Family Minister Schwesig Visits Refugee Facility

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - AUGUST 20: German Family Minister Manuela Schwesig and children of asylum applicants write wishes on papers and let them fly with ballons as she visits a refugee accommodation facility on August 20, 2015 in Heidelberg, Germany. Germany is absorbing a record number of refugees and migrants this year and latest predictions are at 600,000 for the year. The arriving refugees and migrants undergo a lengthy asylum application process, during which they receive housing and other basics. The massive volume of applicants is however straining local resources and at times social cohesion across the country. (Photo by Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images)
