Fascinating perspectives of life after the wall

Fascinating perspectives of life after the wall

A compelling dossier compiling the experiences of people from the East and West after the fall of the Berlin Wall has been compiled by German language and cultural centre the Goethe Institut.

This online information resource explores issues such as:

• people's individual experiences the Wall came down
• how the children of German reunification are dealing with their past – a past that is divided into East and West.
• what it feels like for someone out shopping in the food hall of Berlin’s famous KaDeWe department store when they bump into their former interrogator of the Stasi – the GDR’s secret police.

The Goethe Institut's 1989/2009 dossier has compiled people’s experiences from both East and West - it looks back at German history and at the same time opens up new perspectives.
