In Two Times: A former East German scientist tells his story of life in two Germanies

Dietrich Stoyan grew up when Germany was divided into two countries following World War II-the communist East and the democratic West. In this insightful, often humorous memoir, Dr. Stoyan-a noted mathematician and scientist-shares his experiences and observations of life under the oppressive communist regime, and the challenging transition to democracy when Germany was once again united. From early years in a children's home (his father a victim of the war; his mother too poor to support him and his siblings) to discovering personal revelations in his Stasi file (the record that the Ministry of State Security kept on him) to eventually becoming rector (president) of a small university in his beloved Freiberg, this story tells of strange events only possible in two strange times.
