Author description

Born in 1950 in Dresden, Freya Klier is a filmmaker and author with a long history of political activism. In 1968, she was sentenced to 16 months' imprisonment when her attempt to flee East Germany failed. In 1980, she co-founded the German Democratic Republic (GDR) peace movement and in 1988 was arrested with other civil rights activists, stripped of her citizenship and compelled to leave the one-party communist state. Today she lives in Berlin and has written many books on wartime Europe.
