Although it gets off to a slow start, This movie will grip your interest as Frau Bender struggle with the Stassi (and West German bureaucray) deepens.Based in Mannheim, Germany, ubivent has entered the virtual events platform market with a recently launched platform. The resulting worldwide publicity both embarrassed and offended the East German government and the escalating maneuvers of the Stassi to rid themselves of this embarrassment are disturbing.
For the next several years she stood every day at Checkpoint Charlie wearing a placard “Gebt mir meine Kinder zurück!” (Give me back my children). After her release she was deported to West Germany, but without her young daughters who are kept in East Germany. The incomparable Veronica Ferres plays Sara Bender, a single mother of two daughters who was imprisoned for attempting to leave East Germany. Der Tunnel is based on an actual events.Īlso based on a true story is Die Frau vom Checkpoint Charlie. Twinizens can see a clip from this film at the Königin Luise Stiftung, Köthener Straße 1, for the next week. There are numerous obstacles to success, not in the least the famously efficient Stassi (East German secret police) and what could have been a boring construction epic is in fact an exciting movie with some unexpected twist and turns that maintains suspense to the very end. In Der Tunnel, Harry Melchior (well-played by Heino Ferch) leads a group determined to help friends and relatives escape East Berlin by digging a tunnel under the wall. And for me it was a reminder of two films relating to the wall that I really liked. Twinity’s recreation of the Berlin Wall is particularly clever and not to be missed. I did keep the portait of Königin Luise as a logo. One final note: To make it easier to search in Twinity, the museum had a name change. Hopefully there will be no more computer debacles for a while and I can focus on making something of the museum. In the end, a couple of IT guys salvaged parts from other “dead” laptops and were able to rebuild mine into a functioning computer again – and while they were at it they “optimized” my computer for Twinity. And … trying to decide if it was worthwhile to buy another Windoze laptop just for Twinity (since that’s the only thing I do on the Windoze computer).
I live in an Apple world, but there are a few people around who have Windoze computers and I became a computer nomad, springing from one computer to the next and stealing a little time to try and keep things running. Then my Windoze laptop crashed and burned. Moving everything and getting set up to at least the extent where I could let people in the doors took a lot more time than I had expected.
Aesthetically it’s something of a loser, but it provides a huge amount of floor space. With a lot of “above and beyond” help from my indomitable friend Monica and a very nice Junior Real Estate Manager, I found a huge “Commercial Loft” on the Spree, near the East Side Gallery. Shortly after opening the museum, it became apparent that the available space would be inadequate for the extensive offerings I had in mind.
