Tweeter of the Free World

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2020

America is home to the” Tweeter of the Free World.” When I grew up in West Berlin during the Cold War, we listened to RIAS Berlin (Radio in the American Sector), A Free Voice of the Free World. Unlike the Tweeter of the Free World, RIAS tried to report objectively and factually. https://www.walled-in-berlin.com/j-elke-ertle/Rias-47-years-voice-of-the-free-world/

For a sneak peek at the first 20+ pages of my memoir, Walled-In: A West Berlin Girl’s Journey to Freedom, click “Download a free excerpt” on my home page and feel free to follow my blog about anything German: historic and current events, people, places and food.

Walled-In is my story of growing up in Berlin during the Cold War. Juxtaposing the events that engulfed Berlin during the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, the Berlin Wall and Kennedy’s Berlin visit with the struggle against my equally insurmountable parental walls, Walled-In is about freedom vs. conformity, conflict vs. harmony, domination vs. submission, loyalty vs. betrayal.
