An excellent look at the many aspects of the former German Democratic Republic, good, bad and bizarre from an author who actually was there - albeit as a young child - when the Wall came down. Highly recommended. I thought I knew a lot about East Germ ...more |

“The idea was that a factory could send an elected representative, as could a university, or a women’s organization. These delegates would then meet in a central council – or ‘Soviet’ in Russian – to decide on policy matters, elect an executive and so on. So far so democratic. The reason why so many of the manifestations of this theory have turned out to be nothing more than puppet parliaments who rubber stamp legislation for those who wield real power is that it is open to manipulation. In the case of the GDR’s council, the Volkskammer, the list of candidates was completely fixed.”

“Candles were used to measure the diminishing levels of oxygen. When a candle placed on the floor went out, children were picked up and held at shoulder height. When a candle on a chair went out, then the evacuation of the level began. And if a third candle, positioned at about chin level, began to sputter, then the whole bunker was evacuated, however heavy the attack above.”

“Most hospitals in England, even in the 1950s, were converted workhouses, so the buildings alone had an aura of degradation and death for people who had lived all their lives with the terror of being sent to the workhouse.”

“It looked a little like a railway terminus as designed by an overambitious architect … one obviously with ideas above his station.”
