The darker skin colour did not play a role for the children themselves; it was only through external perceptions that they were constantly reminded that they were different.
Contrary to the official doctrine of international solidarity and friendship between peoples, they tell in authentic testimonies how they dealt with the subliminal and sometimes open racism they experienced as children and young people in the GDR.
With the help of songs, photos, diaries, Stasi files and bizarre self-confessions, they shed light on their childhood behind the anti-fascist protective wall.
