An article of the Hoyerswerdaer Tageblatt, the title: “The best days are yet to come”. Grit Lemke has been dealing with the upheavals and the dark past in her home town of Hoyerswerda for a long time. She wrote the book “Children of Hoy – Freedom, Happiness and Terror”. “What has to happen for people to come back?” she asked in a discussion with the federal government’s commissioner for Eastern Europe, Carsten Schneider (SPD), at the Kulturfabrik. “Actually, structural change also means freedom. We are free to redesign everything.” Lemke and Schneider are united in trying to counteract the bad mood with more optimism about the future.
