the secrets of symphonic magic. comes code starts october 11th w. . enough. all of these people lost their lives at the berlin wall

brisk f. roid 5th of february 1909 mr stuff on of years is ion on but must have been stefan harm card in chris is mother was informed that chris had been shot we were stunned why it was inconceivable to us we were also young 192021 we didn't think that this kind of thing was still possible in 1080 $9.00 and $1.00 and $7.00 an ati hostile to snitch mn eclipse

in causes was illness can and smear chris really liked going to the sea forbes i can imagine that when you're young in your standing so close to the water that you're able to give your dreams are lot more room to wander on and and of us i'm guessing that's a bit out when he saw pictures of america or heard any kind of coverage about america then he always said he wanted to go there and see this incredibly vast country he started saying that when he was only 12 he felt that there was so much diversity over there which just wasn't the case in small confined east germany. stoppage of foot so i think he was 14 or 15 when he repeated this feeling and i told him that i didn't think he would be able to do that because he wouldn't be able to get out of east germany he said it out the closet and human sat shocked him and he replied by the time i'm grown up everything may have changed he still hoped

at that age that the system could change and that he'd have more freedom as an adult of oxnard as one but for a fire hazard and. all of us will send us an excuse fetishist i don't think he was aware that he was putting his life in danger at best he knew that it was dangerous because he could have been arrested as a dog sort of smart enough to enter and hung up on justice. in a couple of hours away from the uniform and for all of us when the body was so pumped with adrenaline that you weren't scared that scared to the extent that we considered the outcome that then actually occurred it will have it all the things. that superstar we just thought ok if they catch us still arrest us and we'll be put in jail for a year which will all be quite harmless but neither the jail nor the stories outcome were harmless enough for almost all felt

a little strange one of those. 3 are like him or the 4 i spent 14 years living in the vicinity of the wall funnily enough i was unable to sleep although i was tired. as a civil rights once who must have been half past 11 at night when i heard the shots . in the halls of theater there were lots of shots and it made me flinch but then i went back to. bed and try to forget about it. don't think it means. shit to sit and think. the next day i heard the 1st news announcements. made in their. this and was shocked and horrified but that's time i had

no idea that my own son had been the victim. this is doing this on a quiet. 5th of february 1909 midnight a message from mr milkha prevention of an attack on the border to west berlin the border guards of regiment 33 fired 22 warning shots and shots on target. close when the call from chris had been hit we stopped moving him once and he's going to be provoked him through photos and we weren't trying to escape any more at that moment i was hit by a bullet. d.m.o. he would be found in the mom thought so i wasn't really that aware of it when you

feel as well but i felt that i'd been hit but i didn't feel any pain and on the phone. down and i was young and blind then the border guards surrounded us with their weapons drawn the sun looking tires on in the pits on the off and. they threw us into a ditch until some cars arrived to us and in gone the old. soviet hell to school. 6th of february 989415 am one of the injured men has died the actions taken by the border police have been evaluated as being proper and decisive the names of the individuals who attempted to cross the border are to be struck from the hospital admissions register.

a close other fisherman. chris always had a smile on his face he was vibrations and determined when he wanted to do something he wanted to do it he was very emotional and questioning. you know what's in our market or and on and on and on and on and i thought he didn't just put up with things the way they were i think i'd miss myths that didn't safina if he thought they should stop he spoke his mind and asked many questions and feel a fungus. and chris was very restless and i never knew what he did with all his energy and he was

a noisy baby and very spirited he had a real thirst for knowledge he was very demanding. there was one instance in school where chris was in trouble because he'd beaten someone up i'm often in national or perhaps out of i could see that he did that quite a few times in years one and 2 before he went to the sport school want to become one. because i know when it's coming i got a call so i went to the school and that's when i got there i told him that i didn't want him fighting with the boys with the he was that as he told me he had to do it and one of the boys was fat and wore thick glasses and was i think i was like that at a concert ticket and everyone was laughing at him so that this boy was crying that he and chris beat up the boys who were laughing and he liked doing that he was a wild child. pointer off the gun. our friendship began straight away and year one. because

that's when we started doing gymnastics together in school he was also from the johana style district. the one he was the only one who lived in the same district as me so we had the same grade school we got on well together possums was a. it was 3 comics was on the. or we knew we'd go to boarding school together we were fans of dynamo berlin they had great journalists they were number one in east germany so that was a goal for us we were really proud and. it's kind of me on.

