"Zu Fuß?" "Zu Fuß." "Allein?" "Allein." - Am 22. Januar 2020 macht sich Christiane Hoffmann in einem Dorf in Niederschlesien auf den Weg. Sie läuft 550 Kilometer nach Westen, es ist der Weg, auf dem ihr Vater im Winter 1945 vor der Roten Armee geflohen ist. Die Flucht und der Verlust der Heimat prägen die Kindheit der Autorin, es bleibt, wie bei so vielen Familien, eine Wunde. Nach dem Tod des Vaters kehrt die Tochter nach Rosenthal zurück, das jetzt Rózyna heißt. Sie sucht nach der Geschichte und ihren Narben.

Outstanding meditation on 20th/21st century european history
Revisado: 04-17-24
I loved how this book showed so many sides of the complexity of the end of the war with Germans fleeing and expelled from Silesia, Prussia and other predominantly German-speaking areas of Central Europe and Poles from western Ukraine forcibly resettled in Silesia. In her 50s, the author, daughter of a refugee who, as a nine year old, walked with his family over 500km from the family village near the Oder in Silesia, to Egerland on the Czech/German border between Jan and March 1945, has a remarkable capacity to dig deeply not just into her own family history, but into the consequences of these forced migrations on millions of European citizens. Following her father’s footsteps by foot, at the same time of year in 2020, provides the backdrop of a deep and meaningful exploration of the consequences of Nazi expansion and World War II.

In 1990, a country disappeared. When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germany ceased to be. For over forty years, from the ruin of the Second World War to the cusp of a new millennium, the German Democratic Republic presented a radically different Germany than what had come before and what exists today. Socialist solidarity, secret police, central planning, barbed wire: this was a Germany forged on the fault lines of ideology and geopolitics. Acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer sets aside the usual Cold War caricatures of the GDR to offer a kaleidoscopic new vision of this vanished country.

Opening Our Eyes to DDR
Revisado: 11-23-23
Wonderful. An open and deep discourse into the DDR, what it meant to live there, and the political and economic struggles. As someone who grew up in Western Europe of the 60s, 70s and 80s this book stands as a stark contrast to the simplified presentation our media provided us of real life behind the Wall. Thank you to Katja Hoyer for opening my eyes.
