Floating Bodies for Awareness - Frankfurt 'Tag des Fluechtlings' Campaign (GALLERY)
Frankfurt 'Tag des Fluechtlings' Campaign

At the end of June, dozens of human bodies could be found floating in the Main river in Frankfurt, Germany, face down in the water. The shocking guerrilla stunt was part of a campaign for Tag des Fluechtlings, a day that focuses on preventing the death of refugees.

The human rights campaign tried to sway residents of Frankfurt to help refugees that come into the country; the bodies in the water were meant to mimic the real floating bodies resulting from refugees who drown en route as they flee to find safety in countries like Germany.

The ProAsyl campaign wants to point out that it is unethical to leave these people to drown in the water, and that Germany and other EU countries need to provide fair asylum.

If they don't want to drown, the best thing to do is stay where they are. Europe is not the world's trash receptable, and German citizens do not pay the kind of taxes they do so that strangers can "flee" there to have children, open businesses, all while they scorn the "evil white Germans." At best, what Germany and similar countries should do, were they willing to be humanitarian enough, is open fire on these invaders before they have a chance to drown at all.
