists, teachers, mothers and the like, they always want to know everything exactly, and therefore ask: What did the writers tell us that? You can leave a work of literature but also engulf us. This is usually much better. So let's love for the first chapter, where the book begins.

---

you still there? So curious? Very good! Then we are related in spirit. This book was this: When a group should get to know students from Central Asia, the beautiful city of Dresden, the tour guide was very precise instructions for the journey.
It began by saying that there should be a meal without pork. The boys and girls are Muslims, their belief that the enjoyment or use of some things locked and for other things, GE. You should get to know some examples of tolerance from personal experience, that they accept other people. For example, those who eat sausage. And the basis of tourist attractions - not hot dog stands! Above all, this was the order and you will see beautiful things that she could tell them at home for a lifetime full of enthusiasm.

So a city design guide me. And in planning, organizing and coordinating the details became clear that a day in Dresden is not sufficient to bring it all under one roof, what is this. This gives material for a book.

This tolerance is an issue that we must not first explain to the Muslims.

in our town were near the Neumarkt, directly prior to today's transport museum and think differently, specifically: Other faiths - beheaded, so in October 1601, the Chancellor Nicholas Krell.

In Dresden, a world-renowned architect Gottfried Semper built church in November 1938 in the presence of the fire was burned down, Jewish, of course. Obedient thinking German national set it alight.

On the night of Easter Sunday 1991, a young man was 31 years ago by 14 young racists abused in the middle of downtown public. So thoroughly that he died a week later in hospital. He had a different skin color.

Finally, there is still a beautiful building in Dresden in the neo-Renaissance near the Albert Bridge: The District court. Here, killed with 18 stab wounds on 1 July 2009 before the eyes of justice, right in the courtroom during the trial, the accused a witness, the Egyptian handball player and pharmacist Marwa El Sherbini he had been publicly insulted. And shot a policemen present, "the best intentions" of course, once the husband of the woman. He looked so suspicious. Trick - as Egyptians. He was very near to it and he was bloody - 3 knives - because he had tried to protect his wife. The 18 knives made of stone which were erected to commemorate this event in Dresden at 18 points of the city were still smeared before its completion and damaged. The imprisoned for life under the "lone" thus has enough "convinced Friends" out there.

No, dealing with people who might look a little differently, live differently, speak differently or - God forbid - think different than the great-looking, model-speaking and the only real truth wealthy young people here today - this is a subject on which I do not first in Arabic, Afghan, Turkish, must write urdu or hindi, especially since I do not speak those languages.

can I still hold on first in German. Translate it may still, if it is any good. Then at least see the people in the world that we here are not so that we work on ourselves and have passed a few mistakes and limitations of already.
And that it has done us well to overcome a lot intolerant behavior, although there is still much to do.
And that was a learning process.
And - now here we go.

(The next chapter might follow at some point here - if ... if yes.)
