countrymen forced to live behind
an iron curtain and one of those
millions in a small east
germantown was a young girl
named angela.
she remembers when the wall went
up and how everyone in her
church was crying, told by the
communists that she couldn't
pursue her love of languages,
she excelled as a physicist.
she was asked to spy for the
secret police and she refused.
the night the wall came down,
she crossed over, like so many
others, and finally experienced
what she calls the incredible
gift of freedom.
