• Sylvia Stolz to be released in mid-April;
• Hans learns to love Father Stalin as a schoolchild in Nauen;
• Moved to grandmother’s in West Germany right before the ’53 uprising in East Germany;
• Contrasting the high-pressure West with the less affluent East;
• Disenchantment following death of Kennedy, and a stint in the Navy;
• Wealth of information on the Internet changed his view of history.
