Bridget Kendall explores how 'Ostpolitik', the 1970s thaw in relations between West and East Germany, allowed family members separated by the Cold War division of their country to see each other - even as the East German secret police, the Stasi, kept watch. And she hears too how the relaxation of the border allowed a West German journalist new access to life in the East.
