Now back to today’s episode.
Eileen shares some great details with us including her reasons for being a student in the GDR. Her first journey across the border and what life was like in 1980s Rostock as a foreign student.
It’s a fascinating story that includes the Stasis’s attempt to recruit her as an informer on her fellow students.
We welcome Eileen Ford-Price
