by time news

Berlin – In the past few days, two letters to the editor arrived at the editorial office that worried me. There were two very friendly letters from attentive readers of the Berliner Zeitung. But in the first one, the letter writer called me “west socialized”. The second was about the fact that a text of mine had appeared on a page with the heading “at Christmas”. In the east it is called “at Christmas”. As everyone who grew up here knows.
