"A four-year-old Black boy died in a fire in a house in Wilhelmshaven occupied exclusively by people of recent immigration background...The public prosecutor's office is now investigating the arson."

Grim news from Germany. A black family, who had previously experienced several incidents of racial harassment, was the victim of a suspected arson attack on Monday. One child is dead, the other is in critical condition. A fundraiser for them is here: www.gofundme.com/f/unterstutz...
