Alexandra Maria Lara Quotes
No, [as a child I didn't feel like a refugee] at all. I remember my German wasn't that good yet when I was in primary school and because of that, maybe I wasn't as well-integrated as other children. But when I went to primary school this was no longer the case. It was only much later, when I was 15, 16, that I visited Romania again for the first time. This was when I asked myself questions: Why am I the way I am? How much about me is German, which things about me are Romanian?Alexandra Maria Lara
