Krátky popis
A gripping account of East Germany in the late '70s and early '80s,
and of one man's fated struggle for freedom.Friday, April 10th,
1981: 23-year-old Mathias Domaschk boards the fast train from Jena
to Berlin, on his way to a birthday party. But he never arrives .
..The packed train is held up en route, and Mathias and three of
his friends are apprehended, suspected of being part of a cell
intent on disrupting the socialist party congress. Forty-eight
hours later he is dead, following interrogation in the Stasi
detention centre in Gera.What happened over those two days?Peter
Wensierski's captivating book draws on multiple witness statements
and extensive Stasi documentation to build a riveting and dramatic
account, switching between Mathias's journey and the Stasi
activities up to and through his arrest. He also places this
tragedy against its broader political and social context to reveal
the lives of a whole generation of young East Germans who just
wanted live freely - and the contempt that the GDR authorities
displayed for their humanity.Part reportage, part true crime,
Generation GDR offers unique insights into the secret corridors of
an authoritarian regime and delivers a powerful warning from
history.Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch
