DDR Diary

For a year, the author was a foreign lecturer at a university in East Germany. She got to experience the absurdity and cruelty of a totalitarian regime.

Myths of a divided country

The debate on German social development is still raging intensely without flagging. The events of 9 November 1989 and the questions of guilt and responsibility are far from resolved.

Wonder years in Berlin

It was not just Communism that fell with the Wall. The bell tolled too for the eccentric biotope of West Berlin and for the bohemian lifestyle cultivated there.
