18 years after the wall fell down between East and West Germany the discussions doesn´t find an end...
Today we had a visitor in our prison who repaired the washing machine in our laundry. He´s an older man, I think about 55 years. When he realized that I´m originally came from East Germany (I live in West Germany since 5 years) he said: "In my opinion the wall has to be rebuild." I answered: "Yes and we will put you on it." All my West Germans collegues fell in big laughter and one of them said: "Then you can watching all out."
It´s a shame that after so many years after the reunion of Germany so much hate against the own people exists. A lot of East Germans are without work because after the reunion lots of industry broke down. Thousands of East Germans travelling every weekend or moving to West Germany to find work like me. We have no other possibility. That´s the point lots of West Germans have a hugh problem with. But I´m sure they would do the same.
Lots of them have the opinion that all East Germans are stupid and to lazy to work. But thats not true. Everywhere in the world bad humans exists not only in my home country. I hate that kind of discussion and I don´t be ashamed to say: "Yes, I´m an East German!"
