Die Schande Europas

The enraged pamphlet of the well-known globalization critic! Jean Ziegler, as Vice President of the Advisory Committee of the UN Human Rights Council, visited the EU refugee camp Moria on Lesbos in May 2019. Through numerous often shocking individual cases, he thoroughly recounts his encounters with refugees who share their harrowing journeys, with the brave, dedicated representatives of various aid organizations and human rights activists, with lawyers and officials. His book, expanded with a current preface, bears witness to the moral decay that Europe is heading towards and serves as a powerful appeal to the responsible politicians in Brussels and to civil society to put an end to the practice of push-backs and the inhumane reality of the hotspots – for they are the shame of Europe.
