Rafat Al Aydi, 20, right, takes in the view of southwestern Germany with his brother Naif, 16, during a walk in the Black Forest near their home in tiny Zell am Hammersbach, Germany in March 2014. The four Al Aydi boys, unable yet to speak German, struggled to adjust to life in their new village, but it wasn’t long before their family was on the move again, searching for a real place to call home.
