BENN TRIFFT: Freiheitsschock - Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk

In the organizer's words:

The AfD is an all-German phenomenon, but it is particularly successful in eastern Germany. How can this be explained? Why is liberal democracy being called into question in the very place where the first successful revolution on German soil took place? Ilko Sascha Kowalczuk tells the story of East Germany since 1990 as a struggle for freedom - a struggle whose outcome points the way for the future of the whole of Germany.

East Germany is currently the subject of intense debate, and Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk is one of the most prominent voices in this debate. The fight for freedom is his life's work. Having grown up under the SED dictatorship himself, he has published standard works on the history of the GDR and communism, but also on the revolution of 1989 and the consequences of the "takeover" of the GDR by the Federal Republic.
