WESTERN
RADIO/TV:
The Berlin Wall can't keep the truth from East German living rooms.
The story is so clear even George Gafron, at the time a young boy,
could understand it:
" ... I learned
very early in table discussion after coffee on Sunday to make the
difference on official truth and the real truth. Because we had
hours and hours of discussions at home about issues like this.
I grew up in a very sensitive political family. Always we talked
about things. We watched television from the West. And when I was
a child and this was knocking on the door or was ringing the bell
and my mother said if I make noise like this [he clears throat]
please immediately change the program. And I was five, six, seven
years. And I realized there are two worlds, an official world and
the private world."
Later George Gafron escapes East Germany in the back of a car trunk.
He becomes a journalist.
