Summary/Abstract: In recent years, Germany has been confronted with a wave of refugees from Middle Eastern countries, such as Syria and Iraq. For most of the newcomers, integration into German society turns out to be particularly problematic. They have to learn a new language and get to know a way of life and culture that is foreign to them. Only a few are up to these enormous challenges. An overwhelming majority of refugees often fail in their attempts at integration. This article aims to shed light on this problem, using the example of Ohrfeige by the German-Iraqi author ABBAS KHIDER.
