This collection of documents, political speeches as well as academic
articles, by the internationally admired theater director, Heinz-Uwe
Haus, reflects positions and actions, which he shared with the majority
of the people in his country during the fall of the Wall and the
re-unification of the German nation. The reader is reminded of the sheer
joy of the peaceful revolution in autumn of 1989. The texts reflect how
millions of people reclaimed their basic human freedoms, ending not only
the post-WWII division of the country, but de-legitimizing the concept
of socialist rule.
