An antiwar installation in the heart of the eastern German city of Dresden set out to recreate one of the more haunting images from the Syrian civil war. Dresden was totally bombed out in ’45, and a lot of people have forgotten how the city looked after the war. It took Dresden a long time to rebuild many parts of the city, 72 years, and they’re still not finished. But the far right tried to categorize the work as this Arabian thing or this Islamist thing. While the installation was up, every Monday they always went to the buses and started shouting at the buses.
