A Wall Within

The Berlin Wall fell almost 30 years ago, but it left a lasting mark on Germany. Frank, a sailor from Hamburg, was separated from his first love when the wall was built. Meanwhile, his brother, Bernd, apparently went to work for the Stasi, the DDR’s terrifying secret police. Drawing on her own Franco-German roots, Catherine Veaux-Logeat combined her family history with that of the Cold War: four cousins separated by history, politics and geography over several decades. A personal project framed as an investigation, in which fascinating secrets are exposed one after another.
