Refugees are still striving to reach Europe. Young men, families and the elderly are trekking through snow, seeking shelter and local aid or perhaps beginning to think of a new, brighter future. But the Europe so many have reached is now fractured in its reaction -- some as open and welcoming as at the height of compassion last year after the drowning of Syrian toddler Alan Kurdi, but many not. With migrants blamed for New Year's Eve harassment and rape and even now a killing, some communities and governments are taking a tougher line.

Sweden may expel thousands of migrants over this year -- up to 80,000, according to some media reports. And British Prime Minister David Cameron came under fire Wednesday for his own comments about "a bunch of migrants" during a session of Parliament. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom said it would take in more unaccompanied child refugees. This week, CNN met locals and migrants across the continent and beyond. Here are snapshots of what we found.
