About this ebook

Crowded within the insular world of 1988 East Berlin, their lives conducted amid the cracks in the German Democratic Republic's approved social vision, the nine subjects interviewed in this book formed a loose social network. Ten years later and in a different German state, the stories they tell restore subjective experience to our historical grasp of communism and its collapse. The interviewees include Otto Emersleben, Frank Hornigk, Ljuba Kirjuchina, Bernd Wedel, Heike Wedel, Peter Graetz, Christoph Hein, Gerlinde Salomon and Thomas Braun.
This work preserves the English expressions verbatim and indicates them with bold-face type. German expressions of particular interest are retained in the text and indicated by italics. At the end of the book there is a comprehensive glossary that includes explanations of geographic, biographical, and historical references made by the interviewees.