the ball when i remember the sports bags we got with the 1st badges saying dynamo on that bought it. that was what i wanted because these are tough but i do. when we were alvin berlin with this bag we thought that other people would see that and think that we were great journalists that or and that felons are few die although that was our goal for 3 years we were serious about it being a top class gymnast could change your whole life that's up to none by money off bits into an ugly. slice the thing is i'm tough and i was a con i remember him coming home at the weekends it was unbelievable his hands were so sore he had blisters and the skin was peeling off. he always took a bath and cut off the blistering skin we tried to patch him up at the weekends funnily enough the children thought that was normal they didn't feel they were being put under too much pressure there were only

a few times after he'd been shouted at to do it again that he put his foot down and said no i don't want you anymore it's no fun like this with with that and all kinds . of. interests because i made the decision to take chris out of the sports school because i knew he'd never become a world champion i told chris it was more likely that they'd break his back than that he'd get on to the podium. but the best i said he was too stubborn to make it he didn't want to hear it. but when i think i think it took 2 or 3 months and then he said to me fine i won't go there anymore but what will i do now i was like yes.

you know. it's good for the trained waiter chris get friday i remember the 1st day of his internship and chris was standing in the office area that was the area between the kitchen then the guest room and crucial and. that's the all in the name on through he stood there in his suit as if he'd been wearing it day and night for years with the guns and he was confident elegant and quick as he did his job. it was very impressive chris and i were both very happy about

this job because in the days of east germany becoming a trained waiter was a privilege that guns guns the chanst and their fuck to do the outside more with privy to get this as a mission it wasn't a highly regarded job but you had the chance to earn a lot of money even as a young person and vaio and x. all the time and. your clothes had gotten off all whites if you give us the congress work in a bar that had many visitors from the west there were tourists for them these german money wasn't worth much so they gave a lot of tips if you can get it so if you notice the last boss and. in many restaurants it was an advantage if you could win over guests to be your allies they were quite liberal with the east german money that they'd exchanged 10 to one of them since well and skipped almost. all skip over the local new guns and that's how you could easily earn a few 100 marks a day. tahu probably not more from the. cops

whom obviously it was but you know there were evenings when we went for a walk in berlin sometimes we'd walk through the central district and that always made us pensive because we could see the wall of wisconsin. and on compared to not it was right there with christian books very much about how he perceived the system does if you pull him out of the bush will he also talked about how he couldn't serve in the national people's army because he didn't want a political career on the invoice we had lots in common wouldn't gotten high commands on peyton and his on the only 4th us the 4 as i asked him what his plan was and i didn't want to get him to confess that he had plans to flee or anything like that he sort of stared into the distance and said i can't say that right now

that things can't stay the same. thing he said occurred to me on my visits chris said the same thing to me once why don't we leave i told him why should we leave i have everything i need here i have a job i have a flat he shouted at me there must be more to life than that a small bank account a flat a job that's not enough help i suppose or so there's a sort. of wish on. the and i had no real idea about how he felt i'd have kept a much closer eye on him had i known but i didn't. but haps that just. 7th of february 989 police headquarters operation turner is being initiated to monitor accounting gift was environs as well as to prevent information getting through to the western press it is therefore been decided to summon gifts for his

mother for the purpose of intimidation. the same of the spirit that i'm coming month 510 minutes later someone came in a relatively tall man in a blue uniform highly decorated he introduced himself i forget his rank but i think his surname was kruger so he told me without hesitation mrs gaffer i we would like to inform you that your son committed an attack on a military object and has died do you need a doctor if that's when everything changed that cult is more so than the others so. i started screaming and really lost the plot but they got such a fright because they weren't expecting that reaction i kept screaming you murdered him he was only 20 he didn't do anything i was so powerless i was completely in

