Germany: The Ghost of the Wall (economic problems for East Germans)
21 minutes, 2002
Ref: 228

When the Berlin Wall collapsed, people on both sides of the divide had high hopes for the future. In the East, those hopes have since been dampened by some hard realities: high unemployment; loss of purpose; a sense it has been swallowed by its larger, richer sibling from the West. And many on both sides, would like the Wall back again. Easterners are still haunted by The Ghost Of The Wall.
