In all the euphoria over German unification ,no one stopped to think what it would mean for Jana and her generation of East Germans. These were the kids of the seventies, who had grown up in the shadow of Communism with all its hokey comforts : the Young Pioneer youth groups ,the cheerful Communist propaganda, and with the comforting knowledge that they lived in a Germany unblemished by an ugly Nazi past and a callous capitalist future.

Today they have all the right Western products and mannerisms .But who are they ?
