There is still much suspicion in Germany. Families still remember their 'missing' members.
One the way home, stopped in Germany early 1991 to see a good friend. While sitting at sidewalk table, my friend abruptly arose and got in the face of another patron. Words were exchanged, and they went behind the building. My friend returned later, with blood on his sleeves and hands, with his pocket notebook out. With a grim smile, he indicated that he now has a "list of people to talk to...".
The wounds of Germany will not heal until their people of my generation have been buried.
- y4mi 11y agothe wall fell in 1988. 3 years before your event. its been over 20 years since then - there is no real witch hunt or hostility anymore.
- sdoering 11y agoWell it was on 9th of November 1989. Not 1988. But yeah, there is no witchhunt.
- Zenst 11y agoYet much unrest in Germany due to massive migrant influx and why Germany who was pioneer within the EU to scap the borders is now looking at reintroducing them, whilst at the same time belittling other EU members for still having them as a means of migrant control. So with that, whole new generations will be carrying that mistrust torch and indeed how Ukraine was handled and Russian dealings still show a mistrust greater than the people who lived thru such times. The biggest impact though was the Stazi and a whole mistrust upon authority at some level still pertains and when the Snowden (NSAsceptic some could say given how the EU treats people who question things) was very much supported more in Germany and indeed more so than other countries in that area.
