Quite the opposite is true. Today’s Europe, any country of the EU is much, much more open and multicultural, than the DDR or most other Eastern European countries. We live in a different historical AND technological era - now even the poor can fly across Europe. The unfortunate populistic and right wing tendencies across Europe are visible because we have political pluralism that allows this (for better or worse).
Amazing interview! Thank you for posting! Your institute is vital!
Mir kommen fast die Tränen. Es tut so gut von der DDR zu hören so wie ich es auch kenne. Viva Cuba.
Very interesting!
👍✊👏
A multi-cultural GDR, the spirit of internationalism. Quite different than today's rising fascism and xenophobia in the FRG!
Die DDR war nicht besonders multikulturell. Sonst wäre jeder Staat mit ein paar Austauschstudierenden bereits multikulturell.

Absolutely. It's so tragic.
