Kinderland - A Childhood in East Berlin (en)

Vivid and funny, tender and nuanced, „Kinderland“ chronicles East Germany’s final months as seen through the eyes of a child. It’s a story of friendship, courage, and trust, but also of growing up between Young Pioneers and the church, fathers who „disappear”, and a ping-pong tournament interrupted by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Winner of the Max & Moritz Award for „Best Comic“, 2014 Erlangen International Comic Salon.

For the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, "Kinderland" is published by Reprodukt in an English-language edition.

„For anyone who wants to understand what life was like in Communist East Germany, Mawil’s ‚Kinderland‘ is a must-read.“ – Michael Pilz, Die Welt
