And use any twenties he decided to flee to the west as a child i was naive enough to dream of becoming a marine biologist and research dolphins but of course in east germany that was completely out of the question. In the mail there were maybe 5 vacancies for Marine Biology students and the students had to have permission to travel to the west for me that was impossible i would have had to break ties with my family in the west and serve in the army for 3 years so that was out of the question for me on the.

I wasnt allowed to study because of my family some of my siblings and other family members had applied to leave east germany or had been imprisoned for attempting to flee.
