In this special episode, we recorded a live-panel, discussing the 30th anniversary of German Unity.

Please excuse the audio quality, which is at times fluctuating in volume. Such is the nature of live events.

Barbara Müller, The Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany, invited guests to a panel discussion, revisiting the Mauerfall (Fall of the Wall), what it meant for the Germans, East and West, and whether the “new normal” was all that it could have been.

On the panel:
Barbara Mueller, JD, Honorary Consul, Federal Republic of Germany
Verena Walther, JD, Attorney
Janke Agusch, German Teacher at the GAI
Dr. Henning Schroeder, University of Minnesota

What ensued was a lively and at times passionate discussion that covers the moment the border opened, up to what it really meant for Germans on each side of the wall.
