This podcast—led and produced by Abby Williams—examines our Spirit of 1968 Walking Tour with Nadav Gablinger, which is concerned with how the face of modern, post-unification is impacted by the Student Movement of 1968, and the different developments in German politics it has ignited, including "Green" notions of human rights and environmental policy to the German discourse. The podcast also examines our Tour of Discovery at Die Mauer Panorama, which presents the Berlin Wall, built in 1961 and overcome in 1989, giving an impression of what it was like to live at and with the Wall on a fictitious autumn day in the 1980s. [NOTE: In the introduction, Abby includes a clip of “Drei Kugeln auf Rudi Dutschke” from Wolf Biermann’s 1973 album Warte nicht auf bessre Zeiten.]
