Mohamed and his wife, Roqa, took their two young daughters, Rushin and Reema, and fled Syria. Two years and 1,500 miles later, I met them in front of the State Office for Health and Social Issues in Berlin and decided to help them.
BERLIN — As bombs fell over Syria, Mohamed and his wife, Roqa, took their two young daughters, Rushin and Reema, and fled.
Now, two years and 1,500 miles later, I am sitting with Reema, discussing Disney's Frozen.
"You are Princess Anna and I am Queen Elsa," Reema tells me.
"But I am a lot older — I should be the queen," I say.
"But your name is Anna. It fits better," she laughs.
