00:00Migrants are now speaking out on the Brazilian rise on racism cases in Germany.
00:07Some who have gone through the ordeal said the hatred can sometimes become too much to bear.
00:16This hatred has always been there. Only people have not dared to say and express it so openly.
00:22And now they have a reason, something like that, where they justify themselves, perhaps to themselves and to others.
00:29A Rituan immigrant Haben Gebregegish was racially attacked when she first migrated to Germany, city of Magdeburg, seven years ago.
00:37Haben said that she was attacked by a woman who threw a bottle at her, a situation that she considers racially induce.
00:44We are not different, just like you. We have feelings. Sometimes we are sad, sometimes we are happy, just like everyone else.
00:53According to various local reports, victims of racist attacks in the city often do not feel support from politicians or police.
01:02Some local immigrant associations have now vowed to fight racism within their respective regions in Germany.
01:09Among the most affected area is the city of Magdeburg.
01:15But no, we will not allow Magdeburg to become a playing field for racism and hatred.
