This isn't the first time migrants and refugees, from the Middle East and Africa, have made the relatively short trip, in desperation, across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos. A hundred years ago a genocide forced refugees into the sea and to the closest country's shores; many current residents on Lesbos are descended from those people.This image, of a local resident of Lesbos, was made in late November 2015, when tens of thousands of refugees had already made the journey, most having paid smugglers around $1,500 for a seat on a dinghy with their lives no less safer than on land. The people of Lesbos helped the refugees, and continue to help them, as their forebears were helped so many decades ago, inspiring aid workers and regular people from all over the world to do the same. History repeats itself once again.
