We, the people who were caught in the middle, were not in the position to make the kind of observations you did. We were too much involved''. Some time ago designer and publisher Svea Gustavs, living in Amsterdam but born as a citizen of the German Democratic Republic, spoke these magical words that lead to this book. Together we sat and opened my boxes of pictures, went through my archive and examined it with the eye of a historian. For more than twelve years I had travelled the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union reporting on all kinds of developments. I used my camera in my attempt to understand what was unfolding''. [Leo Erken]. - Fine copy
