Recalling a world that collapsed 22 years ago

Yesterday 22 years ago the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. And because of the occasion German television stations are showing programmes on aspects of life in the former GDR.

Yesterday ARD showed a film on what life was like in the notorious women's prison in Hoheneck near Chemnitz.

This evening Berlin Television screened a documentary on what life was like for homosexuals in the GDR.
