About the author
Jürgen Fuchs
28 booksJürgen Fuchs (1950-1999) was an East German writer and dissident.
After his military service he studied social psychology at the University of Jena in 1971. In 1973, he joined the Socialist Unity Party in order to study the system from inside. At the same time he published dissident poems and prose. This led to his forceful disenrollment from university shortly before graduation and his expulsion from the party in 1975.
Fuchs married in 1974 and had a daughter the following year. The family moved to Berlin where he became a social worker in a church charity, one of the few work options for a political dissident. Following his protest against the deprivation of East German citizenship of Wolf Biermann, he was arrested November 19, 1976, and spent nine months in a Stasi prison. Following international protests, Fuchs was released from prison and deported to West Berlin with his family in August 1977.
After his arrival in West Berlin, he published protocols of his detention and continued to be a target for the Stasi. In the early 1980s, he became involved in the peace movement. After the opening of the Berlin wall in 1989 and German unification in 1990, he was an activist in the clarification of the Stasi crimes.
He died of plasmacytoma, a rare kind of leukemia, in 1999.

Ein Zeitzeugenbericht Fuchs über seine Inhaftierung in Berlin- Hohenschönhausen.
Obwohl das Buch schwere Kost ist, lohnt es sich, da es durch seine protokollarische Form es schafft den Blick auf das Wesentliche zu legen ohne zu emotionalisieren.

Wenige Seiten, die doch nur kleinen Häppchen verdaulich sind.
Ostalgie muß immer auch durch diesen Bericht aus der Stasi-Haft gesehen und wieder ins rechte Licht gerückt werden.
