Abstract

Furchert was born and grew up in East Berlin at a time when the city was separated by the infamous Wall. He will share his experiences of growing up in a family that resisted the restrictions of the East German government. His family was surprisingly given a pass to visit grandparents in the West and then returned to the East and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall shortly thereafter. Fouchert's family and personal story takes place "against a backdrop of dramatic, political, cultural, and historic times."
