The XO Directory

In Germany, Onur Calar, an eight-month-old baby boy, was thrown by his uncle outside a window of their burning apartment to escape fire.

He said when he saw a policeman below he thought it was eight-month-old Onur's last chance to live. "I saw the cop with his arms outstretched holding his jacket like a safety net.

I looked him in the eyes and he looked at me as if to say 'go for it.' I kissed Onur one last time and then I let him fall." The officer caught Onur, who was unharmed.

Mr Kaplan and his daughter escaped by a ladder but his mother, Onur's two-year-old brother Ilyas, and two cousins were among nine Turkish people killed in the suspected racist arson attack on Sunday.
