Dario spent Sunday running a Berlin polling station, which is the closest either of us gets to democracy as a physical process rather than an argument. The count added up. What stayed with him was the man who voted, called the whole thing rigged on his way out, and stared down the volunteers as though counting his ballot were an act of defiance. That scene, repeated across three regional elections, is where this episode starts.The results were a blow to the centre. Merz's conservatives fell below the threshold in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the AfD took a plurality in Saxony-Anhalt, and Berlin swung left. The German press met this with hyperbole rather than analysis, warning of caliphates and a returning GDR, which tells you more about the frailty of the system than about the voters. We draw the distinction we keep returning to: the far left may pursue policies that damage liberal democracy, such as expropriating housing, but it is not trying to end the system, whereas the far right says openly that it will. And we put more blame on neither extreme than on the centrist parties of the last thirty years, the Clintons and Blairs who mistook managing markets for governing and produced the disenfranchisement now feeding both flanks.Underneath it runs the harder question of what voting is even for. Not an individual right that benefits you, since one ballot changes nothing, but a mass check on power that only works if people keep making the effort and keep a basic trust in each other. That trust is nearly gone, which is why gerrymandering, party bans and self-dealing all look tempting and all corrode the thing they claim to defend. Liberal democracy may simply not be built to last, and whether it does now rests on voters choosing to keep it alive.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Dörte Thümmler won a world title at 15. She learned what had been done to her body years later.   On Dance Dad with John Corella, host John Corella, co-creator and executive producer of Dance Moms, sits down with Dörte, a 1987 world champion on uneven bars and 1988 Olympic medalist from East Germany. John brings his own history as a competitive dancer to the questions. This Dörte Thümmler gymnast interview gives a firsthand account of the East German gymnastics doping scandal, told with a translator beside her.   Dörte started in a sports kindergarten at age three and later trained at SC Dynamo Berlin. She choreographed her own floor routines but never got to choose the music. Then a new coach arrived and everything about training changed.   Listen for why she believes positive motivation would have won her more, and what she learned in 1998 about her own family. She also shares what speaking up cost her when most girls around her stayed quiet.   Her Olympic gymnast abuse story includes Dynamo Berlin gymnastics doping and GDR state sponsored doping. Today she stands with East German doping program athletes who are asking the German government for a monthly pension.   Press play to hear what Dörte wants coaches and parents to understand about the east german gymnastics doping scandal and why speaking up still matters. Her answers on how to keep young athletes safe are plain and worth hearing. This conversation includes accounts of childhood abuse, so please listen with care.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Olympian Dörte Thümmler and Her Translators 06:00 Starting Gymnastics at Three in East Germany 10:26 Alyssa Liu and Leaving Toxic Coaching 22:39 Ballet, Point Shoes, and Choreographing Her Own Floor 28:04 The Coach Change That Broke Her Love 36:36 Why Positive Motivation Would Have Won More 46:41 What Speaking Up Cost Her 51:37 Learning the Truth About State Doping 1:12:14 Advice to Keep Young Gymnasts Safe 1:25:29 The Boldest Thing She Has Done   Connect with Dörte Thümmler: Follow Dörte on Instagram    https://www.gymnastics-history.com/2025/11/blue-pills-and-broken-spines-how-east-germany-destroyed-its-young-gymnasts/  Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Was East Germany really a better place to be a woman?In this episode, Tina and Artie explore the complicated reality of women's lives in the GDR - a state where women worked at some of the highest rates in the world, had extensive childcare, greater economic independence and comparatively liberal reproductive rights, but still faced the Doppelbelastung of work and home, workplace sexism and exclusion from real political power.We also look at sex, abortion, divorce, the “Great Orgasm War,” independent women's movements and what reunification meant for East German women - politically liberating, but for many, economically devastating.Was the GDR a feminist success, a patriarchal dictatorship, or something far more complicated?This episode is available to watch as a video on YouTube.The Ministry of History offers more than just podcast episodes!

Historian Katja Hoyer was born in the last days of the GDR and grew up in the 1990s, watching many former East Germans struggle in the years after reunification.Learning about the Nazi era was a big part of her education but Katja left school feeling unsatisfied about what she'd been taught about the period when the Nazis rose to power.She knew about all the big political moments, but not much about the lives of ordinary Germans and how they responded to the dramatic changes that unfolded around all around them.So Katja the historian traced the lives of residents in the town of Weimar from 1919 to 1939 to examine how a cultural hub of democracy transformed into a Nazi stronghold.Further information Weimar: Life of the Edge of Catastrophe is published by Penguin.Katja's earlier book is Beyond the Wall: East Germany 1949-1990Learn more about Katja Hoyer on her websiteThis episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake and the Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores German history, the rise of the Nazis, Weimar, the Weimar Republic, Adolf Hitler, the Stasi, secret police, the Berlin Wall, Communism, Fascism, World War II, East Germany, the GDR, democracy, Jewish persecution, Buchenwald, concentration camps, Carl Weirich, Nazi era history, the rise of the Nazis.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

