Four East Germans corresponded for decades with an American teacher, openly sharing about their frustrations, joys, and challenges of living in a communist country. Author David F. Strack kept those personal letters and has now distilled them into a riveting memoir about what life was like behind the Iron Curtain. Read about the lives of Gerhard, Jutta, Jürgen, and Barbara in their own words, as they share about their jobs, families, and political opinions. Learn how the fall of the Wall and the reuniting of "Ost und West" affected their lives, bringing wonderful freedoms to all of them, yet also economic disappointment to one.LETTERS OVER THE WALL is an enthralling memoir, chronicling four lives over a span of forty years, during a time of political upheaval and great societal change. This third edition contains an additional chapter and translated letter, and photos of the author's East German friends.

For over 45 years, David F. Strack taught German at both the high school and college level, finishing his career as an adjunct professor of German at the University of Redlands. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in history and German from the University of Redlands and his Master’s degree in German from Middlebury College. As part of his love of the language and culture, David traveled extensively in Europe, including several times to East Germany, the German Democratic Republic. There he became friends with four individuals who were striving to live normal lives in the communist state. For decades these friends exchanged letters with David, sharing their dreams and frustrations. His first book, LETTERS OVER THE WALL, brings you into the personal lives of everyday East Germans. In addition to leading many student and adult tour groups to Germany and Austria, David also taught English in Germany as a Fulbright Exchange Teacher. He is now retired from teaching and is living in Yucaipa, California. He still corresponds with his friends in Germany, and visits them whenever possible.
