They were the first babies of newly reunified Germany. Some were born in a vanished state, East German communist symbols stamped in their birth certificates. Others shortly after German reunification, exactly 30 years ago. They are as old as modern Germany.
Although they have no memories of the communist East German state, the GDR, many still see themselves as East German. They don't want communism back.
But East German history, culture and traditions are part of their identity.

Our daughter's birth certificate just says Deutschland and is in German since she was born in a German Hospital

Have you seen that awesome movie: "Goodby Lenin" about children of the DDR in East Berlin before and after the wall?
