Tollwut

Peter Stosiek, who hails from Upper Silesia, has much to share, and the way he does it is truly delightful! Sixteen episodes from a tumultuous life: dramatic, amusing, strange, and poignant. It is not the major biographical events—such as the escape to Görlitz, imprisonments in East Germany, immediate dismissal from his university position, the establishment of a new life as a physician, or his refusal of military service—that are discussed here, but rather quieter moments, everyday stories that nonetheless reflect the reality of socialist history.
