WorldLink: Catching up with Syria's piano man

Samantha Earley, BonnJune 17, 2016

Pianist Aeham Ahmad opened DW's Global Media Forum. He's a Palestinian who was living in Syria and he used to perform amidst the devastation in the Yarmouk camp. He fled after an "Islamic State" militant told him music was forbidden, and burned his piano. WorldLink followed Ahmad's journey to Germany and caught up with him at the forum.