their hands there was nothing i could do but they did this to my child and all i could do was scream in silence i couldn't run through the streets screaming they'd have stuck me in a mental hospital straight away i think i had the sense of helplessness for a good 6 weeks always 6 o'clock it was not we knew that cotton had been threatened we tried to support her and be there for her we wanted to hear her stories that she had terrible things to say about what had happened to her and how the authorities had treated her with you but the east german papers announced that there hadn't been an order to shoot so that nobody had been shot but we knew he'd been shot and still it was denied we immediately knew that the state wanted to shut us up and sweep this whole affair under the carpet they didn't want anybody to know that someone had been shot at the wall it doesn't enter into does the minimal shots of one us. 24th of february $989.00 police headquarters kibo stossel chris cuffe boys funeral must be prepared with the goal of preventing anybody from abusing the ceremony to commit provocative actions against the state leadership

extensive security measures around current governor i have not been able to prevent the leaking of conspiratorial information from going for a social circle to western newspapers. want to look to test him or her the mood so hard on them is not what i thought it was a silent protest to have the courage and say we have to put a notice of his death in the papers it was denied that anybody had been shot down the system refused to acknowledge it so we did it and we went in there stuck together with and yet the concessions and i thought we thought we could only say it was a tragic accident and we wanted to give the day it was a small protest lined up with testosterone up and split to splat.

and it was not all we knew that efforts had been made for the media to attend the funeral that was the small contribution we were able to make and that's when atlanta to talk to us. by the by the full. body on destiny of the water and while we were under constant surveillance at the funeral everywhere. officers were stationed in the cemetery side alleys and by the graves as these german citizens we knew that things like that went on but we've not been affected personally for those up until my post yet or one long to either want to call them on it's cognition you know we always perceived it to be tragic. the system hammered into us that this was the border between 2 fundamentally different systems and the border was hostile so people who

did what chris did could end up the way chris ended up all. wouldn't be as it was mocking this placea it was dreadful this flying on the uncertain was all done diesel possessed a presence was the final straw i knew i couldn't live in this place. it was a police state a dictatorship as in pretty tight if god does this not take the 12. 24th of february 1909 it is further ordered that the political damage must be contained by all available means use of an informer against the young adults and disciplining of chris cuffe roy's mother. if i'm wondering that i was frozen sometimes i was at the police station for 6 or 7 hours i had lost all sense of time the only way i knew how much time had passed was from the clock on the town hall and i couldn't even remember properly what they'd asked and what i'd said they

just wouldn't stop talking to his kind of whom in. view of all the more we do for a long has got the gift we were brought in for questioning several times they came to my home to question me some more they followed me around for 3 weeks they came to the funeral and then always stood outside the shop but the 2 gentlemen sat inside there when i left the house in the morning they followed me on day 3 i started saying good morning to them. they said good morning back to the. war in iraq of the homes anything they didn't try and hide it was very open we followed me home again. they followed me were ever i went like that i was just starting up the career ladder and had a leading position out of like water off playing and i don't suppose it was made very clear to me that it didn't matter how the situation ended my career was over the only job i'd ever get in my life and was a stagehand looking has been all but all.

colors and i and and and the father in and i remember one trip i took in a tram it was packed full with boys with rucksacks and suitcases they were all very jolly there was something in each one of their faces that reminded me of chris i started crying i couldn't control myself i wanted to but i couldn't and the whole tram went quiet as i stood there wondering what i was going to do to what extent the hold up is why it's time to leave it then i couldn't explain to them that chris was dead i was embarrassed when i think of saying it was tough so i wasn't allowed to say in this state what had happened and that was a very painful thing in

a country like that. i went to the police station and got myself together and decided i will talk with us and that was the day they told me that their investigations were completed and that the state had acted properly and that i should never say again that he had been murdered. one of them added you yourself said chris was like a little wild horse what do you do with wild horses if they don't let you catch them so i looked at him and said you just shoot them he nodded that's when i woke up and knew that i had to leave i couldn't breathe anymore i didn't want to live there any longer like that even if really i thought. she was up until then she didn't know about her son's death the special commission informed her that her son committed an attack on a military object carrying get froyo would be questioned here for weeks. this until you were not. there young they never experienced the wall they were born

a lot later that their parents often don't tell them much. many of them come from southern germany and sweden they just want to know about chris and me and about east germany what is it like to live in a dictatorship how do you behave. i think it's great that i'm allowed to do this and that i'm invited to tell my stories and it's here.

like open he says sometimes i'm surprised myself that i've managed this it has worked i always remember chris's words about how there had to be more to life you can always make a fresh start and i know now that he was right you can make a fresh start with kindness.
