mega data. this was the 1st building i lived in when i arrived from vietnam. oh, whom? fuck knew and arrived in communist east germany in 1989, just months before the fall of the berlin wall. the rust off apartment block a san to vietnamese workers was part of a complex called the zone and bloom and house, named after the sunflower murals on its walls. ah, my son lucas, i'd come to east germany as a contract worker. bah, did ada m. the vietnamese were recruited by east germany together with workers from other socialist nations on contracts lasting at most 5 years. the largest share of contract workers at the time were from vietnam, almost 60000 people lubbock lamb of god, lamb of so i worked at the port in ra, stuck doing everything from shoveling loose cargo to loading and unloading ships

out the door, everything. it was physically demanding work on olsa, written by i was living on the 10th floor in building 18 intel together with my colleagues, we were for to a room wharton. they contracts required them to live in dormitories at the zone and lumen house. they had just 5 square meters per person, but home was glad to be living in rostock. buckingham could go, but i remember one time a group of 4 or 5 of us from the zoning bloomin house, went to rostock main railway station. let it look. there was a change of schedule, so we couldn't get a train to lift and hug on that norway. we didn't know the way back home. all we could do was draw 3 sunflowers on the ground island. either some locals understood

and showed us how to get home back my phone colette is now an intercultural advisor. she also arrived in raw stock as part of the contract with his skein fuss nathan's. can i still remember the date in siemens? july 27th? 1981. i don't that i wasn't even 18. and i've been east mid divide. i boarded a plane with $120.00 other women and men, hong, in fleet augustine, or, and i landed in east berlin, suna feld airport, only they're tough with a 4 year contract year. yahoo! for tar. and for years meant for years. the use german authorities intended the contract workers to go home afterwards. we have wonderful owns, i'd appreciate them. we were kept separate by both sides of funder open law,

including by our vietnamese supervisors. really, who kept a very close eye on our personal lives and control. yet and the east german authorities didn't like to see us having too much contact with the local people. impacts within within did air google ha. ah, he's german. television was keen to paint a picture of comradeship among peoples. so fe the new arrivals attended a 2 month german language class, intended only to prepare them for their work related. oh, just months after the last vietnamese arrived, the berlin wall fell. ah for east and west germans. it was the time of elation. bought for

vietnamese workers, it was a disappointment. as communist east germany crumbled, they faced an uncertain future. their job contracts came to an abrupt end part of end of on the dock there the for the fall of the wall, we were kept separate but safe. the hobby afterwards, i really noticed the negative aspects of being from vietnam, but then we felt at every single day and they said things like east germany brought you over here. now it's gone now. so get lost on the go all kinds of verbal abuse, aarp be sinful, be sinful owner in during his turbulent time. vulcan rich to move to rostock. he remembers the mixed feelings of many of his fellow east germans. as far as i know forced, there is the sense of excitement in post communist is germany. i view he bore saying we have all these new opportunities and we're enjoying the feeling of no

was right here. like all, am i i go along and nag the refugees, lived in these alcoves took of the lamina. this one was a bit elevated to i looked up and told them that they throw their stuff all around the place. and it became a problem. and with a net yet to live the families spent weeks, he with no access to sanitary facilities or washrooms, the mood among local germans took a disturbing turn. me out. i'm not racist, but the way these people behave is simply unacceptable. and germany gave the daughter in law. so we have another busing and even more of them get them out of here into the forests. and they bonum. when i go in and take some photos

on. yeah, i saw there cropping all over the place here. i found the ones when you go to work in the morning, you have all these asylum seekers and romanians in your way. mom was on, you worry about maybe getting whacked over the head. this is not ok. it has to change when i'm done with that as event escalade, it's my was enlightened harkins practically every day in the shop and you could feel this resentment becoming more and more aggressive. it's houston, the bullish bureau, bought mark, received on august the 22nd a crowd of people began to gather outside dishonorable in house. oh,

days aggressive crowds of locals protested the main target was a roman and since he refugees, the local residents were soon joined by neo nazis from other parts of the country. the situation began to escalate it twice. this as we cut all dishes, it wasn't sure it was chaotic vida tucked. we had 0 tactical configuration, isaac and heighten normal and didn't have the right vehicles and equipment to be effective. and daughter tacitly it ends. it's again, give an anglican focus. it wasn't a job we were supposed to be doing by them, but staffing shortages meant that they ended up sending and training personnel. so on the morning of the 3rd day, august the 24th, the authorities relented and evacuated the room. and since he they hoped this would bring the sweet end to the protest

on the 12th or to norm, how's the regional government and the police were basically saying, or of, we've got this under control. even if there are further attacks, an open as low mileage. so unclear from com, they also hoped that the violent troublemakers from out of town would go back home to be at work on monday. talk your i'll by again musson at that monday evening, there was more writing. ah let me, let me. i kept going to work during the day and coming home in the evening. on the 3rd day, a friend of mine drove me home in migail though gotten at once we arrived, we just got out and ran. i'll go. and this mob set fire to our car and then

before as the racially motivated riots entered the 3rd day, the city's commission of a foreign as false can. richter agreed to talk to a television crew. they had come to interview a vietnamese family. everything seemed calm when he arrived at the apartment complex. but that soon changed. ah. i've done so good. so just before 9 p m. c. and i noticed the police had disappeared. and that the moved down below was becoming increasingly hostile. a mummy. oh 1st there were chance real and then they started throwing stones the us and cheyanna. don't know what's up till the riders came closer and started throwing

fire bombs against the windows. like the fire began on the 1st floor and then moved up. i'm not in the ha. with the roemer and since he gone the rioters turned their attention to the vietnamese. ah. done benito mo, the only telephone was in the porters office. lucia would us answer to the forged on i called the local police station to tell them we were alone and under attack and the police, i'm not ours of yankee could from the album digging foggy discipline. so they said all is the fire really bad enough to send in the fire brigade and the foil bianca pole drilled. and at that moment there were people breaking the windows in the
