Michel Abdollahi / Reading

Michel Abdollahi, born in Teheran 1981, was five years old when he moved to Hamburg with his family. He grew up here, studied law and Islamic studies, and began to translate and write – a completely normal life as a completely normal Hamburg citizen. Or so he thought. Then came Sarrazin, followed by Pegida and the AfD – and Abdollahi found out that a lot of Germans suddenly denied him the right to feel like a completely normal citizen.
