This book is by Osnabrückers for Osnabrückers.
It tells the stories of people who are often overlooked. Fourteen women and men who are homeless or in difficult life situations speak openly and frankly about the ruptures in their lives, about blows of fate and losses, but also about hope and the courage to start anew again and again. These are moving encounters with people who are far more than their circumstances.
These personal portraits are complemented by contributions from fourteen well-known figures in Osnabrück's public life. They recount their encounters with people on the margins of society, discuss their attitudes and responsibilities, and explain why compassion and social cohesion are so important to them.
Each person is accompanied by magnificent black and white portraits that impressively reveal the individual and their entire personal story.
"On Equal Footing – Respect" aims to build bridges, break down prejudices, and focus attention on the person behind their story. The book invites readers to listen, reflect, and treat each other with openness and respect.
