Citizens tell their stories about Berlin's reunification: In dozens of interviews, several East Berlin personalities and "normal" East Berliners - including those close to the system - describe their experiences from their personal perspectives about reunification, their hopes, fears and experiences. The interviews are organized according to topics such as occupation and work, sports in East and West, formative experiences, racism and discrimination during reunification, the transformation of Berlin, school and university, feminist perspectives, and art and culture, and are made accessible via a historical map.
