Syria refugee child's drawing leaves German police 'speechless'

"The picture emerged from the thoughts in the mind of this girl," police spokesman Thomas Schweikl said, referring to the child's drawing.
Police said the illustration was made by a girl in the Passau refugee registration center , where officials had laid out paper and color pens for children to paint while they were waiting with their parents.
The girl who made the drawing apparently presented it to a policeman, who pinned it on a board with other children's pictures. A police spokesman thought the girl's illustration was interesting and posted a photograph of it on Twitter.
Since then, the drawing has been retweeted nearly 7,000 times. Police posted it with the hashtags #sprachlos and #Fluechtlingskrise - or "speechless" and "refugee crisis."
