Dr. Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk und Bodo Ramelow
Much of what succeeded or failed in the reunification process after 1990 continues to have an impact today, shaping expectations, disappointments, and political attitudes.
Bodo Ramelow, the former Minister-President of the Free State of Thuringia, and historian Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk discuss the causes, perceptions, and prospects of an increasingly polarized society.
They analyze the success of the AfD not only in the new federal states and discuss our shared responsibility for the future of democracy in Germany.
Book presentation and discussion:
- Bodo Ramelow, politician and Vice President of the German Bundestag
- Dr. Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk, Research Advisor at the DDR Museum
- Moderator: Natascha Freundl, RBB culture editor, Berlin
