The massive political changes in East Germany thirty years ago were exciting, exhilarating and unsettling for citizens of the then German Democratic Republic, but also for those in the West, especially in West Berlin. The Salvation Army had been forbidden to function in the East for more than four decades, but now came the opportunity to build it up anew a truly historic responsibility.
The Fragments of Change in this volume are sometimes lighthearted, sometimes serious but always authentic stories recounting personal experiences and the situations with which many had to struggle and some still do, even now, 30 years later.
