Troeglitz Holds Vigil Against Arson Attack

TROEGLITZ, GERMANY - APRIL 05: People gather to hold a prayer for peace at the village church to demonstrate against the recent arson attack against a facility for housing refugees on April 5, 2015 in Troeglitz, Germany. Troeglitz, a village with a population of 2,700, is scheduled to receive 40 refugees, though the move has divided the town and prompted gatherings in recent months of right-wing supporters that ultimately led to the resignation of Mayor Markus Nierth, who supported receiving the refugees and claims he feared for his family's safety. In the early hours of yesterday, unknown assailants tried to burn down the unoccupied facility. Germany, which in 2014 took in 200,000 refugees, is predicted to receive over 300,000 refugees in 2015, which in some areas, particularly in eastern Germany, is causing a popular backlash.
