The Lib family came to Germany with their German passports. They got these passports because their great-grandfather was German. He married their great-grandmother in Togo in 1908. But the German law at that time did not accept marriages between Germans and people from other countries. So, the German authorities say the family should not have gotten the passports. The family is very upset because they had a German passport and even voted in an election. Now they are being treated like they entered the country illegally.
The family is having many problems because of this old law. They had to give up their Togo citizenship to get the German one. Now they are stateless, which means they do not have a country. The German authorities have stopped giving them money because they think the family is in the country illegally. The family's lawyer is trying to help them get a residence permit and their German citizenship back. The family is fighting for their rights because they followed all the rules to get the German citizenship. They want to be able to live in Germany without any problems.
The family's situation is very difficult. They are not sure what will happen to them. They hope that the German authorities will change their decision and give them back their citizenship. The family wants to be able to live in Germany and have all the rights that come with being a German citizen. They are waiting for the authorities to make a decision and are hoping for the best.
