Der Mann, bei dem Honecker wohnte

Impressive autobiography of a man who lived forgiveness. November 1989. The inner-German wall falls and the Honecker era comes to an end. Shortly thereafter, Pastor Uwe Holmer is asked if he can take in Erich Honecker and his wife Margot. He himself has experienced 40 years of planned economy and Stasi surveillance in the former GDR. After intense deliberation, Uwe Holmer and his family make the historic decision: they host the ousted SED General Secretary and Chairman of the State Council for ten weeks in their parsonage. Uwe Holmer vividly recounts this time, including the external attacks. A gripping testimony of a man who lived mercy.