What did it mean to train as an officer in the East German Air Force, where technical skill, military discipline and socialist ideology were inseparable? Roland recalls his journey into the air arm of the Nationale Volksarmee, from dreams of flying MiG fighters to the demanding realities of officer training and service with Mi-8 helicopters. He describes the long days, intensive political instruction and constant expectation that war with NATO could erupt at any moment. Behind the impressive aircraft and tightly controlled military routines lay a system shaped by loyalty, surveillance and pressure to conform. Yet everyday life also depended on friendship, professionalism and the determination to keep complex Soviet-built machines flying. Roland offers a rare first-hand view inside one of the Warsaw Pact's most secretive forces, revealing how young East Germans were prepared to defend the GDR—and what happened when Gorbachev's reforms and growing unrest began to challenge everything they had been taught. You'll have to tune in next week for Roland's experiences as East Germany implodes and his subsequent service in the Bundeswehr.

This episode features an interview with the current Ambassador of Germany to Ireland, David Gill, about his experiences and reflections as a key member of the movement in the early 1990s that preserved and ensured disclosure of the Stasi Records. Ambassador Gill held the positions of Chairman of Normannenstraße Citizens' Committee at the Headquarters of the Ministry of State Security (1990); Head of Administration, Parliamentary Special Committee for the Dissolution of the GDR Ministry of State Security / Office of National Security (1990); and Spokesman and Head of Division of the Federal Commissioner for the Files of the State Security Service of the former GDR (1990-1992). Ambassador Gill is interviewed by Dagmar Hovestädt, Adjunct Professor at the Irish Centre for Human Rights and an internationally recognised expert on archives, human rights, and transitional justice, with over two decades of experience in journalism, strategic communications, and archival research. Formerly Head of Outreach and Research at the Stasi Records Archive in Berlin, Dagmar led major initiatives on public engagement, international collaboration, and the role of archives in addressing past human rights abuses. Dr Maeve O'Rourke, Senior Lecturer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, also joins the discussion to consider the relevance of the Stasi Records Act to truth-telling in Ireland - particularly in relation to institutional and family separation abuses, the records of which remain largely inaccessible to affected people.

This lecture focuses on experiences of hiding and help during the Holocaust across Europe, including the German Reich itself, to highlight the significance of surrounding societies for the survival of Jews. In a broad comparative analysis, going beyond a focus on individual rescuers and getting away from generalisations about supposed ‘national characteristics', Mary Fulbrook illuminates how local power structures and sense of community shaped non-Jewish responses to antisemitic policies, and affected the choices, experiences and chances of Jews attempting to evade persecution in different regions during the war. This lecture was recorded by Mary Fulbrook on the 18th of May 2026A graduate of Cambridge and Harvard universities, Mary Fulbrook is Professor of German History at University College London (UCL) and a Fellow of the British Academy. Her current research is on rescue and survival across Europe during the Holocaust.She is the author or editor of some 29  books, including Bystander Society: Conformity and Complicity in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust (2023); the Wolfson History Prize-winner Reckonings: Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice (2018); and the Fraenkel Prize-winning A Small Town near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust (2012), as well as, most recently, Ten Moments that shaped Berlin (2025) and, edited with Jürgen Matthäus, The Cambridge History of the Holocaust Vol. 2: Perpetrating the Holocaust: Policies, Participants, Places (2025).One of her major research areas has been the GDR, on which she wrote Anatomy of a Dictatorship: Inside the GDR, 1949-89 (OUP, 1995) and The People's State: East German Society from Hitler to Honecker (Yale UP, 2005). Dissonant Lives: Generations and Violence through the German Dictatorships (OUP, 2011; 2 vols. 2017) traces distinctive generational experiences across this traumatic century, from before World War One until after German unification in 1990.  She has also written on German National Identity after the Holocaust (Polity Press, 1999) and Historical Theory (Routledge, 2002). More general books include A Concise History of Germany (CUP, 3rd edn. 2018) and A History of Germany 1918-2020: The Divided Nation (Blackwell, 5th edn 2021). She has directed a series of AHRC-funded interdisciplinary research projects, and is currently directing a collaborative project funded by the AHRC and the German Research Foundation (DFG) jointly with Prof. Christina Morina of Bielefeld University.Service to UCL includes five years as Dean of the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences, and a dozen years as Head of the German Department. Among wider professional commitments, Mary Fulbrook serves on numerous academic advisory boards concerned with Holocaust history and representation, including the USHMM Academic Committee, the Academic Advisory Board of the Foundation for the former Nazi Concentration Camps at Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora, and the Editorial Advisory Board of Yad Vashem Studies.

