Anna Funder
“The penalties for being an accessory to the attempt to flee the [GDR] were greater than the crime of trying to flee itself.”
Anna Funder

“This project was hugely successful, perhaps one of the most effective aid projects ever conducted. Vietnam is now the world’s second largest producer of coffee, producing around 30 million 60-kilogram bags every year, and its industry employs 2.6 million people. Its Robusta beans have a high caffeine content and are ideal for granular and instant coffee, which is drunk in large quantities around the world. Only 6 percent of the produce is used internationally, while the rest is exported at an estimated annual worth of $3 billion.”
Katja Hoyer, Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949-1990
