Germany.
1:21:06
Sound is in order. - Right.
1:21:09
Right. I'm ready. - Camera running.

3, 2, 1...

Berlin.
1:21:28
Still running.

Berlin.
1:21:32
In a historic special session of the Central Committee of the Social Unity Party of Germany...
1:21:36
the General Secretary of the SUG's CC and Chairman of the GDR's Council of State,
1:21:41
Comrade Erich Honecker, in a great matter of humanitarian politeness,
1:21:45
consented to the entering of the country by people from the FRG who've been requesting exile at the GDR embassies in Prague and Budapest.
1:21:50
In this development, Honecker sees...
1:21:54
a change in the East-West-relations and promised every man and woman entering the country...
1:21:56
a change in the East-West-relations and promised every man and woman entering the country...
1:21:58
a welcome money of 200 East Marks.
1:22:01
Unemployment, bad future prospects...
1:22:05
and the increasing election victories of the neo-Nazi Republicans...
1:22:09
made the unnerved FRG citizens turn their backs
1:22:13
on the capitalism to try and start...
1:22:17
a new life in the country of workers and farmers.
1:22:23
Here they park, the new GDR citizens from the FRG.
1:22:27
The entering FRG citizens were accommodated in the Berlin districts...
1:22:31
"Center" und "Friedrich's Grove". The CC of the SUG...
1:22:35
created the campaign "Solidarity West" because of the historic situation,
1:22:40
to make sure all the new citizens receive proper living space.
1:22:45
Somehow I have to admit that my game started to break free.
1:22:49
Maybe the GDR I created for my mother, was the one I would have liked to have.
1:22:53
Citizens who are ready to accommodate a refugee from the FRG,
1:22:57
please report to their Section Plenipotentiary.
