Escape: Memories of a childhood

 Escaping from the German Democratic

Republic and into life as a refugee.

To Austria, then back to Germany.

The language was the same, but Germany

and Germany were not the same.

This is the year when little Edi’s life changes

drastically.

Her new home is called "refugee camp” -

for nearly nine months. Today, in 2010,

that’s a really short time.

But back then, for Edi, it was an eternity.
