Meet Yvonne Haeaefke, who grew up in Communist East Germany where the authority was accepted as providers of safety, guarantors of comfort and instigators of an equanimous community.

Conformity was the better call, but not if you were born into the Haeaefke family. Fueled by encouraging parents, their only daughter was privately taught to ask 'why' and to be curious about the world. However, it was sensible that Yvonne also be careful about passionately displaying her thirst for learning and articulating creative dreams in public. The regime were not in favour !
