There will always be West- and East-Germany. I was convinced of that. All political parties had ‘a unified Germany’ listed on their official agendas. But nobody took that serious.
It was nice to be wrong about this. It was nice to see something change 20 years ago.
The thought that many people were born the GDR and died before their countries ill fated system is a weird one: All these people knew was this version of the world.
