The David McWilliams PodcastGermany, 10 Years After “Wir Schaffen Das”, What Really Happened? with Katja HoyerTen years ago, Angela Merkel opened Germany’s doors to more than 1.1 million asylum seekers in a single year with the words “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”). Today, Germany has over 3.4 million asylum seekers, about 4% of its population, and politics, society, and culture have been transformed. In this episode, we dive into what really happened over the last decade. We talk with historian Katja Hoyer about the numbers, the culture clashes, the rise of the AfD from a fringe party to polling at 25%, and the everyday realities in towns where the refugee population doubled overnight. From schools where 80–90% of kids now...

CurrentlyGermany: United and DividedA programme marking the 35th anniversary of the Treaty of Unification that brought East and West Germany together after 40 years of separation. Historian Katja Hoyer was born in East Germany in the 1980s. Then, her home town of Guben was a bustling hub of the GDR's chemical industry, shrouded in smog and crowded with people. Today, it is clean and beautifully rebuilt, but also rather desolate and depopulated as residents debate how best to revitalise the region. 40% of people in Guben now vote for the right wing AfD party and express disappointment with life 35 years after reunification...

The GistKatja Hoyer on Germany’s AFD and the Limits of Calling Someone a NaziToday on The Gist, the Texas Democrats’ walk-out, a dramatic gesture that ultimately did little because they never had the leverage to win. From there he zooms out to Europe, where far-right parties are suddenly topping polls in France, the UK, and now Germany. Historian Katja Hoyer joins to explain what’s behind the AFD’s rise and why calling them “Nazis” isn’t scaring voters away the way it once did. In the spiel, Trump meets Putin in a summit that’s long on spectacle but pretty short on substance, which may be exactly how both of them like it....

Dass die Wahlbeteiligung so hoch war, zeigt doch, dass die Leute wissen, dass es um was geht, und sie deswegen ihre Stimme abgeben wollen.“

Subject to ChangeThe Lives of East Germans - Katja HoyerIf, like me, your idea of East Germany is dominated by spy movies and and you think that perhaps it was nothing more than a open air prison with the Stasi round every corner then Katja Hoyer's remarkable book Beyond the Wall is an ideal corrective. Katja blends personal tales (some happy and some utterly tragic) with an analysis of the wider geopolitical scene. Above all it is fantastically readable and unsurprisingly is on pretty much every 'book of the year' list in the newspapers. She was a great guest and I very much hope you will enjoy listening...

Geteilte AnsichtenKatja Hoyer: Farbtupfer im Grau der Diktatur?Warum wir die historischen Rahmenbedingungen bei der DDR-Debatte so schnell aus den Augen verlieren
Es ist das vielleicht umstrittenste Geschichtsbuch der letzten Jahre: Die heftigen Diskussionen, die um die Historikerin Katja Hoyer und ihre DDR-Betrachtung „Diesseits der Mauer“ entbrannt sind, sagen jedoch eher etwas über die deutsche Ostdebatte als über dieses Werk: Das bietet nämlich erstmals einen so umfassenden wie neutralen Blick. Im Gespräch schildert die Autorin, warum ihre Außensicht als Nachgeborene nötig war und weshalb die Debatte über die DDR weiterhin so emotional verzerrt geführt wird.

In 1990, a country disappeared. For the previous forty-one years, East Germany had existed in Western minds as more of a metaphor than a place, more of a grey communist blur than a land of real people with friends and families, workplaces and homes. As Germany once again became a single state, the history of the GDR was simplified and politicised...

Born in the GDR herself, Katja tells me how much more there is to the East German state than the Berlin Wall, the Stasi, and the grey totalitarian dystopia of popular imagination. She tells me about Erich Honecker's wild side, about the importance of coffee to East German morale, and about how inevitable...

That state was East Germany or the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This was a nation that emerged out of the ashes of World War II and existed until the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1990. The GDR is remembered today in the West as a neurotic, oppressive nation, synonymous with its Ministry for State Security or Stasi...
