Story
In 1945, Germany lay in ruins, morally and materially. The German people stood condemned by history, responsible for a horrifying genocide and a war of extermination. But by 2015 Germany looked to many to be the moral voice of Europe, welcoming almost one million refugees. At the same time, it pursued a controversially rigid fiscal discipline and made energy deals with a dictator. Many people have asked how Germany descended into the darkness of the Nazis, but this book asks another vital question: how, and how far, have the Germans since reinvented themselves?

Story
In the summer of 1961, a wall of barbed wire goes up quickly in the dead of night, officially dividing Berlin. Luisa Voigt lives in West Berlin, but her grandmother lives across the border and is now trapped inside the newly isolated communist country of East Germany. Desperate to rescue her grandmother and aware of the many others whose families have been divided, Luisa joins a secret spy network, risking her life to help bring others through a makeshift underground tunnel to West Germany. Their work is dangerous, and not everyone will successfully escape or live to see freedom.

Story
The European continent was devastated in the wake of World War II, and the conflict left the Soviet Union and the United States as uncontested superpowers. This ushered in over 45 years of the Cold War, and a political alignment of Western democracies against the Communist Soviet bloc that produced conflicts pitting allies on each sides fighting, even as the American and Soviet militaries never engaged each other.

Story
Einleitung - Die unsichtbaren Mauern. Stell dir vor, du wachst in einem Land auf, das gerade einen der monumentalsten Momente seiner Geschichte erlebt hat. Es ist der 9. November 1989, und du stehst vor der Berliner Mauer, die plötzlich ihre unüberwindbare Macht verloren hat. Menschen klettern über die Mauer, tanzen auf ihr, umarmen sich und feiern das Ende einer fast drei Jahrzehnte währenden Trennung. Doch obwohl die Mauer in dieser Nacht gefallen ist, sind die Spuren der Trennung und die Narben der Teilung in den Herzen und Köpfen der Menschen geblieben.

Story
Deutschland – Deutschland: ein historischer Moment. Selten gibt es Augenblicke in der Geschichte, die wie ein Brennglas wirken. Das einzige Fußballspiel zwischen der DDR und der BRD ist ein solcher herausragender, brisanter und zugleich universaler Moment. Als sich am 22. Juni 1974 für neunzig Minuten die Bruderstaaten gegenübertraten und die DDR durch ein 1:0 von Jürgen Sparwasser den Sieg davontrug, brachten der Zufall und die Zeitläufte Menschen und Ereignisse zusammen, die Einfluss nahmen auf das Leben nicht nur der Beteiligten, sondern auf beide Länder und ihre Menschen.
