In this episode called Trouble in Paradise, we are featuring the storyteller Sylvia Schöningh-Taylor, who shares the same birth year as the Deutsche Grundgesetz (German Fundamental Law). As we celebrate 75 years of democracy in Germany in 2024, Sylvia offers personal insights into the evolution of German democracy after World War II, the dismantling of authoritarian structures, and life in divided Germany. These four stories are told with her signature blend of humor and darkness, sincerity and intensity.
Sylvia Schöningh-Taylor is the author of “Kinderdiebe," “Karma Express," “Durch Nadelöhr ins Himmelreich," and “Mich wundert’s”. You can order books on demand directly from Sylvia: schoeningh.sylvia@gmail.com
