This week’s speaker was Professor Holly Case who shared with us the stories of the people she met while she visited Hungry. I could not believe that so many people pass through hungry looking and hoping for a something better. Professor Holly explained that there are many different views on the refugee crisis. While many soldiers wear gloves and masks to avoid all contact with the refugees some people have taken a more humane approach and welcome the contact by hugging and shaking hands with the refugees.

Professor Holly also talked about the two-tailed dog party which was created to mock the national government which is trying to close Hungary’s boarders. Many Hungarians are concerned because they want and need to do business with the surrounding countries and making movement between them difficult impairs their ability to travel and get their business taken care of.
