No Interview Yet
For my interview I had originally planned on interviewing a friend of mine from Germany, possibly even his parents. In my paper I wanted to answer the question of whether or not there is a psychological border between West and East Germany. My friend and his parents were all born on the East side of the Berlin Wall. I was hoping to get some good perspectives on what life was like living in the Communist East. However, I haven't received a response from them so I'm not sure if it will be possible. When I visited them in 2008 I heard some stories about what life was like, especially from the father. He really loves music and told me stories about having to smuggle certain albums across the border. Since I most likely won't be able to receive any interview from them, I plan on interviewing one of my professors. He was born in Poland and he is a geography professor. He didn't move to America until he was 25, so he spent some time experiencing the division. I haven't asked him yet if he is willing to do this for me, but I'm almost positive he won't mind.