For the global hip hop and graffiti scene, the year 1984 was a defining era. The movie Beat Street hit theaters and triggered an avalanche that keeps on rolling to this day. While in the West, documentaries like Style Wars or movies like Wild Style provided the blueprint, the reality behind the Iron Curtain looked completely different. In this episode, I have Jon Chardiet as my guest, who played the iconic main role of the graffiti painter Ramo in the movie Beat Street.Why did Beat Street make such a massive impact especially in the East of Germany? While other hip hop movies were strictly blocked in the GDR, Beat Street was officially shown in state cinemas and on television. The reasons for this were political. The GDR leadership saw the movie as a perfect social critique of a rough New York shaped by poverty. The fact that the teenagers in the film grow up in poor conditions and Ramo dies in the subway tunnel at the end was seen as a prime example of the cruel capitalist system. However, the plan of the officials backfired. Instead of loathing the system, the East German youth absorbed the aesthetics, breakdancing, and graffiti. Beat Street thus became the big bang of East German hip hop culture.In the graffiti community, the film has often been viewed critically from a cultural-historical perspective. The pieces in the movie were mostly not painted by real writers from the New York scene of that time, but by film set artists, surprisingly under the guidance of Bill Blast or Phase2. The result was an often very naive, simplistic look. Yet, due to a lack of other sources, it was precisely this film graffiti that heavily shaped the style of the East German graffiti pioneers in the eighties and early nineties. Despite these justified compromises in authenticity, the film still has a gigantic fanbase today from the generation that picked up their very first can, or mostly markers, back then precisely because of Beat Street. Spray cans were not available for purchase in the GDR.Now, many decades after the theatrical release and 35 years after I saw the film for the very first time myself, the circle is complete. Jon Chardiet, now 65 years old and with a successful career as an author and actor under his belt, was a guest in Dresden for a weekend at the ALL41 and Back in the Days Festival by the House of Urban Culture, an annual mecca for hip hop enthusiasts, collectors, and nostalgics. Away from the hustle and bustle of the festival, I met up with Jon for an extensive deep dive conversation.We talk about all the questions that have been burning under our fingernails for decades. He shares how he got the role in the first place and what the atmosphere on set in the New York of the early eighties was really like. We shed light on the bizarre translation errors in the German dubbing and, of course, talk in great detail about his legendary movie death in the fight with Spit.For me personally and a film producer myself, this is a piece of hip hop and graffiti history and a journey back to the days when graffiti was just beginning to network into a scene and conquer the world.

Katja Hoyer is a German-British historian who has made a career out of explaining Germany to the world—and, just as importantly, to Germans themselves. Born in East Germany in 1985 and now based in Britain, she has written acclaimed histories of the German Empire, the GDR, and most recently the Weimar Republic. Tyler and Katja discuss why communism made East Germans more loyal to the system while it bred dissidents in Poland and Hungary, how happy or unhappy life in the GDR actually was, Tyler's own bleak day-trip to East Berlin in 1984, the underrated literature of the GDR (Christa Wolf, Brigitte Reimann), whether Good Bye, Lenin! got the era right, why it's no coincidence that Richter and Polke came from the East, the strange coexistence of communist prudishness and Germany's nudist culture, what Merkel's East German background did and didn't give her as a chancellor, why East Germans remain dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions today, what makes Weimar the cultural and spiritual heart of Germany, why relatively few Jews ever settled there, how much the citizens of Weimar knew about Buchenwald, what actually killed the Weimar Constitution, how she'd rewrite the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler's citizenship problem, underrated German thinkers, the complacency behind Germany's current economic decline, which side of the Weißwurstäquator she'd choose to live on, and much more.

This week we're excited to present a recent conversation with acclaimed German filmmaker Christian Petzold as he discusses the NYFF50 selection Barbara (2012) in a conversation moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Make sure to catch Petzold's latest feature, the NYFF63 selection Miroirs No. 3 currently playing at Film at Lincoln Center. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/miroirs Set in 1980, Barbara, the first chapter of Christian Petzold's trilogy “Love in Times of Oppressive Systems,” centers around a doctor—played by the incomparable Nina Hoss, in her fifth film with the director—exiled to a small town from East Berlin as punishment for applying for an exit visa from the GDR. Planning to flee for Denmark with her boyfriend, Barbara remains icy and withdrawn around her colleagues, particularly with the lead physician, who is hiding a secret of his own. With her patients, however, the guarded doctor is kind, warm, and protective, even risking her own safety for one of her charges. Masterfully controlled and totally absorbing, this Cold War thriller expertly details the costs of telling and withholding the truth.

