In Photos: UNHCR High Profile Supporter Ben Stiller meets refugee families in Berlin

In early 2016, Ben took time out of his schedule to visit refugee families during a trip to Berlin. He visited an emergency shelter run by the NGO Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) in the Berlin district of Wilmersdorf as part of a briefing by UNHCR. He discussed the situation in Germany, across Europe and the wider Syrian crisis. The families he met, who had left their homes with just the bags they could carry, were some of the million-plus people who have been forced to flee conflict and persecution and had sought safety in Europe in 2015.
