I come from a country that no longer exists. The Berlin Wall fell 35 years ago, on November 9, 1989. I grew up on the eastern side of it, but I’ve now been living in the Netherlands for half my life.
In the podcast “Over de Muur,” I look back. What memories do I still have? And how do my elementary school classmates look back on this? But the Netherlands also played an important role in the Cold War and maintained (trade) relations with the GDR. How did my new homeland view my old one back then?
