You don't know me - I just happened to see this post of yours under the "writers block" listing.
Thank you very much for this post. As a dabbler in history I realized how foolish and absurd that question was and felt quite angry about it, but I was born in 1984, so I was only ever peripherally aware of the U.S.S.R. or East Germany while they still existed. I truly appreciate your insight as a witness to the inhumanity of the period.