On this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare Podcast, we sit down with return guest Bridget Mulvenna, Vice President of National Business Development at Judi Health, to break down the biggest pharmacy drivers of 2026. Bridget offers insights into how plan sponsors and benefits brokers and consultants can strategically evaluate pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) by looking beyond unit costs and focusing on drug mix - formulary decisions and the shift to biosimilars, prior authorization approval rates, the generic dispensing rate (GDR), and much more.The discussion covers the growing need to understand what challenges employer plan sponsors face, and why bringing a consultative approach to the table to help solve them is so important. How will moving to a biosimilar-first approach lower net drug costs for plan sponsors? How can a plan cover GLP-1s given their evolution and greater price transparency, expanding clinical indications, and direct-to-plan pricing models? And of course, Bridget shares her views on the sudden acceleration of state and federal PBM reform. As new legislation forces the industry to adapt, plan sponsors must seek forward-thinking platforms already aligned with the changes to provide better pricing and care for members.HighlightsBridget emphasizes the financial advantages of adopting a biosimilar-first approach, which can significantly lower net drug costs for plan sponsors despite smaller rebate checks.GLP-1s are transformative medications - price transparency, expanding clinical indications, and direct-to-plan pricing models will influence future plan designs.Evaluating PBMs beyond unit costs is critical: formulary management, prior authorizations, and other clinical programs have the greatest impact on total pharmacy spend.The rapid acceleration of state and federal PBM reform is astonishing, and alignment with future proof organizations is essential, because there's more to come.Related Content6 recommendations for PBM procurement and Rx benefits optimizationAH102 - PBM Reform Update: Health Policy Changes Slowly, Until it Doesn't, with Lloyd FioriniReplay - PMPM vs Clinical Guarantees: A Pharmacist and an Actuary Explain How to Create Predictability Around Pharmacy SpendAH064 - Empowering Plan Sponsors: Data Access & Analysis, with Bridget MulvennaFor more information about Judi Health and this episode, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

This episode looks at The Lives of Others, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's haunting exploration of surveillance, complicity, and the brittle architecture of authoritarian legality in the final years of the German Democratic Republic (GDR/East Germany). The critically acclaimed 2006 film examines how law can be co-opted into an instrument of domination, how bureaucratic routines of “security” normalize repression, and how small acts of resistance acquire profound moral weight under systems built on fear and an extensive system of informers. The Lives of Others raises enduring questions about the ethics of observing and informing in Cold War Eastern Europe. To help unpack these themes, I'm joined by Mark Drumbl and Barbara Holá, whose recent book Informers Up Close: Stories from Communist Prague (Oxford Univ. Press) offers a deeply researched, empirically grounded look at informers within repressive regimes and transitional justice processes. Timestamps:0:00      Introduction4:23       East Germany in 19846:32.      The timelessness of informing7:35.      The surveillance state in the Eastern bloc13:27      Informers and informing19:36.    Informing's afterlife23:26    The book's methodology and illustrative cases33:26    The corrosive impact on social relations35:02    Who becomes an informant and why38:22    Informers and transitional justice44:57    The opening of the secret files50:39    Informers and agents55:54    Resistance and historical revisionism1:00:46 How the book came aboutFurther reading:Ash, Timothy Garton, The File (1997)Burkhard, Bilger, “Piecing Together the Secrets of the Stasi,” The New Yorker (May 27, 2024)Cords, Suzzane, “Stasi: How the GDR kept its citizens under surveillance,” DW (Aug. 1, 2025)Drumbl, Mark A. & Holá, Barbora, Informers Up Close: Stories from Communist Prague (2024)Alford, C.

Icon Dresden: Baroque City, Air War Symbol, Political Token (University of Michigan Press, 2026) by Dr. Susanne Vees-Gulani explores how memory and politics in Dresden after its 1945 bombing are deeply intertwined with the city's urban history. It highlights the complex origins of Dresden's reputation as an exclusively cultural center, focusing on urban planning, marketing, tourism, and the city's visual archive since the 17th century. Based on this iconic status, a narrative of victimhood arose after its destruction that ignored responsibilities while highlighting the city's innocence. Despite its origin in Nazi propaganda, this narrative influenced postwar political discourse in socialist and post-reunification Germany. Icon Dresden also provides insight into Dresden's role under National Socialism and the GDR's evasive response to this history. It reveals how the strong presence of far-right movements in the city today stems from multiple discourses formed over centuries and communicated from generation to generation. Drawing on urban, heritage, and tourism studies, visual and memory studies, and environmental psychology, Icon Dresden examines Dresden's history, identity, visual representations, and rebuilding decisions. It exposes the narratives that define its place in German and international memory and how, paradoxically, they support both Dresden's current image as a symbol of peace and reconciliation and its backing of nativist and far-right movements. The book is available Open Access. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
