Behind the Wall My Brother, My Family and Hatred in East Germany

'Ines Geipel takes the occasion of her beloved brother's death to reflect on their times together growing up in the GDR, on the tensions within their family, and on the wider context of east Germany nearly three decades after the collapse of communist rule and unification with the west. Geipel's account of life in GDR is fascinating, and her reflections provide illuminating insights into the inner history and psychological workings of much of what has been going on in eastern Germany over many decades, particularly the impact of dictatorial rule during Nazism and communism, and the changing circumstances since 1989.'
