15th Anniversary of Germany’s Reunification

Germany marks the 15th anniversary of its historic reunification Monday. An overwhelming majority of Germans firmly support unification, which followed East Germany's peaceful mass protests in 1989 that brought the Berlin Wall down. A ZDF TV poll showed 91 per cent in the east and 82 per cent in the west view reunification as having brought major improvements. But despite all the progress since October 3, 1990 when East Germany was absorbed by West Germany, there remains an underlying bitterness best described as a 'them and us' stance on both sides of what used to be the Iron Curtain. Talk To America explores progress and setbacks. Guests: Michael Werz, German Marshall Fund; and Clay Clemens, Hamilton Professor of Government, College of William and Mary.
