your own writing, that people in the east, families, have never really talked about what it meant to live under successive dictatorships — the nazis and then the communistsse how traumatised people in the east have been. do you think that is relevant when we talk about what happened in east germany, and the way in which it has been dealt with since german unification? do you think the west hasn't been good at understanding the east? i mean, because in politics today in germany, we see that, in the east, there is very strong support for far—right anti—immigrant parties, stronger than in most regions of western germany. we see that hate crimes, frankly, are disproportionately in the east rather than in the west of germany. is there a lack of understanding, a lack of sympathy and empathy? you make it sound as though the east, the communities, the families in the east of germany, haven't found happiness in the unified germany — that many in the east remain, frankly, bitter, feel neglected, and are unhappy. let me end by bringing it back to where we began. when you watch sports today, do you in your heart feel that many of those who are winning at the top, wh

to the intense surveillance that many germans experienced both in the nazi era and in east germany under the communist leadership there so that people are very very concerned about privacy even for their heads of state helmut kohl for example battled with illness and it was kept quiet secret from the public and even from many members of his own party and here i think there is an intensely protective instinct that many germans feel also for merkel her constitution is known to be an absolutely iron one she herself has said i'm something of a camel when it comes to sleep i can go for days with little sleep and then just need to catch up on the weekend so that's the one side on the other hand we are now seeing some headlines in major german newspapers including the tabloid the biggest tabloid the billed newspaper saying why isn't the chancellor telling us what's going on maybe it's time for a doctor's check and publication of results so that is part of the debate but on in the end we'll have to see whether that strong trend toward privacy and and respect for privacy does continue to triumph in this case t

tothe past, it was limited people fleeing communist countries or the middle east. what was limited was the definition of refugee. importantly, the act provided funds and offices to administer them, to make refugee resettlement here it easier and faster. and finally, the act created a process for seeking asylum. surprisingly, the act was not controversial. the senate passed it unanimously. there was some opposition in the house, which wanted more congressional control over admissions. the act has held up well. initially, it set a limit of 50,000 refugees annually. although the president could lift the limit in certain circumstances. in his last year, president obama called for the admission of more than 100,000 refugees. there was no outcry. before coming here, by the way, refugees undergo very strict scrutiny. the act, and the circumstances surrounding it, shined a very harsh light on present-day practices and attitudes. in 1980, the u.s. welcomed refugees. today our government shuns them, and it cut the numbers to be admitted drastically to the lowest ever under t

the communists saw the red orchestra as to bush why into ideologically diverse paying too little attention to the moscow line in east germany if you had time for the july plotters either just a bunch of aristocrats and officers who were worried about their farms but suddenly in the mid 1960 s. the red orchestra was honored after all but in the soviet union the east german leadership hurriedly changed its tune. the game because in the pool because you were in for that it was because of the publication of the history of the labor movement in which the shields boys in the heart group became the schulze of boys and hard knock organization and that's why the with and then they discovered it also had contacts with moscow. and st important or information from berlin to moscow with the radio my father had sat have. my father is the. secret police paucity of his milk and had a feature film made. kael k. to p.t. x. one of the most expensive east german productions ever telling the tale of agents to do the party line. copy jr did some of the research in moscow. with a gun in my. yes i wanted to find out which radio messages he
